The service was fantastic, and they did an excellent job of recommending outstanding and incredibly tasty dishes from their menu. I enjoyed my visit here.

Today I stopped by this spot for the first time for lunch after a business meeting and it did not disappoint. Rod was my bartender and was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. The grilled cheese with chicken was amazing and the gumbo was supposed to be taken home for later but my spoon would not stay still. Oh and the DMV Manhattan was really nice. I was also fortunate to have a quick convo with the owner, Chris. Good guy and overall great place. I highly recommend it and don’t forget to check out their restroom. I know that sounds weird, but it looks better than some residential bathrooms! I’ll be back for dinner!

Excellent service. Fair prices. We went on a Sunday evening without reservations. It seems they are currently serving a limited menu. The food is an eclectic blend of American and European (northern and southern) and is very well prepared and presented in an upscale casual fashion. Well worth a revisit.

We tried Blue 44 Restaurant and Bar for the first time in December 2020. Our order included the fried chicken with sides (garlicky green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a biscuit) and gumbo, which comes with rice topped with scallions. We were very lucky to also receive two scrumptious desserts in our order - a chocolate silk pie (came with chocolate sauce and whipped cream) and a cheesecake (came with a berry compote and whipped cream). Everything was delicious! The fried chicken was well-seasoned and crispy, not oily, the mashed potatoes were super creamy and smooth, the garlicky green beans had just the right amount of garlic on them, and the biscuit was good enough to eat plain! The gumbo had just the right amount of spiciness to it, the pulled chicken in it was very tender, and the gumbo tasted great with the rice. The desserts were so good, too - light and decadent without being too sweet. Additionally, the individuals affiliated with this restaurant are great people! The owner is really kind, the chefs are so talented, and all the staff we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. This is a great place, and we highly recommend it!

Not sure (are they listed on Open Table?), but there is hardly a reason for reservations qt lunch time (I haven't been there for dinner yet).
