Living in Colorado, I know the idea that you can't get good sushi unless you're near the ocean is nonsense. I eat a lot of sushi, and even so, I was very impressed with the sushi at Blue tonight. Everything was fresh, delicious, and presented nicely. Literally some of the best sushi I've had anywhere. Sitting at the sushi bar made for a lively dinner experience, and my server Jocelyn was absolutely the best! I love visiting Lincoln for football games, and from now on, Blue will be a mandatory meal when I'm in town.

My mother, my children and I came for lunch yesterday. We have always had great service eating at Blue but yesterday was horrible. We didn’t mind the wait for a table. We understood that it was kind of busy, but we were not told that food was running very behind. If we were told that they were running an hour behind on food we would’ve went somewhere else, especially when we were seated outside in the humidity because the inside was almost an hour wait when we got sat down the waitress that we had Acted like she did not even want to serve us. She was very fast about talking to us. She was very pushy about when we ordered and when we finally got our drinks, she sat my daughter‘s drink down so fast that it tipped over and spilt everywhere and instead of apologizing, she ripped the napkin that was holding the lemonade that was spilled away from the table and Whipped the napkin to get the lemonade off, and she walked away. with her Ripping away the napkin that had the spilt liquid on it it spilled all over my daughter shoes In which she was wearing sandals, which made her feet very sticky. Her attitude towards being there and serving us was atrocious. I don’t know if I ever want to come there again because the service was Bad and we had to wait over an hour for our food. I told her to please send our kids meal first so they can eat first but their meals did not come until after the sushi was made and delivered to the table and how the sushi came out was mine came out first and then 20 minutes later, my mother’s came out and then 25 to almost 30 minutes later the bento boxes came out. Tell me how is this acceptable if you were running so far behind on food then maybe you should put a pause in having people come in and then the chicken strips that my kids had were so overcooked that the crust was so hard that they couldn’t even eat it. I have worked in customer service for over 20 years And this is very unacceptable
