    First time here....Attended a large networking event this evening, great service! A lot of drinks, and great conversation. A bit loud, but all in all a wonderful environment. Everyone was raving about the flat bread pizza. It looked wonderful.... (I'm gluten free, so.... None for me). I will be back, as the service was top notch!

    After the most miserable experience 2 years ago at this restaurant by both waitstaff and management, we decided to try again since we do love The Blue Martini in Ft Lauderdale. The management must have changed because this was more of what we have come to expect from the chain. Our waitress Jenee never let our glasses go empty, the food was great and the 4 of us left happy, full and in a good mood. What a difference! I would still like to test them with a bigger party (last time was 8), but this visit was close to perfect.

    Yep, never coming here again. They take themselves very seriously for being a mall bar. Bad, bad customer service. I have honestly never met someone who had an all-out good experience here.

    We used BM as a spring board toward our Capital Grille dinner.  The outdoor seating was avail. for us to put two of their small tables together for our party of six. This location was perfect for watching the parking lot from a high point advantage. (no pun intended)  

    The martinis are 1/2 price during happy hour that I believe goes till 8:00pm so my Skinny Raspberry Mojito was only $6.25. (Do the crazy math for after 8:00pm $$).
    The drink was pretty good looking and tasty with lots of limes and mint leaves  served in a brandy sniffer. Didn't really taste any raspberry tho.  Guess it really isn't a martini is it?
    Cucumber Martini @ $7.25 was still a good bargain as their was enough in the mini shaker left at the table for a refill.

    The St. Louis Spinach Dip was good - you know it's blue chips with spinach dip. Nothing earthshaking  but good for $6.00 and keeping everyones hands busy.

    Our server Brooke was on our case and kept us in good shape. Nothing slow or aloof about  the service.

    I did see one of the " past your prime coming attraction"  fingered in an earlier post. Creepy potential is pretty accurate. Yep- judging the duck by his feathers, feet and beak. (what else is needed?)

    Leaving Capital Grille we had to pass by the BM  and the place was rocking LOUD and lots of high energy. - The last thing this shiny headed  passer-by needed.

    Lounges are  just not my scene - Thankgod!

    Lol Dress code on a Sunday afternoon? Calm down. You're a mall martini shop. Probably the last time I try to give this place a chance.

    Bad bartenders, terrible dancers, and cougars galore. This spot is definitely designed for those who think a little too highly of themselves. Allow me to list the types you will encounter:

    1. Groups of girls who think they are too beautiful to waste time with normal conversation; they are waiting for the millionaire Greek god who only exists in their wet dreams
    2. The 40-somethings who think they look 20-something and really look 50-something
    3. An occasional 60-something squeezed into 20-something outfits...barf
    4. Cougars on the prowl and usually face down in someone's crotch in the parking lot around closing time
    5. Young d-bags looking for a fight
    6. Over-dressed bouncers who are personal trainers at the local gyms hitting on all the girls and occasionally harassing someone for standing in the wrong spot just to give the appearance they are actually working for their $10 / hr
    7. Gorgeous bartenders who make stiff drinks in lieu of good ones; who spend more time flirting and handing out free drinks to friends

    The place actually tries to double as a restaurant, more so during the day, but the food is not even worth commenting on considering there are much better restaurants literally yards away. The place is generally empty during the day.

    Ill just say it speaks volumes when, in addition to your bouncer staff, you have to also hire cops to stand out front during the evening when the place becomes a night club. Its not uncommon to see them placing the shackles on rowdy customers as well.

    If you are a flashy dresser, with an expensive car, and fat wallet you might find yourself finding some parking lot love here. But I would not suggest taking someone special to this pretentious affair.

    Meh.....

    Decided to stop by before hitting the malls since they have happy hour until 8 pm. Vibe of the place seems pretty cool, however, they customer service skills need some improvement. We sat there for maybe 10 or so minutes... No one approached us asking to take our orders. We had to approach the bartenders at the bar to send a waitress our way... it's true what all the other Yelpers say... Cougar town and unexperienced bartenders/waitresses. Definitely a place for an older crowd...

