Dear Friends, Guests, and Patrons of Blue Bottle,

It’s the end of an era. After 19 incredible years, The Blue Bottle Cafe will close its doors on Saturday, April 19th. We are so grateful for all the memories we have helped create and share with each of you. In the meantime, we will continue to take reservations through the 19th, so be sure to book a spot and enjoy a last supper with us. Thank you for 19 amazing years; we couldn’t have done it without you.

Sincerely,
Rory, Aaron, and Team Blue!

    My final goodbye to the Blue Bottle on the evening of its 19th Anniversary on March 22. Hard to decide on what to order with a lot of favorites through the years on the menu. Finally chose the Blue Bottle salad, Iberico pork, and apple strudel. Our favorite waitress over the years made sure our evening went well. Owner Rory stoped by our table for a final goodbye chat before stepping out for the evening. The closing of the restaurant leaves a big hole in my stomach. I wish everyone well & success in whatever the next chapter brings. You may still be able to make a reservation before the restaurant’s last night on April 19, 2025.

    Ambiance is cozy and relaxed. Staff is attentive but not intrusive. It's BYOW so the wine was excellent. The dishes were flavorful, plentiful and well presented. Overall, well pleased and would visit again.

    I have been coming for years. Always enjoying the food and chatting with Rory the owner. I love the raisin bread. So crisp & yummy. The restaurant is closing on April 19 after 19 years. They will be very sadly missed. 😢
