A Real Review: Bleu- Rendezvous, A Sanibel Stand-Out

We often rely on reviews of vacation rentals, hoping that what is written comes close to reality.

And , while that happens some times, it does not happen as much as we would like.

The same holds true for evaluations of restaurants.

Truth be told, there is no accounting for taste.
So we preface this blog post with these statements of disclosure.

We have experienced this fabulous restaurant personally.

We are fairly sophisticated diners, and have enjoyed the opportunity of eating in some wonderful restaurants around the world.

We have no business or other relationship with Bleu-Rendezvous.

And we do love this place....for the food, for the service, for the comfort , for the convenience.

A recent dinner with 2 couples had all four of us exceptionally pleased with our orders.  The meals were beautifully presented, fresh and pleasing.  Two of us had the trout, which was simply remarkable for flavor.  One had the coq au vin and another the beef bourguignon.  Both utterly delicious.    The escargots as appetizers  were fresh and hot and garlicky.   The crème brulee for dessert was the sweet and final touch. 

The wine on the menu is also very diversified and special pairings were made.

Service was attentive without being intrusive, and though the restaurant is intimate in scope, in no way is it claustrophobic.  We were at enough distance from other tables to have a lively conversation with no fear of interfering with other diners, and had no discomfort emanating from other conversations.

So we welcome Bleu Rendez-vous into the Sanibel family of great places to eat.  From our one experience thus far, we would certainly put this lovely eatery into the top tier of restaurants on Sanibel and Captiva.  Try it. We are betting you will love it!
