Blu Fig Restaurant Review

Blu Fig has recently become my all time favorite local place to eat dinner. Located in Stony Point, NY, with a sister restaurant in New City, NY, this restaurant serves a mouthwatering menu with many different options mostly revolving around Mediterranean cuisine. Along with their main entrees they also serve several upscale "small plates", gourmet sandwiches, fresh salads, and handmade pizza in their own authentic brick oven. If you're thirsty there is a full menu featuring different wines, sparkling beverages, and beers. Check out their website here! 


Blu Fig is applauded for their extremely affordable menu with not one item priced over $20 (including bottles of wine). Along with great prices comes great portion sizes. I swear a bowl of pasta could easily feed three! For that reason, I am always taking leftovers home, which makes the next day's lunch extra special.


Trust me when I say, everything is so absolutely delicious. Each visit I try to get something new but I have several regulars that seem to always pull me in. Check out my reviews below to see some of my fabulous food finds at Blu Fig.


Starter: seared, peppercorn crusted yellow fin tuna with a Mediterranean chutney ($7)

This small plate is to die for. The tuna is cooked with just a touch of heat to sear the sides. The chutney consists of chopped tomatoes, onions, and Greek olives with a dash of olive oil. On the opposite side is a beautiful green cilantro pesto that just coats the bottom edges of the tuna. This attractive dish will have your tongue dancing silly in your mouth.  All the flavors and textures blend together and the tuna melts in your mouth.

Entree: shrimp scampi linguine ($13)

Damn this dish is good! This scampi is packed with flavor from start to finish. Eight large shrimp get to bathe in a bath of fresh herbs, chili peppers, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. It seems simple but it is just the right bit of spices to make this pasta stand out.  All I need is just a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese and then I'm in for the night. This and a glass of wine, count me in!

Specialty Pizza: personal ($11)/ family ($16)

Regular Pizza:   personal ($9)/ family  ($12)  + toppings

What makes these pies so special is the love they put into them. Every specialty pie is carefully constructed so that each ingredient pairs perfectly with everything on the pie. My number once choice is the vodka, which is made up of prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, a light tomato cream sauce, and fresh basil. This baby comes out hot and juicy with crispy little bits of salty cured meat.The fresh mozzarella has a nice little pull that gives you the true NY feeling. The sauce is tangy with a sweet creamy finish. I can only make it through half a personal pie but I'll remind you that leftovers taste great, even cold! 

After eating all this food I can never make it to dessert but I have been offered several times. Coffee and tea are also available for an after dinner treat.

I hope these tantalizing dishes make you think about visiting Blu Fig. I know you will enjoy it just as much as I do!
