Blue Moose

Pullin up i was like dangg this place looks fancy. Then we go in and its like an average restaurant. I ordered the Nachos, the cheese was good but got cold fast. Then the “classic pizza” wasnt very flavorful. Then i go to the bathroom and it smelt like sewage. Bathroom was very dirty. But the gf enjoyed her Chicken Wings & brother enjoyed his chicken strips. The fries are very good also.

Got the Eggs Benedict which are typically really good, but this is what I got for both my original and the “remake” Manager never came to fix the issue, our server had to handle it. At one point saying, “well sir the eggs Benedict has poached eggs”… please tell me those photos are poached eggs with a straight face.

Our group of 10 showed up this evening without a reservation and were seated within 20 minutes. Our server John was *amazing*! He provided stellar service, handled special requests with aplomb and wasn't phased by a certain very picky member of our party. All of the food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend for a casual, comfortable dinner for a party of any size.

I come here for happy hour all the time and am never disappointed and today was no exception. The food was incredible and the drinks were better but the real stand outs were the staff. My server Sabrina was fantastic as was another server who helped out I think his name was John? Also great was the bartender that night Greg who made the best martini I’ve ever tasted! I love coming to blue moose and I can’t wait to come back!

It was ok. Maybe we didn't order the best stuff on the menu or maybe what we ordered wasn't for us. I had the lunch shrimp tacos, which were good, but the sauce on them was not. My wife had the 1/2 Cuban Sandwich, which is something she's had and enjoyed at other places, and this one was extremely dry (I had a bite and very much agreed.). We thought more mustard would have helped. The service was good. We wouldn't be opposed to going back, there wasn't anything wrong, but we wanted to like the food more.

It took 20 minutes after we were seated for our server to reach us. That was hardly surprising; the host staff double-seated the same server! Once she reached us, though, our server was outstanding. My meal, their Traditional Benny, was quite good, as were all of our appetizers. My dear friend, who we were meeting for Easter brunch, was not so fortunate. After an extensive wait for our entrees, she was told that the kitchen was out of her selection. Her second choice was the fish and chips. The fish was mushy! Even though it flaked easily with a fork, it had a translucent appearance usually seen in undercooked seafood. She settled for a second appetizer. I know that I have mentioned before that I have a background in hospitality. This causes me to notice some things that others might not. The double-seating gaffe on the part of the host staff initially set my teeth on edge. What got them grinding, though, was the floor in the bar area. It's a dark laminate, so any little scrap that falls on it is very noticeable. It was Easter, so of course there had been a lot of traffic across that floor. I crossed the bar area to reach the restroom, and noticed that the floor in that area was simply trashed. I also noticed the bartender sitting behind the bar. I also noticed the floor manager hustling through the same area without once looking down. When we left, I noticed a small gaggle of servers standing and joking with the host staff. Come ON! A small broom, a long-handle dustpan, and 15 minutes is all that would have been required to tidy that bar area. When I, as a customer, see that the staff and management are disinterested in such a simple task, I begin to wonder what other basic cleaning they choose to neglect.

I usually LOVE coming here but my experience was horrible. Blake was our server. We waited a very long time for our food (Mac n cheese & braised pork with mashed potatoes and a side of Mac n cheese). I worked in the restaurant business before so I’m very understanding BUT it gets to the point where it’s ridiculous. Blake avoided our table and it was painfully obvious. I wasn’t sure if he was nervous or just didn’t care. Eventually the table of 6 who were sat and taken care of AFTER us got their appetizers… and then their entrees. While us, a table of two, hasn’t gotten anything… not even a “sorry it’s taking a while, I’m going to check on that for you”. And then follow up with an explanation on why it’s taking forever. Since our waiter refused to look our way, I, a pregnant women, had to get up out of my seat and complain to someone who was maybe the manager? I think they were. I’m not sure as they didn’t say who they were. They were in a nice blue Christmas suit. Very festive and fun. There wasn’t really any true concern coming from them but they said they would find out the problem. A while passes and they said it was because they ran out of mashed potatoes… but we just seen mashed potatoes get ran out to the table across from us AFTER she left. There was no apology from them. Anyways…by the end of it, they took off the additional side of Mac n cheese we ordered. A quick explanation and an apology would have went a very long way for our server, as I used to serve myself. I don’t know if this was a race issue or just a mess up. I love eating here but this was an experience that made me question if I’ll ever come back. Blake seemed like he didn’t care so we didn’t care to tip. I understand having a bad day… but we felt we were being discriminated against. and that’s why apologizing goes a long way… WE ALWAYS TIP 20% … this was just ridiculous.

Went on a Sunday without a reservation. We were told we could find a space in the bar area and there were many tables to pick from. We ordered a mimosas. They were good. What was not good was the fact there were gnats flying around inside and one flew into my drink. Yuck. Just Yuck. It was replaced, however if you are seated inside you should not have that as an issue. The food was good-especially the breakfast potatoes. Unfortunately the gnats just really ruined the dining experience.
