    We have had good experiences at Blue River Bistro but last night was not good. Our server was great. The manager did comp our daughter's meal. I have the special, Wagyu Ribeye Steak. It was a bad cut of meat, not Wagyu. We will be back and believe they just had a bad night.

    Great dinner on a quiet evening in Breck (late Oct). The bison short ribs were exceptional. My wife's dinner salad with shrimp was equally delicious. Music this Monday evening was by Mark, and he's outstanding. BRB remains one of our most favored restaurants in Breck.

    We had the best meal in along time! I had the salmon that was the best I have ever had and I eat a lot of salmon! My husband ate the special filet mignon that was amazing! The steak was so tender and juicy. I have nothing negative to say, but we can’t wait to visit again! Highly recommended! Great job crew! Kudos
