    We enjoyed a great evening out this Valentine’s weekend. From service to food, it was incredible! My husband and I shared fried oysters, Fettuccine Aragosta, Gnocchi Bolognese and a fabulous bottle of wine. Serving sizes were generous and we took home leftovers. We are excited that Blue Cave is heading to Lewiston in the upcoming weeks, as it is much closer to our home. We will be back!

    First of all, it’s a lovely setting and we like visiting Patrick’s rooftop bar. The hostess greeted us and was extremely friendly. Unfortunately, we found out that the table we had booked didn’t really exist and they weren’t serving as all their tables were outside. Though they told us we could get food at the bar, They were kind enough to turn the outdoor fireplaces on for us. The service was great and friendly. Drinks were good. The location is extremely nice.
