Dining here before the Bonnie raitt concert. Reservations at 6. A little slow to be seated and seemed a little disorganized for seating when a crush of walk ins arrived. … but once seated, servers were doing a good job of handling the rush crowd. Food was good. We enjoyed our meal. And boy is it nice to just walk across the street to the concert. I would come here again.

It was our first time checking out blue and it had such a great vibe. It was a girls night out and we shared appetizers and entrées. Everything was wonderful. I thought the bottles of wine were well priced. I didn’t have any cocktails, but definitely next time.

Great food and service. We had the bacon burger- super JUICY. The French fries and onion rings were perfect. The wings were a little undercooked but overall great experience