    The atmosphere was ok, but the craziest people were regulars. I had to stop going for fear of picking up stalkers.

    A friend suggested we check this spot out on our getaway to Orlando. It was Latin night and I really had a great time. The people came out to party and have a good time. The couples dancing allover the place was amazing to watch. I also had my first hookah experience here. Drinks were well price and service was timely for such a crowded night.

    Fantastic place!  Go there for the Happy hour!  Great drinks, great prices and great food.  Service and decor is as good as it gets.
    Just an overall great place.

    Blue Martini is hit or miss for me. Sometimes it's a fun young crowd and sometimes it's old dudes and cougars. I do like that you should be dressy and it's up scale.

    The food is good. Service is ok.  It's a trek for me so...there's gotta be something special going on to hike down there.

    But if you're in the area...might as well check it out.

    Swankiness to the max!

    Meh. Not sure the hype surrounding this place from my coworkers equated with the food. We ordered the crab & shrimp dip as an appetizer to sort of dip our feet in the food they had to offer. It was just OK. Then we had the vesuvius cake for dessert. Glad we shared it because it was incredibly rich...almost too rich. Also, I know it's a martini bar, but why not have some beer on tap and not just bottled?!

    Came here a little while back when my cousin and his girlfriend came into town. I will say that it's very nice on the outside and inside. Love the liquor bottle display and the whole layout. The drinks can be pricey but you get what you pay for and usually your bartender will over pour. The DJ did an amazing job and the music was great, as well as the mash-ups.
         the downside, the place gets CROWDED. I usually go on a weeknight mainly because of this reason. It gets to the point where you can't move and that's never enjoyable. Also, almost all of the bartenders are assholes. Very rude and just unpleasant.

    Always have been a fan of Blue Martini.  Very trendy upscale Martini/sports bar.  Staff has always been friendly and many great themed nights.  Prices are a little higher than most other bars/lounges but thats ok, keeps the riff/raff away!
    Would highly recommend Blue Martini.

    The one thing I liked about Blue Martini was the music.  We went on a Saturday night for a Little Black Dress event and they had a live band for the majority of the night, I believe called "Blonde Ambition"? and they were great.  They did awesome mash ups and had everyone dancing.  When the DJ came on, it seemed to get a little repetitive and heard a lot of songs more than once.

    The space is fairly large, but it gets really crowded and hard to move around or dance as it gets later in the night.  The drinks are overpriced and the bartenders are extremely unfriendly and rude.  We had the backs of our chairs turned to the bar for probably at least an hour 1/2 if not 2 hours and then a bartender told us we needed to turn them around and she was very rude about it, so we turned them and after that incident, we tried to get a glass of water from the bartneder and we asked three times and she said "ok" every time but we never received the glass of water.  We then tried to order a liqour drink and she completely ignored us the rest of the evening so we just left.

    Also, the crowd of people that go here is very different and not the best for 20 somethings, unless you're looking for someone older....

    I don't plan on going back here.

    I had a horrible experience at this bar! I was in Orlando visiting a friend and she said that the Blue Martini was one of the few upscale bars in Orlando (You have my condolences, Orlando peeps.). We got dressed up and headed out for a few martinis and a bite to eat. What we encountered when we arrived made me want to laugh. There was a red carpet (This is not a Hollywood premiere), a traditionally considered "hot chick" in a tiny dress at the hostess stand and tables full of men who looked at me and my friend as if we're nothing more than walking vaginas and mouths. I was ready to run to the car before we were even seated.

    Our hostess took our names and then gave us membership cards. Yeah um okay. This somehow added us to some elite vagina, er I mean ladies, list. We checked out the inside and decided to sit in the patio area. Years of living in Boston has made me excited for weather that's nice enough for patio seating. We looked over the ridiculously large menu (seriously, they need to cut that menu in half) while we waited for our waitress. We chose our drinks and waited for the waitress. And waited, and waited. I asked several bus boys and other waitresses to fetch our waitress and had no luck. In total we waited close to 30 minutes. We didn't even have water. The only reason we stayed was because we had nibblys from the sushi bar.

