We make an effort to have lunch every few weeks. Lamb pita and Greek salad are favorites, or great smooth lemon chicken soup. The flight of 3 brûlée custard flavors is a treat. Ice tea has real flavor. Servers know their job very well.

Bleu Olive never fails to offer an excellent meal and wonderful service. The grilled octopus was amazing and the fish of the day was as well. Our waitperson was pleasant and attentive, but not overly so. The Caesar salad could have had a little less dressing but that's about the only negative of the whole experience.

Four of us went on an early Monday evening to celebrate recent marriages. We had a great time, starting with Markers Mark Manhattans. The appetizers (tasting of spreads, oysters and calamari) were excellent. The main courses were also excellent with the Plaki Snapper particularly well prepared. We all enjoyed our desserts as well with the Pots de Creme a big hit. Our server was Antonio, who as always, provides terrific service.
