I enjoyed a nice lunch this afternoon at Blu Fig.
The establishment is relatively spacious; it has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The place is clean and well maintained. The decor is simple and very low key. I went during the day and sat outside which was decorated plain as well. A recommendation I have is to change the outdoor seats; the metal seat is uncomfortable and it sinks so far back that you're far away from the table making it hard to eat, so you really have to scoot up all the way to the front of your seat. Ambience rate 7/10.
My boyfriend and I ordered the...
1. Hummus and Tzatziki Spreads with Pita Bread as an appetizer:
Both spreads tasted like your basic greek spreads, nothing special. However, they do give a good amount of pita bread and spread for both. But I wouldn't say it's worth $7 each, maybe $5 at most. Rate 6/10.
2. Portabella Ciabatta Sandwich:
The pesto flavor they use is the best pesto I've ever tasted. You can tell that it is definitely home made. It pairs very nicely with the melted mozzarella cheese and yummy mushrooms. Rate 10/10.
3. Buffalo Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich:
The chicken was delicious, crunchy, and plentiful. The gorgonzola cheese made the sandwich very flavorful. The buffalo sauce was just average, nothing special. The overall sandwich was good, but I've tasted better buffalo chicken before. Rate 8.5/10.
*The ciabatta bread used for the sandwiches is the best part. The bread is perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and such a generous portion which leaves me satisfied.
*The side salad they include in their sandwich dishes is alright, it's just lettuce with balsamic dressing, nothing special.
The prices for their sandwiches are very fair ($12) considering the big portion size and how good the food tastes.
The staff were nice and the service was moderately fast. Service rate 9/10.
Overall, Blu Fig is a great casual restaurant for friends and family!
