| - I picked this spot because I found on Yelp that Bluephies had a lot of vegetarian options - no, I'm not, but my friend's wife is. So it was nice to be able to accommodate her. I ordered the "Hot Buttered Rum" for my signature cocktail and it was the best hot chocolate and rum I have ever had. In fact, I had to order it twice. Yum!
I was hesitant to order the quesadilla though and I was right to think that way. It wasn't listed in the appetizers section, so I was hopeful to get some large pieces. But no, I got 4 tiny 'quesadillas' if you can even call them that - they looks like soft shell tacos squished flat. But they were tasty - just not filling enough (there weren't any other pork belly options). Plus, we had to wait forever because a 10 top managed to get their order in just before us. And while I'm ranting about what I didn't like, our waiter constantly started with what wasn't available. I understand the need to tell us, but I'm not going to order everything, it just had me wondering why the manager chose not to serve one thing and why they were out of another menu item.
So yes, I have a huge paragraph of negatives. Yikes; and yet I am still compelled to give Bluephies 4 stars. My friend loved her vegetarian selection, I loved my Hot Buttered Rum, and I have saved the best part for last - dessert. Since the dinner was so small, I had enough room for dessert. Another Yelper noted that people needed to try the Cookie Dough Egg Rolls. So, I respected her review enough to do so and I'm glad I did. Best decision of the night - if it wasn't for the darn quesadilla, I would have easily given Bluephies 5 stars. Oh and this place is a little pricier, so if you're living off a small budget, it may not be the best choice; however, if you can spare some extra cash - Bluephies needs to be added to your list!
