My date and I had a fantastic evening at Blu! It was empty (Monday), and we were seated at a quiet window table. Our waiter was not only very knowledgeable, but also understood that we were out for a romantic night and let us eat at a very comfortable pace. To start, we had a chestnut and porcini soup and a carmelized onion tarte w/ goat cheese. These were both excellent - fantastic tastes that were right-on. Our entrees were the maple glazed venison which had delicious tastes of cumin, and the mustard-crusted lamb that was not only perfect, but also a large portion. Both of these melted away perfectly. Being athletes, we really appreciated the fact that we could enjoy gourmet food that had been prepared in a health-conscious manner. One downside: some wine prices were 3 times retail. That's a bit much for storing and uncorking a bottle.
Pros: perfect service, modern ambience, melting meats
Cons: pricey wine list
