I was charged extra for ordering broccoli with my meal instead of pasta. I never paid extra before, and the waitress never mentioned that it would cost extra when I ordered.

February 17, 2019
it took quite a long time to get our food. Usually that is because they want you to buy a lot of alcoholic drinks first, but had water and coffee.

Time being waited on and food delivery was pretty good tonight.

Have been here several times. Restaurant is quite dated, but always clean and nicely decorated for the various holidays throughout the year. We particularly enjoy the beautiful fireplace on cold evenings. We dined here recently on a cold Thursday winter a few days before Christmas. Disappointed to find that the fireplace, which we had told our friends about, was not in use. We were told that it is only used on Fri, Sat, and Sun. The restaurant was packed. A warm fire would have been nice, since the room was on the chilly side. Although disappointed about that, our dinners were all quite good and the service was excellent.

There were only a handful of people... Waited 90 minutes for our meal... We were there last month and the place was pretty hopping and we didn't wait that long... Not sure if they were short staffed or what.. although our waitress Amy was great...and apologetic for the wait. . Food was good.
June 2, 2018

We rediscovered Blu Tavern after several years (for a birthday celebration)--the service was friendly and accommodating, food delicious and prepared well, and drink selection was great. I chose "1 time per year" above because we'll be back again sooner than later.
November 25, 2017
Good food and good service at a good price
November 22, 2017
Just love the appetizers--chicken lettuce wraps, gyoza, spring rolls. My husband loves the mango shrimp and I have gotten the teriyaki steak which has fresh veggies with it.
November 12, 2017
Deliscious
November 4, 2017
The food is ALWAYS fresh and well prepared. The chief's will carefully take note of how you wish your meats to be done and will have you try a small piece so you'll know if it's how you like it or if it needs more cooking time. Overall, friendly staff and caring service
November 3, 2017
Always excellent food and service in a cozy atmosphere.

Mi chelle always gives personal attention to usand is a great server
October 25, 2017
When we were first seated and received our menus the waitress did not give us not even 2 minutes of looking at the menu before asking us what did we want to order in a rudely manner. When we told her we needed a couple minutes she stood there making us very uncomfortable. When we ordered our food she asked us what did we want to drink we got our drinks and never got a refill. The food had no flavor whatsoever it was very bland and when the checks were given to us the waitress had asked for her tip before we were done paying making our experience very akward and again uncomfortable.
October 15, 2017
Service was very slow. We waited 30 minutes to get our first drink! It was not very crowded! It took one hour and 30 minutes for our meal to arrive. We were very close to leaving. It was also EXTREMELY loud in the dining room, which wasn’t the fault of the restaurant.
September 28, 2017
Service could have been better. But the food was excellent
September 24, 2017
Service was fine, but when I did not eat any of my chicken, the server never inquired as to why.
September 23, 2017
Food was outstanding!

Food was burned over cooked lots of salt
July 15, 2017
People were nice. The only thing I would say is, they forget my second dish, and I ended up cancelling it because it took too long.
July 10, 2017
they added the tip to the bill and it was too much, i like to let the tip my self, food was 102.00 and tip was 22.00, not happy

June 14, 2017
It was a little noisier than I would like but it was "happy noise"- a birthday party for a brother and sister. Didn't really bother me as it reminded me of my own large family. Otherwise I would say excellent

Wine selection is very limited Sashimi should not include cooked items such as octopus
May 4, 2017
Waiter was unfriendly. If it wasn't for the happy cook the rating would have been poor. The waiter was not helpful at all only when the bill came and he reminded me of the original price (which he included the tax) for his tip. Would NEVER go there again or recommend. Was not worth my 25 dollar coupon to try it out.

Service and food were very good. Only downside was the wait time. Granted we did have a large party of 11,but waiting almost 90 minutes was a bit too long. Especially since we had several children in our group.
August 17, 2016
The food was very good and our waitress was exceptional. They have a huge menu so everyone was able to choose something they really liked. We will definitely be going back again soon!

The food was amazing. the Blu pasta is to die for! the people were incredibly friendly. the place was clean. we are going back often! This is seriously one of the best places in Schuylkill county!
October 19, 2015
The food was great and the waitress was very pleasant. The restaurant was very crowded and it took a while to get our food and the waitress was busy and didn't get to do drink refills. So if you want good food and a nice waitress, this restaurant is great! Just plan a little extra time.

Crab was our theme this trip. I had the broiled Maryland Crab cakes they were fill with jumbo lump crab meat and tasty light filling I enjoyed them. My Beau and his Mom both had Deviled Crab cakes and they were very creamy and had good flavor, not overly spiced and fried in clean oil. They provided a good portion.

