Blue

Blue on Richmond Terrace is easily one of Staten Island's best waterfront spots. The Thai Calamari is the perfect crispy starter with a great kick, and the Pasta Carbonara is rich, authentic, and comforting. The standout, though, is the Stuffed Lobster Tail—generously filled and paired perfectly with their creamy risotto. Great vibes, attentive service, and even better food. Highly recommend!

My husband and I absolutely love Blue Restaurant. It’s one of our favorite spots on Staten Island and we always have such a great experience there. The service is amazing every time. Every waiter and bartender is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome. The GM, Jeff, is the best and you can tell he really cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. Every meal we’ve had has been delicious. We’ve also ordered the family to-go meals before and the portions are great — perfect when you want an easy dinner but still want really good food. The drinks are fantastic too. My favorite is the espresso martini, and my husband has recently gotten into their old fashioneds. They always taste great and are beautifully presented. And the view is incredible. Between the food, drink

Ever since I moved to New York, I’ve been recommended to try this place. For my birthday, we decided to go there, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Of course, you need to make reservations, so plan accordingly. Prices are obviously New York-style, so be prepared for a bit of a splurge. Now, let’s talk about the menu and drinks. The menu was diverse and exciting, and the drinks had a classic yet modern twist.

Very nice restaurant with a pretty good choice of dishes. We ordered fresh oysters, some appetizers and side dishes, plus drinks. Though we ordered half a dozen of oysters, the platters of one dozen came, which was not so bad. The only disappointment was the plate with two super small octopus tentacles. They were tender and soft, but more on a boiled side. I haven’t seen such a small plate of octopus, especially for $18. Margaritas were good. Plus we had a nice table overlooking the water.

We had a wonderful time last night celebrating our daughter's 40th birthday at Blue Restaurant. The service was outstanding. The food was fresh and delish with sizable portions. The atmosphere with the spectacular water views was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a more special occasion. We want to thank Jeff and his staff for the special attention and ease in making preparations. Our daughter said it was exactly as she had imagined. We highly recommend having your next celebration at Blue restaurant.