    I eventually went to the hostess stand to demand a waitress. Finally some airhead in a tiny dress showed up at our table. We ordered our drinks, but the waitress couldn't seem to understand what I wanted. It's a very simple order: vodka martini made with Chopin vodka, a vermouth rinse, and one olive. It took me explaining this to her several times before I told her to just write it down and give the ticket to the bartender. Apparently ordering a drink that isn't on the menu is too difficult for the incompetent waitstaff to handle. Amazing how a martini bar can't make one of the original martinis.

    During this process a creepy man with a cigarette sat down at the table next to us. I'm asthmatic and my friend is a non-smoker so we were less than happy about this. All of the cities I've lived in having smoking bans so this added another frustrating element. This man was also on the make. He tried to talk to us several times and we ignored him. He eventually moved.

    15-20 minutes later the airhead, I mean waitress, brought our drinks. At this point we said "fuck it!" and gave her our cards for our free drinks and told her we would not be ordering anything else. We gulped down our cocktails and got the hell out of there.

    If the Blue Martini is the finest bar in Orlando then I want to cry for the residents of the city.

    Service has been getting worse and worse.  I feel like I'm constantly waiting for something.

    The crowd is old, and if you happen to run upon someone younger, it's super likely they are a douche.

    This place is not worth it anymore.

    Okay, so here's my take. I haven't been here in years and now I remember why. First - who requires a crazy cover charge when there is no band? Why would anyone pay at all to hear a DJ? And about that DJ - completely weak music choices. Bad (and I mean truly bad) 80's and 90's music. Not fun at all. The crowd was old - and I don't just mean in physical age. The attitudes were terrible and geriatric to be polite about it. Now let's talk about the cost ... other than the ridiculous cover charge I already mentioned, the drink prices are barely tolerable. Honestly I'm only giving it two stars because I'd feel guilty giving it what it actually earned.

    If you are into a "mature" crowd and like to overpay for cover and for drinks while listening to terrible music, this is the place for you. Otherwise there are a multitude of venues in Orlando that would fall on my list of places to frequent before Blue Martini. If I ever go back, I'm sure it will be another several years. Hopefully that will give them enough time to get it right.

    Meh says it all with this place. I get what they are trying to do here, and I give them credit for it. Frankly though, if I'm going to spend the money on those drinks in this place, I resent having to pay a cover for it. For anyone who knows me however, I have issues with cover charges. That might have been ok when we were under 21, but come on, asking me to pay for the privilege of drinking decidedly average drinks at your establishment? That dog don't hunt monsignor.

    I'm half tempted to go one and a half stars, because honestly, It's overpriced, and trendy, and the clientele didn't impress me much.  I suppose you can't really knock the business for the clientele they attract; but at the same time, just because I don't wear an tshirt with Armani flashed garishly across my chest doesn't mean my money isn't worth the same amount.  There are certainly a ton of dude-bros here, and really annoying women who label look, and that just knocks off stars in my opinion because they have a tendency to ruin my night.

    I will give them props because the manager came over and bought me a drink for my Kilt and blazer ensemble., and a bouncer was kind enough to remove someone when they made a comment about me being a f*g for wearing a kilt, before I could "educate" him on his ignorance. (This goes again to the dude-bros and douche baggery that shows up there)  But really, the staff is pretty nice, and the mojito they made me was spot on. No sprite, no extra crap. Just the way it should be made. The bartender, bless me for forgetting her name, took one of my martini recipes I came up with during my bartending years and made it as well as I did. I was more than happy to write down the recipe afterwards.  

    Not bad for a night out, but honestly, avoidable thanks to the clientele.

    Take a hint from Colleen and Ashley K's reviews - be prepared for it.

    There are times, for instance, when the band is fun, the music is good, the people are interesting, and the night is fun.

    But keep in mind the guarantees: the drinks are expensive, the crowd is cliche (in age and in attitude), the bartending is slow (whether the bartenders' fault or not), the dancefloor is small, and the atmosphere is..for lack of a better word...douchebagish.

    Go with a group, and go with no expectations, or don't go at all.

