Lunch was a dissappointment. Raw oysters on the half shell were a bit below average. I ordered the fish of the day special, scallop paella, which was way overcooked, so the seafood was tough and dry. My wine was good, and the service was great. more

After eating at blu seafood several times with generally promising meals, it was already clear service was so so and the food was slow to arrive - but nothiing prepared my party for the latest encounter.