This normally excellent restaurant just missed the mark today, with very stale bread, and a $1 upcharge for choosing blue cheese dressing, and without any notice in advance that there would be any upcharge

Lobster ravioli special was out of this world! Loved it.
December 19, 2014
All i can say is get the price FIRST for surf n turf. The filet was 28 which was listed but surf n turf with same filet was extra 25.00!!!!!! for 5oz lobster tail..was told market price but i looked it up and maine lobster tail for 4-5 oz was 7.00. I did not expect that..
November 8, 2014
this restaurant needs a few more waiters. It took close to an hour to get any food (bread and butter). My friend said service is always very slow. I went up to the hostess and told her to tell our waitress we were ready to order after waiting for 15minutes. she did come within 5 minutes.
October 29, 2014
high quality of food
October 20, 2014
Our greeter was pleasant and we were seated right away. The waitress was absolutely the best. She smiled kept us with drinks and enjoyed some laughter with us. AWESOME!!

July 27, 2013
Arrived at 5 pm to a fairly empty dining room. Although we had a large party we did not order food that would have been difficult. It took over an hour and fifteen (1:15) to come out. All the waitress kept asking was if we wanted more drinks. The manger won't even do anything to compensate us for our LONG wait
July 13, 2013
The decor couild use a little 'updating' but overall the atmosphere is very nice. Much bigger than you would think. The food is very good and priced reasonably. They have everything from homemade pizza to surf and turf.

November 6, 2012
Updated menu prices are preferred. Crock of onion soup and bowl of soup were listed at $4.95 but we were charged $5.95 each. Just a suggestion...
November 4, 2012
Food was excellent but service was slow
October 21, 2012
The specials, stuffed salmon and crab cakes, were great!
October 16, 2012
Great food. Great prices, Beer is cold. and nice friendly wait staff. Go if you get the chance.
October 16, 2012
The food was moving slowly from the kitchen...Not sure why we were a party of 6 and did not order elaborate items so not sure why it took so long...perhaps a bad night
October 14, 2012
Food was really good and our waitress Tristin was very attentive and cared about our food.
July 7, 2012
I always enjoy dinner at the Blu
June 27, 2012
Older place that is a bit dated but the food more than makes up for it!
June 24, 2012
One of our favorite restaurants for many, many years
June 9, 2012
They were short on servers and half the tables were reserved for 2 large parties. Three parties that came in after me had to stand and wait for a dirty table to be cleared for them.
May 14, 2012
We were very pleased with our meals, and our waitress was extremely attentive. We've gone to the Sunday Buffet and it our favorite.
May 8, 2012
They order my meal 3 times. wasnt cooked to my preference and waited over 1 hr for my meal without explaining why the wait. WILL NEVER go there again
April 13, 2012
It was nice to be able to enjoy our meal and be served but not overly interrupted to see how the service was. Our waitress really knew how to serve with "class."
March 29, 2012
the evening was very nice. the food was good to verygood. No problems! will return
March 25, 2012

March 23, 2012
One of our favorite restaurants.
March 11, 2012
Poor service , high prices, food only fair. Would not mind paying the price if I felt the food was worth it.
March 9, 2012
This normally great restaurant suffered a bit on this trip and the service was fair at best
March 4, 2012
Out dated decor and the atmosphere is not warm and inviting
March 4, 2012
Loved the experience.
March 3, 2012
Food took a very long time to come out, but it was good and also hot and the waitress apologized for the wait.
March 1, 2012
We both said it was the best meal we have had in a very long time! The interior was nice but the sign outside needs upgrade and repair. If I were driving by looking for a nice place to eat, I would not have stopped because of the ugly sign. I would have been so wrong.
January 14, 2012
We've been going to the Blu Tavern on and off for 40 yrs. We've always had good meals there!
January 7, 2012
Always a great place to eat.
December 30, 2011

December 5, 2011
my FAVORITE place to eat - so glad they participate!!!!! makes the experience even better!!
November 7, 2011
Restaurant unprepared to handle large crowd - had to wait 35 minutes for server to take our order. Two tables of two each who entered after us were waited on and served before our order was taken. Once given, though, service was good. Food was very good. I doubt we will return in the near future because of our experience.
November 4, 2011
Service was slow, food was Ok, pricey for quality

I have been dining at Massari's Blu Tavern for many years. My parents took me there when I was a child. I always receive excellent service. My favorite dish is the Anit Pasta Salad. There are many other excellent choices but I always lean to the salad. I will continue to patronize this establishment.
