    Enjoyed a Saturday lunch with ceviche, the salmon salad and the trout piccata. Our food came out promptly and was delicious. We enjoy the beignets as well. Would recommend for a quick bite before shopping the galleria, it’s also located across from the play area so great for families

    We had reservations so no issues waiting. Ordered the Kickass Seabass which is always melt in your mouth delicious. Also ordered the special broiled scallops so we could share both dishes. The scallops were equally delicious and melt in your mouth. Both dishes came with flavorful grilled veggies. We loved it all. Highly recommend Cafe Blue for great fresh fish and seafood.

    We went last minute to check out this restaurant for dinner. The weather was perfect and we were able to sit on the patio where it was breezy and much quieter than in the main part of the restaurant. I had made a reservation and we were sat quickly which is nice. Our server, Sarah, was great! Knowledgeable about the food and wine and gave us just the right amount of attention. She was the best! Overall, we have dubbed Cafe Blue our new favorite place to go for dinner. Anxious to try their brunch as well! I highly recommend coming here!

    Our entire table of 4 really enjoyed their meal. 2 guests had clam chowder an they said it was among the best they have ever had. It was served piping hot. The roll basket is delicious. Service was attentive and enthusiastic. The pace was very good as well. The dishes all had very good sides, especially the rice pilaf. Simply grilled redfish and swordfish were perfectly cooked and nice large pieces. I had the redfish with a Cajun sauce and crawfish- also excellent. Large piece with just the right seasoning and sauce. Did not overwhelm the smooth taste and flakiness of the fish. Finished off with a key lime pie to rival the best (except Joe’s Stone Crab, which has no equal). The prices for all were reasonable for the quality and quantity.

    I feel it was unusual, but they had a large party come and did not want to pay for a separate room, so took up most of dinning room. There was not enough help. I think it was a manager that took our order. We had reservations. Waited much longer than usual, order was wrong and cold. As I said, it was a bad situation that needed to be handled differently. They may have made good money that morning, but at the risk of letting regular customers know they are not important.

    There were 3 of us for my wife's birthday at the Bee Cave location. Our server was excellent and attentive. My coconut shrimp was excellent, as usual. The other lady's salmon was outstanding, as usual. My wife's steak was very over cooked and had to be sent back. The new steak was good. Our server handled it well and gave us a free dessert. I tend not to order meat at what tends to be a fish-oriented menu. We have eaten at the Bee Cave Cafe Blue many, many times and this is the first time we were not 100% satisfied. That will rarely happen anywhere, but once in a while it does. This steak was a 1 off. We had a nice birthday dinner which is what we expected.

    Love the Thai mussels! I order them as my main entre. They are just the right amount and never disappoint. A few did not open so I was left with wanting more. I mentioned it to the server but it went to deaf ears. Other than that, her service was excellent for our birthday dinner.

    We had a 6:15pm reservation. Arrived and seated early at 6:00pm. Main meal didn’t come out until 6:48pm. As a party of 2 and a simple order and 1 appetizer, we were disappointed that it took this long. We were told to space out the appetizer and meal. We eat here regularly and this is not the norm. Other than an apology there were no other attempts to improve or remedy the experience. This is the 2nd time a poor experience was had and only an apology was given. The first was a glass being dropped by staff with a beverage that spilled on my clothing and purse. The staff asked if I was okay and apologized, but beyond that no other attempt to improve the situation and client experience.

    Always a great option, whether for a couples dinner out, meeting friends for happy hour or gathering the family for brunch. Ask for the back or the private room if noise is an issue The brunch is fabulous, omelets and beignets are the best in town . Shrimp tacos and shrimp and grits are winners. Good wine list at reasonable prices.

    Great eggs Benedict. I like my eggs poached hard which many chefs do not like but they cooked them perfect for me. They bring you a benign to start your brunch. The mimosa flight that online said was $30 was $38. A large price increase. Other than that all was great.

    Café Blue has been one of my regular restaurants that has always been tried and true. I don't know what has happened, but it will be a long time before I return. Everything about the experience was not acceptable this go round. A coworker ordered lunch from there the next day and it was the same poor quality food. I wish Café Blue luck in finding a good chef, manager and staff to get back to the top tier of restaurants in Bee Caves.
