Blue at the Topaz PERMANENTLY CLOSED

We went with our family and this was our first time at Blue at the Topaz. Compliments to the chef, Gary. The dishes were well presented, and scrumptious. Our dinner party had the roasted duck, salmon with Wasabi sauce, and shrimp with pomodoro sauce. For desert one of our party members had the strawberry, mango cobbler that was delicious. The ambiance was perfect overlooking the ocean. We will definitely be returning.

Visited Blue for a small dinner, Birthday Party on 5/31/08 with the family. We have dined at this restaurant previously. Food was superb as usual, service was outstanding and everyone had a great time. The chef visited our table to make sure everything was prepared to our satisfaction, something that does not happen in most other restaurants. I highly recommend Blue Topaz, especially for special occasions or to entertain visitors from out of town. The view across from the ocean is breathtaking. Our waitress, Brandi was outstanding. Thank you.

We had dinner at Blue recently and had a great evening. The atmosphere was warm and interesting, the food delicious, and our server very professional. She took very good care of us. We were seated in the rear room as we were a party of 6 and the ambience was exquisite. We dined leisurely, and all our entrees were expertly prepared with great imagination. Blue is an asset to the community and a far cry better than anything St. Augustine has in the same price range. Bravo!

Spent some time in the Palm Coast area this weekend and this was the best restaurant we ate at. Food was excellent, service very professional and the prices very reasonable. We wished we could take Blue home with us.

We have found that Blue is a treasured oasis on our travels up and down the Florida coast. We stop by every chance we get! I love the choices on the menu, and their daily offerings are just as tempting and tasty. Every meal we've had has been really great! I have to agree in part with some of the other reviews that have commented on the length of time it takes to get your food. We have experienced that as well, but it's hard to complain when you get to sit and look out at the ocean, usually with a nice breeze. We enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and good food. Hope you will too!

I ate at Blue over the weekend and loved it! We visited for a late dinner and was seated immediately outside. The menu is very broad and we had trouble deciding what to order. I had the Mahi Mahi and my wife ordered the rib eye and we both loved our selections. Our server was good and we're very happy we found Blue. We'll be regulars!

I visited with my wife on recommendation of other on here and we were totally impressed. We chose to sit outside. It was dark so we had no view, but it was to be in the fresh air sea air. We shared the baked brie as an appetizer which was very good and for main courses, I chose the Ahi Tuna and my wife had dish with scallops. Both meals were superb! The service was excellent and the prices very reasonable for this type of quality food. I highly recommend Blue to anyone wanting a gourmet meal at great prices.

We think Blue is one of the best restaurants in Flagler Beach. The interior of the restaurant isn't great but sitting on the outside deck gives you a great view of the ocean. We usually go for lunch when prices are more reasonable than for supper; however, the food, whether it's lunch or supper has always been wonderful. We usually visit with 2-4 others in our party and no one has ever been disappointed. Their fish tacos are the best and the scallop salad is wonderful. Oh, and let's not forget their burgers! Service has always been attentive and the presentation is beautiful.

We were in Flagler Beach for the last 2 weeks of December and I wish we had discovered Blue at the Topaz before our last day of holidays, because we probably would have eaten there every single day! Not one complaint! Food=perfect Service=perfect Prices=perfect Ambiance=perfect Portion Size=perfect. I don't think i'll ever forget your Fish Sandwich - I think I'll crave it every day for months!!! Thanks guys - it might be years but we will be back :)

Blue offers a great view with good food and service. I wasn't fond of the seating and found it a little uncomfortable to eat at, but it was fine for a quick lunch. My sandwich was very good and the steak style fries were excellent. My husband really enjoyed the bisque.

Wow! Great food. The soup was fabulous. Don't know who has the better soup... Golden Lion or Blue. Keep up the good work. Delicious food.

