Every time we come to the Cape, we try to eat at Bleu with friends from Woods Hole. The food is outstanding (esp. the desserts!), excellent service also. Highly recommended. read more

I have had mixed experiences here. Bleu is a refreshing option for contemporary fine dining on the upper cape, surprisingly located in Mashpee Commons. The decor is very well-done. Not particularly expensive nor even fancy per se, but like someone with very good taste on an Ikea budget, and it works. It's comfortable, quirky, sophisticated, and creative, like fashionable urban spots in Cambridge or the South End. The menu is ambitious, creative, and upscale, and the place deserves kudos for breaking the typical upper-cape model of steak tips and steamers. Decor and menu are both solidly in the "pro" column, as is the wine list. More mixed results with the service. The cape is a weird place for good servers. At these prices, service is not just about accurate order-taking, but about people skills and contributing to the atmosphere and enjoyment. Genuinely professional waitstaff are knowledgeable, personable, unobtrusive without being inattentive, and add to the enjoyment. Clipped, efficient professionalism is an acceptable "style", as is warm enthusiasm. What's not acceptable, at these prices, is the exasperated hash-slinging style of a harried working mom, nor the awkward, untucked student forced to get a job for gas money. This is not an objection to working moms or students waiting tables, but if you're earning fine-dining-caliber tips, you need to put your game face on. When an hour-long dinner for two nabs you a $20+ tip per table, you're making skilled wages. Simply taking orders accurately is expected at Dunkin Donuts. Earning $30+ per hour ought to mean being genuinely good at your job. Restaurant work is hard work, and people who are good at it earn their pay. People who are less good at it tend to still GET their pay, but damage the reputation of the restaurant. Every over-cooked steak, every poorly-paced meal, every empty glass, every table left waiting for a check or for change tend to still get the tip, it just leaves one more customer less likely to come back. Bleu needs to recognize this and to be more careful with whom they hire. The problem with a restaurant like Bleu is that I have come to expect that one visit out of every three will have something wrong with it. Most commonly the problem is mediocre service-- the harried, apologetic server who acts like the place is a packed diner on Sunday morning and who intrudes every ten minutes precisely to ask whether we need anything but who is otherwise nowhere to be seen, or the awkward student-type who doesn't know the wine list and who can only recommend that "everything is real good", who calls 30-year-old women "ma'am", and who takes the order and then comes back ten minutes later to ask how we want the steak cooked... I have never had anything bad, per se, but I have occasionally had a steak or some such that was cooked categorically a temperature too high. A few menu items should be scrapped. The mashed potatoes are bland, dry, and starchy, and have no place in a French fine-dining restaurant. The fish chowder is plain weird: thin, vegetable-y, bland-ish, and halfway to vichyssoise, except with big chunks of leek instead of a smooth, creamy puree. I am not sure that there is any justification for a place on Cape Cod of all places to offer anything other than good thick clam chowder, but when every corner pub has great chowder, you ought to be offering something categorically awesome if you're going to second-guess it. Simply making it more complicated does not justify charging more, and messing with local comfort-food is a dangerous business. If you're not going to follow the instructions, then you better be doing something really awesome, especially if you charge more for freestyling. A more consistent problem has been poorly-paced meals. For example: we order, and then get drinks and first course ten minutes later, and then get the main course plus salads two minutes after that, and then get bread sometime shortly afterwards. And then, while eating, spend five minutes with empty glasses on the table, and wait another 5~10 minutes to be offered dessert or a check, etc. I suspect we might be dealing with the perennial plight of creative restaurants: a visionary chef-owner with the culinary/concept skills to make a great restaurant, but who is lacking slightly in the business-management side of being a great restaurateur. It's one thing to make and serve a great meal for ten people, it's another to be able to cook for 300 night after night, and it's another altogether to create a business that creates a great experience for everyone who walks in the door, every time. The shame is that the business details ought to be relatively easy compared to the culinary and artistic skills. I would eat here a lot more often if they could nail down the basics, and I hope they do, because on a good night, it's a one-of-a-kind experience for the upper cape. read more

