“I am vacationing in FL and met a friend who lives in the area that wanted to try out this place. We had gone to the Ringling College Spring Open House and arrived at Blue Pineapple Bistro around 1:40 pm.Karen had parked in the parking area right next to the Bistro but it looked full so I drove around half a block and found a large parking lot which appears to be available for the Dearborn patrons. Surprisingly no fee, and it even has its own restroom facility, map, and pathway to Blue Pineapple.It was Saturday afternoon and the deck was full with patron enjoying the day, live music. We were told we had to wait since no seats were available. I noticed that no patrons were sitting inside and we were to wait outside on the bench, so I walked to my car for a sweater and returned to discover we were already seated inside.Service was too quick for us as we were chatting, lots of choices, and hadn't decided what to eat so our waitress had to give us more time to decide. I was seriously contemplating the chicken taco but had really wanted the tator tots as a side and hadn't had a hamburger in quite some time, so chose the Basic Classic burger which did not disappoint in the least bit.Karen chose the Coconut shrimp appetizer dish for her lunch which she said was tasty. We had noticed the entire deck had cleared out, the musicians gone, and the servers cleaning up and placing chairs away. Our waitress had asked if she could close out the bill as it was 2:25 pm. I asked for a box as I still had half of the burger and more than half of the tater tots, and asked if they closed at 3 pm or 2:30 pm. Come to find out they close at 2 pm.After apologizing for delaying them, paid the bill quickly which is great since they bring the credit card machine to the table.Cute, casual ambiance. The fact that there was live music, though we were indoors.Food was good, service was too.“