    I agree with Ashley K, "It takes a certain type of person to frequent this venue." I have been a handful of times and I have to say, each experience is different but there is always a snooty overlay each time.  Not sure if that is the ambiance, the older crowd or the staff... haven't nailed that on the head yet.

    The drinks are strong, therefore, eh... not so much enjoyable, this is far from a mixologist's territory. However, happy hour everyday with Half Off All Beverages from 4 - 8pm - not a bad deal.

    The food is pretty decent, light dishes to snack on while shooting the vodka.

    I stopped in for Hospitality night, and I am not a member of the Hospitality industry.

    I managed to avoid the $10 cover, thank god (more on this later)

    Many of the other guys reviews are pretty accurate.

    I think the guy to girl ratio was a good 6 to 1, and many of these guys were older, fat, balding middle aged men who desperately tried looked like they belonged there, it was a pretty awkward mix.

    Lots of the girls were attractive in their slutted up club outfits, but they looked out of place as the were trying to convince everyone and themselves that they were having a good time with the old fat bald guys I just mentioned.  I think they were just hoping for dollar signs.

    Anyway, lots of the girls were fake fake fake.  I'm not a fan of places where the people act like they are someone important of the women think they can be rude and have attitudes just because they have implants, and this place fit into that category.

    Guys, if you are going on a Monday night, take a girl with you, good luck finding one there with all the other competition (or lack there of,  but its still 6-1 ratio)

    A Corona was $6 ... just FYI

    I probably will not be going back on a Monday night.

    Happy Hour from 4-8 daily!  Half off everything!

    Their fruit and cheese plate is enormous and delicious!  I also recommend their flatbreads!

    I love gin and they have a new gin martini which is awesome!  Being the lightweight that I am, I was beyond tipsy after just one.

    Great food, great music, great company!  

    I am also pretty sure that they only hire attractive waiters and bartenders.  Not complaining, one bit!

    As the night progresses, you notice that every hour on the hour the crowd gets younger and younger.  I still show up for the happy hour deals and don't mind watching some seasoned adults dancing.  And besides, where else am I going to get a quick buzz before enduring the mall?!

    I came on a monday for Hospitality night,  No cover half off drinks after 11.

    It was slow to start with a good live band but minimal people. By 11pm the place was packed, drinks were flowing, and the DJ was spinning.  The waitresses are in blue outfits so its easy to spot them, but getting their attention once the place is packed is difficult.

    The music was good, the drinks were strong with a super creative drink menu.  Yes its a bit pricey but its an upscale club in Orlando.

    What more could you want?  

    PS, the food isnt good and its expensive. Stick to the drinks.

    Um, it's a bar.  It's crowded, and there is music.  The accommodations are nice enough--I love the outside bar area as a reprieve.  

    The promotions like, "little black dress party," breast cancer pink parties, and drawings for bags and jewlery is certain to draw a crowd.  

    The lines can be long.  I had friends who waited over an hour to get in and as a result missed out on the black dress promotion no cover charge for women. . .

    I do not understand "Wheel of Fortune" playing in the midst of it all. . . but I suppose there are still fans of the show.

    I'm not real crazy about the music, but that's just me, and honestly, it's too crowded to dance, you just bounce up and down basically.

    I think I'm more of a lounge person than a bar person, honestly.  Watching drunk people dance always provides some entertainment value, but I think for me, BM is just ok.

    I mean, whatevs. . .I just don't get this one.  I would much rather go to Stardust.

    I don't even know where to start with the Blue Martini. If you want to pay $5 or $6 for a bottled beer at a mall, then more power to you. If you think their mixed drinks are worth $12, then great (and they are pretty good)....but if you don't want to argue about prices when you leave, the prices that you agreed upon when you sat down, then please go somewhere else.

    After noticing that they charged us full price (5 to 6$) for a bottled beer, even though they said almost everything was 1/2 price all day Sunday, they were kind enough to take a few dollars off our bill once we said something. Nice view of a mall parking lot while we waited.

    So, long story short, go somewhere else. M&S has good food, and Crave and TGIF have much better prices for drinks.

    First time I ever went there we never got served, so we just left. I was thinking that was a fluke, but no.....
    Although now that I've experienced it  perhaps that was for the best.

