blu
Biloxi, MS
Nine floors above the beach, blu pairs Gulf views with shareable tapas and a cocktail list built for slow evenings at Treasure Bay.
Atmosphere
blu sits on the ninth floor of Treasure Bay, wrapped in windows that put the whole Mississippi Sound on display, so sunset happens right at your table. The room runs dim and a little moody: navy leather barstools, starburst pendant lights over the bar, and a long teak counter that curves toward the glass. Servers work the floor in black suits and ties, a sharper look than most casino lounges bother with on this stretch of beach. Live music fills the room some Friday nights, though the volume stays low enough to talk over. Seating is spaced out, so a busy Thursday still doesn't feel elbow to elbow. It reads as date-night territory, or a spot to gather friends before a run on the casino floor below.
What to Order
This is a tapas-and-shareables menu built for grazing, not a full sit-down dinner. The Shanghai Shrimp comes up most in conversation: five jumbo shrimp fried and tossed in sweet chili sauce, stacked over crispy honey-drizzled wonton strips. Blackened tuna, sesame-crusted and served over citrus soy greens with a teriyaki drizzle, is the pick for anyone wanting something lighter. Hot bacon jam oysters and sautéed crab claws cover the seafood end, while the chimichurri steak and a charcuterie board loaded with meats and cheeses handle heavier cravings. Flatbreads split easily across a table, and a full drinks, wine, and whiskey list backs it all up. Order two or three plates per couple and let the view do the rest of the work.
Good to Know
blu opens daily at 4 p.m. and runs until midnight, and it doesn't take reservations, so arrive close to opening on weekends if you want a window table before they fill. There's a players club kiosk nearby that unlocks tapas and drink discounts, and bottled wine runs half off on Sundays with a food order. Treasure Bay is a 21-and-over property top to bottom, casino floor and restaurants included, so it's not a stop for families with kids. Parking is free, with both self-parking and valet at the entrance. Dress leans upscale-casual: nobody's turned away in shorts, but the black-tie service staff set a tone a notch above flip-flops and tank tops.
Our Take
blu is best for couples and small groups after a good view and a few shared plates rather than a full dinner out. Regulars rave about the bartenders and the Gulf sunset from the ninth floor, and most reviews back that up. It isn't flawless: portion sizes have drawn complaints, and service can slip when the room gets slammed on a weekend night. Go for cocktails, the Shanghai shrimp, and the view, keep it casual, and you'll leave happy.
