Blu Grotto in Oceanport [NJ]

Went back tonight after a too long hiatus. Everything remains the same beautiful environment it’s always been, walked in 6:30pm no reservations table for 2, no problem.

Service excellent as usual but the food is “different”. There has definitely been a chef change at some point.

Cesare salad was good however slightly over dressed. Kudos for the anchovies buried under the extra cheese I requested.

My pork chop was larger than I remember but the peppers and onions were “different “ and way too salty.

The wife got the halibut and liked it but again the butternut squash purée it was served over was……meh.

Desert was chocolate espresso cake with a gelato and cherries. It was good.

Great to be back I do really like this place hope it was just an off night.
