    Overall, the food was very good. Service was less than expected, but the service team seemed stretched, and I don't think that was their issue as much as a reflection on the restaurant management to have the right numbers of service team members on hand.

    Mother's day brunch was outstanding. Great food and short lines at the food stations. Restaurant interior is very stylish and great art work.

    Wonderful brunch. Our table was set up when we arrived. The restaurant is beautiful. Our server was extremely kind and helpful. We each had a brunch breakfast plate and the food was delicious. We also shared a bottle of champagne and our server was so kind to bring us a chiller to keep it in and he would check on us often to keep our glasses full! It was a wonderful start to our day. We will be back!

    Destiny provided amazing service to us as we celebrated our friend’s milestone 70th birthday here. She helped us pick a lovely assortment of oysters, suggested an excellent bottle of red wine, and brought a delicious decorated key lime pie surprise for dessert. The sea bass, ahi tuna and trout were excellent. We are so thankful the celebration dinner went so well!!!

    Wish I could give negative stars. Just had Easter brunch there and it was absolutely terrible. Apparently a reservation only gets you a sad table in the very back room which is not even part of the restaurant. You certainly don't get good service there. Upon arrival, the people at the hostess stand seemed confused and flustered. When I complained about our table the "gentleman" (perhaps a manager?) only sounded put out. The brunch buffet was bad. The food was not even warm, let alone hot, the offerings were offensive considering the per person cost. The staff didn't seem to know if they should help serve or stand there...as if they had randomly been brought in off the street. Items that you think of with cafe blue were noticeably absent from the buffet. There was no boiled shrimp or shellfish of any kind, no crab cakes, literally nothing related to their regular menu. Nothing that would be Easter Sunday brunch special. I've had better breakfast at the free Hampton Inn breakfast. The omelette bar was lacking. Precooked food not warm enough, no bacon or sausage to add...but there was chicken for your omelette? Maybe they had left over chicken from Saturday they didn't want to waste? Our waiter overcharged us for # of buffets, glad we noticed before paying. This was so disappointing and so bad I wish I could get my $ back or that we would've just left the minute we bit into our cold eggs benedict. Massive, massive fail. Guess Cafe Blue needed to cut costs and over charge in order to make their rent?
