Took a while to get our table even though we had a reservation. But to be honest I think it was because people were enjoying the ambiance so much they weren’t leaving, making it hard to turn tables. We understood this once we were seated. It’s a great atmosphere. The food matched the vibes. I recommend the red snapper crudo, gnocchi, and fennel salad. But you can’t go wrong with anything. It was incredible! Definitely will be back. What a hidden gem.

Tucked away behind lush hedges and cobalt-hued shutters, The Blue Door in Palm Beach isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a passport. From the moment you step onto their outdoor terrace, the world slows down. Whitewashed walls, terracotta pots overflowing with herbs, and flickering candlelight transport you straight to the Mediterranean coast—whether it’s Mykonos, Positano, or the shores of the French Riviera, you’ll feel like you’re dining in a seaside village. The outdoor space is the crown jewel. Palm fronds sway above like lazy fans while the scent of rosemary, grilled seafood, and citrus drift through the salt-tinged air. There’s an effortless elegance here: linen tablecloths, soft music, and just enough breeze to kiss your shoulders while you sip on an icy glass of rosé. The menu is a love letter to Mediterranean simplicity. Crudo arrives in a tomato jus. among heirloom tomatoes and basil that could’ve been picked from the garden minutes ago. And the housemade pasta? The Cacio e pepe Gnocci was Delicate, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—it melts in your mouth. The scallops are simply sublime with farm fresh vegetables. Even dessert was reminiscent of a perfect French meal: think valhrona dark chocolate in the perfect soufflé with vanilla bean crème anglaise. The service is warm and attentive without being overbearing. It’s clear the staff has been trained not just to serve food, but to help you linger—to let you believe, for an hour or two, that you’re far from the bustle of Palm Beach and somewhere magical on the Med. The Blue Door isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory waiting to be made. Whether you’re there for a romantic date, a celebratory dinner, or just a quiet escape with a glass of wine, it delivers escapism with flavor, finesse, and undeniable charm.

My wife and I went for the first time this week and we were very impressed. The food was divine and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable, with our table being cleared often and thoughtfully. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The space is open and bright, reminding us that we are near the ocean. I very rarely give a 5-star rating. They deserve it.

This is a totally unsolicited review. We had the best meal that we've have had in a very long time tonight at The Blue Door. The Snapper Crudo, the Steal Frites, and the Branzino were fantastic. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were true incredible. Well done staff and chefs!

This place is a hidden gem in West Palm/ Antique Row. The service is incredible with multiple people serving each table. The food was very good and was served quickly. I loved my mocktail and the pistachio ice cream was a real win. Yes, it’s outdoors but the fans, landscaping, and portable ac units keep you comfortable. There is a small indoor space that accommodate for people who want air conditioning. I can’t wait to go back here.

Wow. So happy this amazing restaurant opened. Great location-amazing atmosphere, dog friendly, stellar service, and food that leaves you wanting to order more. Enjoyed my evening and look forward to becoming a regular.

Great experience from start to finish. The service was top-notch, with the staff being attentive and welcoming throughout our meal. The menu is fantastic, offering a wide variety of Mediterranean dishes that cater to all tastes. The atmosphere is super cozy, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. We tried the branzino, which was prepared to perfection, the lamb chops was truly out of this world. The snapper crudo and the shrimp escabeche fresh and full of flavors.

