Absolutely love Bluestone, they do a really good Negroni and my favorite meal is the BCO sandwich - it is truly the best and the horseradish mayo that goes with it is perfect, great craft beer selection too, they just always hit the right spot every time I go, which it be honest is frequently

Great cafe. Fast casual place with good ambiance and tasty food/drink options. Surprisingly high prices though.

Very convenient Northwestern / Sports restaurant after you've done anything in Evanston whether it's catching a movie, shopping or going to a NW football game. This spot has a bit of an upscale vibe with commensurate prices including an amazing Kale & Quinoa salad (trust me!) and good pizza, sandwich and burger options. They recently removed grilled chicken from the menu but they will convert any sandwich or burger into one if you ask. The kitchen was a little sloppy tonight but the service was excellent about remedying the situation.

A restaurant begins with the food, and the food here is very good. I had a small chili and a small mac-and-cheese. The chili was just the right amount of spicy and had a mix of interesting tastes. The mac was very cheesy -- and without the breaded crust that many places add (unnecessarily). The people were very friendly, yet casual. They were always near by, and checked often without being intrusive. We left a generous tip. Bluestone offers a comfortable variety of bottle and draft beers; I had a Three Floyds hazy IPA, and it was the right amount of cold. Overall, a successful and enjoyable couple of hours.

I really liked this place! I work in the area and have been trying for roughly a year to find a nice spot for a burger and a beer. I came here before a basketball game last week and while I am shocked I have never been here before, it won't be my last time. This place is a little bit on the smaller side, but I sat at the bar. It looks like it gets busy often so the servers were kind of running around alot. However, when they did speak to me, they were excellent. I went with their Central Street Melt (their version of a Patty Melt) and that was EXACTLY what I had a taste for! Everything was very good including the fries. They also ran a pretty nice Happy Hour which worked well for my situation. Really the only "downside" was that it looks like they can get overwhelmed quickly as I mentioned that the service was a smidgen slow. Still, that shouldn't keep anybody from coming to this place. If you are looking for an upscale sports bar that is OPEN FOR LUNCH, look no further than Bluestone. I tend to have lunch meetings with vendors. Evanston has been lacking on some hip lunch spots so this is going on the list (sans beer of course!)

Ended up walking on Central Street to try and find a restaurant to stop in and grab dinner. The Bluestone Happy Hour sign from 4-7 on weekdays was enticing enough for me and my friend to go in. When we came inside and got to our table we asked for a booth but we were told reservations were coming in and would be utilizing the booths. So we sat in regular seats. By the end of our time eating and drinking we noticed we could have easily sat in the booths because reservations had not come in yet and we wouldn't have disrupted these reservations that were in place. Besides that, service and food was good. I enjoyed the burger and fries I ordered. A bit on the pricey side, especially for the appetizers, but overall a good experience was had at Bluestone.

Today is a great day to walk around. Haven't seen the sun out for days. And it's more than a bright day cuz of the sun. It's a nice day to stumble across a nice place for a meal and good vibes. Thanks for the nice hospitality and the food look great and was yummy yummy too.

5 stars for the super thin pizza. Every time I'm here I get the pizza, I just can't get past it even though they have a full menu. This is the original recipe from the old Candelight not the current one. They have been serving this pizza since they opened many years ago and I've been here dozen's of times and I can't explain why I haven't written a review. I loved this pizza when it was at the old Candlight on Western avenue and still love it at the Bluestone. It really is one of my very top super thin pizzas ever anywhere.
