    We had a nice Mother's Day brunch. The service was very good and ambiance nice. The meals were good but any add-ons were expensive. The Bloody Mary drink was very bland. Overall, we had a nice experience.

    The focaccia was visually appealing, flavorful, and had a perfect texture. The Keema entree was hearty, complex, and overall delicious!

    My wife and I celebrated my birthday at Blue River Bistro. I had their salmon plate and enjoyed it very much. Service, ambience and noise level were great. We Would come back again.

    Excellent service. Lovely and lively atmosphere but not too loud. It was a big meal after a major snowstorm that had almost stranded us on the highway. It was not cheap - but a special meal on our holiday. We do recommend it and the great interiors, food, wine selections and easy parking.

    As always the food and device were excellent. Whenever we are in the area we always book a reservation at Blue River Bistro. We have yet to try any other place in the area, that’s how much we love dining there.
