Bleu

Bleu is an Italian trattoria style restaurant located at the north end of Manhattan, near Fort Tryon Park in New York City. We had a pretty average meal there - everything we had was good. We weren't disappointed, but nothing was outstanding, either.

Average - Most salads are around $10, and main courses around $20.

Items Ordered

Sangria Carafe

Sangria Carafe

I don't think Sangria is really an Italian thing, but we noticed the table next to us had some, and it looked good, so we also ordered some. It was fruity, with some small pieces of apple in it.

Mediterranean Tapas

Mediterranean Tapas

The strangest thing about this plate was the falafel balls - they weren't traditional falafel. It almost felt like fried spiced mashed potatoes. The other items were all fairly typical.

Grilled Salmon

Grilled salmon

The grilled salmon was very well grilled on the outside, but the inside could have been coked a bit longer. The broccoli was pretty plain - it tasted just like plain broccoli that had been steamed. The cream corn sauce was delicious - the corn was quite sweet, and so was the cream.

Eggplant rollatini

Eggplant rollatini

The eggplant was in a fried batter, which was a bit unexpected. This was more like an eggplant parmesan. The eggplant rollatini was also quite salty.