A good effort is made by Blue but I feel it falls short. It is not the high end establishment many believe. It is a restaurant inside a cheap seaside hotel but it does have an nice charm about it and historical artifacts make it quite interesting, however, it also expects you to eat from rickety resin chairs in a humid dining area. Service during our visit was friendly albeit slow. The menu is appealing and the food was reasonably well prepared but its flavor didn't quite deliver what the menu promised. The bisque was good but when offered fresh black pepper by the gentleman that bought it, he proceeded to produce the pepper grinder tucked in the back of his dirty pair of black pants which was highly unappetizing. Prices were too high for what we received.

I really liked the food- the black bean tequila lime soup was phenomenal! The service was a bit slow, but the ambiance was nice and the view was great so I didn't really notice it. The lobby was interesting- slightly creepy but it is worth a look. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

This was probably the nicest restaurant we visited during our stay in Palm Coast. And, it's part of a very unique hotel with quite an atmosphere of antiques. You must check the lobby area out while you're there.

The dining experience was just ok. It appears to be an upscale restaurant atmosphere wise but the service was not too good and the food wasn't great either.

Our salads came out in a fairly reasonable amount of time. But the rest of the dinner took way too long and our server had a little bit of an "attitude". He acted like it was no big deal that it was taking so long. And, when we ordered, any request we had that were a "bit" different than what it showed on the menu seemed to be asking for a lot.

I actually ordered just a bowl of soup which was good (the black bean) and the lobster salad. The salad was drenched in dressing and it was the mixed green lettuce so it was really soggy. I didn't realize they put the dressing directly on the salad, didn't sound like it in the description. The lobster tail was nothing to write home about. They threw on a few avocado pieces and that was it. Just sounded more fancy on the menu :-( Not impressed.

The kid's were starved and my daughter was not happy with her grilled cheese after the long wait (they used some kind of fancy cheese). She ended up eating everyone else's rice.

Everyone else seemed ok with their meals. There were no "wow" or "oooo's" about them. If the service wasn't so slow it may have been average to good...but since the service wasn't too good I have to rate this restaurant Below Average.

The food here was phenomenal. The service was a little slow and they weren't great about being accommodating while we waited for a table (they were packed at 6:30 pm on a Sunday) but the food was DELICIOUS! I had the pan-seared scallops and I purposely asked the waiter how many I would be getting and he told me they usually serve 5 scallops with that meal. Well, I only received 3, but it was plenty of food and they were delicious. My boyfriend got the Hawaiian Ribeye Steak and it was AMAZING! He was concerned that it might not be a great cut of meat, but he was very pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend their food, but maybe not their service.

We have been to Blue a couple times before and had a good meal with good service; so we went back last weekend for my husband's birthday dinner. Not so good. Our drinks and appetizer came quickly and the appetizer of Baked Oysters was wonderful. The problem started when we realized we had been waiting an inordinate amount of time for our main courses. The waiter came by twice to say it would be out soon, short handed in the kitchen, etc. When the food arrived, we were starving and our drinks were empty. When asked if I would like another glass of wine, I suggested that since we had waited so long for dinner, it would have been a nice gesture to have brought a complimentary glass to us. This suggestion was met with a surly glance and no comment. A glass was brought, but again, the surly glance, and no comment, just pretty much dropped on the table. The steak our friend had was nearly inedible it had so much gristle. My scallops, while they tasted alright, had been sliced in half, making it look like I had 6 scallops, although thin, but really only had 3! How strange. My husband's dish, a pork special, was good. Now, I'm not too anxious to give this restaurant another try. It is not so much the wait, or even the food, but the way in which the whole episode resonated and was handled by the waiter.

Scallops were not too fresh today! Other than that, we have always had wonderful experiences at Blue. Service is always proficient and food very good. Maybe it was a slow weekend but these scallops were unacceptable.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!! Owner, Gary, goes above and beyond. Best meal I was ever served. Thank you for a remarkable evening. If you want a suburb meal with great service, you definitely want to visit Blue. I recommend to call ahead because they are busting at the seams.

Loved the bacon-wrapped scallops and the salmon with wasabi-ginger sauce. Superb! Will definitely dine there again when in the area.

Blue is our favorite lunch spot when in Flagler Beach as it offers more than the usual fried fish and grouper sandwiches like most of the other local restaurants. Their Lobster Bisque is awesome and the variety of entree's are very interesting.
