Blue River Bistro

What a phenomenon dinner and one of the best meal we had in the past 5 days during our trip! This venue is inviting and gives a relaxing calming vibe, the service was great. For starter we ordered the Elote and Grilled Calamari, both were very good and appetizing. Their House Focaccia with chimicurri sauce was absolutely fantastic. My Chilean Sea Bass was cooked perfectly with the skin a bit crispy and delicious. Hubby's Sakura Farms Pork Chop was juicy and flavorful. Not to mention they are not stingy on the portion, we were so full and didn't have room for dessert. I Highly recommended this place and definitely will be back on our next visit in Breck. Be sure to make reservation in advance!

BRB has the best happy hour in Breck hands down! Their martinis and small plates are so delicious and their happy hour prices truly cannot be beat. The service was fantastic! Our server was super attentive and kind. He also gave great drink and food recs! Be sure to book a res though, as this place gets super busy especially during their happy hour period! Either way, it's a must visit on the main drag of Breckenridge!

This is our most favorite place in Breckenridge for Happy hour (4-5 pm martinis) and definitely their amazing menu. This visit we had the pork chop (drool) and the fluffiest, most pillow like Sea Bass. If the meat entrees weren't good enough the plating of flavors is outstanding. Squash, maple bourbon mushroom risotto & pancetta-tomato chutney on the chop.Acorn squash puree, fingerling potato, broccolini, pomegranate-tomato chutney on the Sea Bass. It was really another amazing meal. Ps the home made House Focaccia with fresno chile chimicurri is also binge worthy! I was so excited for this meal, I didn't take photos this time!Our service is always incredible. Never waiting long for drinks, service or food.

This was our favorite place we ate while in Breckenridge. I highly recommend reservations as once folks get done skiing, it fills up quick! We had a reservation for 6 pm. We arrived twenty minutes early and they were able to seat us right away (yesss!). Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable. She gave us her opinion on some drinks and even let us know the entrees were good sizes when we weren't sure how much to order. Now, the main event, the food. I want to relive the meal over and over haha. My husband got the salmon and the breading plus risotto were to die for. My keema was everything I wanted, warm curry flavors. I added the tiger shrimp and it made the meal. Space can be a little tight at the two person table, so you'll likely be close to some folks not in your party, but make sure to hit this spot if you can. Service was prompt and we would return in a heartbeat.

One of fav restaurants in Breck- great service, AMBIANCE WAS AWESOME- live a music was great. Highly recommend- Waygu Sweedish meatballs, calamari, Bisorn Short Ribs(best I have had) and Ceaser salad. What a great dinner and a special spot in Breck!

Grabbed some brunch here with a part y of 8, 2 of which were toddlers. My husband tried the chicken and French toast which was the special. It was delicious! They had good brunch drinks including a passion fruit drink that was tasty. It wasn't very packed and we were seated very timely as we had made a reservation. Our server was great, very accommodating with us and the two kids.

Road trip to Breck. Breckenridge is gorgeous and there's so much to like. We were on our way to another place, spied the line, lol and decided to divert to a fast plan B. This was our first mistake of many. For the record, Yelp is usually always a slam dunk. I honesty think this was maybe a one off for the restaurant or def rethink coming here for brunch. In looking at all the reviews, the reviews for brunch were slim pickings, so maybe consider the 4 stars if you're here for lunch or dinner. 4 stars? Not so much for brunch or our experience. We came early on a Saturday. We saw an outdoor 4 top table with a patio shade. I asked if we could sit there, despite being a party of two. Hey, it never hurts to ask. Big no. It was reserved. But no worries, they offered us a high top wine barrel "4 seater" in the full sun. Alright. I rotated chairs a few times to outrun the morning sun. It worked. What upset me was seeing the 4 top "reserved" table still empty as we left the restaurant almost an hour later. No reserved sign on the table as we (again) passed the table on our way out. Maybe I'm being petty, maybe not. Strike one. Strike two came soon after when we asked specifically, before ordering, if they had stevia and/or monkfruit as sweetener options for coffee. A $5 cup of coffee. Yay for having heavy whip but I was disappointed to see the sweetener options, particularly after the coffee was brought. Yes, this is a small thing. This is also why I think small things count, lol. Back to the cute table with shade. I had direct line of sight to said table and empty table that we had asked to sit at originally. Still empty. Who knows, maybe it really is reserved. Be nice, Wendy. Calm down. So, moving on to ordering our entrees. I ordered the Green Chiliquilas and my guy ordered the Bison Short Rib Hash. Sadly, both were a massive disappointment. I'm usually a fan of most places Yelp points us too. I typically rave about food but often don't give specifics about what I loved other than saying things like "the flavors were on point", things were "seasoned well", etc. It's always a stark contract when things don't fall in place. I immediately notice what didn't go well. Today, it was being served lukewarm food, or in my partner's words, cold potatoes. My egg was runny (not over easy - maybe over easy easy), def not visually appealing. I was a little surprised to see the dish and recall its price - $17. Add avocado and paying $20 for an egg, 1/3 of an avocado, salsa and soggy, lukewarm chips. I'm fairly certain the plate hung out too long before being brought to the table. Maybe it would've arrived warmer if my theory was right. My partner also shared that his plate was cold. Ugh. The bison wasn't worth commenting. Oh man. I hate that we chose poorly. And we're paying a lot. This was strike three. Ok. Didn't really finish anything. No to the coffee. No to the brunch plate and meanwhile, I can still see the empty table. It's the little things for me. Always has been. If you take a look at my ratings, you'll see that I rarely rate lower than 3 stars. Other than the waitress being nice (but sadly uninformed), we were so disappointed. $50+ for sub par breakfast and coffee for two folks. No cocktails. Nope, never again. Breck has so many other laid back fabulous options. We won't try Blue River again.

Loved grabbing lunch at this joint. It was nice that they had some outdoor dining because the views and atmosphere are unreal.There was a good variety of vegetarian dishes, and if that's what you are in to, be sure to order the forbidden burger. The Caesar salad was underwhelming, but there were other menu choices that sounded much more flavorful.Oh and they have a great happy hour with BOGO apps. Great time to share some plates with friends.

The happy hour is fantastic! The martinis so many options and fantastic! The food was also delightful. The ribs fell right off the bone and grilled calamari was very tasty. Our server was very friendly and good. Love the outdoor seating and bonus was dog friendly. We will be back for happy hour

Great spot to visit while you're in Breck to get drinks and catch up with friends. We really enjoyed the entrees and cocktails we enjoyed, but something about the appetizers didn't sit well with us. The food all tasted good but bothered our stomachs a little after. I'd love to return to give this another chance (that's why I'm giving a 4 since I understand this probably was a one off experience).