    It takes a certain type of person to frequent this venue.  If you're of the female persuasion, you'd fit in perfectly if you're a cougar or just slightly past your prime.  If you're a dude, you'd blend in well if you're affluent, creepy, or cougar hunting.  

    PROS:
    - GREAT martini selection (try the almond joy, the skinny bitch, or the signature Blue Martini) AND they're big enough to be considered two martinis
    - pretty good food
    - servers/bartenders in corsets (if you're into that)
    - half off martinis for ladies (ladies night, holla!)
    - Checking in here unlocks the "animal house" badge on foursquare (I'm a geek and I love that app!)

    CONS:
    - Creepy clientele (do you seriously need to grab my arm when I walk by you, guy old enough to be my dad?)
    - Cover charge
    - Dress code enforced
    - Expensive martinis and food
    - music is sometimes loud and obnoxious
    - slower service if you don't fit a certain criteria (wealthy, older, etc)

    Don't get me wrong, I usually enjoy myself here but it definitely takes a certain mindset to step foot inside.

    Blue Martini used to be the go-to-bar for people who lived in Southwest Orlando. Then it turned into cougar town, and then it turned into a bunch of unexperienced bartenders. The martinis are expensive, the food quality went downhill and the clientèle became a bunch of douches.
    You wont find me coming back here anytime soon. Not even to meet a friend for a drink.

    this place is soooo close to getting 5 stars. It is uber high class. it is for rich snobs or gold diggers. My kind of people.  the place is at mall of millenia, and I feel like I am in miami beach near south beach. The night to go is MONDAY! I dont know why but this is the only really happening night there.  The ladies are smoking hot and and the djs are good. and everything is sooo flipping expensive. Just like MIami lol.  

    So you might ask me, "How can a poor piece of crap like you afford blue martini?" well my friends I pre drink and bring a flask thats how.  But when I do have money to blow as lil wayne so sings. I get the mojitos. They are sooo damn good.

    Just be careful cause last time I went I passed out in the parking lot between a mercedes and a Lexus, Then I woke up to a security guard kicking me in the leg to wake up and leave. It was a sight to be seen right out of a southbeach postcard, lol

    Fancy smancy place to enjoy a dirty flirthy martini with stuffed olives while hearing booty shakin music or a nice jazz band depending on what time you get there.

    Blue martini is an excuse to dress up because the place and people seem very trendy and upscale... However those strong martinis do end up leaving alot of incomers smashed. I am giving it four stars because the scenery is marvelous on the patio... all the lighting in this place gives it a mellow, hip effect. The second star is because this is the perfect excuse to dress up for no reason on days that you have been looking like sh1t all week. Third star is because if you go early you might be lucky enough to hear a nice soothing band which in conclusion it connects to my fourth star which is you get to wash it all down with a phemonimal martini.

    The minus star is because the crowd is a if/if crowd...the type that you can say it's better if some of these people weren't around. Been here plenty of times and always come across those type of people that dance so bad that they jump all over peoples feet. Or that recently divorced lady who is so desperate that she downs 5 martinis and creates a scene. A dramatic, extremist, over the edge, twisted fancy crowd still cannot stop me from giving my yummylicious martini spot 4 stars...blah.

    One of my favorite bars in Orlando! Had my 25th and 26th birthday here because of it being such a great venue to celebrate.  Yes it is more of an upscale bar, but that is not all the time during the week. Below is a run down of the themes for each night - the ones that I think are the ones not to miss:

    Mondays: Hospitality Blue Mondays - more casual relaxed atmosphere with live music. Usually rock bands doing their own music and cover songs.  Used to go on Mondays all the time around 8pm, and then would stay later on after 12 for the DJ to start with Top 40 and Dance Music.

    Wednesday: Ladies Night - Ladies receive a complimentary Three Olives Vodka. Pretty busy, great crowd to network. Local radio station XL106.7 hosts.

    Thursday: Noches Azul - An upscale Latin Night featuring Salsa-Merengue bands, DJ Ossy, dancers and performers. A good mix to your weekly activities if you want to do something different than the usual bar experience.

