The Blue Bottle Cafe

Fancy food in a casual atmosphere. Parking: They have a parking lot but it's not quite big enough for the number of tables. However, there is on-street parking, so it's not an issue.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Blue Bottle. 4 of us shared duck strudel, gnocchi and arugola salad appetizers. Delicious, every single one of them. Our main dishes didn't disappoint, either. Scallops were perfect, steaks were very tender and came thinly pre-sliced, and we LOVED the baby "lyonnaise" potatoes that were pan-fried with blue cheese that gave them an amazing flavor. Monk fish was very well presented and both the flavor as well as its texture were great. Shared Profiteroles were kindly served on individual plates, we also had a very good Banana Foster with a caramel sauce - it was an unexpected dessert (we actually ordered apple strudel ). Service was very attentive, and we really appreciated a decanter for our very good bottle of St Julien (gotta love BYOB!) The restaurant was well worth the 40min drive! We'll be back!

Feb 2024 - Another great dinner here. House-made gnocchi with Jersey tomatoes, cream, white wine, and grana padano was delicious. The Duck Confit Strudel and Baby Arugula salad appetizers were equally wonderful. Dinner was pan seared Day Boat Scallops, perfectly prepared and a Flat Iron Steak with roasted potato's, onions, mushroom, and blue cheese and shallot sauce .... spectacular! And even though there was no room for desert - we had the Profiteroles with Caramel Sea Salt and hot fudge .... you'll find a way to make them fit in! Again, busy on a Wednesday night - Make reservations! Dec 2023 -- Great dinner here with two friends. Appetizers were delicious and good portions. The main dishes were the same. Though I had Horseradish Crusted Salmon, perfectly prepared, one of my friends shared a piece of his Hanger Steak which was superb. Dessert was definitely not needed but that didn't stop us from sharing one that topped off a great dining experience. Only distraction was the noise level being a bit high but it was a Friday night and every seat was occupied ... For good reason! BYOB.
