I have been dying to try Blue Ridge ever since it's opening in Glover Park earlier this summer. I finally went in last week with my father and some friends who joined us for dinner. The restaurant was EMPTY which I actually loved because I hate shouting to be heard, and apparently had joined other DC restaurants in extending restaurant week since the week-long specials didn't bring out as many diners as hoped. Because several of us got the three course (with anything on the menu) restaurant week deal they gave us several other appetizers to share. We chose the deviled eggs and the sweet potato fritters, both delicious. My meal was a mixed green salad with paper thin apple slices and a lemon dressing and the grass-fed hanger steak that came with root vegetable "mash" which I think was mostly mashed sweet potatoes. For dessert I had ice cream but got to try some of the peach cobbler and pecan pie, both scrumptious! Everything was wonderful, the service was good, and the decor was country but not too kitschy. I would highly recommend Blue Ridge (it is so worth the trek to Glover Park for some grass fed beef!)and I hope it can stay open in this tough climate for restaurants!
