Food and service were excellent. Bartender was knowledgeable and made great classic cocktails - very well balanced. Pate was phenomenal & loved the chefs cut (hangar) steak frites. Definitely coming back again!

An absolute top-notch experience. The food and service were exceptional, and everything exceeded my expectations. I was visiting Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving and decided to stop in, and I’m so glad I did!
A special shout-out to our server, Drew, who truly made the meal worthwhile. His attentiveness and personality took the experience to the next level.
I’d highly recommend the escargot, French onion soup, steak frites, and the soufflé — each one was outstanding!!

We were really happy to hear that they opened back up! You for sure want to make reservations far in advance but it’s worth the wait. Order the soufflé at the beginning of your meal as it requires extra time to make.
The food was so good. I have been twice. I got a filet and tried the chefs pick steak the second time. Both were great. Drinks are delicious as well as the vanilla bean crème brûlée.

Okay the foodie in me.... Poulet Blue I made our reservation back in December for February 3rd, and we ended up seated at a high-top table in the bar area. I honestly don’t remember selecting that option, and I’m not sure if it was our only choice. Unfortunately, it wasn’t ideal—there was constant staff traffic walking past us, which made the experience feel a bit chaotic rather than relaxed. We started with the escargot since neither of us had tried it before. It was good—very earthy—but for me it was a bit of a mind-over-matter situation, and I ultimately let my husband finish my last piece. For entrées, I ordered the halibut with white beans, Swiss chard, and a champagne cream sauce, and I absolutely loved it. Every element worked beautifully together, and it was the standout dish of the night. We also ordered the poulet rôti with rotisserie chicken breast, truffle brioche stuffing, sunchoke, and chicken jus. This dish was just okay. The chicken itself was fine but nothing special—I can make a comparable chicken dish at home. We were really drawn in by the truffle brioche stuffing, but unfortunately the truffle flavor didn’t come through strongly enough to justify the order. Overall, Poulet Blue was good, but not memorable enough for a return visit. With so many other restaurants still on our list, this one feels like a one-and-done for us.

We had a really nice dinner at Poulet Bleu. For the price, they need to improve both the service and flavors but this is a really nice neighborhood bistro. Cocktails were great. Orange Old Fashioned and Dirty French Martini were both amazing. Kudos Really good wine list as well. Bistro salad was simple and good. Hangar steak with fries was excellent. Perfectly cooked. Bernaise sauce was bland, tasted like mayonnaise. Truffle sauce for the excellent fries was also bland and tasteless. Skip it. Chocolate souffle looked really pretty. Unfortunately it was bland, tasting slightly of milk chocolate with weirdly bland sauces. Vanilla ice cream was great. Skip the souffle. We really liked the place but for $250 for two the quality and service should be much better. The sauces should be a highlight of a French restaurant and here they were all sub par. Next time we'll try a burger and wine at the bar and skip the expensive stuff. Hoping they can fine tune. Lots of potential here.

I was unable to cancel my reservation in time due to a death in my family so they charged my credit card 102 dollars. I called and explained my situation and they advised me they would refund me. Two days later and I still have not been refunded. They were very rude and unprofessional. Would definitely not recommend coming here due to poor service and inconsiderate staff members

The food and drink were spectacular but nothing compared to the incredible service we received from Sara, who was an absolute delight! She talked us into the chocolate soufflé which was to die for, so were the alicot potatoes, truffle fries, and French onion soup. Everything had fantastic flavor! The ambiance of this place is unparalleled- it is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining in. Thank you for a wonderful night!

Poulet roti was extremely underwhelming. Sunchokes are a poor choice to include with this dish. Plating was also very sloppy. Way overpriced for what you get.
Menu wasn't so exciting. Food was unremarkable as well. Id come back for an onion soup perhaps but if I couldn't get a res. Id be perfectly fine with that . I really wanted.to find more classic french dishes and this wasn't it for me.

Avoid if you were a regular before. I used to have great experiences here, but unfortunately, the food quality has taken a dive since the renovation. The pâté is nowhere near the original standard, and the roasted chicken was very disappointing. It’s a shame because the service is still excellent, but the kitchen just isn't delivering any surprise no more.

Curated, exclusive, haute cuisine!
Bloomfield has had the pleasure to welcome back Poulet Bleu, a fine dining experience. Poulet bleu reopened in October and it took about 3 months for us to secure a reservation and let me tell you, it was worth the wait.
Before we talk about the food, it’s worth talking about the mood. Ambient low lighting, 3 distinct dining sections, and a cohesive Persian design offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. You have the covered patio with fountain as you walk in and elements of alfresco feel carried through to the back dinning room. The middle you’ll find an eat in bar, followed by the eat in kitchen where we had the pleasure of watching our meal prepared and the hustle of the kitchen staff. It was an experience that was comfortable and entertaining.
The menu is tailored, upscale, and so, so French. Poulet Bleu is a French restaurant that knows that has an emphasis on quality food and service. A lot of American food models French cuisine. Poulet Bleu delivers exceptional French flair!
We ordered the Escargot, Les Steak Frites (Filet Mignon), Roasted Duck, and the Chocolate Soufflé! All were exceptional in quality, flavor profiles, and presentation. If I have to choose one? I’d go back, again, and again for the Chocolate Soufflé! I would get 3 courses of the Soufflé, the only problem is they need to be ordered in advance because they take 40 minutes to bake! Keep in mind and order at the beginning. I cannot stress enough how delicious, delicate, and divine that chocolate Soufflé was. You must try it!
The service was stellar. Our waiter (Damien) was attentive and knowledgeable. After ordering we waited no longer than 20 minutes and food was served. Damien was very quick on his toes, charming, and overly friendly. Exactly the type of service you should expect at a restaurant of such caliber.
A few considerations: The food menu could be considered on the pricier side, especially with portion sizes of the dishes. Poulet Bleu offers multiple small plate options for the price conscious. Or for those looking to try something new.
The atmosphere and food make this not just a restaurant, but an experience worth a visit/wait! Poulet Bleu is an intimate place for a special occasion that celebrates all things French. I look forward to returning with guests to impress.

It was incredibly mid. 6/10 the food was fine but definitely not worth booking a reservation a month a head of time and the fact that they charge $50 a head to cancel your reservation. The drinks were good the wine list is good dessert (chocolate soufflé) was the best thing but the French onion soup was average the hailibut was overcooked and flavorless the duck was fine but nothing impressive the carrots however were delicious. Overall it was fine not worth the hype or the $400 I spent but fine
