    Food was great, we have eaten here many times. We had a 4:45 reservation so few tables were taken. I asked to move away from the door and the hostess gave me a hard time. Overall good experience but unnecessary drama.

    We have had good experiences at Blue River Bistro but last night was not good. Our server was great. The manager did comp our daughter's meal. I have the special, Wagyu Ribeye Steak. It was a bad cut of meat, not Wagyu. We will be back and believe they just had a bad night.
