The Blu Halo St Pete – Exceptional Dining Experience with Creative Cuisine and Cozy Ambiance

I was thrilled to find a this place and I know it will be a a go to favorite from now on. The atmosphere was so unique, with a bright blue baby grand piano and a circular bar. I’ve tried dinner and brunch the next day. The dishes were delicious and the service was spot on. The manager, Andy, stopped by to check on us too, which was a nice touch. There is outdoor patio seating and plenty of free parking.

Fantastic new restaurant! Great atmosphere with live music on a Saturday night. Noise level was very mild and pleasant. Emily gave us great service! Smokey old fashioned was wonderful to sip on throughout the night. Meatball Pomodoro appetizer was my favorite of the night, but the filet, watermelon salad, creole shrimp Mac, and Brussels sprouts were all top notch. Bursting with flavor and well prepared. Finished off the night with a monstrous carrot cake which was fantastic! Definitely would return, especially for them having only soft opened!

Was absolutely delicious . We were pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t expecting anything this nice so close to home . Usually we have to go downtown for stuff like this . The food was amazing . My only problem was the chicken from the Nashville how Milanese was a little salty . The meatball pomodor was the absolute star of the night though . My wife had hot pastrami was good as well . Amazing decor and ambiance . Our server V was very attentive and recommended the olive oil cake . I didn’t think I was gonna like it but was an amazing end to our lunch .

Came here for brunch on two Saturdays in a row. I was quite surprised at how there was hardly anyone here on both visits, given its location surrounded by hundreds of high-rise apartments. Lots of convenient parking. We were able to park right out front both visits. So far I've tried the chicken and waffle (the menu has it pluralized but it's indeed a single large waffle), as well as the country benedict. The chicken and waffle is my favorite so far. The maple bacon bourbon glaze as well as the gravy are the perfect accompanyment to a perfectly cooked chicken and waffle. So much flavor in one dish! As for the country benedict, it was OK but the potatoes were just so underwhelming. So much efforts goes into the country benedict and the potatoes to me just take it down a few notches. It's like from freezer to deep fryer potatoes. Home-made potatoes would really up the game of this dish and others. Coctails are great. Gotta love $4 Mimosas (on special). Now let's talk about the incredible desserts they offer. Specifically, the carrot cake. This quadruple layered piece of heaven will leave you breathless. This is one of the best slices of carrot cake I've ever had. It's also the largest slice of carrot cake I've ever had, and at a very reasonable price! WOW. Just WOW. Even if you're not a fan of carrot cake, this one slice of heaven will make you a fan. I had to ask our server where this thing of beauty was crafted. I couldn't believe it when she told me that it's all made in house. I would've bet money this was crafted at a very high end bakery somewhere. Kudos to the dessert chef(s). This is truly a work of art! Definitely a place worth checking out. You won't be disappointed.

Another amazing new restaurant addition to this area of town! We tried a ton of things on the menu including the steak and grouper main dishes, scallops and shrimp appetizers, mac and cheese and potatoes side dishes and the spinach salad and were BLOWN AWAY by all of it. Cooked perfectly and very delicious. The cocktails were spot on (the espresso martini and florida heat margarita were 10/10) and service was outstanding. We will definitely be back for another delicious dinner soon!

I cleared my whole plate! I enjoyed a Tender, well- flavored grouper. Delicious mushroom risotto and uniquely prepared asparagus. The raspberry mousse was a great end to the meal. Not too sweet and a subtle hint of raspberry. Plus the service was great!

The food here is honestly amazing. I went in not really knowing what to expect but pretty much everything we had was phenomenal. The cocktails were also really good, especially the smoked old fashioned and the lavender martini. The ribeye was so good especially with the 3 cheese smashed potatoes! Our server, Anthony, was also amazing and very friendly!

Still within the first week of being open, Only more good things to come as they grow! Had a good time, food and service! Had the appetizer "just the tip" which It says fillet tips, So I was thinking it would be actually filet steak cut up into smaller pieces. And it came out pot roast- ish. Not what I thought, but still very good!!!!! And we also ordered the stuffed chicken, which I took a bite out of and that was also very good! Plenty of other things to come back and try at another time. They have special martinis to order. Located In Carillon parkway, easy access to walk to from the apartments, But if you drive plenty of parking spots reserved for customers only. Check it out.
