   We were pleasantly surprised on our first visit to Blue. I had heard mixed reviews from friends -- but our overall experience was extremely positive. From the added carpet (which considerably helps the noise level) to nice ambience to very attentive and knowledgeable servers to delicious food and drink, we would definitely return. Our dinners were really good -- we had arancini for an appetizer, the catch of the day special (fantastic!), and the profiteroles for dessert (the mint ice cream -- wow!). We were also surprised to learn that the same owner as before has created this new concept. Kudos to him for abandoning the Bistro Aix model. The original Bistro Aix was way too good for him to attempt to replicate -- and we had taken it off our list after having a couple of really bad experiences. Blue, however, will be back on our restaurant rotation.

   Had the short rib. It was under seasoned Bathroom was a mess at 6:00 (when we walked in there were three tables seated). Some of the doors were in disrepair. Attention to detail is lacking at this restaurant.

   Lovely space, good food and very attentive service. I am disappointed that in addition to a pricey experience, I got charged a technology fee to process my credit card! The owners need to build that charge into the prices on the menu-I’m sure that’s what other restaurants do to cover that expense.

   Understaffed, long waits for everything - 45mins for an appetizer. Rice dish was partially cooked. After standing at the hostess stand for 10mins while the hostess SLOWLY walked around, I was told we needed to wait another 10mins for our reservation. Terrible hostess...no smile, no greeting, just "do you have a reservation" and in slow motion. Our server was good, but no support.

   Busy evening with multiple large parties, making the overall service slow. Could not get one of the specials since they run out. However, still a good overall experience.

   When we arrived, it looked as though the restaurant was around 50% full. We sat down and waited a long time to receive our first drink order. It became obvious the issue was with the bar and not our server. My second drink came back wrong and my main dish came out cold. They ran out of my husband’s special dish, so he ordered a pizza. The server said the pizza machine broke momentarily and would be up and running soon. Two out of the four main courses were brought out late. This was our first time and unfortunately, last time, even though your restaurant is decorated nicely, we won’t be back!

   We had an awesome time at Blue! The food was phenomenal, beautiful plating and decor inside, and quick service. The chef even stopped by our table which added an extra layer of luxurious feel. We’ll definitely be back.

   Only been open for a few months, so I hope they make it. Small menu, which is a sign that they’re focused. Inventive dishes from starters to dessert, paired with an excellent bar selection (try the Broadley pinot noir). I dined on a Tuesday night so as quiet as to be expected, but I’ll definitely be back.

    Great overall experience. The food options were really delicious and we enjoyed our night there. They also have a Bar/Lounge next door for a nightcap after which is a nice added element.
