    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.

    I ordered the Chilean sea bass and it was rubbery. My husband had the chicken and it was raw in the center. They did comp his meal, but we won’t go back any time soon.

    One of our oysters had an issue and we were a little unsure if it was safe to eat (we have oysters often and have never sent one back) - instead of getting a new one, our server just said sorry and walked away. Was pretty disappointed about that - the rest of the food was decent and the atmosphere was good. Bathrooms were unfortunately not the cleanest.

    Food and timeliness was great. We had a room to ourselves so it was nice. Usually the indoor restaurant is too loud

    Cafe Blue is one of our favorites. The food, this time, was not up to their normal standards. We ordered the Eggs Benedict Arnold brunch. The poached eggs were undercooked, the crab cakes were much heavier on the onions than normal, and the sauce was minimal, compared to the norm. It being a beautiful fall afternoon, we opted to sit outside. The inside of the restaurant was busy and noisy, so this was an excellent alternative. The service, as always, was gracious and excellent. We did not mention our disappointment to our server, so that’s on us, but next time, we will be more forthright if we’re disappointed.

    We had the classic eggs Benedict brunch with coffee and champagne drinks. The food was great. The only glitch was they were having trouble with the coffee maker so we had to wait for refills a couple of times.
