Think of your best dinning experience, what did it include? Exceptional service that made you feel special, creative menu that lived up to expectations and unexpected little things that separated that restaurant from others. I give you, Blue Bistro. No words can describe how amazing our anniversary dinner was tonight, we’ve smiled all the way home.

We recently revisited The Blue Bistro at the NASWA Resort this summer and I must say that the menu, service and atmosphere keeps improving! The meals have more complexity of flavor and presentation and the “Hope Made” desserts have not lost a step, even though matriarch and pastry chef Hope Makris passed this summer at over 100 years-old! Her recipes live on as “Hope-Inspired!” Worth every calorie!
The service is friendly and caring, making sure everything is just right. The atmosphere turns from restaurant to lounge later in the evening as live music creates the ideal atmosphere for that after-dinner drink. Love visiting here and the waterfront view is always captivating!

This would not have been the same experience without our server/waitress Sashaye. She had one of those personalities no matter what you went through that day it was going to be ok and she would make pains to take care of you no matter what she’s done that day too. Smile and laughter filled her eyes. We have had such a rough couple weeks and She was great entertainment and very sweet to us.
Let us get to the food part of this rant. They have these bread/cakes that had a few herbs baked into it and were served alongside the oil with fresh grated cheese and cracked pepper. The seafood risotto was a decadent meal. They should take pains to remove all the shrimp shells but otherwise quite a delish meal. We got truffle fries because we are truffle freeks which they didn’t disappoint and truly they were out of this world. I believe my husband even ate the crumbs. Possibly kidding but I don’t think I am. We ordered the lobster bisque. This was a very dainty version of a bisque not pretentious and just a tiny spot of lobster centered with pieces of chive as garnish, and beaming with a buttery flavor which I mostly prefer. If you are trying to make a lobster bisque chowder you load it with lobster so this minimalistic amount was perfect. It was more of a bowl size and was really filling even half of it so portion wise it was more than most would expect. The Mykonos salad was a must with steak tips. They were perfectly paired and the dressing “homemade Greek” was the right taste to go with the salad and the steak. The cheese was large chunks like traditional Greek salads and the inclusive chickpeas, chunks of cukes and with plenty of Kalamata olives gave it a hearty meal with a great flavor combo. I personally would have added Bermuda (onions) and some green peppers into the salad but it was perfect just the same and plenty to take home had you wanted. We had to order desserts of course. We ordered the carrot cake and the Tommy Bahama cake which both looked so delectable. You don’t get a dessert menu here our lovely server brings a sample plate of all they offer and once you choose she brings you a fresh plate. Lastly we bought a bottle of J Lohr Chardonnay and it tasted like heaven and the peach notes were perfectly paired with the flavors of a salad. We also got a couple cans of Notch Salem Larger and this is one beer in the can that doesn’t have a can taste. The flavor was mild and not hoppy as some lagers can be. It was light and refreshing.
In closing. Our final comment will be the availability of bubbly bottled water. Saratoga is my favorite so it was lovely that we could get that for our meal. The owner stops at the table during your meal to keep things going smooth and satisfactory. We cannot wait to have our beautiful soul of a server again for our next meal and you should run over to check this place out. Make sure you ask for Sashaye. I’m sure they are all good but we really loved her and the blue bistro. We did end up going for their breakfast for a couple of the days and tried eggs, omelets, cinnamon toast, sausage, roasted red potatoes and bacon as well as their french toast and although a pricey breakfast nothing beats quality and service and both are seen here.

The food was absolutely phenomenal and the drinks were delicious here. My whole group enjoyed the food. We could tell our server was new and still in training and the place was packed on a Friday night so we don’t blame him for a slightly long wait for the bill. The atmosphere was decent, there was live music that was slightly loud, but the staff were courteous and kind and food came in a reasonable time.
I would recommend making a reservation, the place sees a lot of business at night.

We had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is warm and pretty, the waitstaff was attentive and so professional and I felt right at home. The food was fantastic and a great value. I will be back again soon.

We had the pleasure of dining here twice over the weekend. Let me say that the food and service are impeccable. Standout employees like Joyce the hostess, and Marlon and Tasha are a pure joy to interact with. Joyce has a heart of gold, and she embodies the true essence of service on every level.
There was only one negative during our otherwise thoroughly enjoyable time here. The owner felt it necessary to scold us because two members of our party cancelled at the last minute, and it apparently interfered with the room set-up for the evening. Well, let me tell you what, your room set-up should never be made the problem of your patrons. Hospitality is the name of the game, and your comments were inappropriate and unnecessary. You made very kind and easy going people very upset, and negatively impacted our ability to enjoy the evening at your otherwise lovely bistro.

High end eatery for the lakes region. Great service.
I visited the Blue Bistro again with my wife. If you are looking for a great dining experience there is no place other to look in the Lakes Region. We have a home in Laconia but are residents of Somerville, MA. We frequent high-end steak houses and Italian Restaurants in the North End. The Blue Bistro easily out performs many high end restaurants found in Boston. There is no place that can even come close in the Lakes. We got shrimp cocktail, fried calamari, and the dumplings for apps. Everything was fantastic but i highly recommended the dumplings. For entrees we got lobster ravioli and filet wrapped in bacon with blue cheese. We enjoyed a tropical mango tango and an old fashion. We didn’t get wine this trip but although their wine list isn’t lobg they have great cabs like Caymus for 130.00 and Silver Oak (Alexander) for 140.00. At Capital Grille these wines are 100.00 more at least. They had Woodford Reserve for my old fashion and had high end cherries which were muddled. The bill was 200.00 and it might sound high but its not. This is a steal. Read my other reviews on high-end restaurants. The servers know the menu, are super friendly, very attentive and on point. Best place anywhere in Lakes Region hands down.

We celebrated our friends 40th birthday there last night. I can not say enough great things about the staff. They printed a happy birthday sign and but little happy birthday confetti on the table along with an awesome birthday cake that came out with a sparkler and a personal written message and a great birthday song. You do not get that around here anymore. The staff were so attentive, fun and very professional. The food was great. Thank you for making our friends birthday the best.

My friend and I sat at the bar which was great! The bartenders were fun! They said they were brother and sister! So attentive and personable!! I ordered the prime rib and my friend ordered the prime steak and we both said we’ve never had better! So yummy and the presentation was great! I guess if I had to criticize anything, it would be the piano player who is very good but just loud and I found it A little difficult to talk. The dining room is open and with everyone talking and then the music it’s just a little difficult She is great just maybe a little softer!! Every waitstaff that i made eye contact with said hello with a smile! Will be back!