This word gets overused and underappreciated, but in one word this restaurant was amazing! We had made reservations (highly recommended) and came to dinner over the weekend with another couple. In all the years of dining out together, I've never known him to say that this was one of the best dining experiences that he'd had in a very long time. Especially since he is very picky and opinionated, but we love him dearly all the same. And all of us agreed that it was wonderful. The restaurant is located on the east side of Dixie Highway. Once you are seated in the open-air covered venue, you seem quite removed from the hustle of the street. There are ceiling fans throughout for cooling, but there was also a slight breeze. Even though we normally crave air conditioning, the inside area which is quite small is very unappealing. We didn't have that much of the menu, but what we did have we really liked. We were given rustic sour dough bread slices along with a black olive tapenade. The bread was addictive. And we took our leftovers home (they made great french toast for breakfast, btw). We enjoyed conversation and adult beverages while waiting for the rest of our food. We wound up sharing an heirloom tomato salad. We weren't planning on sharing, but it was a larger portion than expected and we all wanted to try it. The various tomatoes -- yellow, red, small red cherry -- along with some greens, a few black kalamata olives, a few pieces of hearts of palm, and a wedge of avocado were all bathed in a light vinaigrette. This was a very refreshing start to our meal. After the salad and bread, I had their wild prawns for my main dish. Four huge crustaceans with their shells and heads on. I used the grilled lemon half to douse the greens and prawns, then easily, but slowly, ate two of them with my sharp knife and fork. I took the other two home, as I wanted to save room for some dessert. Both the gentlemen had the mussels appetizer as their main. Each was a nice sized portion and came with a slice of that same sourdough bread. The guys thoroughly enjoyed not only the mussels, but the seasoned broth that had saffron, fennel and tomatoes in it. His wife had their burger. She'd requested it well done -- which she said it actually came cooked that way. Two thinner patties that were perfect along with a plethora of thin, crispy french fries. For dessert, we shared a warm chocolate souffle. We'd been advised by our waiter that it took about 15 minutes to prepare, so we'd ordered one mid-entree. It came out nicely puffed. Another server sprinkled the top with powdered sugar and proceeded to gently break the top crust. She poured some of the creme anglaise from a tiny pitcher over the top. If you like chocolate, this is the dessert for you. Even though they were quite busy, we were able to have a leisurely dinner and never felt rushed. We had excellent service from Adrian who handled all our questions and special requests with grace and patience. The complimentary valet parking was quite convenient. And yes, I want to go back here very soon. Put on your nicest sun dress or fancy Hawaiian shirt and enjoy rubbing shoulders with the "in crowd". You'll have a great meal and thank me later.

I thoroughly enjoyed the blue door! The bright natural light all throughout sets the tone for what's to come- freshness throughout the dining experience! Starting with the heirloom tomato salad, and into the scallops & crab cakes, each dish was so fresh and flavor packed. The cocktails were also refreshing! I enjoyed a Florida Squeeze and my mom had the sparkling rose- both delicious. I'm interested in coming back and sitting at the bar , it looked so cute! But very glad I made a reservation for a table because this place filled up QUICK!

Super nice little hidden gem. We sat outside. It was really nice. Service is amazing, cocktails were perfect! The food was really good except the lobster pasta and mussels. Both meats tasted mushy. That mushroom dish was amazing and the gnocchi probably the best I ever had. Def will return.

Delicious meal! Really amazing service and the ambiance was such a cute vibe for any fun date night or dinner with your friends. The food overall was very good, however the broccolini was a little bitter for my taste even though I usually love a bitter tasting broccolini but that's just personal preference everything else was incredible I've gone back twice for the food and drinks! The espresso martini was amazing for a fun dessert drink!

One of our absolute favorite, go-to, local restaurants in south Florida. The fact that it's virtually walkable from our home is amazing. Tamara manages her staff like a maestro with a PhD in human relations and her Nano runs a perfect team in the kitchen. The food is consistently delicious and they are always ready to accommodate individual tastes and dietary requirements. You never know who you will meet at the next table; a famous artist or author, maybe a high school heartthrob you haven't seen in 50 years, an infamous billionaire, or an entertaining deep sea charter boat captain. The Blue Door opens to the most happening dinner in the Palm Beaches!

Awesome new spot in WPB on Dixie Ave. The place was jamming when we arrived on Friday evening in January. It looks a bit like a pop up as it's basically outdoors on a parking lot, but hey, I am all in! We started off with a few cocktails at the bar while we waited for our 8pm reservation. Everyone was dressed to the 9s and it was busier than August in Montauk (think same crowd too). For food, we went with the caviar dish (very good), the grilled halloumi (a favorite), the heirloom tomato salad (very light and healthy), the main lobster spaghetti (good, mine came out a little warm, not hot. Lobster itself was okay), lamb chops (crowd pleaser), and chocolate ganache dessert for a friend's birthday (delicious). It was a chilly night, so they had a bunch of heat lamps on, which was a nice touch. It does look like it was built on an empty parking lot, which was different, but hey, it's working! Our poor waiter looked like he had quite the night! He was running all over the place!

Grabbed a 6 p.m. reservation at this south Dixie gem on a perfect night with a super moon! Service was impeccable, menu creative, food exquisite. We enjoyed the special golden beet salad with whipped feta, shared the Maine lobster spaghetti. The highlight was Hen of the Woods mushrooms! Open air (small indoor dining space) lovely evening to dine al fresco ---do open The Blue Door!

From the greeting of the valet to the end of our meal! Had a wonderful evening! The food is superb! The Flat Iron chicken! Just fantastic! My husband had the burger and it's definitely one of the best burgers he has had! We love the Blue Door! Great service and delicious cocktails as well!

