      <content>For OCI, try 503.961.6200.
For Bleu, try 503.294.9770.

I haven't been to either one. What I've heard - OCI is better than Bleu,
and that exhausts my knowledge on the subject.</content>

      <content>I have had lunch at both.  

Bleu is tragically bad...seriously horrific, in fact. Best advice I can give you is to avoid it...everyone I know who has had a meal here (lunch and dinner) thinks it sucks. Food is lousy, service was worse, prices ridiculous. I know they are students, and I don't mean to be overly harsh, but it was just awful.

OCI was a good lunch experience overall - decent food, very good service and a much better value for the price.  I have not been for dinner (it has been less than 2 months since they have been serving dinner), but will try it at some point.

      <content>Thanks guys, I ate at the OCI restaurant for dinner last night. Let me tell you what, the food was amazing, and surprisingly great. The service was great too. A four course meal for $14. I def. recommend it to anyone.</content>

      <content>I was there recently  for lunch, and it was terrific! Extremely attentive service and well-prepared, beautifully plated food.  Bleu has some serious customer-service problems which apparently come from the top down. Highly recommend OCI!</content>