Our French go to not just on the Cape, anywhere in MA. We have a 2nd home not far away from the Commons, but aside from an occasional stop elsewhere, this is why we endure the parking hassles and crowds (well, in the Summer). Service is wonderful, often a french looking/sounding team to serve you. Just the warm breads are enough, but anything with duck has been a homerun. Apps and cocktails are also delicious. If only you weren't staring out at the other mall stores it would be a dream. Worth it. read more

What a shock! We have been having lunch at Bleu for years and my favorite has been the Croque Monsieur. When I ordered it last week it was half the size at the same high price. It was more like a a common ham and cheese sandwich. My spouse had the escargot as usual and it was so salty she almost couldn't eat it. Guess we have to find a new favorite lunch place. read more

Hands down one of the best restaurants on all of cape cod. Food is spectacular, staff is friendly and accommodating. From the drinks, to the food and desserts - never ever a bad meal or service. It's a go to for me. Always amazing! read more

We went for lunch and were very impressed. Everything was delicious and service was excellent. If I had more time on the Cape I would have come back to try dinner there too, the menu looked great. We had the Thai chicken salad and a Croque Monsieur - nice sized servings They even had a kids menu - my son's cheese and pasta was so delicious I ended up eating half of it myself! Nice place to stop for a break while shopping or even worth driving out for the restaurant itself. I will be back next time I"m on the Cape! read more

my family and i had an exceptional lunch at bleu today. we all had trouble deciding our choices, everything on the menu sounds so appetizing. i chose the black forest ham, gruyere and mushroom crepe which was delicious - hearty, savory and full of flavor. mom and dad were both thrilled with their choices, which i tried and loved as well. the decor and atmosphere were nice - chic and inviting. having lunch here in the off season is perfect. there is no wait, the staff is very attentive and the lunch time price is right. hopefully i can swindle some nice boy into bringing me here for dinner and drinks someday! read more

I gave Bleu one star for our waitress, while it took forever to get our drinks she was very, very kind. The second star would be for my food, I loved the skirt steak and my creme brulee. I deducted three stars because of the woman who sat us (the one with the super short blonde hair.) We had our two kids with us, whom I think were very well behaved. My two year old needed a diaper change so I took him to the bathroom and thank God I had a disposable changing pad because they do not have a changing table (yet they have a kids menu?) Well...in walks the blonde woman to clean up...yet she did not empty any of the over filling trash cans. She looks at me chaning my son in the handicap stall and asks if I would like to close the door to the stall. I said no I am almost done. Then in front of another customer says "Can you take the diaper with you?" WHAT?! You want me to take a soiled diaper out into the restaurant?! UNACCEPTABLE. How rude. I was furious. The other customer must have looked at her because she made another comment, "well it is going to stink up the bathroom." Funny, I have been to a ton of restaurants and have never seen a sign to take my sons diapers out. Needless to say I did not walk out of the bathroom with the diaper, I put it in a diaper sac and placed it in the over flowing trash. I should have removed it from the nicely scented sac come to think of it, or perhaps sat back down at our table with it. read more

I've been visiting Bleu for the past few summers and have had only great experiences. The ambiance is casual-elegance with a mild bistro feel. We enjoy taking lunch in the front room, and dinner in the main dining area. The service is inconsistent; mine has always been great, but my parents, who are regulars, have had some of the worst service on record there. The wine is good and the quality of the food is superior to almost any other food you can get on the Cape. I highly recommend giving it a try, and if at first you don't succeed, try again. read more

Wonderful food, wonderful service and lovely atmosphere. The only issue was Sunday "Jazz Brunch". The music was good, just too loud; made conversation very difficult. Especially if anyone is slightly hard of hearing. They didn't need any amplification; the place is cozy. read more

Had a Prix fixe dinner here. Totally recommend this value !! Choice from 3 apps, 3 entree and 3 desserts, 1 each per person. The price was $25.00 per person and was worth every penny!! I got the brie/chutney salad, Salmon over asparagus and sweet pot, and creme brulee dessert. There are recommended wine pairings, which I did partake. Portions were big and absolutely delicious. I was so full, I barely finished the dessert. Then to top it off, when they brought the check they served us a few hand made chocolate truffles. The place was beautiful, atmosphere very comfortable, service top notch and food outstanding. read more

Great food for the area, good French chef. Service could be a little better, but overall one of the better places around.

