Editorial Review for Blue Dahlia Bistro – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
In a venue that feels more like French countryside than East Austin, students, professionals and gourmands enjoy casual dining and conversation. The intimate interior features tan and oak colors, offset by deep blue hues and warm lighting. The counter's bakery case displays a selection of rich pastries and artisan breads. Chicken salad, brie, hummus, cheese and garbanzo beans are key menu ingredients while cappuccino, latte and espresso complement the small beer and wine menu.

I literally could hang out here just about every day - there menu has so many choices and it's all so fresh and great - I never leave feeling stuffed but always leave feeling satisfied. I highly recommend the brie and preserves and the bread pudding.
Pros: Food is so fresh and presented so well.
Cons: Unless you live near East Austin it's a little out of the way.

Wow - what a great place for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert!! The courtyard in the back is gorgeous! At night, with the live candles, it's a beautiful palce for dates or other gatherings. (Exception: We went one night when it was cold, but it did not have the heater lamps -- so it was cold and unpleasant and we had to rush out.) The waitstaff is nice, and the bathrooms are pretty, and the entrees are fresh-looking and super tasty. Prices are average. Definitely worth checking out! Also very Austin "green, granola, and organic" feeling. But watch out if you ask for bottled water -- one staff was super snide to me and said "We don't believe in plastic bottles here!" So - I wasn't able to get any water to go.
Pros: beautiful setting
Cons: not many warm entrees
