What People Are Saying About BLD

The Editor

Alison Kramer

Citysearch

In Short – By day, sunshine floods this lofty space through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating luncheon business deals and buzzing Beverly locals. Blond wood and warm yellow lights keep the energy up in the evening, when wine-swirling patrons invade the bar. The clean, modern space is minimally adorned with a twisted driftwood sculpture and onyx stones. Operated by Neal and Amy Fraser (Grace Restaurant), the modest American menu embellishes casual dishes with gourmet flavors and flair. Sundry plates of exotic cheese and charcuterie, like decadent Pierre Robert triple cream and cured…

Service - Gracious Food - Wonderful

by Vicki Harbath

They treated our children with respect (even though they were the only children there,) the food was wonderful and everyone there was having a lot of fun. Very comfortable atmosphere. Our waiter, Parker, was alway attentive, friendly, and service oriented. He made great suggestions on menu items. We had a wonderful time.

Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes

by FFanatic

I saw 'The Best Thing I ever ate' in Foodnetwork show and it was recommended for the Ricotta Blueberry Pancake at BLD. We went there on Sunday morning and ordered that with their thick bacon on a side. Well, the pancake was huge but I did not taste any Ricotta and the frozen blueberry was lost too. I wished they could make the pancake a little smaller but add more quality. The texture was better than IHOP. However, the bacon was awesome. My recommendation to the chef is to make it look like it's name...where is the ricotta?

DID SHE WAS HER HANDS?

by Passionateaboutfood

Had to wait 15 minutes for a food server whom we were told was in the BATHROOM! Couldn't they have assigned someone to assist? How about a manager stepping in. The food was wrong when we finally got it and they took another 15 minutes to bring us KETCHUP!... We has to ask for her twice! For a breakfast entree that is $18.95, the service should be as high! So disappointed. We will not return. MY RATING IS ZERO STARS!