Came in with my girlfriends for a night out. I do love the blue door concept and the beauty of the restaurant when you walk through. It's an open area with a lot of light tones which gives it a sleek look. We sat on the patio area in the back which gave us some sense of privacy. The server was very sweet and accommodating. He seemed to have helping hands throughout the night, from dropping food to clearing the table. However my rating is based mostly on the food which we felt showed well but tasted mediocre. We got the hen of the woods, snapper crudo, heirloom tomato salad, smoked potatoes, Brussels, half chicken, lamb chops and the bronzino. The crudo paired well with the grapefruit but think it would have been better in smaller slices of fish instead of rolled up chunks. Hen of the woods is basically a fried type of mushroom which was unique but nothing to rave over. The half chicken was literally half a chicken pounded out which was tasteful in flavor and had a nice char but probably best dish to split with others cause you just get sick of the chicken a few bites in. I had the lamb chops which everyone at the table thought was the best choice but they were just plain in flavor compared to other restaurants I've dined at so I didn't think much of them. A round of our spicy tequila drinks came out without the peppers having no spice so we had to send them back to get fixed. The bartender or the server should have noticed this before dropping the round. Chicken dishes got dropped without the fries which took a while of us seeing the server to even mention that they didn't get dropped for him to correct the issue. The food runners should have dropped the fries with the dish or shortly after. We ordered desserts one of which being the pear crumble after hearing about it being warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. However the dessert came without the ice cream then after waiting for it the server came back and said they were out of vanilla but we could get another flavor. Told him to bring whatever flavor. After waiting for what seemed to be a long time the manager then came by to tell us their freezer was out and there was no ice cream for the night. At this point she comped the pear crumble but we wish we knew before we ordered it. We would have opted for another choice. Place is nice, service was good but I feel like with so many hands on deck they need to work out some kinks. I felt like all dishes are $5 higher than what they should be for quality of food. We all decided that the blue door was a closed door for us.

Becoming a favorite spot for me! The food is very good. The branzino is incredible. Same with the gnocchi. Snapper crudo is great. Hen of the woods mushrooms are also great. Wasn't impressed by the grilled halloumi though. The wine selection is awesome... tons of Italian and French wines. They even have orange wine! We had a bottle of the La Chiazza (Tuscan red blend) -- loved it. Would like to see some more variety with the cocktails. Service is always great and the atmosphere transports you to a coastal European town. We will continue to return and try more dishes!

This restaurant was phenomenal. The service and food were both great. I enjoyed everything we ordered, but the Hen of the Woods was the best dish. The Snapper Crudo and Octopus were also fantastic. The Strawberry Meringue Dessert was great.

I've been thinking about trying this restaurant for a while and tonight I did and I'm very glad that we did. I must say it's very unique. The blue door is a blue door and you go inside and it's all like dining alfresco as soon as you walked in the hostess was very inviting and nice. We had a nice table in the outside area really most of it is in the outside area. The waiter Carlos was excellent he answered all our questions served us so well that we were pleasantly surprised of the special services cleaning the table off putting new forks knives, one after each meal always available if we needed anything !!the sourdough bread which is made in house was outstanding. I had the halloumi it was delicious. You can't usually get it in a lot of places so I had to make sure that I had it and it was even better than I thought The pear and fennel salad was delicious and the flat iron half of chicken was really good and tasty great spices We also had the scallops with lentil which was really good three large scallops. They have valet parking. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu, this is a small menu a unique menu. Make sure you read all the things they have because it's not usual normal type of food. Everything is spic nicely Even the hamburger was more exciting than usual. The table next to us had a chocolate soufflé which looked outstanding. Can't wait to go back to try some more of that well prepared food

The service was stalling a little which is expected from a restaurant that recently opened. The manager and some of the other waitstaff are knowledgeable about the menu and the produce. The food was certainly outstanding with its freshness, however it lacked a little something. A lot of the dishes incorporate mint, but the leaves are just placed on top rather than being incorporated into the food further with possibly a mint sauce for the brussel sprouts. The octopus had a strong charred flavor which is great but overpowering in this execution. The tomato salad needs a lemon zest to give it a pop. The space has a European layout with coastal vibes. The music is perfect. Only note is that the outside area closer to the tall wall of bushes could use some heaters as it is a little chilly at this time, and some additional lighting in the form of string lights maybe.

