HANDS DOWN, BEST RESTAURANT IN ORMOND AND DAYTONA BEACH!!
If you search for the best restaurant anywhere in daytona or  ormond beach, your going to get a place Italian called THE CELLAR, We have been to the cellar, being from New York ( a place known for its Italian cuisine) we were extremely disappointed. Overpriced and portions were to small. Maybe this is good Florida Italian food but if so, I feel bad for you....
NOW if you search a little harder you will find BLAU. A Nice sized place at the end of a strip mall. The place has a "hipster yuppie" feel to it, even with the waiter/waitresses who might I add really know there stuff. Our waiter Bryce knew the menu like the back of his hand. EVERYTHING down to the mayonnaise is HOME-MADE, and the portions are huge! we ordered the Blau burger, veal, chicken panini, calamari, pazette and sirloin shoulders. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. My one problem ( because everything is home made) they didn't have everything in stock, for example we ordered gnocchi but they were out and also one of the desserts but it was no big deal because with the way our meals were cooked, I can 100% guarantee everything on the menu is worth trying.
+ Big portions
+ excellent service
+ AMAZING food
+ great desserts
+ All home made
- some entrées not available
just a side note, the menu on yelp isn't updated, they no longer have the scallops.
Went last night for dinner with my wife. Â Ambiance and service from our waitress were great. Â Â So was the Ruta22 bottle of wine for $25.
I had the veal parm... Â It was above average, but not quite great. Â My wife had the Blau Burger which she thoroughly enjoyed. Â We also split the penne carbonara (as an app) and churros (as a dessert.) Â Â Â The churros were fantastic and the penne was okay (no real complaints, just not blown away either.)
I'd like to go back during happy hour and try some different things.
I cannot believe this trendy hip restaurant with food to die for has already been here 9 months and I didn't know it!? Â The small portions are not small at all and the prices are extremely reasonable. I loved my Atlantic salad (and they'll prepare it how you like) and Wild Mushroom soup. My bf devoured his crepes and calamari. He'd thought he'd ordered a pizza but forgot (but we were so full it was ok!) We just wish we'd saved room for dessert. Definitely will be back and SO THANKFUL something like this has opened in Ormond Beach. We needed these guys. I felt like I was in our hometown of Chicago or New York instead of Central Florida ;)
Review Source:Great food and service! I had the penne a la carbonara, which was a good change since no italian restaurant in the area seems to make that. Atmosphere was great as well.
I noticed they have happy hour during the week, 3 tapas for $15 and drink specials, I'll be sure to go back after work sometime.
Every member of our party of 7 enjoyed their meals! Â I had the Balsamic Glazed Salmon, which was absolutely delicious and well prepared. Â There is something for everyone on the menu and the prices are reasonable. Â We also had desserts and appetizers. Â The hummus was so tasty...I think I could just eat a bowl of it! Â Also, the atmosphere is pretty swanky. Â Give them a try!
Review Source:Just moved to this area of Ormond Beach last week and noticed this restaurant. Walked in and was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere and ambience. It has a very edgy look for Ormond Beach...
The Blau Burger was amazing! The beef was tender and juicy and the caramelized onions and mushrooms added lots of flavor. The hand cut and seasoned fries were cooked just right and delicious!
Will definitely be back
Excellent food and service. Among the best in the area. Very unique choices and varied menu with great atmosphere. The management was excellent in handling all of our issues. The only reason they get 4 stars rather than 5 is because they were out of a few of the items we wanted, granted it was a Monday and the management was very apologetic. Overall, easily in the top five restaurants in the Daytona Beach area.
Review Source:I went here for the first time over the weekend and didn't know anything about it, except that my cousins enjoyed this restaurant. Â The inside was cute and had a good ambiance to it. Â Although this place was empty, aside from one other table that was occupied. Â I would have thought it'd be more busy on a Saturday afternoon.
I had the pasta carbonara as my meal with a side caesar salad. Â I was not a fan of the caesar dressing, it was a bit bland for my taste. Â The pasta was decent, but I don't think I would order it again. Â The chicken wasn't that great and neither was the sauce. Â It was a bit too heavy for a carbonara. Â
My cousins seemed to enjoy their food though. Â One had a burger with mozarella cheese and french fries and the other had a crepe of some sort. Â Both looked good, but I did not try either. Â I don't think I will personally be going back here when I'm visiting Ormond Beach.
I have been twice since they recently opened and plan to go again. Â My wife loves the chicken milanesse that is wonderfully done. Â I had the caresses pizzette that was great. Â There 1805 merlot is my pick there for a nice red with dinner. Â I brought another family and there small kids had fun with the crayons on the table covered with paper as well. Â Nice Ambiance and a fun place to go.
