    This is a spectacullar, but understated restaurant. The food is exceptional, the waitstaff are warm and friendly, the decor is interesting and the overall vibe is relaxing. We LOVE eating here. Get a reservation-it is small and usually full up for very good reason.

    Blue Nile is a lovely restaurant! Delicious food, thoughtful decor, clean, and the service was excellent. It felt like we had come to dinner at a friends house with a warm welcome and comforting space, with beautiful art on display and calming colors. We can’t wait to go back!!
