Everything we tried, both food and drink, was delicious! Loved the complimentary homemade wasabi potato chips!

RoamWithOm was here. A perfect Sunday even with the mists of the ocean whiting out the view from the blu brine. Great service from our waitress she even gave me roses. The cinnamon churrios as pictured (see photo)so tasty but more coffee ice cream on the plate. Just a little more. Mmmmmmm. Thank you.

The view here is one of the most stunning you will ever see - huge beautiful view of the ocean and surrounding area. They offer free homemade chips for free that are so good. Service is wonderful, even when they are incredibly busy. I recommend the Pomegranate Mojito - fresh and fruity, not too sweet, and feels "beachy" :)

We stopped in for a late lunch. Food was great. Wonderful cocktails too. Staff was friendly. Great view. It was a little chilly and we were given blankets. The homemade potato chips brought to the table were amazing. Lobby filled with fresh flowers. The scent was fantastic!

Ask for Matt, he was terrific at providing great service, very friendly, and fun. My friends and I had a great time and he was johnny on the spot with blankets, a heater, our food etc., while not being overbearing.

A great location, with or without the fireplaces lit. Great food, awesome cocktails. A great place to meet with friends, or just chill and watch the show on the beach and in the waves

If you are not staying at the Ritz, now you have a reason to go there. The Ritz does an amazing job with the grandeur of the lobby, the art, flower arrangements and friendly staff make just getting to 180blu interesting. I don't know if there is a better place for an appetizer and a cocktail, the drinks are great... More

A sunset meeting with family at 180 blue. My Roamwithom.com family had a fabulous time. And it's fun to watch those Fabulous people be Fabulous! But the hotel is amazingly hip they are looking to attract the young crowd so I bring all my friends to see its not that overpriced. Yet when you say the Ritz to friends the... More

Romantic, personable staff, great oceanfront view! They give you fresh blankets too! High tables and low tables with firepits! You can order food there too and if it's cold there are heaters as well :) Great place to have wine with your significant other :) Listening to the ocean is mesmerizing! Great for a date night too!
