Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Blue Velvet from around the web.
"The wall that divides the lounge from the dining room is made of several layers of pale MDF (medium density fiberboard) cut with oval holes, the holes and layers overlapping so it resembles a slice of Swiss cheese on legs. At the entrance, an egg shape cu..."
"The girls (Dre, Erin, Nancy) and I perused the list, but nothing really appealed to us except the Fuji-Ricky, which sounded delightful and sweet but not syrupy. Even though I think I’m over pear vodkas now since it seems like everyone is doing somet..."
"Contemporary American Cuisine represented by dishes such as Crispy Yogurt with Spinach Almond Puree; Thai Snapper Sashimi with Gaufrette Potato; Alaskan Halibut with Fresh Chickpeas & Golden Beet Puree; Phyllo Crusted Lamb Loin with Cipolline Onions & Mus..."

"The yellowtail is sushi quality, served raw with sumptuous, marinated Japanese eggplant, shimeji mushrooms and blood orange segments, another wonderful combination of tastes...."
"The Brown Room seats up to 50 for modern American cuisine like roasted quail and a mean short rib dip. The Blue Lounge features a sunken 17-foot granite communal table designed to spark conversation among strangers ("Try my smoked eel?..."
