text: I have been to BLD times and I have to say it is kind of a wreck It is an upscale diner in a place filled with casual dining It is overly complicated and expensivennMy first expirience was a happy hour that did not bring me back until a work lunch The sandwich then was soggy on the bottom A coworker had the same order as me but his serving was tiny in comparisonnnMy daughters and I stopped in after a bike ride recently and split some of the house potato chips that do not seem to be on the menu They have a blue chees sauce and Franks hot sauce which the server said we could get on the side Since my young girls do not like spicy food we did The chips were good and fun but I think cheddar would be a good alternative to the blue cheesennI went back with my family to sit on the patio and have apps They do not have heat on the patio which one server described as small but really is notnnWe asked our waiter for the house chips and it took several trips to the kitchen before he understood what we wanted and figured out they could make them at first he said they were out of the sauce We forgot to ask for the hot sauce on the side and he did not think to recommend itnnAside from the chips we had the zucchini with red chili aioli the house salad calamari and bacon and parm fettuccininnThe zucchini was a decent value at HH prices but the sauce seemed more like ketchup and mayo than red chili aioli The house salad was also a decent value and but the the candied nuts were heavy handed and overly seasoned nnThe calamari was well done but the sause with just yellow with a bit of heat and seemed to be about too much at It really added nothing Even Carrabas has a better sauce The fettuccini was loaded with a ridiculous amount of bacon and was outrageously priced at for some bacon red onion noodles and cheese Cut out of the bacon and take off the price please nnnWhen we left the place at pm there were only a couple of tables working and a couple of people at the bar while UBs and Oreganos was packed With other gems like Pitta Souvli in the area I think BLD needs to find a way to be more competitive if they want to stay in business
