Restaurant Review Friday — Blue Dahlia

26th March, 2010 - Posted by carsi - No Comments

Blue Dahlia is a cute little bistro on the eastside that serves up salads, sandwiches, breakfast, and larger entrees, along with beer, wine, and coffee. The menu states that they use organic produce when available and that they are committed to optimizing the effect their restaurant has on the environment. Not only are they organic and environmentally friendly, but the food and atmosphere make for a very pleasant visit. I went a few weeks ago with my family, just as the weather was getting nice, and it was so lovely. We sat outside in the back, it was sunny, the plants were green, and the food was really delicious. I got the brie with walnuts and apricot preserve, pictured above, and doesn’t it just look so good?  It was served on crispy fresh baked whole wheat bread, and the cheese and preserves went really well together. At first I didn’t think this would be enough food, but I actually ended up having leftovers. I would really recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially if you’re looking for a patio on a nice day.
