Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cafe Blue at Hill Country Galleria is celebrated for its "outstanding seafood" and varied brunch menu, offering a cozy ambiance and excellent service, notably from staff like Gray and Maren. While the food consistently impresses, with favorites like the salmon salad and trout almondine, service during peak times can be inconsistent.

    The place was relatively quiet but we were with family and really enjoyed the quality of the food, the wine and the great service.

    Wish I could give negative stars. Just had Easter brunch there and it was absolutely terrible. Apparently a reservation only gets you a sad table in the very back room which is not even part of the restaurant. You certainly don't get good service there. Upon arrival, the people at the hostess stand seemed confused and flustered. When I complained about our table the "gentleman" (perhaps a manager?) only sounded put out. The brunch buffet was bad. The food was not even warm, let alone hot, the offerings were offensive considering the per person cost. The staff didn't seem to know if they should help serve or stand there...as if they had randomly been brought in off the street. Items that you think of with cafe blue were noticeably absent from the buffet. There was no boiled shrimp or shellfish of any kind, no crab cakes, literally nothing related to their regular menu. Nothing that would be Easter Sunday brunch special. I've had better breakfast at the free Hampton Inn breakfast. The omelette bar was lacking. Precooked food not warm enough, no bacon or sausage to add...but there was chicken for your omelette? Maybe they had left over chicken from Saturday they didn't want to waste? Our waiter overcharged us for # of buffets, glad we noticed before paying. This was so disappointing and so bad I wish I could get my $ back or that we would've just left the minute we bit into our cold eggs benedict. Massive, massive fail. Guess Cafe Blue needed to cut costs and over charge in order to make their rent?

    We have been to Cafe Blue many times, but this was our first visit for brunch. The menu choices are varied, and we and our guest all enjoyed the food we ordered (eggs Benedict Arnold, blue plate breakfast, and shrimp & grits). Our waiter Rafe was excellent and had a great sense of humor to boot!
