    Service was great - modifications to the order were not correct. Waitstaff offered to take the plate back to the kitchen for corrections, but I personally never send food back to the kitchen.

    It is always nice to dine at Cafe Blue. It is consistently good and their brunch menu did not disappoint! They served a nice complimentary treat to begin our dining experience. We brought two out of town friends who had not been there previously and they enjoyed the entire experience! Great Mimosas. Thank you to the very gracious Manager who stopped by to check on us. We had a wonderful wait person and a great time all around.

    I didn’t want to give this place a 1 star, because our waiter and food were good-hence the 2 stars. Totally get it was Valentines Day, but there shouldn’t have been an option for reservations. The one thing I HATE is waiting knowing I placed a reservation and then having to wait an hour just to be seated. You are lucky I was patient because I could have ended up a Kevin. Other than that, the food was delicious and drinks were too.

    Booked a week early for valentines to end up being told the wait will 40 minutes with reservations. This to me is unacceptable. I personally feel like this restaurant purposely overbooked. I feel bad for my waiter, he was polite and did well. I don’t know if this is an open table problem or restaurant problem but in the future if your know you’re overbooked when people are reserving a week out for your due diligence to call your customer and present them with choices instead of letting them meet this problem at the door. You guys ruined my wife’s and I entire night. Guys save yourself a night of arguements.

    Reservation times seem to be merely a suggestion at this restaurant. Your mileage may very, but a 40 minute wait is excessive. "It was a surprise, a Friday night, Valentines Day, blah, blah, blah." They overbooked, knowing that once you are in the door, where else are you going to go. Great way to extend that 7pm dinner rush through closing.

    Even though we had a reservation, there was a 45 minute wait, with no explanation. People waiting were spilling out into the dining room leaving us to stand next to tables trying to eat. I asked if we could get a call when our table was ready so we could at least sit in the car. They said their phone was broken and could not. We ended up walking around the corner to eat at Tony C’s and had a great dining experience there.

    we booked reservations in advance for Valentine’s Day to show up to find out they overbooked and had a hour wait.  about 30 couples were standing around waiting for tables. You would think they might offer a free drink or an appetizer as compensation, but nothing.  went to bar to get a drink to only meet an annoyed bartender and had to wait 15 minutes for water.  meal at itself was just OK. i

    Not happy with my experience at all. I made a "reservation" three weeks before Valentine's day. We walked in ten minutes before our reservation and we were told "everybody in the room" has reservations and that the wait is 40.minutes. We ended up waiting 65 minutes to get a table. They indicated we could wait only in the entrance, which has room for maybe 10 people shoulder to shoulder, or we could wait in line for the bar. According to the front desk their phone was not working so you could not wait outside. My guess this was a way to drive business to the bar. After we sat down and ordered our appetizers and drinks the waiter came back to our table and slams the bread in front of us. They did not bus the appetizer dishes and then made us wait 20 minutes after we completed our dinner for the check. I will never go to this restaurant again. The food was a 6 on the scale of 10. By the way after waiting 65 minutes they put us in a back room that felt like a conference room. Horrible experience.
