Copper Blue: A Review

Where to begin, the atmosphere or the food?  Depends on what you go out to eat for.  I honestly go for the food and usually can hardly tell about the atmosphere, because I am hungry and am busy reading the menu.  At Copper Blue the menu was barely a bleep on my radar, one page menu with 3 burgers, 8 entrees, what else could it be. 

Decorated like a 60's mod bachelor pad, it is hardly in line with the tag of being a "grub shack".  Music from the 80's, cloth napkins and red plastic coke cups threw me through a loop.  The food is an attempt to have a classy twist on regular burgers and steak, but everything is outrageously over seasoned. 

The only thing that I was impressed with is that you can get a small specialty salad with your meal, but don't eat the rolls.  My 'fish cakes' were all right but they were spicy, odd for fish cakes (and I love spicy food).  My husband had steak and it too was so salty and spicy that he only ate it to make it worth our outing.  The meat itself was a good cut and the smashed potatoes were decent too but also over seasoned which makes me wonder because there isn't even a need to season potatoes to begin with.  Unless you have barely any taste buds I would not recommend a visit and it barely made an impression on us.  It is doomed to be like every other restaurant in that building, gone in a year.
