Everything was perfect. As a Greek I am very picky on what Greek restaurants I recommend but our first experience was top notch. Very happy with service, appetizers, meals and even desserts. Highly recommend!

If you’re in Sarasota and haven’t been to Blu Kouzina at UTC yet… RUN, don’t walk. From the moment we walked in, everything was top tier—the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, all of it. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with so much care. You can tell this isn’t just another restaurant—it’s an experience. What really made the night stand out though was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be there, which makes such a difference. And the best part? One of the owners, John, was there with his wife and little girl, personally interacting with guests. He was so warm, personable, and involved—you can truly feel how much pride he takes in the restaurant, and it absolutely shows in every detail. This is the kind of place you go once and immediately start planning your next visit. 10/10 recommend.

Great new restaurant. Nicely decorated. Nice bar. Fried artichoke appetizer was good. Lamb shank was delicious and the grouper was good as well. Service was great. A little pricey but worth it.

Enjoyed dinner here with 24 women on a Wednesday night. We were sat at 2 long tables by the outdoors so it was nice to dine in while having open outdoor space next to us. They offer HH but I didn't get a chance to see the menu other than it's from 3-6. We were given filtered tap water in bottles on our tables & rolls with a great olive oil dipping sauce. The rolls were terrible & not worth the carbs. Wish they would have served pita instead. They offer specials which were quite high in price & on their regular menu, they have a great variety of salads, apps, wraps, & entrees. I opted for the classic Greek salad. It was good. My friend got the roast chicken entree & absolutely loved it. The meat fell off the bone easily. Other women by me really enjoyed the chicken wrap, steak wrap, & spanakopita. I walked by someone enjoying what looked like a lamb shank & it looked great! However, those astronomical prices for the entree's prevented me from ordering them. Service was fantastic & the atmosphere is beautiful! Go check it out!

I recently visited Blu Kouzina, a new Greek spot near UTC, and overall it was a really great experience. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight—this place is stunning. The interior is beautifully designed, modern, and feels very upscale. It’s one of those restaurants where you walk in and immediately feel like you’re somewhere special. I’d give it a 4 out of 5 for now. The food was good, but I think the menu could use a bit of tweaking—mainly when it comes to ingredient balance and portion sizes. Nothing major, just small refinements that would really elevate the dishes. Overall, it’s a lovely place, and I truly think with a little time, it has all the potential to become a 5 out of 5 spot. Definitely worth checking out!
