My wife and I visited the Tidewater area over the weekend and we were looking for a good seafood restaurant. After looking at all the restaurants, I came across Blue and it was not rated the #1 spot and not sure why because it was...awesome and will now be our go-to seafood restaurant whenever we visit the area. To sum it all up, everything was amazing here. More details below.
The other restaurants offered a wide variety of food but only three or four seafood dishes and mostly Salmon. Blue offered an entire menu of seafood and it was delicious. We sat down and got our drinks and then we were given a Shrimp Canape instead of the traditional bread. It was sooooo good. I got some crab soup which was loaded with meat not skimping. My wife got fried green tomatoes topped with pimento cheese. I'm not a fan of pimento cheese but these were awesome. The flavor combination was impeccable. Then we ordered and got the flounder with vegetables. My wife got it fried while I picked broiled. While we were waiting, a second hors d'oeuvres came out which were these small, sweet potato biscuit drops. Soft and delicious as they were served with apricot butter. Our food came out and the fried had just enough batter that it didn't overpower the food. It was real light. We finished off with a chocolate bread pudding, which was good but not the best that I have had.
Mckenzie was our waitress, and she was awesome. She knew all the specials and was able to give great suggestions. Her personality was awesome too. Patty was the hostess and night manager, and she also was really great. She walked around and took the time to talk. She helped out the staff when they started to get busy but still had time to talk to everyone. As said, this will definitely be a must stop every time we visit the area.More
