Despite the price, I had a very good experience! I ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and the Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna Appetizer, with a strawberry mojito. All were delicious! (And a little cheaper with happy hour) If you're willing to spend a little more and get a wonderful experience I would recommend! Not shown here, but my friend let me try his Artichoke Pasta and it was DIVINE. I'm getting a whole plate to myself next time.

I've been dining here for several years, and it never disappoints. This evening, I went out with both a soup and appetizer. The appetizer was called a "Tropical Ceviche," a delightful blend of white fish and tropical fruit. A very nice presentation in a parfait glass. The a very traditional New England style Clam Chowder. The flavors were perfect. However, I was disappointed that there weren't more visible chunks of clam. Finally, a new dish for me, compared to what I normally get. The shrimp brochette. This dish construction was the typical bacon wrapped shrimp. The reason I have avoided this dish is because I have found anything bacon wrapped tends to be overwhelmed by the bacon. This was NOT the case. The bacon truly complemented the shrimp flavor. There is a small sliver of jalapeño but it added only a very small amount of heat. The best part was the creamy butter sauce. Well executed!

I swear to you.. this place was made for my girl. To the atmosphere, to the food. It was like they went inside her head to make this restaurant. Absolutely delicious on everything we ordered and hands down the best oysters I've ever had and I've had a lot of oysters. We have to come back and try everything on their menu. If I could, I would give them more stars than 5 stars. Seriously that Great!!

So happy was in town for their Thursday feature. The prime rib was superb, would love to have it again. Very friendly service and atmosphere. Key lime pie is a must as well.

Everything was delicious. My wife had the shrimp and crawfish omelette. She asked for it with no cheese and to substitute the tater tots for sliced tomatoes. They accommodated her request without any problems. I had the fish and chips. The fish fillet was large and thick. It was very moist and flaky and covered in a delicious beer batter. Our server was outstanding. He took great care of us without being overbearing. Will definitely come here again.

Atmosphere was great, service was great and the manager was above and beyond amazing. Watched him run around making sure everyone was happy, and supporting his staff. Then when it came to customer service, he excelled. I am from Houston but come here every two weeks for 10 years. Don’t know how I haven’t been here before but this is my new go to.

We had a reservation at 630pm on Saturday evening. We were greeted at the host stand. The female host was pleasant and welcoming. We were advised that water was shut off for the building, but the restaurant seemed to manage as we did not note any issues during our dinner experience. Our party of six was seated within 10 minutes and our server welcomed us by serving bread and butter baskets and Taking our drink order. He was very friendly and patient. Drinks were delivered promptly Along with our appetizer and our server took our main course orders. I had the sesame encrusted tuna salad with mango. The tuna was not over cooked and I enjoyed the salad. The por - boy was one of the other main courses we ordered and although looked good it was overloaded with fried shrimp and only a small amount of coleslaw and veggies… this would have been a better sandwich without all that fried wrapped in bread. Overall a good experience and friendly customer focused service. The food was fairly generic to other seafood restaurants but it is a nice place for family dinners and we did enjoy our dinner experience.

Update - Turns out all the staff is this good. Great spot in the Hill Country. Pro tip: ask for John to be your server. This man could easily work at any of the top spots downtown Austin, but you are fortunate enough he works here out in the Hill Country. Excellent seafood in a surprising location. I loved their main lobster omelet and the crab appetizer. While the price and quality are high end the vibe is laid back. Most patrons were in nice jeans with a button down / polo or sundress. The patio is ok. The wine cellar area is the most aesthetically pleasing to sit in. Come for seafood. Stay for the excellent hospitality.

Have eaten a few times at Cafe Blu and had wonderful food. Not so this time. While my friends enjoyed their meals, I ordered the Crab Mac and Cheese. It was lots of penne pasta, and a very thick white sauce, but no noticeable crab. The flavor barely tasted of crab and was not appetizing. I maybe ate 1/3 of it, and pushed it aside. The waitress never asked if there was an issue with it. Within an hour I was ill from it. I would not recommend it. Very disappointing.

Edit of 5 year old review. Used to be 5 star amazing. Not so anymore. Decent for brunch, hit or miss for late snack. Avoid for dinner. Went tonight for happy hour. Told hot appetizers half-off, mentioned on the menu, was a typo. Pic attached. Must buy at least a dozen oysters. Also not mentioned. Service was slow. Ordered the Redfish Louisiane. Took a while to come out. Cooking an irregular filet isn't easy, why I order at a seafood restaurant, not cook cheaper at home. The thin part was delicious. The thick part was raw in the middle. The server was smart enough to realize and asked if I wanted something else. This is no longer a place to send food back. Pay and don't go back. When the next generation of management moves through in a couple years, after these run it down again, I'll give it another shot.

Our waiter, Malaki was outstanding, however we were there until 9 pm and they had put all of the chairs up and then turned the lights up signalling to us to leave. So we did and won't return.
