Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Blue Door Cafe is a culinary gem in Northeast Ohio, known for its "stellar" food and service. Guests rave about the "perfectly cooked" pasta and "amazing" beef short rib. The menu is creatively crafted with seasonal ingredients, while the homemade desserts, like the chocolate soufflé, are "heavenly." Despite a few concerns about pricing and service consistency, the cafe remains a "must-visit" for its welcoming atmosphere and exceptional dining experience.

    The atmosphere is calm, quiet and intimate. The food has always been great. Upscale twists on classics, and always well executed. The service was great and will always recommend The Blue Door!

    The food was amazing! French onion soup was rich and delicious and the homemade pasta that came with my eggplant Parmesan was exceptional. The eggplant slices were hearty and crispy with a melty interior but the pasta was an unexpected bonus—usually the pasta side is not noteworthy but this time it almost stole the show! Service was great and cocktails are creative and tasty. Cannot wait to return to try other menu selections!

    My wife and I really enjoyed our meals, starting with the French Onion Soup, which was incredible. The Pappardelle Alla Bolognese and the Spaghetti Alla Marinara were both very good as well. Finished our meal with coffee and the Chocolate Souffle...everything was fantastic, as well as the service. We'll be back.

    First time there for dinner, but we have been there several times for breakfast/brunch. Dinner was fantastic. Ambience was great, as it was elegant, but comfortable. Definitely will go back.

    The service was great and the food was really good too. This is our first time going for dinner and it was not a disappointment. We’ve been going for breakfast for quite a long time and always enjoy that as well. Great place. We will definitely be back again.
