Blue Talon Bistro

Lunch at the Blue Talon was first class and professional. Food and service by the bar staff could not have been any better

It took a while to get a reservation at this restaurant. So I was anticipating something magnifique. The service was all right. The atmosphere was lovely.. The French Onion Soup had a wad of cheese on top and not much soup below. The so-called Crepe with Chicken and Mushroom had not a crepe in sight. The serving was a casserole of mostly bland sauce that needed salt to add any flavor. Then, the diner has to dig deep into the bowl to find the other ingredients which may have included a crepe along with chicken and mushroom. My suggestion would be to observe other French chefs that expose the beauty and tastiness of the crepe to the light of day and highlight other ingredients other than tastleess sauce.

It was our first visit in 9 years. It was very good then, and today’s experience was literally perfect. Everything we ordered was served perfectly and absolutely delicious. Especially my son loved his shrimp & crawfish etouffee. Our server was very professional, i.e. knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and courteous. We simply had a blast.

Another restaurant that relegates single diners to the bar and doesn’t have tables for one apparently. (Oh and apparently they’ll call you a liar too per the comment below smh as if I have any reason to misrepresent what actually happened.)

The food was absolutely delicious but we waited forever to get a table, submit because non one told us where to wait and then ignored us. We finally asked and we're seated quickly and everything else went well.

I went here along with 3 local friends of mine and we liked the sandwiches and salads. The staff provided good service and we had a good time.

We found everything at Blue Talon to be well above average. The food, the service, and the overall appearance of the restaurant were superior. I can definitely recommend the beef bourguignon.

Met a friend here for lunch, my first visit. Atmosphere reminds one of a French cafe. Only negative is that sweet tea is not available (c'mon! We are in Virginia!) Server was friendly, knowledgable and attentive, describing thespecials and answering questions. My friend selected the steak frites and I selected meatloaf. My friend said his steak and potatoes were perfectly cooked. I thought the meatloaf was one of the best that I had ever eaten. Desserts were offered but declined. I found the pricing for the quanity of food, to be high, but considering how much we enjoyed the food, a real value. We enjoyed the meal and the ambience.

Great little place with excellent food and wait staff. Dog friendly on the patio and even have a separate menu for the pooches, nice touch. My wife and I ate here with our two poms. We couldn't have been more pleased with the food. Nicely prepared and so tasty. There's something for everyone on this diverse menu. The French onion soup was perfect for a chilly night. My wife had the seared pork medallions and I had a beef stew concoction which was delightfully flavorful. If you're in the area, you can't miss with this choice

This place is nice overall, no problems with the service or food. Everything was overpriced for what it was, it’s not extremely high end but isn’t cheap. It was over 50$ per person on average. Also no free refills on root beer? Really?

The food, the service and the atmosphere were all fantastic. With Julia Childes cooking in the background you know you’re in for treat. The food is a little pricey for breakfast, but the experience is well worth it. I left feeling a little fancier, and a lot fuller (because the portions are generous also).
