The food is pretty good. Having lived in Europe for many years I can say that this is standard fare, not more. We had a 'go to restaurant' in Belgium that was very similar except the Frits were better and here you must pay extra here for the substitution. Bleu is a bit pricey for what it is, and that said, there are a couple of major deal breakers. Firstly, calling for a reservation on a special occasion we request a table by the window and (every time, many times) when we arrive the maître d'hôtel tries to give us the worst table in the house, even when the place is empty. Then we have have to have the big discussion in front of other patrons and review the notes on the reservation, quite embarrassing, and ultimately compromise on a less than desirable table. There is simply no reason to be treated this badly after going there for so many years. I don't know why we put up with it for so long. We have spent quite a bit of money there over the years and always tipped our servers very well, it wasn't their fault. I have so 'had it' with that game, that person. The ambiance is is ok unless you are sitting next to a high traffic route where you get brushed or bumped by every server going back and forth. One note on the ambiance, it is a bit of a spectacle watching people acting very pretentiously in a venue that is far from 'haute'. For the rest, the service is good, except for the maitre d who tries to preface every visit with a downer, even with family from Europe visiting. (they know it as regular fare). The fillet is prime with great pepper cream sauce and the moose is very good too. I will miss them, but just not willing to go through that one more time.