This place should be called Morton's. Not because it's a part of the steakhouse chain. It's because salt seems to be the primary ingredient in every dish. I don't want to seem salty, but who the heck was checking potassium levels coming out of that kitchen? The salad with pear and fennel? Obliterated by salt. Branzino? Salt. Gnocchi? Salt. Mac and Cheese? Salt and sugar. Ambience was nice. Most of the restaurant is outdoor seating. Service was excellent. Not salty at all. Bar was great. (Thankfully had no salt.) We all got sick as dogs. the morning after our visit. We shared one plate. Possibly the snapper crudo, the least salty item that we had. Even beyond the poor and possibly putrid prep, nothing that we tried really shined. Great look. Scrap the kitchen. Send chef Sodium Sal, in the back, to Hypertension Anonymous, and start over. The Island crowd has taken to it. It will likely succeed. When blessed by the Bahhhhs (Sheeple) in Bentleys, does it really matter what you serve? The Blue Door, to me, is more like an invitation into a culinary Stephen King moment than to a welcome hang. Won't be back.

An impromptu dinner with friends on a Saturday night lead us to an early reservation at The Blue Door. It is a very cool space with fully covered outdoor seating so you can really enjoy the Florida weather without fear of sun or rain. Our server was very friendly and made great recommendations Off the menu as far as dishes and amount of food needed. We started with the steak tartar and snapper pate. Both were beautifully seasoned, light and elegant. The greens salad is huge and must be shared. It had bright vinaigrette. The burger was disappointing. It was two, thin, smash style patties which were dry and the toppings were not very flavorful. The chanterelle special was nice with the sheep's cheese and watercress and adding that to the top of the burger did help a lot. The flat iron chicken was juicy and tender and everyone at the table agreed it did not need more butter on top as the menu specified (we got the butter on the side). Sober scallops with lentils were quite good and the boys enjoyed the creamed spinach. Chocolate soufflé was on point definitely order that! Wine selection was decent, beer offerings were short but they have a well stocked bar.

We loved this place so much we went two days in a row! The service is top notch. The staff knows the menu inside and out to make quality recommendations. Everything we ordered was delicious. Our favorites included the tuna carpaccio, Mediterranean dip, Maine lobster spaghetti, and half chicken. I appreciate that they make a solid cocktail where you actually enjoy the drink and not just drinking sugar in a fancy cup. When we are in town we love to dine here!

My friend and I went last night. Their website instagram stated they had a happy hour, but when we got there, there was no happy hour. The manager said that AI had produced the advertisement. The drinks were both weak and they advertise fresh juices in the drinks, but it was canned juices. The service was lacking, the server didn't check on us one time. We had to find the server to place our order. We had to ask for the check. The food was good, and a good portion and the food prices were reasonable given the portions. The atmosphere is poor and not conducive to the prices. I am giving a 3 only because of the food.

Beautiful open patio with small number of indoor tables. We had excellent service for the entire experience. We really liked the Hen of the Woods. It is a lot larger than we expected so plan on sharing. My husband had the Flat Iron Half Chicken that was so delicious! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I had the Whole Branzino which was light and tasty. I recommend trying this place if you like Mediterranean di

Attracts the SO SO and Palm Beach adjacent crowd. We shared and got the steak tartare to start. Would not have it again as It was not the best I've had and strays a bit from a traditional tartare. Entree was good and so was the service. It's got a lot of al Fresca going on but there is also dining inside if you wish.

The food was spectacular, I enjoyed the burger with the perfect balance of melted cheese and a fresh bun. Others dig into the various appetizers including the Mediterranean plate and shrimp cocktail. The staff were attentive and welcoming. Easy and ample free valet parking made it a breeze to visit!

Venue: Beautiful space. Simplistic decor with an amazing outdoor space. Once you open the arched blue door you will see a buzzing vibe with beautiful people. Food: Starters included- Octopus which was very taste. slightly tough but still very good. Mediterranean spread which was delicious and had a great selection of veggies and pita along side. Tomato salad was fresh and delicious. Entrees: We had an order of lamb chops which were absolutely amazing! Coming back for these alone! Prawns were cooked perfectly. Only wish the shells were removed but simple to do yourself. Scallops were an appetizer but we ordered 2 orders as an entree. They were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Service was on point. Our server was very attentive and sweet. The managers touched the tables and checked in. We also ordered two bottles of wine which was suggested by the server which paired very well with the food. Over all i will definitely be back!!!! Side note: Make sure to turn down the side street adjacent to the restaurant. You cannot enter off of dixie in a car. We brought this up to the manager so hopefully they make an adjustment.

