Blue Bistro — Restaurant in England

Avoid, as we're are staying in looe we pooped along to mevagissy as they had a fete going on and we love the place visit every year spend a few hours wondering around hubby likes to do some fishing. When we fancied some lunch and came across this lovely looking little place. However when you walk in there is no warm welcome or even a hello, we sat down and waited eventually I went to the counter to order my husband had a sandwich which when arrived i could of got better from a petrol station very basic, I had a cream tea which was OK. Again waitress never spoke a word. We could then hear the waitress and I guess some one else who worked there just behind counter saying smile and stop looking miserable remember to smile and to stop talking so loudly. That conversation should of been out of ear shot for customers. After a little while we decided to leave the atmosphere was certainly BLUE. When I went up to pay the person behind counter was bad mouthing the table next to us cause apparently they ordered wrong and it wasn't her fault as she had asked them a question 3 times. It certainly is not a friendly place to go it needs new staff or just management needs some training ect. I never leave a bad review I only ever leave good ones but this place needs avoiding. A warm welcome would make all the difference and apparently its not because they wrrr having a bad day as when we came out another holiday maker stopped us and asked what we thought of it in there we replied ok to which this total stranger told us about hes experience and that he would never spend another penny in there the first time was enough and I had to agree. It also states dog welcome but they don't even get a welcome and made to feel the dogs in the way. I certainly can't see this being here next year when we visit. If you guys are I will be surprised maybe give staff some training.... also smile and greet your...

We both had a lovely vegetarian evening meal here.

Traditional menu and calm and polite service.

Good dogs welcome, that was a plus.

I feel reading a lot of the other reviews people have been very unfairly judgmental. This venue a small and independently run establishment and therefore that has to be taken into consideration.

Unlike ‘Table-Table/beefeater’ style restaurants where they have 10s of staff members, the venues are big and spacious and everything is cheap and microwaved - independent restaurants, cafes & shops cannot be compared too.

The service was friendly and accommodating considering we hadn’t booked, we had a dog and it was Friday night. YOU, are welcome to read the menu from outside and make your choice, or you could eat at home and make it yourself!

We had two very clean plates and left happy to be fed and watered and having not had to do the dishes!

I feel people who have perhaps not owned or run a business themselves, are VERY quick to judge.

Thank you...

Visiting Mevagissey most years for nearly 25 years we have often walked past Blue and never actually eaten. Last weekend we decided we would. We were a large party, of 6, for the intimate space but were made welcomed. The food was delicious, service a little slow but with one chef and all food freshly cooked, I would rather that. My rabbit pie was first class, all our party throughly enjoyed our food, even my fussy 15 year old, who although not vegan, opted for the butternut squash and mushrooms vegan option and came out a mushroom convert. Thank you ladies for a lovely meal. If I was to say one thing, perhaps think about some low background music. It was a quiet night and this would have added a bit more atmosphere. We will...
