They have patio service on the weekends with a DJ and even a little space out there for dancing. I ordered catfish strips and friends ordered hushpuppies-both delicious. The drinks were pretty good but could be a tad stronger. It took 20 minutes and a manager to.come by our table to say welcome, before we got to order anything and after that service was slow- too.busy for the amount of waitstaff. Id recommend ordering more than 1 drink at a time, which we did. Our server was very nice;the bartender not so much. We enjoyed our girl time and the atmosphere. We will be back.

Yo Bleu Note, thanks for providing fun, comfort, security, and, a great time for my brother and sister in laws birthday party!!! Coming from upstate NY, during these tough times, yall really made us feel good, and safe. Thanks, and much prosperity to you. 5 Stars, in my book

This visit was very nice, and the vibe was soothing. The staff were excellent, the kind of customer service that makes you wanna come back for more, and I will. The food will not disappoint either.

Held a dinner and silent auction here. Italian buffet was delicious and plentiful! Downstairs held 50 people comfortably. Price for venue was appreciated!

Doesnt seem to matter about covid precautions. I was eating and people with masks off were having conversations around me. Now is not the time to be that discourteous.

The drinks are severely watered down and they charged me 10 dollars for a half a shot. Not saying to over pour but its ridiculous. The food is ok but its a tight squeeze.

Husband was looking for a live music venue! Drove out here from Federal Way and so glad we did! We ordered the catfish and the crab cake dishes with beer and Prosecco! Delicious dinner with amazing music! Andra Green and the Solution were playing (they were amazing)! Owners and staff were both welcoming and we plan on coming more often! Thanks for the great time!

The band was, the food was and the customer service was great! As a LA resident I enjoyed the atmosphere and expect to return upon my next visit to Seattle.

Omgsh. What can I say other than this place is wonderful for people whom love blues, rhythm, and jazz. I adore everything about this place. Food= bomb, Live music= AMAZING, and heck I got a dang rose. What a way to make this Kansas City Girl feel so at home in the PNW. I LOVED my experience and hospitality with the staff here. Plus, sorry not sorry the dress code was wonderful thing. Dress up for yourself people! Have fun and enjoy pampering yourself for a night.

The food is delicious its definitely worth the money I got the sea food platter with shrimp, catfish, lobster, fries, coleslaw and hushpuppy with a side order of there famous crab cakes you gotta try it your wont be disappointed

It was a lovely experience on Sunday a day we needed to gain strength from each other and the Bleu note made it happen thank you for your generosity. I wont forget that day

Awesome time. Good music and atmosphere! Saxophonist Maureese Itson was superb.

Food was great, staff was professional will be back

Friendly staff. Good music

Lake Grove St SW is the best street to find the entrance to the restaurant. Near Harborstone Credit Union. Has really good catfish and hush puppies.

Awesome. Food was delicious, staff was amazing.

A great seafood platter. Fish was amazing.

Waitress wasnt sure of the specials. The barbecue food was lack to be desired

Grown and sexy at its finest.. Oh did I mention they have catfish dinners

Great food and prices with fantastic staff

The crab cakes and all you can eat catfish was so good love the music and friendly environment

Great atmosphere. I enjoyed the vibe. We all danced. I didnt feel the pressure of competition. Everyone just wanted to have a good time. Be respectful but whomever is available, its free game. Enjoy.

Phenomenal place for singers, shows and some of the best southern food Ive had on the west coast.

Good food. good selection. high price tho

Very down to earth the food was very good

Food is good Ive only been one time so not enough to comment on the rest of the place. I went dancing one night and it seemed to be a really nice time I will try it again. And I would recommend it also

Fresh and friendly service. Catfish is fried to perfection.

Its a beautiful place. Theres an open mic on Sunday. The staff are wonderful...so are the DJs.

The food and live music was a great atmosphere

Lovely people and very nice music

This is a great place to have a nice meal, listen to some live music, mingle and have a great time.

Miss Sylvia, Greg, the surround sound band and Dominique Hammond were wonderful. And the catfish tasted yummy! I had a great time put the live music and the DJ. Everyone was very friendly

Good music. Over 30 crowd. Mostly over 40. Live music. Two dance floors. Enjoyable menu.Very grown atmosphere that is friendly and inviting. Thursday-Saturday ate CLUB nights with a beautiful social climate.Open mic Sunday night is a great change of pace. Very diverse talent to the mic. Great poetry and local singers accompanied by an awesome live band.

