5 /5 Katherine M: Blue Gill - Sleek Ambiance and Standout Food Options
​Blue Gill offers a truly excellent dining experience, pairing a stylish atmosphere with top-notch food and service. The ambiance is definitely a highlight—its modern and sleek. While we dined indoors, we noticed they also offer outdoor seating, which is a wonderful option to have. And while we arent drinkers, the upscale bar area added a polished, elevated feel to the whole restaurant.
​The Appetizer and Mains
​We started with the Gulf Shrimp Cocktail, and it immediately set a high bar for the meal. The shrimp were very large and cooked absolutely perfectly, and the cocktail sauce was just as good as youd find anywhere.
​For the main course, my husband ordered the Salmon. It was served beautifully with risotto and green beans and carrots, and topped with a savory butter sauce. The dish was extremely savory and delicious—I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting.
​I had the Shrimp Poboy, which was way better than expected. The key was the bread, which was soft and didnt overpower the delicious blackened shrimp and toppings. I also swapped the traditional chips for a side salad, which was a great choice; the Caesar base was elevated with pickled onions that added a bright, pleasant "twang" to the greens. I would happily get this dish again.
​Exceptional Service and Policy Note
​The quality of our service was exceptional, thanks to our server, Hannah. She was extremely friendly, professional, and patient, taking the time to answer all of our questions about the menu. We truly appreciated the level of detail and care she provided.
​As a final note, the restaurant does add a 12% fee to all bills. We felt this transparency likely contributes to the service being above par compared to other places. However, we did not feel this replaced the tip, and we gladly tipped Hannah additionally due to the overall quality of the service and our excellent experience.
