  Great experience at Blu Seafood in Gilbert. Tomas was awesome and took really good care of us the entire time. Super friendly, attentive, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Food was great and the service was even better. Definitely recommend asking for Tomas if you come here. We’ll definitely be back!

  Never been to this place before, my wife and I just happend to pop in for a quick lunch before my daughters cross country meet, first off it was a little fancier then j thought it was gonna be, super clean, and the staff was awesome, we mentioned it was our first time in and our waiter took his time and explained everything about the menu, we just had a few appetizers just to be able to try several different items, and we were not disappointed on any of it, I could go on about the food but it would make this review a little to lengthy, just know that we will definitely make the drive from Tucson to eat there again cause in my opinion it was well worth it.

  Perfect for girls night!! The restaurant can be a bit loud with their music, so it’s best for fun groups and not first dates, but the drinks were incredible, the food is some of the best we’ve tried , first class service, Tomas is the best waiter in the world and the price point for some of the best food we’ve had in Arizona, this place deserves being at the top of your list.

  Dear Blu Seafood Management, I am writing to share feedback regarding a recent reservation for a special occasion at your restaurant. Having had a wonderful experience dining with you in the past, I was unfortunately very disappointed with this visit. While our drinks and the Roca Shrimp appetizer were enjoyable, my main course was unsatisfactory. I ordered the halibut, which I had loved during my previous visit. However, the piece served was a very thin tail-end cut (about a half-inch thick), which was overcooked and dry due to pan-searing. When I informed our server and requested a replacement, she took another table's order before attending to my request, causing a 15-minute delay while my husband finished his meal. Because the rest of my plate had gone cold, I requested an entirely new plate. Unfortunately, the second portion of halibut was prepared with the exact same thin cut of fish pan fried, and was equally dry and returned. My husband has finished his dinner, and now I had only the appetizer and some potatoes. The manager came out with another plate of halibut, but the cut was thinner and prepared the same exact way. I refused the plate. I was so disappointed. The manager comp the order. Then we order the Crème Brulé, I had read in the reviews of your establishment that it was not cooked properly. We love Creme Brule, Blu verified this assessment. Crème Brulé is to be warm custard with a crystalized caramel sugar coated that is to be actually cracked into. This Crème Brulé was a sad example of this. There was no cracking of sugar coating, and no warm custard. Blu, I ask you this. Where are your chefs? All I observed were line cooks. There was no one doing quality control on the dishes being sent out to the customers. I gave you guys rave reviews to all of my friends and co-workers on the first visit, that you were worth it. I am going to retract that recommendation. If you are going to sell less that excellent cuts of fish, then learn how to prepare the fish that it will not be an insult to the palate. I always have gone to Oceans 44 for good seafood. I have never had a bad experience. Your price range is up there with their prices. Maybe $10 less that most on the list. Your savings of $10 destroys quality. You are over pricing your food. Every good “chef” or excellent home cook knows that you either bake or steam Halibut. NOT PAN FRY! And I know how to cook. To go out to eat, is to experience quality food without having to put the labor or clean up into it. It is a vacation of the drudgery of cooking. I seek that all the time. I had hoped it would be you with seafood close to home. Guess not. I will be driving to Scottsdale from now on, and not to Blu Seafood I hope you will take this feedback into consideration to ensure better consistency in food preparation and service for future guests. Sincerely, Jennifer B.

  The service and atmosphere were great, but the culinary execution was inconsistent for a $200 bill covering four dishes and two glasses of wine. The restaurant itself was spotless with a vibrant, welcoming vibe, and the staff kept everything moving efficiently with virtually no wait time. The meal started strong with the tuna tartare, which was easily the standout dish of the table—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. The sea bass was also cooked well, but the remaining plates fell short on basic technique. The ceviche was far too soupy, with excessive liquid overpowering what should have been crisp, bright seafood. The biggest disappointment was the risotto; authentic risotto relies on simplicity, proper stock, and coaxing starch from the rice to create a natural creaminess while keeping an al dente bite, but this dish tasted overwhelmingly of heavy cream masking soft rice. At $200, it is not absurdly high for a seafood dinner with drinks, but at that price point, the kitchen fundamentals should match the quality of the front-of-house service.
