blu — Restaurant in Biloxi

4.5

Back in 2018 I came down to Mississippi to meet someone I met online through his YouTube channel. Then I came down again to look at houses to buy and move. During the second trip I stayed at the Treasure Bay Casino and Hotel. It's not a good hotel. BUT... at the top, is a hidden gem, and easily my favorite place to get a steak. It's not SUPER EXPENSIVE, but it is APPROPRIATELY expensive. It's a fancier dining experience.

The one HUGE NEGATIVE is that there aren't many regular tables, so instead you have to sit in these weird semi-circle booths. Reminds me of cocktail lounge scenes in older movies. Which would be fine, but there isn't a stage to be seen.

Food wise, I love their steaks, and everything else I've tried there has been great. Especially their desserts. Alone, I think it was about $50 with a 12 oz Prime cut, two drinks and a dessert. I don't consider that to be expensive for that level of a restaurant. I think with my three friends, it was around $150, maybe less. WHICH I think is great. So I would say this is HIGHLY well priced.

There was no offer to be seated and we were unable to ask server regarding seating because they would not even stop long enough for us to ask seating procedure for establishment. We would have seated ourselves but there were no empty tables in sight. We even called ahead of time to see if they were busy and if we needed to make reservations. Just feel staff should be more attentive and welcoming to customers entering...

My appetizer was underwhelming and my initial entree was undercooked as well as under seasoned. The bartender, was great. Without asking she could tell my food was under cooked and said she can send it back to be remade or switch it out for something else. The Chimichurri steak was amazing! It was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Also, the drinks were very effective and...
