French Meadow– all grow’d up, expanded, and modernized, and its spirit of quality and recipe diversity haven’t suffered for it, not even a smidge. From our initial baguette & butter appetizer to our chocolate & fudge dessert, everything we ate was tasty and well-made, as has always been my experience with the restaurant. Re the bar: my Jameson pour was generous and unmeasured, in a refined-but-humbly lowball (i hate whisky & brandy glasses that try too hard; the drinking glass says as much about and establishment’s taste as the selection, i think)

Flawless. Everything about our experience at French Meadow/Bluestem was perfect. The atmosphere was inviting ; relaxing jazz music, appealing lighting, and even a birch forest in the dining room.

It’s a nice feel to it. The food is locally grown and they use a lot of organic foods. The wait staff kinda forgot about us for a while and I had to flag her down.

Food is pretty good, but could over experience was disappointing. The brussel sprouts were very tasty and delicious, but delivered after we got our food (they were ordered as an appetizer). My burger was fine, fries were hot and hand cut. My friends both got the cowboy burger and really enjoyed it. Drink order was definitely not right. One person I dined with ordered a drink and then ordered a second one of the same – the first one was in an old fashioned glass with lemon and herbs as part of the drink and the second one was a different color in a curved glass with no lemon or herbs – that being said she still enjoyed the drink (we did not alert our server, who was super nice) and I had ordered a Kentucky mule (which was not in the menu, but a standard drink as a mule with bourbon instead of vodka) and got a regular mule (again, did not alert server, as it was later in the evening and just wanted anything at that point). If you go, just be specific on what you want and double check!

We had a large party of 11 visiting the area. We found this gem and I immediately called to see if they had any availability or a reservation. The person on the phone said we didn’t need one and I told him we would be there in 20 minutes. We arrived and told the hostess we had a party of 11 and she looked us and said, “party of 11 and no reservation?” She didn’t greet us or anything, she said this and then stormed off.. we were caught off guard and it was not a great start.

Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. The outdoor patio is wonderful, especially the back section away from the street. The salmon Benedict is a full salmon fillet topped with spinach and eggs. The fish portion in the tacos is generous. Lovely seasonings and dressings.

Overall, this place was good! The food was tasty and the service was pretty fast for how busy they were on a weekend morning. I thoroughly enjoyed the Eggs Benedict I ordered, and the rest of the party enjoyed their food as well!

First time here and it was absolutely amazing! I was on keto but whenever I come across a place that has clean ingredients,(aka organic, raw, gluten free etc) I have to break my keto and try it out!

I’ve always walked by this place and never been in which is crazy because it’s clearly adorable. We finally came to our senses and tried it and with the guidance of Angela our waitress, the experience was everything. She was knowledgeable and charismatic and her recommendations were intuitive and spot on. Incredible server, wonderful food and I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to stay away.

Food was ok. Atmosphere was nice. Service was poor. Whatever we asked for was just slammed on our tables and we had to serve it ourselves and no, we were not at the self-serve section.
