    Starting with positive; setting was nice (dark, blue shades on chandelier lights). We have been before and sat outside on patio for drinks, which we liked even better. The menu… *way* too much going on. The pastas we ordered were a big miss, and I’d suggest ditching 70% of the menu, which had an Italian restaurant meets Chili’s feel. Halfway through the dinner, the restaurant turned a YouTube electronic music festival on to max volume. Another patron asked them to turn it down (all patrons were confused by it), and it quickly turned into a max volume karaoke session. Just a totally out of step vibe with the setting.

    Second visit. Food was very good again. Service is uneven. Very pleasant servers but timing is off. Drinks came out slowly; entrees came before we'd finished our appy. Had to find server to get our bill.

    Great experience. Had a work lunch and everything was great. Our waiter Curiel did a very nice job attending to everyone and answering questions.

    Dim, relaxing atmosphere, good food, decent service. However, no prominent sign so a little difficult to see while driving.

    My wife and I were somewhat disappointed about our first visit to Blue Fire. However, we are likely to try it again because our disappointment was based more on the service than on the food/ cocktails. We both enjoyed our cocktail—my Old Fashioned and my wife’s Apricot Sour. The food menu is very eclectic, ranging from hamburgers and pizza to sushi. My Beef Stroganoff featured a mountain of mashed potatoes and several large pickle slices, and my wife enjoyed her generous portion of Ribs.
