We’ve walked past this restaurant on our way to Insomnia cookie. Today we went for lunch. We ordered the ravioli and the crab cake salad. The homemade pesto dressing on the salad was excellent and I’m not someone who seeks out pesto. The ravioli was delicious. The side bread and smooth butter was the icing on the cake! We will be back to try more of the menu.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

You can’t go wrong with the secret garden, indoor, or front porch seating. Atmosphere is great in each spot. Our servers are always fantastic, and our server this time, Emily, even made me a perfect espresso tonic which I requested but wasn’t on the menu. Too kind! Food is always amazing. Can’t say enough great things about this restaurant. Love the local art as well!

Recently my wife and I visited for the first the Blue Dahlia Bistro located on the San Marcos square. We like the location with its being on the San Marcos square as we were able to stroll the area for a relaxing walk. We chose to dine inside but there is ample seating outside at the front. My wife and I both ordered the Mushroom Veggie Fritatta which consisted of mushrooms, veggies, and Brie cheese, and was accompanied with a side salad and fresh bread and butter. The dressing we chose for the salad was Pecan Pesto and it was very flavorful and delicious. The fritatta was very tasty with a nice mushroom and cheese flavor enhanced by the Brie cheese. The server, Emily, was very efficient and friendly as were the other employees. Our meals were delivered quickly. My wife and I were impressed by both the service and the food, and we intend to return soon. I highly recommend this restaurant.
