We took friends as our guests. Honestly, if it had just been my husband and myself, I would have complained right then. The French fries were inedible. May not seem like a big deal, but my friend's favorite thing is fried shrimp and French fries. She loves that combination! That is the main reason we took her to Cafe Blue - so that she could get her favorite meal. The fries looked like they were from the day before, and cold! Shriveled up, dark little pieces of potato. I would have been ashamed to send them out. They were with my lobster roll, and I could not eat mine either.
