What Maritza Hegmann doesn't like about Friends Company:
smells like a nursing home. I guess we came early. the blue haare where everything is here. her website pottage her as hip and imaginative, but it's just a drab old place with mediocre eating. I paid $20 for the special flank steak and it was cold. over 50 you like it. young hipsters avoid it unless they try to impress the grandparents. View all feedback. What Sara Vinciguerra likes about Friends Company:
Such a beautiful surprise this restaurant! We were on our way to Cape Cod from NY and we decided to stop at this restaurant for dinner. It is very well rated (so we imagined it would be good but we couldn't expect such warm welcome, such good food and service! The outdoor sitting is very cute (with candles, flowers,etc. . The waitress and the owner always made sure we had a great experience. Food is also really good.... View all feedback.

The Blue Haare restaurant offers a mixture of opinions from patrons. Some find the atmosphere drab and outdated, with a limited menu and lackluster interior decor. However, others have been pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome, delicious food, and friendly service. The outdoor seating is charming, and the gluten-free and vegan options are well marked. Overall, it seems that The Blue Haare may not meet everyone's expectations, but it's worth a visit for those looking for a cozy and nostalgic dining experience.
