The Take
Blu Gin Restaurant & Lounge earns a 58 slop score. Order the steak or fresh seafood with simple sides during happy hour for the ocean view and 2-for-1 cocktails.
Live music and former Playboy history pull in the crowd, but the menu stays standard beach fare with burgers, pasta, and seafood. Hookah and full bar tilt the vibe toward lounge slop.
The Verdict
Hit happy hour 6-8pm for drink deals before the lounge crowd arrives, then stick to steak or seafood. The 58 slop score reflects solid basics dragged down by hookah and standard execution.
Skip hookah sessions or heavy cocktail rounds. Buy the view and happy hour specials, order the based steak option, and leave the haze behind.
