Exceptional! Everything about our experience was outstanding. Service provided by Aaron was top notch. He was attentive without hovering and anticipated our needs. I require multiple glasses of water and assured they were full at all times, without my asking. Food was delivered promptly and efficiently. Speaking of food, creative combination of ingredients with excellent results. My wife had the duck and I had the lamb. Beautifully prepared and presented with exceptional blend of flavors and textures. Curated the finest ingredients. Not splashy but instead, comforting. Finally, atmosphere was wonderful. Quiet, warm, and inviting. Lighting is perfect. Overall, a great atmosphere. We have been enjoying the wonderful brunch for more than a decade. First time for dinner. This will become a go to place for us. Thanks to Michael and the entire crew. We are grateful.

We recently moved to the area and this has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants. The food is delicious, fresh and interesting. The staff is warm, knowledgeable and professional. I love that featured items on the menu change regularly. Tonight I had a new add - the braised beef with Yorkshire pudding. It was outstanding.

If you have never tried the Blue Door Cafe, you owe it to yourself to do so. The food is outstanding, the service is impeccable. The vibe is one of downtown Manhattan, although you're in the sleepy little place of Cuyahoga Falls.

Unattentive servicers. Pricey for quality and quantity. Small half Chicken with risotto did not come with salad or bread for the table. @$42 it is way overpriced.
