Just got back from dinner at Blau. Still earned a spot on my (very) short list for go-tos in Ormond. Calamari again is top-notch - lightly fried, three nice dipping sauces, lots of tentacle pieces (a "plus" for me, at least, as I think they're the tastiest part). The saganaki cheese app is as good as always. My wife's Tuna... More

I'm perplexed by all of the stellar reviews. I went for lunch with my daughter and husband and we all ordered a salad, mine was a Greek salad - just OK. Riddled with raw diced red onions! Dressing was less than average. Next up, the caprese pizzete. Not bad but just OK. We decided we would not return, our bill... More

Several of our friends had recommended Blau to us but we had not yet visited. We had lunch there today and were extremely pleased. Everything we ordered was extremely fresh, delicious and well presented (the Mediterranean salad was wonderful). We initially thought the prices were a little on the high end but now think they were well worth it. We... More

I've reviewed Blau before, but thought I'd come back and share our ongoing experience: We eat here now probably once every 1-2 weeks. We've tried most items on their menu, and have had only one disappointment (a "special" fish dish that missed the mark) Saganaki and Calamari appetizers are especially good. Pastas are super (having leftover bowties with salmon tonight!).... More

We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Ormond's hidden treasure, Blau. The strip mall location is quickly forgotten once you enter into the sophisticated and relaxing atmosphere. Our server, Steven, recommended the garlic bisque soup which was outstanding. He also spontaneously delivered some of the best bread I've ever eaten. The serano ham pizzette was delicious as well. Prices remain below... More

The atmosphere of the restaurant is amazing. It is a place where you can spend hours enjoying food and friends without noticing the time. The presentation is impeccable! The taste is something that is rare to find nowadays! It is made from scratch with Fresh ingredients, and it is not pricy. it is a most go! Save space for dessert,... More

Not really. We heard great things. We REALLY wanted to like this place. Sadly, hopes contradicted observations. Go only if someone else is footing the bill.
