First time dining experience. Thought I’d love it but was disappointed in food taste. Ordered off specials menu. Tried bbq chicken sandwich which came with a macaroni salad and a burger with fries. My chicken had a bit of fat or some slimy parts and hoped it may have been a bit pounded and trimmed to be more even in thickness for ease of eating. Turned into a bit of challenge to eat and messy with ingredients sliding around and out of bun when eating. Bbq sauce wasn’t a great flavor for me. The macaroni salad was really nice looking and had a good flavor but the texture of the pasta was odd. I let other person try it and agreed it was too thick and chewy so I couldn’t eat it. The waitress didn’t even notice. Thankfully there were enough fries with burger and I was able to eat some of those. Buns were more delicate and light, would have enjoyed a bun that held the ingredients together while eating but know each restaurant wants to be unique. Buns were a bit too toasty as you can see from pictures. Heard chef wasn’t there at time of visit.
Fantastic food. The chefs are the heroes here! Poor service. Very nice manager. Waiting staff and barman must improve their level of service. Tip the kitchen, not the waiting staff!
Just absolutely an amazing experience, from the friendly and helpful staff to the great cooks and support personnel making sure that they're amazing dishes are very much so consistent and tasty. We were lucky to come across this place as we were attending a wedding and they had their dinner here, I was expecting some middle of the road bar food at this establishment but I was completely wrong. They are Cajun pasta is truly a can't miss dish. The care and attention that they place with making that dish so delicious in balance in each and every bite is a work of art. Now don't think that this is only a good restaurant it is much more as they have a great bar that comes up with some of the best craft cocktails that you will ever experience. The drinks that we had were amazing and the things that they did with herbal along with different flavors really set things off nicely along with a presentation that is top notch. I wish I can tell you a negative about this restaurant for you to be aware of, but I don't have anything negative to offer so please enjoy this restaurant in all of its food and beverage glory and let me know how was your experience. This is a truly must enjoy restaurant with big portions and fair pricing, something you just don't get a lot of these days.
Truly elegant & delectable food. Beautiful & Airy Atmosphere. The space is very cool. From the Moroccan reminiscent tiles on the high walls, to the satisfying wooden tables and counters, to the decorative but also functional pots hanging in the kitchen, this place is a breath of fresh air wrapped in a hip vibe. The food is not only beautiful, but sophisticatedly scrumptious. Our very friendly and relatable server, Alex, did us a big favor when he said "Cheat code: the creme brulee is phenomenal." I ordered it, and after the delight of breaking the caramelized cap, and putting the first bite into my mouth, I exclaimed "Good Lord, that's good!" Was it ever! And my pal's Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich was grubbin' as well. I loved the Mushroom Rigatoni I ordered, and thoroughly enjoyed the Brussel Sprouts appetizer. The pomegranate sauce was a perfect sweet counterbalance to the salt in the dish. I highly recommend this place. The only downside is that it is so good, and surrounded by other great venues at the Barlow, that parking is tricky. Still, it's good to have a reward as wonderful as Blue Ridge Kitchen, for overcoming the challenge of parking. Everything was so fresh and fun. This is truly civilized dining at its best!
We chose to eat from the Restaurant Week price fix menu ($25). The brussel sprouts were delicious. I had the fish and chips and my friend had the rigatoni with mushrooms. I wouldn't get the fish and chips again as they were somewhat greasy (the fries were great) The rigatoni was really good. Our server, Dante, took really good care of us and was very personable.
Me encata ir a comer a este restaurant es lo mejor
