    Food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice. The server was knowledgeable and friendly. Only complaint I have is that it took a while to get our food delivered to our table. We were only a table of 5 and the restaurant was only 1/2 full when we arrived. I am very easy going and adaptable so if I am saying the food service was slow than it was slower than most would be happy with. Maybe it was just a bad night which can happen to us all.

    Excellent food and great service. We celebrated Father's Day with 8 family members and everyone loved their selection for dinner. My husband said it was the best duck breast dinner he has ever had! The Blue Door is wonderful!

    This is an adorable place, with great ambiance. This was my first time having dinner at Blue Door and I was really disappointed. I ordered the short rib, which came with polenta and carrots. The polenta was undercooked and crunchy. The short rib itself was extremely tender but the sauce on top had a flavor that almost made it taste like the meat had gone bad... or was starting to. There was also a topping of crispy pancetta (at least I think that's what it was) and fried garlic (at least I think that's what it was). The garlic was burnt so I scraped it all off. For $45, I really expected better, especially since their breakfast is SO GOOD. I'll be back to Blue Door but I think I'll stick to breakfast.

    One of our favorite restaurants in the greater Cleveland area. It’s so incredibly good as are the drinks. Service is wonderful too. The intimate atmosphere makes for a great experience.

    Great food and service! A full house and hard surfaces made it noisy and conversations difficult.
