The Blue Door

This is one of the only two places in Fredericton which is reminiscent of a 'city' kind of nightlife spot. People dress up to eat here (unlike most of NB) and the service is taken seriously. We were there on a fully booked Thursday night, and sat in the lounge area. We still felt very much looked-after and everything was great. My partner had the house-made taglietelle which I tasted and was exceptional. I would go back just for that. I had the crusted Atlantic Char, which was well cooked and a nice healthy option, served on lemon cous-cous with bok choy. The creme brulee duo for dessert was excellent. Highly recommended, even if on the pricey side.

I was in Fredericton on business and enjoyed a nice meal here. The restaurant is definitely popular with the expense report crowd. The interior decor is fresh and modern. My crispy haddock was a well prepared meal, although the portion size was slightly on the small side.

I had business up in New Brunswick twice this past year and both times got treated to dinner here. The place is really cool. It's upstairs so not good for those who can't get up a flight but for the rest.. .I'd highly recommend it.
My first time we started with a baked brie that had yummie fruit in it and some pan seared scallops. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. For dinner I've tried the bacon wrapped fillet (go for it you can cut it with your fork) the next time I ordered a seafood pasta dish. It came with salmon and I asked the waitress if I could pass on that (it's one of the few fish dishes I never seem to like) and without blinking the waitress asked if I'd prefer extra scallops or extra shrimp!!! YAY! It was DELISH! The sauce wasn't too heavy and it was nice and garlicky, the shrimps and scallops were plentiful, I couldn't finish the plate and was too full to even attempt dessert though what I saw made me drool!
The wine list is awesome, I had a Cab from a vineyard in Ontario, it had a nice spice in the background. A friend got a local blueberry beer which I tasted and it was good, they even floated blueberries in it so they bounced around on the bubbles... I thought that was amusing!
If I'm ever up here again I'll make it a mission to go again as it was well worth it and there was a lot on the menu that I wanted to try!

had pad thai and it was inedible. could have been used as a foundation building material. and Way over priced. the cook and manager that let that dish go out need serious remediation. if you can't do it half right, take it off the menu.
every dish that passed my table seemed to have the same congealed white sauce. guess that is their signature dish.
this is not a place for food, but the drinks are good. the wait staff definitely hustles. decor is decent. just don't expect the food to be worth half of what you pay and you may be satisfied.
another problem is the water, which is undrinkable. it's overdosed with chlorine. a serious restaurant would use filtered water for cooking and serving. the blue door doesn't care and hopes that your standards are as low as theirs.