This review comes after an email complaint made the day after our dinner and a poor response was made. My daughter made reservations for my birthday dinner on Friday and she reminded the hostess when we arrived. We were seated inside due to weather which was nice. Our server was pleasant but seemed nervous and unsure of menu. We started with the "sourdough bread " which came with a black olive spread. This was awful, bread was grilled and had a burnt smell and taste even the olive spread couldn't mask. We also ordered a cocktail, summer watermelon margarita type drink which was sour, and my husband had a baby bottle Diet Coke which for the life of us couldn't figure out how and why it tasted rancid. The second order was for a "green salad" the salad was a bowl of bitter leaves, Which we left over. Before dinner I asked the server if the lobster pasta was spicy or had any heat her immediate reply was "no" I said my younger daughter cannot eat spice so we wanted to make sure. She was positive. For our dinners We ordered the branzino, (burnt and tasted very salty), the halibut special (had no flavor and dry) and the last order which was the hamburger was very good.My husband had switched with my younger daughter who couldn't eat the lobster pasta bc of the heat/ spice factor. I mentioned this to the server and she was surprised to know the pasta was spicy. The fish meals made both my daughter and I sick. When the dinner was over we were asked if we wanted dessert but declined. The hostess manger did come to our table a few times to ask how we were doing but we felt that a complaint at the table would be disruptive and embarrassing during a birthday dinner and we decided to send an email later. My daughter who suggested we go to the blue door felt bad and embarrassed. We had hoped for a more responsive reply to our email but did not receive one. We will not return.

Insanely good food and great service!!!! Absolutely worth coming here. The food is a little expensive but well worth it. The cocktails were amazing and I can't wait to go back to try others. The biggest surprise was the orange wine which I had never heard of but loved We sat outside and it was perfect. The fans worked well and we were protected and coveted during a rain storm

What a welcome addition to SoSo. Everything about this restaurant is lovely. I walked in and felt like I was somewhere along Mediterranean, but in a very subtle sense. I got a last minute invitation from a friend and we shared a bunch of appetizers. The scallops were perfectly seared and the crab cakes were spectacular. The grilled halloumi with roasted tomatoes also stood out. In addition, the service was spot on with great personalities that managed to not be intrusive, while being super attentive. That is not something that's easy to pull off. I can't wait to go back and I'm wishing them a ton of success. I will absolutely bring my out of town guests to The Blue Door!

Great Looking food but no taste. Ambience: Nice outdoor. Saw water on floor so if rains may be a problem. Service: Good but too fast. IN/Out 50 minutes for two. We are not the lingering order nothing and occupying tables people which seemed there were several such tables. Noise: Moderate to high Me: Great looking grilled food but no taste. Missing garlic and lemon. Don't expect a Lebanese or Greek tastes or experience. Messe can be made better at home. Grilled octopus tasted of the grill. Shrimp main course tasted of the grill. Her/Him: Mediterranean dip a joke. Cut celery and colored carrots better made at home. Her: Crab Cakes looked good but no taste.Also tasted like the grill rather than the food itself. Off seasoning unknown to normal crabcakes. Definitely way over priced. $19 martini and $40- 50 plates. Way over-rated by Palm Beach Post "Expert" and hype from locals. Can get same MUCH BETTER elsewhere.

Great service, great ambiance, food not so much. All seafood ordered tasted bad. We got the mussels which we had to send back, couldnt even swallow. Scallops were seared on one side and weren't tasty. The mushroom gnocchi was alright. The spinach ravioli was good. The prawns were overcooked and tough with not too much flavor. But the lamb chops were amazing as shown below.

Blue door is outstanding from the food to the service. The seafood is particularly great the prawns and tuna carpaccio stand out. Vanessa our waiter is about as good as you will have and the management is hands on and is always making sure things are going smoothly. Some of these reviews are inaccurate compared to our experience

We live nearby and decided to walk over to give them a try. The cocktails, while pricey, were great! As were the bartenders. We shared the Tuna carpaccio and steak tartare. The carpaccio, including the oil on the plate tasted like it had been sliced and plated much earlier. The tuna was not soft and delicate and the oil on the plate had a gel like consistency as if it had been served directly from the fridge. It tasted ok, but probably would've been awesome if it had been prepared just before serving. The steak tartare had way too many onions in it for me. My honey said it repeated on him for 2 days. Whoops. We're not in any rush to go back soon, especially with the Florida heat and humidity coming. It'll be interesting to see what their plans are to handle heat, humidity and buds, it's all outside. I worry outdoors won't be pleasant.