    Weekends are busy and Blue Martini always has a huge crowd, but Saturdays are 80's focused, and the music flows through the night, remembering all the classics.

    In all Blue Martini is a blast, great martinis, go for the Grape Crush, Mango Madness, or Pomegrante. Great small dishes of food to satisfy your hunger.

    I attempted to attend this venue a while back, (let me first say that I have been to upscale and high end night clubs in Las Vegas, LA, Orlando) and since this Blue Martini is located at the Mall of Millenia and has an Orange Julius within 200 feet, I went to the club in some snazzy jeans, cute shirt and flip flops.

    When I approached the bouncer he informed me that flip flops were not accepted due to their dress code and that I could not attend.  I then informed the bouncer that when your building is connected to a mall with a food court and an Orange Julius that they loose their right to have a strict dress code.  He then reaffirmed that I would not be admitted.  I assured him that as a gay man I was not after any of the ''high quality'' tail in there, and that I just wanted to chill with friends.

    He told me to come back with shoes on.  I then informed him I would not be coming back.

    Long story short, don't visit a night club connected to a mall!

    I went to the Blue Martini during a business trip to Orlando a few months ago.  This is a very trendy place with snooty people showing off they're bling. Scantily dressed cocktail waitresses that will rub up to you if you're a big spender.  

    Although our group was well taken care of, I was disappointed by the waitresses neglect for the other patrons.  Just because we were ordering Louis XIII does not mean the guy next to me who just wanted a Martini had to wait longer than usual to get his drink.  It just shows she was working for a big tip.  Well after she rubbed up several times she did not get a dime from me.  I even pointed out to her, that if she had taken care of the guy next to me then she would have gotten a tip.  

    Not the ideal place to get a good Martini...

    There seem to be a lot of low stars going towards this place. But I have to disagree. I LOVE THIS PLACE! I try to go every Wednesday for Ladies Night. I usually go with my girlfriends and it really is a great time! The martinis are "cheap" for Blue Martini on Ladies Night ($7!!! They are usually $12+ on normal nights/days!). They may be expensive, but they are worth it! They are good and strong! I highly recommend the Good Life Martini (Red Bull, Vodka, Splash of Cranberry)! It almost tastes like a watermelon. I also love the Red Apple Martini and the Bellini! (Yes...I have tried the majority of them! NOT ALL PURCHASED FOR MYSELF! Took a few tastes of all of my friends' drinks too).

    Not only do I love the drinks, but the atmosphere is GREAT. I love how during the day it can be a chill hang out and then at night it turns into a swanky ultra-lounge. The dress code is fashionable club wear, closed toed shoes for guys...basically nothing too scrubby (the typical run of ultra-lounges and upscale nightclubs). Girls usually wear cute dresses and heels or nice jeans and cute tops. I wore jeans once, though, and almost felt under dressed. So, I always wear a dress now when I go. Guys wear jeans and collared shirts with closed toed shoes. Gentlemen, beware of the bouncer at the front if you have on flip flops. He shows no mercy for the flip flops (no matter how cute he is...). Granted, this is for the night wear...during the day...typical daytime attire goes.

    The bands here are hit or miss...but I usually go later at night. So, by the time I get there it is on to Top 40, rap, r&b, and house music. The crowd is very mixed here. You have everything from the young 21 and ups to the older women and men. This place is known to have a few cougars...watch out gentlemen! But ladies, there are some "bobcats" (gentlemen cougars) AS WELL! It really is an eclectic mix! But, everyone is just there to have a great time! So it works!

    I love the bartenders here, as well as the bouncers! They are all really nice and I have even become friends with a few of them! It's pretty sad when I don't even have to show my ID to the bouncer at the front any more, really, because they know me by face! Maybe it's just the red hair that gives it away ;)!

