Je vais dans votre restaurant depuis plus de 10 ans à chacun de mes anniversaires, c'est toujours un grand succès au près de mes convives. Personnellement, je n'ai jamais été déçu! J'ai hâte à l'an prochain ou avant qui sais ! Merci!

J'ai été dans ce restaurant plusieurs fois & à chaque fois le service est assez mauvais. Je continue à y aller parce que les mets sont quand même exceptionnels mais là je crois que je vais arrêter.

La serveuse est incapable de sourire. C'est un de ces endroits où ils pensent que la qualité est associée à une attitude indifférente du type "je suis supérieur, je suis élégant & je souris pas" Au point où on était presque mal à l'aise à lui poser des questions. Ce n'est pas juste une fois, mais à chaque fois que j'ai été. Honnêtement j'ai été dans des restaurants meilleurs & plus chers où j'ai été accueilli beaucoup plus chaleureusement.

À part le café (pas bon), les desserts (juste des mini-gateaux, pas vraiment une découverte éthiopienne),& le piment en poudre que l'on a eu lorsque l'on a demandé s'il avaient du piquant, je n'ai aucun reproche quant aux aliments. Les entrées étaient excellentes & les plats principaux étaient tous vraiment bons. Ils ont juste à travailler leur attitude & à faire attention au service.

Que dire du Nil Bleu sinon qu'il vaut absolument le détour ? La finesse des saveurs, les épices au goût particulier, le fait que tant les végétariens que les carnivores peuvent y trouver leur compte sont toutes des raisons de passer une soirée à ce resto. Petit bémol, le service est plutôt lent, donc il faut prendre le temps!

We have been going to the Blue Nile for about a decade now. Birthdays, celebrations, visitors from out of town- you name it. There have been some glitches from time to time but when we complained (food came cold a few times), the problem was quickly corrected.

But we have never been there on a Monday night. This time, we happened to go on a Monday night. BAD IDEA.

Only the manager working as a server, with one helper to clean the tables. Waited for the meal for a while- not unexpected, we were willing to be patient because it was a Monday night & they were short staffed.

When we placed our order, as soon as we finished, I was chatting for about 10 seconds- I was mid-sentence & the manager walked away. Really? I was just saying how it was our favorite restaurant & we were celebrating a birthday. Two sentences, & she walked away. I was shocked.

The shock continued. No extra bread & it was obvious we were running low. We asked for the dessert tray & waited. & waited. & asked the helper. & waited. Finally, we got the dessert.

Took the fun out of our night. We were celebrating a birthday. Sad & disappointed.

I understand that staff is short on a Monday, but if you cannot afford to provide proper service, close on Mondays! Bad service is NOT ok & makes us think twice before going there again on a NON Monday night!