Nice place to hang out for grown folks. Always great music

Took the wife for her Bday andnwill definitely be back. Good vibes all around. The food was delicious, the service was incredible and the music was on point. Drama free with an older crowd. Would definitely recommend for someone who is looking for a place to chill and have a good time.

We enjoyed the atmosphere and good old school music. Food a little pricy for the size of meal but it is a night club

Food and drinks were great, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back!

I love this place!!!! It gives Lakewood its much needed Soul

This place is AMAZING. The catfish and sweet potatoes fries is my go to dish. The music is good and the over all atmosphere was plesant.

Came to a friends event here. The club staff were not on the same page and did not have the expected seating and area ready when we showed. A little disagreement turned into a working compromise. Started stressful but ended Nyce. Confirm your event info SEVERAL times to ensure everyone is on the same page when you show up and if needing the Top and Bottom seating area of the club. If your having a small event 30 people or less you should be fine renting this area out comfortably. We had about 55. It worked I. The ebd but we were on top of each other trying to move around the Top portion of the club that we were only given

Seafood platter is really good. Everything was cooked perfectly.

Very professional staff. Up and coming club for grown folks. Dress code keeps out riff raff. Love the DJs mix of old and new! Love the food and staff. Reasonably priced.

The owners here are very nice as well as the staff. Great service and the drinks are great. The open mic on Sunday evening is a must if you love live karaoke. Theres an actual live band to back you up as well...

Dancing drinks and fun. Chicken wings w/fries delicious. Fun place

Awesome I. Love the atmosphere. Really pleasant

Delicious, authentic Puerto Rican food! I thought I was home for a minute, lol! It is a little pricey, however its really just par for the area. Stop in some time

Always a good time at the Blue Note. Ive attended many events, some require purchase of tix but its general seating. Food is good...my favorite is the catfish platter. Drinks are good. DJ in bar area is really good. Always a good time!

I love this place it makes me feel at home.

Great place for us over forty just great food great music entertainment with your dinner make your night friendly crowd very welcoming

This is a great jazz and R and B club, small but nice. Pretty big dance floor considering the size. Big parking lot but hard to find. It is down a side street and the street signs are dim. I ended up circling around a few times.

If youre looking for either a nice place to relax in the evenings, to hear a live show, or to try some awesome and nostalgic food. This should be a stop you highly consider!

I understand rules are set in place for a reason but the dress code is overly stressed . Tried to get in there tonight was told no base off my husband shoes being soft bottoms. Hes worn these shoes in there before. Its highly disappointing, we got dressed and chose there hang out to only get turned down. He wasnt wearing sneakers he was wearing designer shoes. But they werent to the standards of the the club. My husband is an professional and works hard. We were hoping to listen to some good music, start out weekend unfortunately that was not the case. If he has to be forced to wear something he doesnt even wear to church then Bleu Note has to be off our list. We wish the club and patrons well in the future.

This was a second time visit..went much better than the 1st everyone was wonderful the band outstanding. Space and restroom not so much but enjoyed cant wait til they move.

This was our first time visiting the Bleu Note and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The owner greated us in a welcoming manner when we first arrived, and the diverse crowd was mostly over 30 so everyone was cool. I had the catfish dinner and my wife had shrimp--both meals were really good. Besides the food, the drinks were reasonablely priced and the music was on point. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they couldnt make my wife a French Martini at the bar, so she had a Lemon Drop instead, which she said was great!

Ambience was nice! Crowd was grown and sexy. Music was Great! People was Great! Musicians and comedians were Great! OH YEAH! The food was righteous!

Great vibe. Good live music. Food is good but portions are small compared to the prices. Had a good time.

Great music, great dancing, fair priced drinks, we had a blast here on R&B night! So much fun! No beer on tap, but that didnt bother us at all.

Great chef. Best place for the 30 plus crowd.

