Blue is a very smart looking restaurant, and the staff appear friendly. The starters were all very good, but we went for the 2 courses for £11 option, and the choice within that is exceptionally limited, with no vegetarian option. We went to celebrate my son's graduation, and within the first 10 minutes, 2 glasses of pink bubbly had been spilled over his hired gown (which was white). Staff were helpful, and hurriedly rinsed and dried it, so cannot fault that. Overall - reasonable.Review
