    Every dining experience is made better by the right waitperson. Tonight we had one of the most engaging and dynamic experiences thanks to Maren. She was perfect and her personality added to our celebration of our son’s birthday. We started with crab cakes ~ wonderful. My husband had the Norwegian Halibut special, I had Grilled Salmon and our son chose the Salmon Avocado Toast Salad. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Topping it off with Amy’s Mexican vanilla ice cream was the best ending we could have imagined for our meal. Cafe Blue is a great place to meet friends, enjoy a special occasion or just go to watch a game in the bar area. It never disappoints. Oh! And the dinner bread…scrumptious.

    My best friend's widow and I enjoyed a lengthy dinner and visit on a recent Wednesday evening at this restaurant. The calamari and trout almondine were very tasty, the service was outstanding (informed and attentive without hovering) and the half-price wine was a nice surprise. I highly recommend Cafe Blue, especially on a Wednesday night.

    Had brunch with a girlfriend there who was visiting out of state. It was really delicious. I had the Eggs Benedict Florentine and she had one of the waffle menu items. Server was very attentive even though she was slammed with full tables of guests. I definitely need to put Cafe Blue- Hill Country Galleria on my rotation of “ go to” restaurants!

    Very interesting and varied menu. The gumbo was superior and coming from New Orleans that says a lot. The Rockefeller oysters were great. The Ahi tuna salad entrée was really good. Great grouper and flounder entrées as well. The service was excellent. Maren did an outstanding job.

    The food was very salty and service was not great. We have been going for many years but the quality of the food including the bread which we usually love was less than usual. We had to ask our server 3 times for water and bread and eventually we got another server to bring it. Disappointed

    Food and service was awesome. Requested outside seating on this app, but when we go there, all outside tables were full and we had to sit inside. They told us that you cannot select your seating.
