Reviewed By The_Italian_Reviewer
Went there for dinner and the hibachi table experience was below average. The table was not shining and clean as they are in other places, it had some remains of previous dinner food on the border. The chef cooked our medium-rare steak so much it was actually very-well done. The wine selection is limited and the Cabernet they had was pretty bad. Not impressed.

Visited Blue with my 15-year old son, for lunch. Our server (Brian?) at first seemed like one of those servers from the 1990's who would pull up a chair and talk to you (and which everybody found kinda irritating). But he didn't pull up a chair, and he delivered "just enough" information about the menu to get us looking in the right direction. He had a pitch for first-timers, and he had some suggestions of things he liked, and he was honest about it, that it was just his favorites. I tried 'em. He was right.Anyway the decor was very nice. My son called it "hipster". I thought "modern", "clean", and vaguely "Japanese". Great location, we parked right out front (at a meter), and the place was perfect ... music, temperature, etc.But the REAL STAR OF THE SHOW was the food. We started with Coconut Crab Soup and ... get this ... Mango Crab Rangoon. The soup promised a delicious bisque kinda thing AND DELIVERED. My kid and I had two spoons, one bowl. Even he liked it, and I think he's just developing his adventuresome palate. We ordered Crab Rangoon to see if SOMEONE, anyone, could make this better than every other carryout Chinese joint in town. OMG. Yes. They. Did.Now, the Sushi is the star of the show ... and I'm going to skip the details except to say THESE. GUYS. KNOW. FISH. Their preparation and presentation was very Japanese--clean, fresh, precise, elegant. Maybe or maybe not the best sushi I've ever, ever had? But it was right up there. LOADS better than most of the other so-called "Sushi" restaurants around.Now, I said "finally good sushi in our corner of the West Shore". I would like to acknowledge a very good sushi house, Ohashi, at the corner of Lorain and Columbia in North Olmsted. This is a proper, Japanese-owned, trained sushi-chef, sushi restaurant. I just consider them to be too far away (not my corner of the West Shore). I also give a nod to Pearl of the Orient, who make very good workaday sushi and sashimi, just not the level of artistry as Blue.You should know that Blue is a small chain, but that they are taking this very seriously. They've even sent some of their people to Japan and other places for training. I think as such, they are able to be in a position to do enough business to afford their high-rent digs at Westlake's Crocker Park.If you like sushi, or anything vaguely Japanese, YOU SHOULD GO. Try it. I think only a snob who has spent time in Japan (or in some parts of California) would not think Blue is just AWESOME!!!

Tried Ohashi for the first time. Found the food to be excellent. And the service was very very nice. People were friendly. Paid attention to you. And will overwhelmingly willing to please. We were there for dinner, however they are open for lunch and have several lunch specials. The prices were very reasonable. We will definitely go again. So if Sushi and Japanese Cuisine is your thing you want to try Ohashi.
