The Blu Moon

This place is screaming «who am I?» Sushi? Home cooking? Fine dining? It’s a little of everything, with no signature items. We were excited to try the homemade crab wontons and they were out… Uhhhh, it was 6:00– we weren’t informed and were very disappointed. We decided to try the whitefish dip instead – it was good and our server even refilled our bread without asking. We also were interested to try the sushi, but were apprehensive after seeing the mixed reviews. We decided to go for it anyway and ordered the Sexy Roll. We were pleasantly surprised! Great taste, although overpriced for sushi. My husband ordered the sweet and sour chicken and it was dried out. My daughter’s chicken tenders were also hard to choke down. My husband thought his martini was the best he had ever had and that’s saying a lot! Overall, we liked some aspects of this restaurant but it is over priced and confusing.

Limited menu but top quality preparation — good variety. We had the lamb chops with lingonberry sauce — excellent. Fresh salad with homemade dressing — excellent service. Probably the best restaurant in this part of the state.

We have friends who LOVE this place-​swear by it. I don’t get it. We’ve eaten here 3 times and been VERY disappointed. Every. Single. Time. Wait for the food was long, Price was VERY high for what you get. Food was somewhere between «meh» and awful every timel. I sometimes wonder if I’m missing out on something by not trying it again but where I’m from three strikes and you’re out. Obviously (based on reviews) some folks have had a great experience here but we’ve just not ever managed to connect I guess. We love great gourmet restaurants in Boston and Los Angeles… AND we love mom and pop diners along blue highways in middle America. We’re far from food snobs but we expect good service, tasty food and a price in keeping with the food served. Unfortunately we’ve never experienced any of those three here.

Really enjoyed the Blu Moon today– rotisserie chicken was perfect and the Carolina bbq sauce was great.
Nice presentation.
Todd was very attentive at the bar and was good with the customers.
Great spot to go– lots of variety of food and drinks and sushi!
Highly recommended.

If you are a sushi lover, don’t go here, you will just be disappointed. The sushi rolls are the tiniest I’ve ever seen along with the most over priced. Their overall taste didn’t wow me.
Atmosphere is ok, but the music sucked and was too loud to hear what the server was saying.

Their martini and cocktails have unique ingredients like a strawberry basil vodka! Yum! Sushi was absolutely amazing. We live a few hours away but would travel back to Ludington specifically to have dinner here! Trust me-​go here

I will give this place a 4 star for the patio it was such a good atmosphere. The food was really average, but still ok!
I had a veggie sandwich and lots of fries and the cucumber salad was really refreshing. Go check out the patio and get some good bar food and have a good time in the sun!

Went here with my family last night to have a nice dinner. Disorganized and dirty. We waited over and hour for our food and when it finally came out, the food was cold. Barely could order water, and when we did finally get water after waiting 20 minutes, it was tonic water. Will never be going there again.

We were there twice in two days — on the roof. First time two couples for drinks later at night. Service was excellent, drinks good and reasonably priced.
Next evening, 8 adults, and 4 kids from 6 months to 4 years. Service was awesome and they were packed. Food was great. Can speak about the whitefish, lobster nachos and ribs. All good. Nobody else had any complaints. Waitress Michelle was stellar. Really on her game.
Would definitely go back.

Went there recently !!! Tied the 12.00 hamburger !!! Nothing special and not worth even half that price !!! I wondered why I did not see any locals there !!! Can’t afford the inflated tourist prices !!! Hey this is Ludington not Chicago !!! Will not be back !!!

I may be a little jaded because we used to come here when it first opened and the menu was very different. I much preferred the old menu. The food is not bad it just is not inspired. The veggie sushi is actually pretty good. The charcoal salmon was a bit under cooked and leaned toward the fatty side. The crab rangoons were rather heavy on dough and light on filling. The side salad was fresh and pleasant. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service was friendly and just the right amount of attentive.

After looking for a good 30 minutes my family and I ran into this location. I’m glad we did. The food was delicious, very well presented, and very accommodating to food allergies. The weather was also beautiful and the outside chairs were just right. Highly recommended.

Between all the choices of salads and soups and seafood, it was sooo easy to eat healthfully here. Even for my Mom, who has a serious gluten allergy, dairy allergy and also happens to be a vegetarian. We found something tasty for everyone. Not to mention the fries! Wow. Not so much healthy, but delicious. I had the Wakame salad appetizer with 2 types of seaweed salad and Japanese style seafood ceviche. While the clavicle was clearly not fresh and nit my favorite, the seaweed salads were really tasty and so was everything else.

This place could be wonderful. It’s trying too hard to be trendy and not concentrating on the food. My first visit here for dinner my food — ribs were cold and tough and inedible. I tried some of the shrimp and grits and that was good. They took it off my bill. The second time I was there for lunch and had the salmon salad. It was over microwaved and the flavors didn’t mesh well. The food is less than meh and the ambience is not inviting either. Blue lights and mismatched chairs.

Haven’t dined at this restaurant since they opened because I was disappointed but decided to give them another chance.
Ordered NY strip with shoe string fries and a water with a splash of cranberry — 35 $ meal
My steak was cooked well at medium rare but for a 29 dollar piece of meat I had hoped it would have had some flavor. I really wanted to like this place but again was disappointed in the high prices with low quality taste of the food.

Sushi, southern philly rolls were excellent, however the fuzion salad had some wilted greens.

I don’t know what the issue is with reviewers on here, must be out of towners expecting something different. This place is easily the best restaurant in Ludington. The food is interesting and so is the atmosphere. The service can be a little slow at times but you will not find anything else in Ludington even close to the quality and creativity of their restaurant

Waited 30 min to be seated on the roof top and about another 15 before a server even said hello. Food was served timely, but burger was way over cooked and pricey for what you get. Not much selection in L-​ton, but they need to up their game about 3 levels.

One of the best in Ludington! For a more fine dining, experience, sit inside the restaurant. Very nice atmosphere, great cocktails, wonderful service, and the food is amazing! Great place for a date or an evening out with friends! It isn’t the most «child-​friendly» place in town and honestly I prefer it that way. The sushi is great — and on Tuesdays (at least in the summer) they feature a sushi special.
Over the Moon, their outdoor deck area is a lot of fun! There is frequently live music and it is a more casual experience. Children fit in better up on the deck than in the restaurant itself. My personal favorite at Over the Moon is the lobster nachos! I love to have it with a refreshing Goose Island 312 draft!

We have dined at Blu Moon a couple times each year since they opened. In an area where quality food is scarce, Blu Moon is an standout.
