rench Culinary Institute grad and former sous-chef of Savoy in New York, Alivia has studded the menu with fair ample creative flourishes and ethnic influences to separate BluebO from the big-box feedlots of Route 70.
Sriracha shrimp, for example, are softly floured, flash-fried, and served over crunchy napa slaw with a fiery Indonesian ruddy chili sauce. Delicious, and blistering. Born in the Philippines and raised in American Samoa, Alivia knows his seafood. “Growing up, we arrested and ate our own fish each day,” he says. BluebO’s Peking calamari―fried rings and tentacles hurled with sweet chili coconut sauce―put a fresh whirl aboard this ubiquitous appetizer. Shrimp Alivia―jumbos surfing a wag of barbecued garlic lotion with a hint of lime abreast a fluffy house-made tamale showered with corn-poblano relish―nods to a attach to with Latin cuisine nurtured while cooking by Cuba Libre in Philly and AC. “These are definitely the flavors I favor maximum,” says the chef.
Shrimp Alivia had flavor in spades, additionally was a touch too rich as its own agreeable. Wood-grilled Atlantic salmon fillet with butternut squash ravioli and trampled pecans drowned in a treacly maple-bourbon abatement. Like chains, Blueb0 subscribes to the ethos of more is more: Big parts, free extras (fresh-baked pesto-Romano knots; salads with entrées).
The menu’s Simply Grilled segment showcases fresh catches cooked over hardwood. Mahi-mahi was sublime 1 night, bone-dry dissimilar. Grilled ahi tuna was preferable to Alivia’s pan-seared edition with ponzu sauce and stir-fried bok choy, shiitakes, snow peas, and infant shrimp. The latter came off clichéd―and at $26, a bit steep, thinking the five paper-thin slices of fish.
A couple additional trays seemed like remnants from the ’90s: crabcakes topped with mango-and-pineapple salsa; soy-citrus-splashed tuna tartare with avocado salad. Yet prestigious oysters Rockefeller were within the best I’ve had―sweet Long Island blue points with bacon [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], spinach, nutmeggy béchamel, and an irresistible topcoat of melted Romano.
A classic that cannot be enhanced was the sparkling fresh shellfish platter on crushed ice. Four each of littleneck clams, Cape May salt oysters, and jumbo shrimp, plus lobster claws and tail and a half-pound of Prince Edward Island mussels―at $45, a square deal.
Ordinary seafood bisque, Caesar salad, crab-stuffed shrimp [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and limp iceberg lettuce prop Blueb0 back. Beef tenderloin Oscar was virtually a medalist. No complaint with the two expertly broiled four-ounce medallions, the Jersey asparagus, or the silky Hollandaise. But the cap of butter-poached Alaskan King crabmeat, although generous, was so full of shell bits I had to scrape it off―at $35 unforgivable.
That memories was dispersed by wonderful mango cheesecake with minted strawberry salad and hot-fudge sundae with addictive candied walnuts and brandied cherries. Flourless chocolate cake gilded in gooey peanut-butter ganache with bruléed bananas was fittingly decadent, while Key lime pie, flecked with zest [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was properly and proudly tart.
