Blu, a small, darkly lit, BYO in Montclair is the perfect place to indulge a sinfully delicious meal.  Chef and owner, Zod Arifai, never appears in the dining room, but works wizardry from the kitchen, weaving textures and tastes into an all-but-irresistible spell. 

When you are in the restaurant of a renown chef, like Zod Arifai, it's best to let him have his way with you.  My fiendish dining companions and I opted for the tasting menu, a nine-course degustation of enchanted courses.
