"Blue Door is a Southern restaurant where you can get comfort food like fried chicken, or go for more creative seasonal options like duck confit with parsnips. It’s located in the carriage house of the Biggs Mansion, and the inside has the kind of elegant, old-world feel a modern building just can’t fake. There’s also a great courtyard patio, which is one of the most serene outdoor seating areas in the city. It’s good for date night, dinner with the parents, or even a relaxing meal with good friends." - adrian kane, nick allen
"The restaurant that occupies the old Table 52 space holds a few of the old restaurant’s charms with a more accessible feel. Fried chicken and seasonal cocktails are highlights, but chef Art Smith (who previously cooked for Oprah Winfrey) regularly creates new dishes to match the season." - Ashok Selvam
"An American cuisine bistro by Chef Art Smith, located in a historic carriage house." - Kevin Chau
"The courtyard patio at Blue Door is one of the most relaxing outdoor seating areas in the city. So it’s a good place to practice hanging out with someone you can imagine sitting on a front porch with in about 50 years. Come here for seasonal salads and comfort food like fried chicken. Talk about the good old days, when we had to hang up the phone to be on the internet." - adrian kane
