West Palm Beach was an immediate hit with the public, since inception has been bar of the year voted by the public each year.

In March 2002 Blue Martini opened in Tampa with a Boom, being credited as the best nightlife location in the city.

Just after opening Tampa Blue Martini assisted Harrah's Reno in developing and opening "Sapphire" a Blue Martini similar concept in their Casino hotel in Reno.
