    My wife and I celebrated my birthday at Blue River Bistro. I had their salmon plate and enjoyed it very much. Service, ambience and noise level were great. We Would come back again.

    Excellent service. Lovely and lively atmosphere but not too loud. It was a big meal after a major snowstorm that had almost stranded us on the highway. It was not cheap - but a special meal on our holiday. We do recommend it and the great interiors, food, wine selections and easy parking.

    As always the food and device were excellent. Whenever we are in the area we always book a reservation at Blue River Bistro. We have yet to try any other place in the area, that’s how much we love dining there.

    We spend 7-9 weeks annually in Breck and always dine at BRB. Never disappoints we always comment that we wish we could find a go to restaurant offering the same combo of selection, quality, service and value in the other cities web spend time. BRB was the first meal we had in Breck 13 years ago, you have met or exceeded or expectations ever since.

    Great restaurant in the heart of downtown Breck! We brought our young child with us and they were super accommodating. The salmon was delicious. Very reasonably priced and lots of great options on the menu. We’ll definitely come back!
