Bleu Bistro

You step into Bleu Bistro and are surrounded by curtains, as each little booth/seating area is in it's own unique nook. There is a laid back yet romantic feel to the place, as if you've stumbled into a private backstage area, a place where secrets are welcome to be shared with your table mates.

Alida had a lightly-spicy hearty mac and cheese while I had a phenomenal wasabi grilled cheese, with three dipping sauces (top two favs were the mango based and wasabi based ones). The sandwich itself has a wasabi spread. I am a complete pansy when it comes to wasabi and only put the tiniest amount in my soy sauce with sushi. This wasabi was a perfect level - it helped to enrich the flavor of the grilled cheese without being overpowering.

The drinks were a bit pricey (yet inventive) and we stayed with water. The waitress was funny (if a bit distracted). A great atmosphere for a romantic date or simply a fun intimate conversation between friends. I definitely will be going back for this grilled cheese on a regular basis. The Mac n Cheese is one of Alida's favorites in town, but I care for a more smooth creamy white mac n cheese rather than this particular sharper style.
