Blu Ocean Grille Restaurant inside Encore at Tradition

I am disappointed that this place did not live up to my expectations. It is very close to my home, so it would be so convenient to go there frequently. However, 1) The menu was extremely limited. 2) I ordered a black bean burger that was mostly rice. I’ve never seen such a thing and I’ve been eating black bean burgers for over 30 years. It actually did taste good, but it was mostly rice. It didn’t hold together. It was mostly rice. And did I say it was mostly rice? The restaurant was noisy and tiny. Only 9-1/2 tables. Nine tables for 4 and one that you could squeeze 2 people into. The bar seating was nice. The drink I had was plain liquor on ice. Pricey, but at least it was a nice pour. That didn’t redeem the experience, though. On the bright side, the service was very good and the, I assume, manager checked on us as well as our server. That service was the best part of the experience.

The drinks were not great. We usually drink Long Island iced tea. The service was good The shrimp were delicious, but I did not like the lobster bisque. The place was clean and the atmosphere was nice

I've eaten here twice before and had nice meals. I ordered the fish and chips today and it looked like they took Gorton's fish sticks dipped them in a batter and deep fried them. Tasted like it too.

Nice place. Wasn't busy. Loved the fish and chips. Alright menu items and tasty. Our waitress was nice but then we had someone else wait on our table. We were a little confused but nice dinner.

Excellent evening! Our server Ali was superb! She cheerfully gave great recommendations for food. The ahi tuna was just wonderful! Perfectly cooked, with pickled ginger, wasabi cream and fried rice and veggie side. Cosmo was the best I’ve had in a long while. The head chef Mirasol visited to ask how we liked our food. Wow! Above and beyond!

Visiting from out of town and wanted to say that this place was a 10 out of 10. Had the pork chop with au gratin potatoes and Caesar salad… Flavor was excellent served very hot… My wife had the fish and chips, nice and flaky and tender, and we started with calamari, which was excellent as well. I also want to compliment the service young lady we had Melina I believe was incredible… Definitely would go back if I’m in the area.

My wife and I tried this restaurant based on a recommendation of a friend. After finding it tucked away in the clubhouse of an over 55 rental complex, we sat outside for happy hour. Our waitress, Tricia, was the best. She explained all the menus, regular, happy hour and tiki bar! She told us she usually works the tiki bar but due to a staffing she was working the tables. She made several suggestions and they all turned out wonderful. We will definitely add this to our happy hour list.