So I stumbled on this place by accident because I had a taste for some catfish. Ended up reading the reviews and found out that its an R&b spot at night so me and wifey decided to go.Ended up having a great time. Both Djs did theyre thing and our waitress was great as well. Definitely plan on returning. Drinks were great as well.Probably just needs to be advertised more, Ive been here almost a year and never heard of the place and probably never wouldve found it if I hadnt had a taste for catfish.

Thursdays happy hour with the DJ is awesome!

Nice music, good food, good drinks Ill visit again.

Love love love. A great place to hang out and eat, listen to live music and just relax.

Love this place best place to go to get away and dance your butt off

Excellent! Food For The Soul!! The Best!! In the Northern West!! Sharon

Found a great place to listen to sweet music, hear a band and dance a bit. Old school and R&B....and best of all....its the older crowd! Yay!

Great food and atmosphere...live jazz

Very nice n comfortable atmosphere, the food is great and so is the service, I highly recommend it.

Great place to have a bite to eat. Groovy music.

Good food

FABULOUS all you can eat catfish. Service was Awesome

My husband and I went to check out the scene. It is a nice space and can accommodate parties and bands! The food was great and enjoyed listening to the DJ. They have some great events coming up too! If you want to try something different and not do the drive into Seattle or Tacoma, come here! We will be back for sure.

Can always dance to the music. Their chicken wings, fried fish, and fries are great! Staff very friendy and professional. Check them out!

Great place to entertain out of town guests tonight. Wonderful jazz and dining!

Super tight cutting edge grown folks eatery and place to unwind.... Top tier spot to relax enjoy the house bands old school flow especially open mic night Sundays 7pm til 9pm with Spoken word poetry..... I really enjoyed that Spoken Word Artist Mr. Bobby Jones.... And the food is 5 Star quality Yes the Blue Note is a must visit too do Lister

Great food and live entertainment... visiting from California and my son took me here tonight... what a treat.

Really nice and cozy place to unwind. Great people, food and music

Nice atmosphere, ambiance, great staff, very attentive. Will definately return.

Its jus ok

Bartender was nice music was good but it is loud af lol

Fun Fun Fun, a nice place to go

A great new hot spot on the South End for Live entertainment on Thursday and Fridays. Amazing southern dishes on the menu. Stop by for a grown folk atmosphere!

Good food great music

Excellent entertainment and the food was good.

Great Atmosphere. Enjoyed the band

Hung out with my sisters...uad a great time

The place for catfish and R&B music. In addition it is a great case study as to how a restaurant should be managed.

Its a very good establishment to relax and enjoy friends, food and top notch entertainment! No drama, very respectable, working class people..

My husband & I went to a free jazz night. The Jazz Artist did very well! It was an enjoyable evening, except for the cramped seating.

Ive been here several of times and the only things that matter at establishments like this are the CS (customer service), food & drink quality, and atmosphere.The service is a hit or miss. One time I went and my food and drink came at appropriate times. The food was good and the drink was well mixed.On a different visit, my cousin and I ordered their drink special, the Blue Sunrise. The bartender gave us a tall glasses of juice with cherries. Good idea, horrible mix from the bartender that night. Oh, and did I forget to mention my other cousin ordered a glass of wine and it took 15min to get from the bar to our table which was about 15ft. And no, the bar itself wasnt even busy yet. There were only about 7 people scattered sitting at the bar.The atmosphere is very tight in the seating area. Not very accommodating for a plus size crowd. Its even worse for the wait staff. When the seating area is full, the wait staff has to squeeze in just to do their job. Thankfully the entertainment of the comedy show that happens every 1st Wed and my understanding the behind the scenes of running a restaurant/bar its worth going for the hit or miss.

Great fried chicken wings and great fried catfish.

Nice Place! Good Food

Great night, great show. Keep it up. Real music

Good food, great atmosphere, live music, dancing, super crowd, go early to get a parking spot.

Attended a bday party. great establishment. good sounds, good food, good staff. Vet owned..

Crabs cakes are good and the cat fish platter is delicious

Loved the live band.... awesome staff. A no drama zone. Friday nights are great...food is good. Looking forward to Sundays Open Mic night.

Great atmosphere, Friendly crowd. Music is insanelu to loud and the food which is good but heavenl overpriced.

Excellent! One of the few places where you can enjoy live R&B music.

Loved it...

I had such a good time. The food was great and the entertainment was fantastic. I am definitely going to come back
