Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Bee Caves / Lakeway / Lake Travis

Our server was fantastic and patient- we stayed over two hours and she didn’t push or rush us. She was attentive and pleasant. So thankful for time with friends we hadn’t seen in a long time so thank you for that- very appreciative.

First time: Made reservations about two months in advance— the place was packed! Everyone was either celebrating something or spending time with loved ones. A great atmosphere! The food was outstanding, a great selection of wines and liquors at the bar. Service was faster than expected, especially considering how busy the place was. Reasonable prices all-around and excellent experience from the staff and the atmosphere.

Great restaurant, service is outstanding! We did go on a holiday so the meats were taking a little longer to come around but the staff was working hard to accommodate everyone. We have been here several times before and we will dine here again for sure.

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.

The food selection and service were great. As a point of feedback. It would have been nice to have all the food in the same area. We were seated in a separate area and only had access to kid friendly options in our area. We had to walk to other areas for traditional dishes, salads and desserts. It was a great experience overall and a great option for my Mom and I. Una was awesome. I would have tipped him 20% even if gratuity wasn’t included.
