    We love going to the Blue Door, tonight was just ok. The fish & chips were incredibly greasy and the gnocchi were an odd texture … almost tough. Everything else was great, but still a slight disappointment.

    Excellent choice of entrees. Went on a Thursday evening and really enjoyed all the specials. We had the burger, scallops and lamb. All were delicious. Definitely recommend for dinner.

    We celebrated our 23rd anniversary here. I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it was overdone. My husband ordered the Reuben sandwich. It was way too much meat on the sandwich. We had an Expresso martini for dessert that was delicious! The outside of the building really needs some TLC. It doesn’t match the inside ambience. Service was just satisfactory.

    This is our second time enjoying the dinner service. This time we tried the roasted chicken, prepared as described, succulent, crispy and delicious. My dining companions had the fish and chips, a winner, and and tue veal parm, also a winner albeit the large portion. We had the chocolate stout cake for dessert, it was light, oh so chocolaty, the toasted meringue was wonderful. I also has a glass of of the Syrah suggested to pair with the chicken, and it was the right choice for me

    This has quickly become a favorite after moving to the area. The food is always interesting, inventive and delicious. The lobster bisque was amazing - our grandson even loved it! I appreciate that the menu changes often - something new to try on each visit. The service is outstanding - truly knowledgeable, professional and kind servers. A special place.
