Le Bleu

I came here for a late lunch. It wasn’t very crowded, which is what I was looking for. The service has been excellent. I was seated immediately, and my waitress was very helpful about my questions about gluten free options. She would go ask if she didn’t know. I was definitely comfortable ordering. I tried the lemongrass margarita, spring rolls, shrimp bún (vermicelli noodles), and sipped on the passion fruit maitai for after my meal. The food came out fairly quickly, and all of it was delicious! The peanut sauce was straightforward and really well balanced for me. Sometimes peanut sauces aren’t gluten free, so I was glad to be able to eat it. The margarita was good, but I couldn’t taste the lemongrass, I may ask for them to put a little more of the lemongrass syrup in next time. The shrimp bún was exactly what I wanted! The shrimp was lightly breaded, and the whole dish was fresh and crunchy (except for the noodles), it really hit the spot. I love the mint in it.. I decided to get the passion fruit maitai after my meal, and it’s a lovely finisher.. the flavor was impressive, lots of stuff going on. There’s muddled blueberries in it. I definitely want my friends to try it when I bring them. My waitress was attentive, but not overly so. I never had to wait for anything, and she didn’t come by very often. Just the right amount of attention, imo. It’s calm, the music wasn’t too loud, and I love the decor! All the colors, and the wall art looks like it was made of scrap wood. Who doesn’t love seeing new life from old materials? I’ll be coming back for sure.
