Blue Dahlia Bistro

We had the Watermelon Gazpacho and it was insanely good and fresh!! Filled with watermelon, cucumber, red onion Mango and cilantro. Then we had the Egg Salad Tartine and the Humuus Tartine, which both arrived with more delicious fresh watermelon and cucumber slices. Both were oh so good! We ate every single bite. I had the peach cobbler, and my husband had the peanut butter brownie (which was a very generous portion). Both were divine!! Service was spectacular! Attentive, courteous, kind, and knowledgeable. But that gazpacho-wowsers!!!

Nice little place. Was a little hot inside while we were there. Family style dining. I had the French Dip sandwich, which was good. I would like to have had maybe a little salad or some chips to come with it instead of a couple pieces of lettuce. It took a bit to get service but overall I would stop in again.

It's not often I give a full five star review where it's food service and atmosphere all put into one. The blue Dahlia Cafe styles itself as a French bistro and delivers on that promise. My partner and I came for lunch on a Saturday. We arrived a little after 1:30 p.m. and the entire menu was available. Breakfast options, brunch options, lunch options galore. Not only were the prices reasonable, the portions are if anything overly generous. We had a basket of bread which came with two types of jam, and Nutella. There is also olive oil and high quality balsamic vinegar at the table. Although there were many excellent brunch options such as blintzes, custard French toast, crepes both sweet and savory... My partner and I opted for the open face tartine sandwiches. I had the smoked salmon, and she opted for the tuna salad. They came served on a plate made of slate stone, four slices, heaped generously with a side salad and fresh fruit. In this case, grapes. The total for both of us eating was $35. In this day and age, that is an insane bargain for the quality and quantity you get. Come here for brunch, come here for lunch, you won't leave hungry and you very likely will be very happy.
