Powder-blue walls and crisp white linens offset by dark wood floors and sleek mahogany-stained chairs lend a clean, contemporary vibe to this upscale setting. A wraparound bar...

EXCELLENT FOOD

Average Rating

The evening I went, there was only one couple there. I didn't like the fact that I chose wrong timing. I wanted to get the full experience of the crowd. However, I had great service and did not have to wait to be seated! The food was excellent! My husband and I had the ribs and my husband don't like restuarant food very much and think he cooks the best ribs and make the best sauce in town! He...

I definately agree with many of the reviews regarding Blue 47 and it's a shame... a hot mess. I love to support black owned businesses and it's a shame that the service is HORRIBLE, to say the least. Why is that, we really need to get a hold of that in our community, that a shame, that we feel we have to go another southside neighborhood or downtown to get good service. I love Bronzeville-the...

I really liked this place at first. I am from Chicago but I'm going to school in alabama. Our choir went there and the staff treated us horrible. We had no where to sit and they seemed mad that over 100 people appeared in their restaurant paying money. They were really rude and thats sad to say because I thought the food was great!

Wonderful Ambiance, Great Food, Less than Perfect Service.

I was so excited about Blue 47. In terms of the ambiance I was not disappointed. The lay out is elegant, upscale, trendy, unique and inviting. To see this kind of business in the heart of the African-American community was so encouraging. The food is delicious and, I think, for the quality, fairly priced. It's just a shame that all of those favourable attributes are mitigated by the poor...

Brown banquettes and blue lighting create an inviting environment for contemporary, regional American cuisine. Recently opened, the lack of a sign on the outside hasn't prevented crowds of diners from checking it out. Appetizers include shrimp de jonghe; salads run the gamut. Entrees, mostly prepared with a Cajun twist, include crabmeat-stuffed catfish, deep-fried and served with beurre blanc...

Blu 47 is a hip American joint, that is the perfect place to leave troubles behind and unwind. The razzmatazz-splashed interiors, interesting lighting, and contemporary menu makes sure the place is crowded. Chef Blackmon's splendid food creations melt in the mouth and the house beverages are uplifting. Additionally, jazz performances and DJs are a regular feature. Private party facilities are...