    1 star for the strong drinks, and 1 star for serving alcohol period. No stars for everything else :p

    First off, a meat market in the middle of a mall - seriously awesome on a hilarious level. Our friend had to bribe the door man to get in because he had "inappropriate footwear." Way, way too crowded to dance or do anything useful. Plenty of sleazy meat market types. Strong drinks indeed, but that's about the only appeal of this place. :p

    This place is just awful. My friends and I showed up on a Sunday afternoon. After almost an hour and a half, we left after consuming a drink we didn't really order and only 1/3 of our food order delivered to the table.  It was fairly busy, but not anything that would justify the service we got. I'm going to write this play by play,  just because I like time frames...

    4:30 The three of us sit down.
    4:40 A waitress comes up and let us know that she is not our server, but someone will be with us shortly.
    4:50 Our waitress comes and takes our order:
             Friend 1: I'll have a coke and a pepperoni pizza
             Me: Do you have real Bellini's? Not the martini Bellini, but the one with Peach puree and champagne/sparkling wine?
             Waitress: Yes
             Me: OK, I'll have a Bellini and the seared Tuna
             Friend 2: I'll have a red Apple Martini and the Caprese Salad
             Waitress: What salad?
             Friend 2: Caprese
             Waitress: Capri?
             Friend 2: Caprese
             Waitress: OOOHH, ok (Mind you, we've ordered 2 things that don't require much cooking if at all and a pizza that requires cooking)

    5:05 Drinks come. My drink is not a Bellini, but the Bellini martini with peach puree added. It's ok, it tastes fine.
    5:15 Friend 1 gets his pizza. We don't get our food. Friend 1 starts eating with no napkins or silverware.
    5:35 Us: "can we get silverware?"  
            Waitress: "What for???"
            Us:"Our food..."
    5:36 Silverware comes.
            Us:"Is our food coming?"
            Waitress: "OH GOD!!"
    5:50 Waitress: "So I'll be honest, this is my first day alone and  there was a mix-up about your food. I can get it for you on the fly if you tell me what you got again"

    OK, at this point, it's clear she never put our order in. Somewhere between the conversation about the salad and the computer, she forgot we had ordered anything.  I understand it's her first day alone, but really, she probably needs another day of training.  We've been here more than hour and I'm DYING of hunger. What happens is we decide not to eat there anymore, the manager comes, rolls his eyes at us and mumbles "I'll take care of it" and never comes back. Great management. So we leave, hungry and sad.

    Their drinks are a bit pricey though one martini does the work of two shots - they're pretty strong, the mango one is tasty. The last time I went the band sounded good but I don't know if it was the singer who mumbled or if he just didn't know the song lyrics - this guy was awful.

    It's a small place which gets overcrowded. Yes, you'll find a lot of much older men/ladies mixed in with the younger crowd.

    Been here twice now and I'm still feeling it out. I give it a mild 3 out of five just because I like the drinks.

    The parking at Millenia Mall is a bit of a pain as well.

    UPDATE ON 09/2008

    Went there this past Friday night. The usual band which plays there absolutely sucks. The lead singer murmurs and looks wasted. The service girls, if you don't wish to drink, give you the evil eye each time they come by - very childish.

    I seriously will not endure this place again.

    Blue Martini offers a huge variety of martinis and alcoholic beverages...  Try the Almond Joy martini if you like sweet drinks.  Demographically speaking, Blue Martini caters to rich & perverted older gentlemen and gold digging college girls...  I'm surprised that more divorce lawyers and private investigators aren't here snapping photos of husbands cheating on their wives.  

    Basically, a glorified Designer "Meat Market" where Oscar Mayer is OUT...  and Oscar de la Renta & Silicone are IN.

    Monstrously fake boobs and Cougars on the prowl your thing?  Then Blue Martini is your place to be!

    Personally, I dig this place.  When I'm feeling like laughing at middle aged women squeezed into outfits made for 19 year olds, or old men hitting on ladies who are probably younger than their own kids from their first (2nd and 3rd) marriages, then I head to Blue Martini.

    Martinis are overpriced and the bands are "eh".  There used to be an amazing band there on weekend, but I have no idea as to where they've moved on.

    They have a "VIP" section and velvet ropes and all that, so if you're wanting to drop some $$$ and look like a big wig, then by all means, do so here, however, after living in Miami for so long and seeing the *real* big spenders at South Beach clubs, this is just a little on the lame side.
