<b> Overall:</b> Cafe Bleu is a favorite spot of my husband and I. It's a small restaurant located in Hillcrest. The decor is modern and cozy. They have tables but also offer "booth" type tables with fluffy pillows. They have amazing food, amazing service and an awesome happy hour! <br /><br /><b>Value:</b> I'd say the value is really good! You definitely get a good portion of food and the price range is very average (if not lower) for an upscale restaurant.<br /><br /><b>Service:</b> Our service has always been awesome! The waitstaff and bartenders have always been friendly and accommodating, and are big reasons we keep going back. <br /><br /><b>Quality:</b> The quality of the food is outstanding! We have loved every single thing that we have ordered there. You cannot go there without trying the Pepper Steak Brochettes! They are out of this world. We also enjoy the calamari and cheese plate. We always start with a "fun" drink before wine. My favorite so far is the Blueberry Martini!! A must try!<br />

This was a terrific restaurant we decided to try for the first time. The ambiance was both elegant yet casual at the same time, the room was smaller for a more intimate feel, and the lighting was dimmed to create a pleasant dining mood. ...

The food was amazing, with quick and friendly service and staff. The interior was done great, with perfect lighting to create a very nice atmosphere. ...

Crush is a great place to go when you want simple elegance without fuss. Great wine and drinks at very reasonable prices. Hors D&#39;Oeuvres are scrumptious (I recommend the calamari)! Bartender is extremely knowledgeable regarding their ...

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to visit our page on Citysearch!

Although we have been in the restaurant industry for a long time and own Market Street Cafe in beautiful San Marcos, we are newcomers to Hillcrest. We feel most privileged to be so warmly welcomed by many in this exceptionally vibrant community.

We try to be the best we can be so that you can enjoy some good food and enjoy a relaxing time while enjoying your favorite wine--or discover new favorite ones--or simply enjoy a refreshing cocktail in a friendly and warm ambience. Deyna, our sommelier, makes sure that the wine selection is fresh and exciting. We believe that her selections are so innovative and compelling that we think you'll want to taste many of the wines that comes from all over the world; so we decided to offer all our wines by the half glass, the glass, and of course by the bottle. Perhaps we can tempt you with a personalized cheese selection from our extensive cheese board?

We are now open for lunch Saturday from 11:30 AM until 4:00 PM. We serve dinner every night starting at 3:00 PM. We offer brunch every Sunday from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM. All our wines by the bottle are half price" every Tuesday night. We like Happy Hour so much, that we decided to offer it seven days a week, even on Sundays. Why not! :-)

If you are looking for a welcoming place for your rehearsal dinner, a birthday party, or to reward your employees for their optimum productivity, let us design a special menu for you and your group.