Made reservations in advanced, and on their online comments section told them it's a celebration; my 40th anniversary. Very happy when we arrived only to find the hostess placed us in a narrow two seat table that was less than arms length away from seated patrons on either side of us. We were packed like sardines- hearing each other's conversations. Not only was it bad seating, but I was placed on the edge of the outdoor covered patio facing south in full sun/90* temperature at 5:30pm...I'm in my upscale knee length black dress & high heels sweating profusely ...a waitress stopped by the table next to us, when she walked passed me, I asked if there was any tables indoors...she said it was fully booked for a private Saturday party. From what I can tell, due to the size of the building, 3/4's of the available tables are outdoors IMO...they failed miserably in ambiance, seating arrangements & comfort measures on a hot 90*, no breeze accommodations. I cannot comment on their food nor drinks, since we never got served a menu nor drinks....It is the first time I've walked out of a 'reserved table' restaurant. I did express my sheer disappointment with waitstaff that wasn't assigned to us, because ours never came to greet us & to the "front door" hostess. My complaint is NO ONE wants this for an upscale anniversary dinner, especially with their above average menu prices ...someone should have called me to let me know there's no AC....THANKFULLY, at the last minute we were able to find another restaurant nearby, who had AC & treated our anniversary as something special- at Café Sapori....only because it isn't tourist/snowbird "season"

First time at Blue Door. Food was good and our server was nice but the bill came and the wine we ordered was double the price. The manager said we were "presented" with the wine and therefore "accepted" the bottle even though it was twice the price of the bottle we actually ordered. We didn't think we needed to cross-reference the wine to the menu. It's a scam. We won't be back.

Wanted two visits here. This is first visit: The lobster with pasta/ tagliiotelle was too SALTY...... two of us had heirloom tomato salad and my dinner partner looked at me and said ' I guess these are heirloom tomatoes these days........" The place was slammed. You are in a parking lot camouflaged as a st barts environment. We love new restaurants but WE NEED to try again. OK: ADDENDUM to review: GOOD NEWS!!! Second try they corrected our bill. All good. we went back and gave them another try from last dinner. sat at the bar. service was fantastic, and we had a much much better experience. i am going to chalk up the first meal to opening jitters. this was EXCELLENT the second meal, at the bar. Excellent. They will do very well.

Very average food at a high price point. The road outside the restaurant is noisy and honking horns and traffic while you're trying to have a nice dinner. Food is just ok but portions were small. Very good service and decent parking. We were hungry after dinner and went across the street and had some pizza.

Fantastic! Let's start with complimentary valet. Walk in at the blue door to a beautiful oasis. It delivers as described with amazing service, Maria was helping us and outstanding on suggestions and just the right amount of attention. Cocktails are delicious. we shared an app, a salad and an entree and left so satisfied. Such a great new addition. Sitting outside they have fans and cooling devices to make it pleasant even in these summer months.

Great food, great scene and excellent cocktail list and beer. Grab a seat at the outdoor bar and people watch while you wait. The service was attentive, but not pushy and they brought an extra souffle as we were one of the last tables there. Definitely pricey, but it's the same anywhere good in PB/WPB. Coming back soon!

This was our 3rd visit to The Blue Door over the past 2 weeks. Unfortunately, it will be our last visit . The first 2 visits were reasonably good. This time around nothing was very good. From a bad waitress (she was also incredibly annoying) to mediocre and very overpriced food, we're done. Really very disappointing.

The place is new so it's now the "hot spot" it's outdoors which is nice. The drinks lack alcohol and are quite small for the price. The food was ok, portions minuscul, and their prices are high. would not go back

There were six of us for dinner. The scallops were good.The salads were excellent.The mixed drinks were shy on alcohol, which considering the hefty prices was a dissapointing surprise. The rest of the food was OK, but the French fries were absolutely pedestrian. The worst part of the evening was the service. A third of our party got their food, then waited another ten minutes for another two meals to be served, then another dive minutes for the others to be served. We had a hard time getting our waitresses attention, it seemed they were understaffed and by young. inexperienced, When it came to dessert our waitress came told us of the desserts and the special, then disappeared for over ten minutes. When we finally flagged her down and asked where she was she said she was serving drinks to another party. We left thinking. it was a pretty place, although a bit clamorous , but the food wasn't so special that we'd endure another evening there with weak drinks and bad service.
