Blu Ember

I picked Blu Ember at the Westin LGA simply because it was convenient before our flight—but it ended up being one of the best pre-airport meals I’ve ever had. Everything exceeded expectations: the food, the service, and the ambiance. We ordered a mix of dishes and every single one was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the burrata with heirloom tomatoes was bright and delicious, and the toro/uni bites with caviar were a true standout. Our entrées—from the seafood to the steak—were cooked perfectly and tasted even better than they looked. Service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. For a restaurant this close to the airport, the atmosphere is surprisingly upscale and relaxing—perfect for a calm meal before flying out. Whether you’re staying nearby or just want a great dining experience before heading to LGA, Blu Ember is absolutely worth it. I’d come back even if I wasn’t flying.

Blu Ember was a good experience. We went for my daughter's birthday 🎂. The service was outstanding. The food was amazing. The burgers was juicy and delicious. My mom had the seafood medley and the french onion soup and she didnt have anything left. My daughter had pasta and sushi and was delicious. Please go and support this place delicious.

Great experience overall, smaller space than expected which becomes loud when the table next to you is drunk and borderline screaming. Atmosphere was great aside from that. I wish we visited on a calmer night or that the staff was able to do something for us. Otherwise, the place was classy and dimly lit. The food was quite delightful. Portion sizes were perfect for us but there was way too much ice in the drinks.

The ambiance is undeniably appealing, making it a suitable choice for dates or special occasions. Among restaurants in Flushing, this type of refined and elegant interior is relatively uncommon. Service is attentive, with staff offering thoughtful recommendations and guidance throughout the meal. The food itself, however, is fairly average. After multiple courses, none stood out in particular. The dry-aged T-bone steak was especially underwhelming, lacking depth of flavor and slightly overcooked, resulting in a tougher texture. The plates used to serve the steak also felt impractical, as they cooled too quickly and were not ideal for maintaining temperature. In comparison, the ribeye was noticeably better, with more consistent execution and a stronger sense of value. If the visit is primarily for the atmosphere, the restaurant is worth considering. If the focus is on the food alone, the experience may vary depending on personal taste.

Had higher expectations for this place. The food wasn’t that good. The spot is cute it’s located in the hotel. The service was friendly. For starters I had the Kumamoto oysters, toro caviar Monaka, tuna crispy rice, salmon hand roll, waygu hand roll. I didn’t like the oysters it had a really weird after taste and I’m a big raw oyster fan. The toro and crispy rice were underwhelming. The hand rolls were probably the best thing out of all the appetizers. You can’t go wrong with salmon hand rolls haha. but I will say their prime ribeye was really good. It was juicy I liked it. So definitely recommend that! Overall not a bad date night spot !
