What People Are Saying About Blue Hill
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – The small, below ground dining room has the feeling of an exclusive, well-bred supper club. Framed by backlit banquettes and warmly illuminated brick walls, and with a cozy bar at the entrance, the design is refreshingly notable for advancing absolutely no architectural metaphors--it's just a nice place to eat. The staff, while professional, can be humorless and rote. – – The Food – You certainly won't need to be carried to a cab from overeating here. In the feathery, well-conceived dishes of chef-owner Dan Barber, flavored broths supplant virtually all…
Perfect for a special occasion
by Stephanie Fees at Citysearch
Came here for a non-special occasion dinner, but the majority of those around us were there for birthdays or other special occasions. The food was AMAZING, and very accessible for the price point, meaning you didn't have to ask the waiter what things were on your plate - they aren't trying to disguise the food into ambiguous dishes, they let it speak for itself. I had the morning egg, which was FANTASTIC and highly recommended, the duck, and quince for dessert. I'm in culinary school, so I put my food through a thorough examination, and everything was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. The waiter even noticed me examining my food and guessed I was in culinary school and offered a tour of the (unimaginably small) kitchen. Great food, great service. Highly recommended.
- Pros: Great portion size, fresh ingredients
- Cons: none!
nearly flawless
by saoirse78 at Citysearch
Excellent execution with the freshest of ingredients which are aloud to shine on their own merits without any overpowering spices or sauces. Best of class among the new american/season/local restaurants. The space mirrors the food in its elegant simplicity. Excellent service to boot.
- Pros: incrediblly fesh ingredients, solid wine menu, not stuffy
- Cons: can drain your wallet, but better value most
The Details on Blue Hill
Know Before You Go:
Blue Hill fills up early, but you can dine at the handsome limestone bar, and probably meet fellow dining room refugees.
Where to Sit:
A small covered patio out back is a pleasant option, but only in warm (not hot)l weather as it lacks air conditioning.