We had lunch and loved it. The French onion soup was delicious with a perfect amount of soup, bread & crispy Swiss cheese!! I could have had a second bowl for my entree the rest of our meal was just as good and we were very happy with their wine selection! We will be back. read more

OMG is this insanely {{{GREAT!}}} And in the middle of Mashpee Commons, no less -- not exactly the place you'd expect to find a seriously excellent restaurant, with remarkable food and somewhat reasonable prices (for what it is, after all). Wow. I was so impressed. Went there with a party of four, with my dad -- a fellow foodie. If he loved it I knew it had to be good, but it surpassed all expectations. The dinner (lunch) was incredible, and the dessert, which normally I'd avoid, sensational too. The wine was also wonderful. I would live there if I could, and just eat everything off the menu, one choice at a time. Having grown up on the Cape, there seriously didn't used to be restaurants this good available. This is more like Coolidge Corner, Brookline-level good. In Mashpee. Wow. Awesome... read more

Delicous food. One of my top 5 restaurants on Cape. They do need help w/ service though. It's not at all up to par w/ the menu.

We were lost! My wife said go left when when we should of gone right! ( I knew I was right!). Three hours of heavy traffic from Boston to Cape Cod on a Saturday afternoon had worn us out. We pulled into Mashpee Commons desperate for some R&R. Not having any idea of where to go My wife wandered into Blue. Two hours, four delicious cocktails, a glass of wine (recommended by our very attentive and gracious server) and a wonderfully delicious lunch, later we were back on the road and pointed in the right direction. The food! The service! It was wonderful! We'll be back! Thank you Blue for being there when we needed you. What a great experience! read more

I can't say enough about how much I love this place. We had our wedding reception here. The food was amazing. The service was amazing. Frederic, the chef, cooks the most heavenly food you can imagine and was willing to go off menu and tailor everything to our needs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or a more delicious reception. Even my French friends were raving. read more

Bleu is Blah! I took my wife here last week wanting to treat her to a special pre holiday dinner. They have taken out most of the comfy chairs in the bar seating area leaving standard seating only. Our waitress was frazzled some but nice none the less. We ordered shashimi for an appetizer and it tasted refrigerated and lacked flavor. My wife had the root vegetable dish that lacked pinache. I chose the salmon. A very small piece over fennel. The meal left me hungry. For the price of our meal I would rather have gone to the Roadhouse in Hyannis. read more

Bleu is my favorite restaurant on the Cape. The food is always outstanding, the service is attentive but not pushy, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The filet au poivre is my favorite, and it is better than most high-end steakhouses. The menu is outstanding from apps to dessert, and they always have inventive specials. The quality is A+ and you can tell they really care about ingredients and presentation. The prices are competitive with the Boston restaurant scene, and while I realize that a lot of people equate Cape dining with fried clams and lobster rolls, you really do get what you pay for. read more

Great food and a very friendly staff. The scallop dish on the menu was fantastic as were the escargot.

My husband and I had dinner there last Friday evening. I'm sorry to say that it was the worst duck that I've ever eaten. Tough and tasteless, almost tasted as though it had been frozen, and perhaps defrosted in a microwave. The sweet potato gratin was equally tasteless and the accompanying asparagus was under cooked. Dessert, however, saved the experience for me. I had the Carmelized Arborio Rice Pudding, which was delicious. Our server, Ty, was also exceptional. Unfortunately, we'll be looking for a different place to go for date night. It's too bad because Bleu is close to home and very convenient, and we do like the atmosphere. Not worth the prices. I can ruin my own duck recipes. read more

