For an appetizer selection, only chooosing one ofthe items was just not enough for me. Thankfully, there was an appetizer combination listed at the very bottem. Upon ordering the selection.. the most appealingg seemed to be the two crab cakes, the smoked duck quesadill, six hrimp brochettes, and shrimp reoulade. The nbeginning of th course was probably the most exciting because there was a variety t vhosse from. This appetixeer combination was big enough to serve an an entre. These four selections served on beautifuylly decorated plates, which took about fifteen to twenty minutes to arrive at the tasble. Although a little on the pricey side at thirty dollars for the appeti9zer conbinagtion, one would say it was well worth it if they were all served hot. Only three of the appetizers were served at the right temperature. The duck wasnt exactly the temperature one would hope when being served a meat and cheese together.

The Blue Dog caf3e is an upscale restaurant that should require training or adequate skills to fulfill their
