"Good food, great atmosphere, and great service. We ate here the other night and ordered the steak tacos with the ahi tuna as an appetizer, and several cocktails. The food was fantastic and the drinks were tasty. Everything came out of the kitchen in timely fashion and our server Lauren was great. She was always right there when our water needed refilled or the plates needed cleared for the next course. Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a laid back roof top restaurant with great food, good views, and good service."

"Such a beautiful view! We got the best table and got the perfect time for sunset. The food and drinks were delightful, we had the tacos with Mexican street corn soup! The staff was so nice and they made sure we enjoyed our time:)"

"Great way to end the night. Server was excellent and the view was sublime. The food was decent. I had flank steak tacos. They had a great flavor but unfortunately they got very soggy quickly. A taco stand would have done wonders. My wife had the salmon and it was solid. The old fashioned was strong but the cosmo was underwhelming (although I am very picky about cocktails)."

"Roof top bar on the bay and they don’t gouge you. Wings are excellent comes with a craft draft for $15. Music on Monday by John & Madeleine couldn’t make it any better while the sun sets over Old Mission. I am torn about posting this because I would rather keep this under the radar, but you have to call out great places. Second visit and service excellent both times."

"This was by far our favorite restaurant on our vacation! The view was incredible from the outdoor terrace. It was very quiet and peaceful up there. There was a bit of a wait for the food but it was all made fresh and it was actually nice to wait a little and just enjoy the beautiful view of the water. I believe our waitress stated she had only been there a short time, but I would have never guessed it because she did such a great job! She refilled my drink at least 5 times and was very attentive to us. We ordered a steak, flatbread, appetizers, a side, and 2 alcoholic drinks and our dinner was only $70 which I feel was very reasonable for the incredible experience that we had. The manager came to check on us as well and was very kind. The food was phenomenal and so were the drinks! The establishment was very elegant and spotless. We would love to eat here again."

"Top notch location with a water view outside on the terrace. They could serve spam here and you'd be happy. The view was fantastic, the food (albeit very limited menu) was good, and the service attentive and friendly, also leisurely but you don't mind that with the view."

"Amazing venue, enjoy awesome food and drinks while overlooking the GTB. The Spring pea & radish salad, bread and butter, and mushroom asparagus flatbread appetizers were really good, as well as the craft cocktails! Blush does have a limited menu, however it’s definitely worth a visit."

"Went another time and had an amazing time with great service. Tom was very involved and warm with our group making it a great experience. Tonight I cannot say the same. Showed up at around 840 to watch the sunset. Stood up front for a few minutes before finally seating ourselves at table 7. Waited for about 10 minutes to get service but nobody came and I finally went over to the front again and asked a young lady if i could grab a menu and order two drinks and told her our table. About another 10 minutes later the waitress brought our drinks and when we went to order we were told it was 902 and the kitchen was shut down at 9. Unfortunately the young lady said literally said "I should have told you that when you ordered your drinks" lol... god bless her. Rather than get upset we enjoyed our drink and our sunset and simply went elsewhere to get food. A bit disappointed to say the least though."