Just finishing up dinner here. Very happy we found this place. Having lived in France for some time we love finding places that epitomize the French love for food and ability to make the meal sing to you as you enjoy your dinner. We had a great waitress Iryna and were treated very well by Daniel our host. Looking forward to coming back! read more

One of the best restaurants on the Cape for sure, food is delicious, staff is professional, aesthetic & atmosphere is very cool. I know it seems simple and obvious to tell you to get the onion soup but get the freaking onion soup! But every bite is meticulously delicious here. Always a safe bet when you want to get a great experience for your hard earned female deer. read more

Good food, though not quite Paris. I give it 3.5 and round up to 4. The chef is on his game; the waitress was asleep. Had lunch with my wife on a beautiful sunny day out on the patio. I had the confit de canard, she the home roasted turkey club. The confit could have had a little more taste, but by American (not French) standards it was quite good. Apart from the absent-minded waitress, it was a pleasant experience. First she brought out the dinner menu at 1 pm. Then took 10 minutes to bring a glass of wine, and forgot a silverware service. Food price was reasonable, but wine was $17 for two glasses of a passable French red and a Rheingau qualitätswein. It came to $57 with a moderate tip. Quite a lot for lunch for two. May try it again but skip the wine. I drink a wonderful chianti at home for $8 a bottle. (I won't tell you the name because it might spoil the great deal.) read more

We live on Cape year round and Bleu is by far the best meal in Mashpee Commons and one of our favorites on the Cape.

Not great tonight. Anyone know if it's changed hands or chef since summer 2018? Chicken was bland and dry. The fries (which used to be fantastic) were anemic undercooked and more like kids style of French fries. Service was pretty mediocre too. Really seemed like the place had lost its touch. read more

We went here after some friends suggested it. We sat outside at a nice cafe table. The escargot was delicious, as was the bread and tapenade. I lived in Paris for a period of time and I can honestly say that the escargot was some of the best I've had. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. I also had the salad with a warm Brie crostini, it was tasty but I would have preferred maybe another crostini with the Brie. We both enjoyed the prime rib. The truffle fries were amazing! The decor was cute but you did still feel a little like you were in a shopping plaza and for the price, it would have been nice to have the feel be a little different. In fairness I might not have the same opinion if we went on a busier night and it was filled in with more people. read more

I've dined at Bleu several times, both at lunch and dinner. Previously, my experiences have certainly been above average, and I've considered it favorably as an enjoyable special occasion option. Last night, I dined at Bleu with four friends, and my impression was significantly elevated. Last night's dinner was, simply stated, one the finest meals I've had on Cape Cod, and I could probably expand that to say anywhere. Raw oysters were perfection. Briny sweet morsels from local waters that were so fresh and delicate, served with an exquisitely balanced mignonette sauce. The goat cheese and beet salad was completely on point. Many menus feature goat cheese and beet salads, but this one wins my top rating. I savored every bite, and found not only the presentation to be excellent, but the flavors and textures were ideal. I ordered Coq au Vin. I've had this dish at numerous restaurants over the years, but the Coq au Vin at Bleu is a show stopper! I'm still thinking about it today, and can't wait to return to have it again! The chicken was extremely flavorful, moist, and melt-off-the-bone tender, resting in the sublime sauce that was not heavy or overwhelming, but was, instead, scrumptious and revealing of pure and delectable flavors. Meanwhile, the bread, butter, and olive tapenade that were served for the table were outstanding. The wine list was appropriately inclusive of a variety of reds, whites, and champagnes, and we thoroughly enjoyed the selections of champagne and a Medoc, not to mention bottles of both sparkling and flat waters. Our friends were very pleased with their entrees of filet mignon, ribeye, salmon, and the vegetable stir fry. Then it was time to choose dessert. I'm not usually a big fan of desserts, so I can easily pass. Last night though, something told me that this, too, might be a special treat. I'm sooooo glad that I indulged. I ordered the strawberry sorbet. Oh. My. Gawd. I am swooning even as I write this. It was fabulous! Again, it is an offering that will have me returning to Bleu very, very soon. A generous portion of refreshing strawberry sorbet and sliced fresh strawberries are served in a jar, swimming in unbelievably delicious, ethereal, strawberry heaven. It has to be consumed to believe. Service was five stars from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Bleu, you "crushed it"! Thank you! Merci beaucoup! read more

