Made reservations for Monday evening specifically for the fried chicken special. Arrived at 7:15 and was told that they were out of the fried chicken special offered on Mondays. This is the second time this has happened to me at Blue 44.

Good food and service -- setting is basic yet comfortable. Would recommend to others for lunch or an early dinner.

Came here for Tour del Taco and got the fish tacos. Overall very bland and each taco only contained fish (breaded but not crispy at all) and some red cabbage. They came with an option of fries or a small side salad which were fine, I guess. I was moderately hungry but opted to not finish the meal with how unflavorful it was.For $25, I felt very ripped off. They really need to add some more ingredients + spices to the tacos.

Atmosphere wasn’t great. Service a bit rude. Gumbo pretty good, all else very mediocre.

Food was not that great, and the service was fair definitely could have been better and the ambiance was nothing special.

Delicious all-inclusive food and a drinks package for €15 pp! Top concept, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Recommended!

I recently visited Blue 44 for lunch, and overall, I found it to be a decent dining experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, providing a comfortable setting for a midday meal. The menu offered a variety of options, and the food quality was satisfactory, with flavors that pleased the palate. However, I couldn't help but notice that the prices were a bit on the higher side for the portion sizes and offerings provided. While I enjoyed my meal, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was paying a premium for what I received. That said, Blue 44 is still worth a try if you're in the area and looking for a nice lunch spot with decent food, albeit at slightly elevated prices.

I never leave reviews but this was really bad, the experience really ruined my night visiting my partner. The atmosphere was abysmal, completely empty and no music playing. The food was not great, I hardly touched it and my partner and the server commented on it. Service was fairly slow and honestly i was really just trying to get out of here so i could enjoy my night elsewhere. Would really not recommend given other options in the area.

To be fair, I've eaten there exactly once, but for that part of town you get a decently priced meal in a homey setting with delightful staff. We will absolutely be back when we're in the area.

I live about 10 miles from this place, and Connecticut traffic is no picnic, but it remains my favorite neighborhood place. The food is outstanding - everything on the menu is a surprise. You walk in and thing " ok nice, but nothing special - unpretentious." But then the first bite, and the second, and you are like - " whoa - wait a minute!" The gumbo is especially good - I often get one to go - and the Pittsburgh cheesesteak? Forget about it Philly - get on I 95 and try this one! This last time I decided to range out from my favorites, and try the pasta bolognese. Boring, right? Nope - eyes roll back in the head good. Oh and remember the unpretentious part? Yep, totally kid friendly. Huzzah for Blue 44 - may you live long and prosper!
