My husband and I are regulars at Bluephies, having discovered them during Restaurant Week a few years ago. The food is unique and always superb. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The brunch is also very good - French toast is TO DIE FOR and the Bloody Marys are as big as your head. My only complaints about the restaurant itself would be that it's sometimes loud, I wish you were open later, and I wish there weren't so many kids there sometimes (not your fault).
I'm primarily writing this review because we recently held my wedding rehearsal dinner at Bluephies. All of the staff involved was amazing dealing with such a large group. We were able to use their private room and it was nice to be separated from what can sometimes be a loud and chaotic dining room. Everyone was extremely impressed with the quality of the food and service. My father-in-law who set the whole thing up kept raving about it all throughout our wedding weekend! He was very impressed about how easy everyone was to work with, especially when he kept changing his mind about the food, drinks, etc. Everyone LOVED the cookie dough eggrolls, which are my personal favorite. I would super recommend Bluephies for large get-togethers. Thanks so much!
Oh... I'm also a HUGE FAN of the cookbook!
