This restaurant isn't cheap. Try going for happy hour. If you order several happy hour appetizers, it will be enough for dinner. The atmosphere and decor is neat!

Happy hour is 4 P.M. - 6 P.M. Monday through Saturday and includes drink specials as well as a great bar menu. Most food items are five or six dollars and delicious! The restaurant's decor is marvelous and relaxing. A small room divider near the front has a slimline gas fireplace on top, and the outdoor patio has a gas... More

Went on a Friday night for a later dinner, was a log wait but we found a seat and range long community-type seat yourself table in the bar. Service was a bit slow but still ok, had the nachos as an app which were outstanding. Shared the pizza with green chills for dinner which was just a bit off, not... More

Blinking Light is easy to find in a local strip mall, so parking's no problem. The menu works for both carnivores and vegetarians, with large quantities that will find a lot of people asking for take-home boxes. I've eaten here several times over the past few months and have found that the quality is reliable and the staff knowledgeable. The... More

I've visited the Old Blinking Light (OBL) a ew times now and every time has been a great experience for me and whoever accompanies me. The staff is wonderful and so is the food and atmosphere. If you go, I would strongly recommend their mojitos and their mac n' cheese.

We came here for dinner recently and had a really good time. Service: Prompt and friendly. Our water glasses were frequently filled. One thing I honestly didn't like was that we had at least four different waiters bringing us different things. I would prefer to have one person wait on our table so they understand that we are currently eating... More

We had a discount coupon for the prix fixe menu for two here, and were pleased from beginning to end with the atmosphere, the portion size, quality of food, and the staff! Every staff member was polite, smiling, and helpful. We will definitely go back to try other items on their diverse menu!

A dining experience. Joseph Wrede formerly of Joseph's Table in Taos, named one of America’s 10 Best New Chefs by Food & Wine Magazine and was named the most promising chef in the US, created a diverse and enticing menu. From the french fries fried in goose fat and travel oil (so good that we ate them all despite the... More
