Food quality: 3 stars Ambiance: 3 stars Service: 4 stars Overall: 3.5 stars First and foremost I love sashimi. This is a trendy sushi place, take note of the name. Sushi, tapas and bar. This is a place you come for the ambiance and service not food. The edamamae was over cooked and salted. We ordered the "Sexy Snow White roll and Alaskan." The rolls were delicious and beautifully presented. Before ordering the food I looked at the color of the red tuna and thought since it didnt look as fresh, most likely because it is a Saturday night I opted for rolls without it and instead snow crab. And I should have asked if it was real crab or imitation. The rolls were delicious and beautifully presented. Big mistake! I dont know if there was mayo in the rolls because on the menu it didnt say so but I have trouble digesting mayo or maybe the crab was imitation or old but I had terrible indigestion, stomach aches and bloating after my dinner. Ive been eating sashimi and sushi since I was 7 and this is the first time Ive been to a sushi restaurant and I got sick afterwards even after eating copious amounts of pickled ginger, real ginger candy and organic ginger tea. I had indigestion so bad I couldnt fall asleep later. :( Far better fresh sushi and sashimi at my regular Hot spots: Tomo, One sushi, Nori nori, Sushi Hayakawa and Sushi Mio. :( Service is great as we were greeted, promptly seated, given just enough attention and left to enjoy and talk! I love hole in the walls (from NYC Manhattan) and Im all for going to local establishments instead of chains but I will not be returning and if so I will come back on a day when they get their fish delivered fresh.

This is by far the waste service I have ever experience, and it was from a Japanese Sushi bar of all places? We stood and waited for a little over 5 minutes before anyone tried to seat us, and that was after flagging down 2 of the works. It took them 15 minutes after seating us to come take our drink order. An addition 10 minutes before we got water on our table and then an addition 10 minutes before I got my drink and another 8 before my girlfriend got hers. Then it took 40 minutes before we got our food which was so bland it did not make up for the poor service at all. Need less to say, I wont be going back. Maybe the excellent service only apply at lunch.

I am partial to this place due to the location but their chefs and staff have sealed the deal. They are flexible with letting you switch things out in combos, ALWAYS very polite and always have extra bottles of gluten free soy sauce (girlfriend has Celiac and usually has to bring her own soy sauce). We have been over 20 times and the ONLY complaint we have is that it can sometimes get pretty noisy if there are a lot of people or a loud group.

I usually always eat sushi at Blue Grotto because the sushi is delicious and I love the environment. The service is usually quite good and the staff is very gracious. Lately, the restaurant has become quite crowded and it takes way to long to get service. I hope this problem gets fixed because I sure do love Blue Grotto and would love to become there loyal patron.

Went with my friend on a Sunday evening. Service was great however it was slow. Once the food came out really didnt mind the wait. Had the lobster bisque soup and it was fabulous. Food was fresh, flavorable an! prepared with pride and confidence. I luv tasty foods and this is a welcome find in the neighborhood. I will definitely be back.

I loved everything that I had. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We were there for my friends birthday. It was a large group of us and there were no issues. They even gave us complimentary shots to celebrate my friends birthday. Id never been here before but they definitely won me over that day. Ill surely be back!

I never get tired of going to Blue Grotto. The tapas are interesting and unique. Its a fusion restaurant and the tapas have an asian flare. The sushi is fresh and delicious. I love my waiter Chi. He is so friendly and I feel at home everytime I am there. Cozy, eclectic deco, and dimly lit...great date place.

I have dined there a couple times and it has been amazing. Blue Grotto has excellent food and great specials. Perfect ambiance for a quick dinner or intimate dining experience. The volcano roll is my favorite! Come check it out when you get a chance and say hi to, Allen, the owner, really nice guy!

This is one of my favorite places in Sandy Springs. I have not ordered anything I havent liked. Its never crowded and the service is always great. The prices are very reasonable. My favorites include the chicken quesodilla and banana tempora.

Very high quality sushi and an overall great experience. The staff there is very hospitable and its a great place to go for a date. Their crab rangoons are the best Ive ever had. Some of the best sushi in metro Atlanta hands-down.

We stopped by for Sushi on a whim and found a pearl of a restaurant. The sushi and tapas menu is diverse; we shared the Super Crunch and Spicy Tuna Rolls, both very flavorful, with large portions. Highly recommended!

Good sushi and a good menu with a selection of tapas. The daily sushi special "Sexy" was one of the better rolls offered. The tapas menu is worth checking out on a future visit.

Blue Grottos lunch specials are hard to beat. With wireless access available, it is a perfect lunchtime retreat.

Extremely slow service. After 30 minutes wait, only soy sauce showed up on the table. So sad. Never come again.
