The Blue Bicycle A Bistro

Wow! What a hidden gem in Dawsonville. Located off the beaten path behind the outlet mall this is a great place. Stopped by today on our way back to the ATL, its been here since 2020, we had no idea. The atmosphere is next level, the food and menu is next level, and so is the service. I added the waghu buger, great meat flavor and the toppings brought it all together. This is our new goto when passing through.

We enjoyed a lovely surprise date night here on a Friday night and luckily they were able to add us in. I would definitely recommend making a reservation. There were so many regulars, and it wasn't hard to tell why. The food was fantastic. I ordered the steak and my hubby ordered the Pork Osso Bucco. The atmosphere is not pretentious. I was concerned with the pricing I'd be under dressed, but it has a cozy feel. Julia was our server and an absolute delight. She made us feel at home and gave us honest recommendations. We will absolutely be back!

Last visited was in 2024 and was very disappointed. But decided to try again - big mistake! Booked party of 4 march 5th at 7pm. Arrived with few customers in restaurant with no others arriving after us - should have been an indicator for what was to come! Server was knowledgeable but left us with far too long periods. I ordered what I was told was last rack of lamb. Most would know lamb is served pink not overcooked to over well done. Server did not ask how I wanted the rack to be prepared. Any chef would be appalled to have presented such a meal! Spent almost two hundred $$$. I will not return again no better than two years ago! To be fair my wife loved her crab cakes and other couple were just ok with their selections. Seems no one cares what comes out of the kitchen - too ba

First the good. The trout was fantastic and cooked to perfection and seasoned wonderfully. My waiter was very thoughtful and very kind. I was impressed how he graciously handled a customer who was being rude. The space is very cute inside with a colorful mural in one room and a little more fancy in the second room. Now the not great. I never like QR code menus. I can see it for a take out restaurant but not a place referring to itself as a bistro. I ordered the stuffed date appetizer. One date still had a pit in it. I could have cracked a tooth. The bacon was burnt and hard to chew. The salad it came out on had rotted pieces of lettuce. If you are stuffing a date with cheese how do you miss its large pit? It takes a second to pull bad lettuce out of a mix. I could see missing this if you

I firmly believe in transparency in reviews so after 8 years of eating regularly at BB I’m a little disappointed in my last two visits. The only reason I’m giving it a 4 is due to the great staff service quality and in hopes the new owners read this and adjust accordingly. During my last two visits, ‘most’ of the food wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t the same quality prior to the transfer of ownership. The mushroom Gnocchi app was missing the mix of normal exotic shrooms and it was under cooked. The quality of the steak was also lacking…too much gristle. During our previous visit we didn’t even eat the mushroom/gnocchi app it was so bad. I certainly hope the new owners move the bar back to where it was before the ownership transition. As always, the service was outstanding so hats off to th
