...Blue Room’s weak spots seem a product of an overeager desire to please and misplaced worldly ambition, like an annoying kid in section. The roasted red onion tart with Stilton and aged balsamic vinegar ($9), for example, was a solid effort that just missed the mark. Combining the strong flavors of Stilton and balsamic with sweet onion and buttery pastry is a great idea.
