    We are regulars at Cafe Blue and have never had a bad experience, until last night. Obviously, they were short handed.Our server was not fluent in speaking English and had not been trained very well. It took 15 minutes for her to show up to take drink orders, then she got my cocktail order wrong. I ordered Blackened redfish, but she put the order in as just Redfish. She didn’t check on us again until we had finished eating. The food was very good, but service was bad. Hopefully they will get the problem fixed soon.

    We like this place bur our server forgot about my appetizer, and when the bill was presented, I had to remind her to add a cocktail to it.

    Expect to be rushed and asked to vacate your table after 90 minutes even when other tables are empty and no one is waiting. No relaxing evening here. They are all about the turn. So disappointed with our visit.

    We were in a booth which was very cosy and quiet. I got the daily grilled fresh fish with rice pilaf and sautéed spinach - delicious.

    I had a beautiful lobster asparagus omelette. My friend had an eggs Benedict with a hard boiled egg. How do you poach a hard boiled egg? Second time this happened. Service was good.

    The waitress was nice but could not answer our questions about brunch so went to ask someone and it was at least 30 minutes, then brought coffees but not cream and it took 10 minutes. Meals took even longer. Food was great as usual but service was not anywhere as good as usual.

    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.
