text: I had a hard time deciding between a or star rating I went to Bluephies a lot years ago for brunches and lunches and pretty much enjoyed my experience star I moved out of the neighborhood and was never inspired to trek up Monroe St after that However I went last week and the entire experience ranged from average to awful nnThe awful The menu was short but in my experience that is often a good thing I chose the peppercorn crusted tuna steak ack This dish is not for peppercorn lovers it is for people to like to eat drink and wash with peppercorns It was just way too much and sort of spoiled the taste of the meat My sides were both strongly flavored overspiced and did NOT compliment each other considering my mouth was on fire from chomping down on those little peppercornytreatsnnThe okay The service was attentive it took a reasonable amount of time for our food to come out the restaurant was clean My dining companion rated his black bean burger as average My dining companion and I appreciated that the drink menu had a few unique local beers on it they were the best part
