Nice country style interior, very solid and intelligent human contingent.
We were 3 people and had business lunch this time. Every meal: starters, main course and dessert were very delicious and very special. The surprising think was that although business lunch, meals were quit big.
The service very professional and kind, we get an extra dessert “on the house”

The food was pretty good and creative. The fried eggplant appetizer was surprisingly sweet, but pretty tasty. My husband was a little disappointed that his burger was deconstructed and the bottom bun was soggy because of the sauce. The rustic salad was very tasty, but a little too salty for my taste. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was extremely friendly and generous. He recommended some relatively tastey dishes and gave us an appetizer on the house.
He was a very very nice guy, but kept forgetting my dietary restrictions and assured me what was on my plate was safe for me to eat--though I am certain I ate both gluten and dairy (not goat cheese).

Second time dining at the Blue Rooster as an anniversary dinner and, unfortunately, was a bit disappointed this time. While the food was great, like the time before, the scenery was surprisingly unexpected. We made a reservation at around 9 pm and when we arrived, there were only 3 other tables dining. However, it took quite some time to receive the menus as the waiter didn't really notice that we sat down.
That's fine, but the noise that the waitres and the bartender made when they were clearing all the tables and their section was quite appalling and distracting, to say the least. I mean, I understand you would like to close the restaurant but can you do it quieter or don't take reservations before you close... have a little respect for the customers.
Also, please plan your timing better with sending out meals. Just because you cook the main meal quickly, doesn't mean I'd like to have it 2 minutes after you bring out the appetizer and have to squeeze everything onto the tiny tables and let everything just go cold.

A prestigious restaurant that has existed for decades and became a brand. Designed and tasty dishes, but too small, appropriately for a restaurant of this level. Pleasant atmosphere. located in a small mall with luxury stores and a parking lot

Excellent food and service. I love their risotto and polenta. Their lunch menu is also reasonably priced. The ingredients are fresh and high quality.
There are so many great options. For the desserts, the chocolate mousse is not very sweet and the Malabi is excellent!
