C minus

The food was very bland, and the service was snooty. The price for two was not at all a good value. Would not go back.

Becoming a B Movie

The place has become a dealers hangout, yet very spendy. It has lost the good food touch.

Yelp.com Review - by Elissa D.

5.0 of 5 stars. Everything; drinks, food, atmosphere, music, service. It's all fantastic. Do yourself a favor and try their specialty bellini. The seafood is always excellent, as is the wine list. Great place to…

fabulous service, fabulous food.

Definitely one of the top 3 restaurants I have ever been to. The service was probably the best service I had ever had, very helpful but not to overbearing. The scallop appetizer was beyond amazing. You must...

Yummy!

We arrived early so we had a few drinks first...the cocktail was perfect. Oh, and free valet parking...I didn't believe it. The goose liver for an appetizer was probably the best thing I've ever eaten, sorry I...

Blue Hour or snob hour?

Blue Hour is a great place to go if you want to be surrounded by a bunch of VIP snobbs and want-to-be's. The food is over-rated and priced, the wine list is overly obscure and the service is not up to par at...

House of the snobs.

If you feel like paying to be surrounded by people that think the world revolves around them be my guest. I dont know how so many people think that they are cool because they have the money to buy a fifty...

wonderful food in a beautiful elegant space

I've been enjoying Bluehour for years now and it just keeps getting better, even though I thought it perfect before. Constantly striving for perfection leads to a wonderful innovative menu and seamless...

I will NEVER go again. My friends and I were out on the town for dinner and drinks and were mistreated by a highly arrogant and condescending floor manager over corked champagne. An intelligent fellow would...

So-so food in a beautiful space

I visited Bluehour for the first time. My friend and I went for happy hour and sat in the bar. First impression was that the space itself was very well done: trendy was the first word that sprang to mind....

Great food

We had brunch there last weekend-took parents from out of town. I had always wanted to try it and am glad I did! The place was packed but we got a table right away and the service was very attentive. I got the...

Tough call, trendy, food is average

Definitely place to be seen. Its more about the scene, then food. From a guys aspect, if you want to impress, this is the place to impress. Scene, drinks, atmosphere. Now for food, its so so. Presentation was...

Disappointing

My husband and I had not been out in 4 months and were looking for a romantic place to have a nice dinner. Blue Hour was highly recommended to us by friends. Unfortunately for $157 for 2 of us, our overall...

Happy Hour, I'll Be Back

So there's this chick, right. We're in love, and we haven't seen each other in years. We go to a great concert, Toronto's Deadly Snakes at the Towne Lounge. We end up, ahem, going back to my place. In the...

Perfect Sunday

They even provide the Sunday New York Times. and even though I stick with the classics, like the Benedict, the pancakes and the pastries I've tried are great. I'll be back to try lunch and dinner. Nice servers...

You've Got to be Kidding! $62 for 1 person?

Ok - how incredibly disappointing. Went to Bluehour with friends, went for the food not the scene and let me tell you the scene is the only reason to go. I had an average martini, a small green salad, a...

Super Blue

We haven't dined at Blue Hour often, only three times in the past year, but when we have the food has ranged from extremely good to flatout exciting. We've had very happy Happy Hours (with our pooches on the...