My favorite restaurant at the Cape! Love how they add truffle oil to fries. Escargot from appetizers... yum-yum, delicious. The seafood tower is always super fresh. Still craving their fish chowder. Kids meals are probably the least expensive in Mashpee Commons, but the food quality is amazing: home made fries with a large slice of roasted chicken breast. We always have great time and delicious lunches and dinners at Blue. The most fun visit was on July 14th (Bastille Day). Looking forward to our next visit! read more

I ate at Bleu for the first time on July 31. We ended up having a late lunch/early dinner and ordered off of the lunch menu. This place came very highly recommended from various family members of mine. The lunch menu was great. I loved how the outdoor seating had the awning for shade. I had the fish chowder as a starter (potatoes and leaks--yum!). My entree was the grilled shrimp. Everything was pretty enough to want to take a photo and tasted amazing and fresh as well. read more

Scale 1 = poor, 5 = outstanding CUSTOMER SERVICE: 3. Attentive, friendly. FOOD: 3.5. Very good, not great. But that's an average. My wife loved her halibut carpaccio appetizer and salmon entree. I liked my 'les rillettes' appetizer but they actually give you too much of it -- it somehow cheapens it. And I got some french type of shephard's pie made with lamb. It was just OK. We both liked our sorbet dessert. AMBIANCE: 3. The decor is fine and we sat outside on a nice night which was nice But this place is located at a mall. Granted, it's one of those upscale malls where you walk around outside to all the stores. But it's still at a mall. VALUE: 3. Pricey. read more

We had Sunday brunch at Bleu with friends an had a good experience. Nice interior and a small crowd. My wife got the breakfast pizza, and I got the eggs benidict w/spinach and lobster. The bill for the four of us (plus desert) was $100. Well worth the value. read more

Excellent cuisine with very fresh ingredients is always a success. To definitely try whenever you come to Cape Cod. Don't dress too casual though as it is "the" elegant restaurant in town ;-) read more

Had a great experience at Bleu. Food was delicious and service was great. The only reason I didn't give it a 5th star is due to its location. To me it felt commercial. If this place had been in town and a free standing building, it would have felt different to me. Instead it felt like a mall joint. Would definitely go back. read more

I love Bleu! I will admit I have only been for dinner once, but I go for lunch often. The food is excellent and the value is exceptional (at lunch). The service is always great, albeit a little stuffy. It would be nice to see the waitstaff smile and enjoy what they're doing. They are very professional and task oriented. The wine list is one of the best around. Lunch at Bleu is on of the best kept secrets around. read more

We had a wonderful dinner, 3 of us having the Prix Fixe $30 3 course dinner with soup or salad , main course and dessert. This is offered Sunday-Thursday after September. The day boat haddock and salmon entrees were excellent.Very nice salt cod chowder. The desserts- pistachio creme brûlée and caramel arborio rice pudding with pralines were excellent as well. A member of our party ordered the filet mignon off the regular menu which was excellent . Very nice atmosphere and good service. read more

Had an amazing meal there. My friend got the filet mignon and said it was the best he had ever had, i got the duck- so good. Drinks are tasty, like the cucumber vodka that they make. Everything looks really good and the staff is friendly. read more

Hands down one of the best restaurants on the Cape that is affordable and relaxed. and has no attitude. The food is always good. I highly recommend it. I live in Los Angeles but always make it to Blue when I am in town visiting family. read more

This was our second time visiting Bleu. The first time was great, but this time not so much. We had reservations at 8, and were seated on time. The wine wasn't delivered until 8:30. Bread until 8:40. My wife ordered the scallops and was served sea bass, so we waited for the correct meal. The food was pretty bland, not what we had previously. Not really one to complain too much, but the whole thing wasn't very good. read more

A very cozy and romantic place to stop in. On the drinks menu "The Christophe" is not to be missed.
