    We have had good experiences at Blue River Bistro but last night was not good. Our server was great. The manager did comp our daughter's meal. I have the special, Wagyu Ribeye Steak. It was a bad cut of meat, not Wagyu. We will be back and believe they just had a bad night.

    Great dinner on a quiet evening in Breck (late Oct). The bison short ribs were exceptional. My wife's dinner salad with shrimp was equally delicious. Music this Monday evening was by Mark, and he's outstanding. BRB remains one of our most favored restaurants in Breck.
