Best Romantic Restaurants in Dripping Springs

Café Blue has quickly made a name for itself as a go-to spot for delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. My recent visit, however, was a mix of highs and lows, offering some great culinary experiences but also a few notable frustrations. Let’s start with the positives: the food at Café Blue was outstanding! Each dish we ordered was crafted with care and bursting with flavor. From the fresh ingredients to the artful presentation, it was evident that the chefs take great pride in their creations. The highlights for me included the seasonal specials, which featured unique flavor combinations that were both comforting and inventive. I left feeling satisfied and excited to return for more. However, the service left something to be desired. Upon our arrival the manager was rude, condescending and inappropriate telling us our reservation with Open Table was “iffy.” She scolded us and stated we are booked with reservations. Well, we made ours well in advanced, also. In addition, we experienced a significant wait for our drinks. It’s understandable that places can get busy but they had plenty of staff to assist. While the stellar food will definitely bring me back, I hope Café Blue addresses the service issues. Creating a welcoming environment for guests should be just as important as crafting delicious dishes. Overall, I would recommend Café Blue to anyone looking for great food, but be prepared for a potentially slow start when it comes to drinks. Here’s hoping for a smoother experience next time.

I took my mom to Christmas Eve dinner, and it was an unforgettable experience. The staff were incredibly accommodating and kind, going out of their way to assist with my mom’s mobility needs. The festive atmosphere, delicious food, and warm service made the evening truly special. Every dish was perfectly prepared, but it was the staff’s genuine care and attention that stood out. This was more than just a meal—it was a moment to treasure. We’ll definitely be back.

We love lunch specials! We try the Yakisoba this time. Never disappointed! We will be back soon.

We had a wonderful time. The food was great and the atmosphere was wonderful. We ordered three dishes and shared them. The food was excellent. I would definitely recommend Dos Olivos. The wine was also very nice.!
