What People Are Saying About Blue Martini

In Short – Sleek tables and curving bars sweep around an elevated stage that features live music nightly. Although best known for the more than 20 varieties of 10-ounce martinis (presented with a stainless-steel shaker containing the rest of your cocktail), the joint also offers more casual libations like beer and wine. An extensive tapas menu includes seared tuna in a sesame-seaweed salad and chilled beef tenderloin medallions with horseradish sauce.

Chic and a good time
by EricDewhirst
There should be more bars like the Blue Martini - had such a great time. We did not have to wait too long to get in and once in it was not over crowded at all. Service was prompt and all amenities were clean and elegant.
- Pros: Elegant design and great staff
- Cons: none

Disappointed
by Salsberi
My first experience at Blue Martini was great. Was with a guy friend and we had great table service, great ambience, band, drinks, etc. I went back on a friday w/ a girlfriend and had really poor service. We sat outside at the bar and waited 30 mins to be served. We were sitting right beside where she made drinks. We gave her the benefit of the doubt that she was really busy (she WAS the only bartendar outside during happy hour). However, things got progressively worse. People would be served 2 rounds of drinks before she would even turn to us. Getting her attention was useless. Even the guys around us didn't understand why were being ignored. They started ordering for us, b/c she obviously had an issue. I'm normally all about girl bartendars b/c I am one! But, I couldn't believe how bad the service was. I chose not to complain, b/c I thought she was swamped, however it didn't improve when another bartendar was added. I don't know if it had to do w/ us being 2 girls' or what, but I have no desire to go back there now. If I do it wll I will make sure to sit at a table or at least have a guy w/ me since that's what they seem to cater to. Unfortunately, she missed out on a great tipper......
- Pros: outdoor patio, easy parking, ambience, clean, good martinis, some good waitresses
- Cons: bartendar service poor...
