What is Inspired Cuisine? "Contemporary American with flavors from around the world" is the closest you will hear Chef Randy Chamberlain try to describe blu. The daily changing menu sources the freshest local ingredients available with Chef Randy's unwavering desire to be spontaneous. We are often met with disbelief when our guests are told the menu is not written until 4:30 everyday, "we can tell you what the menu was yesterday, you'll have to wait for today's menu". Join us on our culinary journey.

With an extensive wine list representing the wine regions of the world along with the best selections of Northwest Michigan, certified sommelier Mari chamberlain will choose the perfect wine selection to compliment your meal, we try to make your dining experience as effortless as possible.  Our service staff is professional, knowledgeable and well versed in the world of food and wine.  We strive for exceptional service.

Located in beautiful Glen Arbor Michigan, blu is 26 picturesque miles west of Traverse City and a stones throw from Lake Michigan. The panoramic atrium dining room featuring glorious sun set views dancing on Sleeping Bear Bay, North and South Manitou Islands.

Special events, blu is the perfect venue for private functions such as anniversary parties, weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal brunches, luncheons and business meetings. With accommodations to allow 50 guests, your next special event could be nothing less that spectacular.

Your hosts,
Randy and Mari Chamberlain
