“ Very generous portions. Fresh fish and well seasoned. Seafood gumbo needed more seasoning. Thai mussels were superb. Very friendly and efficient service. The prices are reasonable for the quality and the restaurant atmosphere is very inviting. ”
“ Wow! Best kept secret in the Hill Country Galleria! Has always been a great spot for happy hour; however, their recently revamped menu and deals are off the charts awesome! Over several visits, I have made my through the entire app menu. I highly recommend the crispy ribs, curried mussels, truffled beef tips...heck all of it! Scrumptious! And of course raw oysters when in season. Peel and eat shrimp is an easy choice as well. HAPPY HOUR available in entire restaurant and patio Mon - Fri 3-6pm AND reversed on Fri & Sat 9-10pm. 1/2 off apps, oysters, pae shrimp...and draft beers, select wines by the glass, and their killer sig cocktails. A nice place to enjoy lunch or dinner, but the HH is what keeps me coming back. I'm hooked (pun intended; haha). They moved to a different spot years ago in the HCG. Still nice interior ambience. The large side patio is great for outdoor dining and always has a breeze during the warm months. ”
“ Good service! Great drinks. A relaxing place to have some delicious food and sit outside a warm night. (Inside isnt bad either!) Dog friendly- for those with a pet along. My dirty martini was outstanding... may have had two. ”
“ My wife and I have made Cafe Blue our secret linnner drop in over the past few months. Great folks and we split a couple of apps with drinks. Tonight we hit it off with their wonderful bartender. Lost her name unfortunately but she was so kind and helpful to those who've been in the restaurant business like us. Can't wait to come back! ”
“ If you haven't been to the BOGO brunch on Saturdays then you are missing out! The seafood bennnysbate delicious and every table gets free beignets! ”
“ OMG. The lunch I had was great! The waitress, Sara was very polite and friendly. A typical college student trying to get by! I had the Ruben sandwich and a bowl of gumbo. Both were excellent. I would recommend this restaurant for anybody. ”
“ Really good place for a date-nite. A bit noisy for a "romantic" date, but still a good place to dine for two. Took my wife here and really enjoyed our visit. The place is very nicely decorated and lit. They have large glass doors that slide open for fresh air to breeze through the entire dining area. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Our waitress took good care of us throughout the night. My wife had the Rosemary Pasta w/ Shrimp dish and some Clam Chowder - which she loved. I had the Jerk Chicken Quesadilla for an appetizer, a house salad, and the Blackened Mahi-Mahi Tacos - all of which were plentiful and delicious! While we didn't have any "adult" beverages, the bill came out to about $50/person, but this place is worth it. Will definitely return to try some of the other menu items - of which there are plenty to choose from. ”
“ What a nice place. Service was solid and food was so tasty. Its pretty nuvo in decor but it really works. I had the shrimp scampi and it was very different than expected In a good way. Grab a bite here. You'll be happy you did. ”
“ Revisited Cafe Blue a few times in 2023; decided a follow up was warranted. A nice brunch with friends awhile back and the day before Thanksgiving GF and I ventured in for a late lunch. Still one of my fave appetizers in Austin is the Thai Style Mussels with Red Curry Broth. Armed with a $150 gift card (thanks mom!) we stared with Oysters on the Half Shell, Oysters Rockefeller, and Calamari. Raw were delicious paired with CB's play on traditional minionette. Tangy flavors of green apple and jalapeno vinegar; cocktail sauce was good too. Rockefeller dish was also on point. GF doesn't like raw enjoyed the flavors of this cooked dish. Calamari was above average; perhaps the largest rings I've seen in a good while. Asian style dipping sauce was appreciated but if you're used to marinara it was there too. Yes, we ordered more food if you can believe it. Gotta blow out that gift card! My Mahi dish was prepared "Oscar Style" at my request. That's Bearnaise and Lump Crab Meat if you're in the know. Solid dish paired with requested Mashed Potatoes and Spinach. Service was attentive but there were minor issues. A table arrived after we sat down and got bread immediately; we had to ask for it. Table could have been pre bussed a bit quicker. We stared at empty appetizer plates for a good while. Prices aren't too inflated for what you get; four stars. ”
