More information on Blue Hippo

"Life is too short to eat boring food" is the motto of this urbane bistro, a block from the MacArthur Center and The Waterside. Indeed, the food is anything but boring, creatively blending local produce with flavors from Thailand, Jamaica, and other spice-oriented locales. The menu changes frequently and always has a couple of surprises. For example, the crab cakes might be served with a tongue-teasing jalapeño sauce. The dining room is nicely decorated with colorful works by local artist Tom Barnes. This is more a fine dining spot than the more casual The 219 , with prices to prove it. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
