Brand New Brunch Menu SAT & SUN

Over the past two years our Sunday brunch 10- 2 every Sunday has become one of the local’s favorite spots. So we decided to ad another day. Bunch is now avaible Saturday and Sunday. Just last week we rolled out an expanded brunch menu and cocktail list. The new menu has some of the old favorites but added things like giant fluffy butter milk pancakes, braised local pork shoulder hash and eggs, and a slew of new frittata including a Maine lobster, asparagus and black truffle frittata. If it’s something from our bar you’re looking for we’ve got you covered, our morning mixologist has whipped up fruity mimosas and bellin’s served up as big as your head, or sip a signature bloody Mary on the last weeks of our heated outdoor patio.
Sunday Brunch Served every Sunday morning 10:00am – 2:00pm

Dine for a Cause a Huge success!

Dine for a Cause a Huge success!

Pesce Blue was honored to be able to provide for such a great cause, and I want to thank all of you who joined us last Friday night to support Deborah and the leukemia and lymphoma society in their efforts to help find a cure, for such a devastating disease. Pesce Blue raised $832.00 and that pushed Deborah way past her goal, and we couldn’t have done it without you; one night together in our lives, will help make a difference in the lives of many for years to come!


Dine for a Cause


Dine for a Cause at Pesce Blue
Join us Friday June 22 nd as we sponsor my sister Deborah Arrand and her participation in the Mayors Midnight Sun Marathon, a race to benefit the leukemia and lymphoma society.
This Friday 20% of every meal served will go towards helping Deborah reach her goal of $4700
More than 785,000 Americans have leukemia, every 5 minutes someone new is diagnosed, and every 10 minutes someone dies. Deborah has been training for the race since January and we are very proud of her for all of the hard work she has put in. So far she has managed to raise $3700, So please come and "Dine for a Cause" and join Deborah in her efforts to help find a cure. Cancer no matter what type effect's us all, together we can make a difference.
