We sat at the bar, the girl bar back was friendly. The food was ok. Calamari was very bland and the scallops were OK. The beef carpaccio was really good I don’t like capers so next time I’ll ask to not have them added. The tuna tartare was very good as well.

Best service. Best food. Best atmosphere. Best in SLO period. I have no connection to this place outside of coming here a handful of times. Tonight I got the herb roasted halibut served over a large and delicious wild mushroom ravioli, sautéed spinach, and the most incredible basil vermouth sauce. Topped with melted tomatoes. The service in the bar from Christian and Jeremy is best in town. This is the best dinner I’ve had in the tri counties. Don’t miss this spot. All time.

Classic cocktail spot! Great bar with attentive bartenders and incredible waitstaff. No problem coming here solo or with a group.

Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for an upscale restaurant. The food selection is great, and the atmosphere is upscale, however, with a casual flare. Our server Eric was outstanding. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and Eric went up and beyond to make this a very special evening. If we should find our way back to this area, we would make reservations and dine here again.

5 stars I ate here a month ago and still thinking about that steak…. Service was excellent and the ambience was amazing. I did sit outside and what a view. I tried the tomato soup as well as some ice cream. Oh forgot to mention a bottle of wine silly me. Everything tasted amazing. The server was helpful and friendly and insisted I try the dessert. Good choice also I know this kind of random… but perfectly cooked vegetables. Often you go to a restaurant and they’re a little too al dente for me. Beautiful flavor texture and presentation all around. The table sitting next to me and I were discussing just how good the steaks here were.

I’ll start with the food. It was exquisite! My whole family enjoyed their meals and frankly we couldn’t stop eating even after we were full. The food was very fresh and plated quite beautifully! We got a chance to meet the owner and she was lovely and friendly. Our waiter was amazing and very funny and even though it was busy, he still managed to attend to our every need. The prices on some of the entrees were high but pro tip: the vegetarian menu is quite affordable and offers delicious substitutes to many of the entrees. The most expensive thing on the vegetarian menu was $19 (which wasn’t bad at all considering the quality and quantity of food given) The atmosphere was lovely. It was a perfect fancy/casual dinner. If you’re looking for a nice meal in a professional yet comfortable atmosphere, come to Koberl at Blue. Also it’s very close to The Madonna Inn and a great, less expensive alternative to the Gold Rush Steak House (it also has more availability than the steak house) Our server was amazing (I’ve forgotten his name but it was something fancy that started with a B. Maybe Byzan or Bizan?) If you happen to get him you are very lucky although it seemed like all the waiters were all very kind! 5 stars isn’t even enough to express our enjoyment of this restaurant!

My hubby & I have always loved Koberl & were looking forward to celebrating our anniversary here post pandemic. We were not disappointed. The same great food & service as always. We started with fried calamari & snow crab chinois. Our main course was Sautéed Duck Breast & duck confit, Sea Bass with black beans, & rice with chorizo & fresh peas (yum!). For dessert we shared the vanilla Crème brûlée with fresh berries. Everything from start to finish was delicious and our server Eric was the best!

I love going to Blue. Patricia is a wonderful host! I always get the key lime martini hold the gram cracker rim. It’s my favorite! You can request the sugar rim instead… yum! It’s a great place to meet up with friends for a couple cocktails and some food. We also make this our normal stop before going to a show at SLO Rep. It’s a little pricy, but seems worth it to treat yourself.

We’ve had food and drinks at just about every place available in SLO and we keep coming back to Blue as our favorite spot over all. The craft cocktails are great and the food at the bar and in the restaurant is always excellent. The menu offers something for everyone. We love the appetizers! The ambiance, for us, is the best in town. But we most enjoy the staff. They are, without exception, personable and professional. Already looking forward to the next visit!

This is our family’s must to dine destination on each visit to SLO. It is an excellent restaurant with a classy atmosphere. It is consistent. It makes you feel good every time. The owner is there on almost every our visit and she is most welcoming. Staff is well trained and friendly.
