Blue Bistro at NASWA Resort

Think of your best dinning experience, what did it include? Exceptional service that made you feel special, creative menu that lived up to expectations and unexpected little things that separated that restaurant from others. I give you, Blue Bistro. No words can describe how amazing our anniversary dinner was tonight, we've smiled all the way home.

We recently revisited The Blue Bistro at the NASWA Resort this summer and I must say that the menu, service and atmosphere keeps improving! The meals have more complexity of flavor and presentation and the "Hope Made" desserts have not lost a step, even though matriarch and pastry chef Hope Makris passed this summer at over 100 years-old! Her recipes live on as "Hope-Inspired!" Worth every calorie! The service is friendly and caring, making sure everything is just right. The atmosphere turns from restaurant to lounge later in the evening as live music creates the ideal atmosphere for that after-dinner drink. Love visiting here and the waterfront view is always captivating!

This would not have been the same experience without our server/waitress Sashaye. She had one of those personalities no matter what you went through that day it was going to be ok and she would make pains to take care of you no matter what she’s done that day too. Smile and laughter filled her eyes. We have had such a rough couple weeks and She was great entertainment and very sweet to us. Let us get to the food part of this rant. They have these bread/cakes that had a few herbs baked into it and were served alongside the oil with fresh grated cheese and cracked pepper. The seafood risotto was a decadent meal. They should take pains to remove all the shrimp shells but otherwise quite a delish meal. We got truffle fries because we are truffle freeks which they didn’t disappoint and truly

The food was absolutely phenomenal and the drinks were delicious here. My whole group enjoyed the food. We could tell our server was new and still in training and the place was packed on a Friday night so we don't blame him for a slightly long wait for the bill. The atmosphere was decent, there was live music that was slightly loud, but the staff were courteous and kind and food came in a reasonable time. I would recommend making a reservation, the place sees a lot of business at night.

We had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is warm and pretty, the waitstaff was attentive and so professional and I felt right at home. The food was fantastic and a great value. I will be back again soon.
