"Owned by Zach Erdem and led by James Beard award-winning chef Mark Militello, Blu Mar offers Mediterranean plates that impressed me with starters such as Brussels sprouts with figs, grapes, walnuts and yogurt, a pizza with goat cheese, local mushrooms and shaved black truffle, and slow-roasted spicy Tuscan ribs; entrees include sea scallops with corn salsa, sumac and Jerusalem artichoke, and a filet mignon stuffed with garlic in a red wine gorgonzola sauce." - Beth Landman
