    Blue On Highland is in a convenient location. The parking is ample. The menu is basic gastropub fare for lunch. The portions are on the small side considering the price point.

    Menu was fabulous - lots of great choices and variety. I had the salad with shrimp, my dining partner had tacos. They were both terrific! We were there for almost 3 hours just catching up but never felt rushed at all - our server was great! I would definitely recommend and would go back!
