| - I was rather disappointed with Blue. Excited for my last and final meal of restaurant week in Charlotte I couldn't wait to get in and order. The waiter, who'd name I cannot recall, was a little more persistent than I would've liked about getting me food that was wheat / dairy free. Given my allergies are anything but life threatening, I wanted to enjoy restaurant week as much as I could without worrying about the affects of it later. While on the one hand I can appreciate his encouragement to fix things according to my allergies, on the other hand once I've said my peace about how I felt about it, he needed to let it go.
Beyond that annoyance, here's what I thought of the food:
For the appetizer, I had the Hummus Plate made with vegetables rather than pita bread. The Hummus... Well I've had better. But the peppers with the goat cheese!! Delicious!
Main course: Pan Roasted Scottish Salmon with a Shrimp and Baby Artichoke Barigoule - with a stew of shrimp, artichokes, carrots, onions and bacon - I was more impressed with the broth the Salmon was cooked in then I was with the dish itself.
However, desert was amazing! I had the Strawberry Bavarois and Moroccan Orange Cake - a creamy Bavarian cream with macerated strawberries and rich orange cake and it was to die for. The cake was moist and delicious and overall the entire thing was full of flavor. I was tempted to order another.
