on Citysearch Jan 10, 2009Truly a let down. Staff was unfriendly and cold, food was average at best. I do not know why they are so busy becuase no one really cares that you are there and absolutely no one cares if you do not enjoy your meal even when... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 28, 2008Went here 5 years ago for a first date and had been excited to go because I had heard wonderful things about this place. The food was not good back then and has not improved as of my visit last night, either. I am a fan of... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 05, 2008Don't believe the hype. Fine dining is about outstanding service, and sophisticated contrasting flavors with interesting textures; there should be a "Wow!" moment during the meal. The food at Blue Ginger was... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2008APPERTIZERS Shiitake-Leek Springrolls with Three Chile Dipping Sauce were ok. A little on the salty side. Ming?s Tea-Smoked Salmon & Beef Carpaccio with Fresh Wasabi Emulsion was delicious. Hawaiian Bigeye... (more)

on Citysearch May 11, 2008Now that the restaurant is virtually twice its original size (as of 5/10/08), the restaurant will undoubtedly be noisier. However, most of the new space is located in the bar area and private dining areas. When I went... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 13, 2006I've been going to the restaurant for at least 5 years, and everytime I go, I always end up with the same food. The shitake leek spring rolls are very good. The menu lacks much in the way of vegetarian food though. I always... (more)
