    I ordered the she crab soup and the crab salad. The soup had very good flavor, but there was hardly any crab in it. The salad was good

    The hostess was wonderful; put us at an excellent table with Kim as our waitress. Kim was just the right balance of attending without interrupting flow of conversation. The sea bass was absolutely perfect!! We drive 30 minutes to dine here- would gladly do it again!!!

    We dined outside and it was perfect! They did a wonderful job designing the outdoor area. It's very zen-like. The food was outstanding as was the service.

    We love coming to Chive Blossom! The food is great and so is the service. We had dinner this evening and sat at the community table. The chairs were not comfortable sitting there for any length of time. New cushioned chairs are highly recommended
