The Blue Rock Restaurant and Bar
Reviews
Mouth watering homemade BBQ sauce on Java rubbed ribs for a tastebud changing experience!. Amazing selection of drinks! And live music performances. This place has it all.
The Blue Rock and Chris and Holly helped us host a wonderful Rehearsal Dinner for 21 people a week ago. It was perfect and they were so easy to work with, guiding us with the personalized menu, making us feel welcomed and special throughout the evening. It could not have been better, the food was terrific as was the service and ambiance. In addition, my husband and I have been there on separate occasions, for dinner and for Sunday brunch - again, wonderful meals and a welcoming atmosphere and great service each time. Definitely a wonderful place for a great meal in Shelburne Falls!
We had excellent food and a great server who took very good care of us. The seafood dishes (A scallop dusted with chili powder and lime; seafood with fusilli in a cream sauce) were well prepared, and the appetizers (a take on caprese salad with grilled bread; and a wonderful salad with walnuts/gorgonzola) were very generous portions that were absolutely delicious. This place was wonderful for dinner, but I'd also highly recommend for late night appetizers (PEI Mussels in a curried white wine, or Nachos) and drinks, as these two aspects of our dining experience alone were worth the visit.
Excellent in every way. Fun, warm atmosphere and very friendly and attentive staff. Extensive specials menu every week, lots of local ingredients, always something new and amazing to try. I dine here at least weekly and the food and service are consistently excellent. One of my favorite things about the menu is that it ranges from the totally affordable (totally delicious) "every-day" burgers, grilled cheese, appetizers, etc to splurge-worthy entrees fit for a special night out; there is something to please every taste and budget in your party. If you're just out for a drink, the bar offers a really nice selection of wines, beers and fresh cocktail specials that are to die for, not to mention, the best bartenders in town. (Bar seating is a great option if you're dining solo - they'll make you feel right at home and you'll be chatting with your neighbors in no time!) Chef Ramirez is incredibly creative and passionate about his craft, from concept to plating. Both he and the floor manager, Holly, love to get to know their customers and always make you feel like part of the Blue Rock family. Quality live music on weekends is always dining room-friendly. Lots to love about "the Rock"!
Amazing food, atmosphere, vibe! If you're in Shelburne Falls for a visit, or if you live nearby or in town, you must try it. The calamari in particular is singularly delicious. Not overly greasy, tender, crisp breading, great dipping sauce. Getting hungry just thinking about it....
