    Reservation process through Open Table was great. Blaze called to confirm six hours before our seat time. When we got there we were greeted promptly and seated within 15 minutes of our reservation time. We ordered two appetizers the oysters were overcooked. We ordered nothing special off the menu and delivery of food took an hour and 20 minutes. We inquired at about an hour to a waitress that was not ours and was told the kitchen was backed up. My mom's salad was earthy, unwashed. My daughter's barbecue ribs were raw on the inside burnt on the outside and slathered in barbecue sauce. The waiter offered no munchies to make us more comfortable and after about 45 minutes he completely disappeared. His effort to assuage my complaints was $5 off $150 check. I won't go back.

    We had a great meal, great service. It was not a detriment to our evening there but it is very loud. There are not many vegetarian options if that's important to you.

    We booked a party of eight for a double 21st birthday party and were so pleased with where we were seated and the cozy ambiance. The food was excellent--everyone was very happy with their choices--and the beverage list was amazingly extensive. The waitress was efficient and patient, but most importantly, she was very into supporting our good time with her upbeat, tuned -in attitude. I had been concerned with the possibility of Blaze being too loud, but, though it was louder than many restaurants, we could easily hold a conversation from opposite ends of the table. We couldn't have chosen a better restaurant and are eagerly looking forward to our next visit, but we won't wait for a special occasion.

    I was there on a very busy Saturday with an event going on in the park out front. The noise was horrendous due to the proximity to the sound stage and the need to keep the door open for, perhaps, ventilation. Unfortunately, it allowed the houseflies access, as well. There is nothing I dislike more than having to swat a fly away from a table while dining. I might as well go on a picnic. Also, the server committed a serious faux pas. She got 5 out of 6 meals to the right people. My business guest was, of course, the person whose food did not arrive with the rest of the table. The server realized the error, started to remove the plate and then put it back down on the table in front of my guest, saying she'd be right back. Why didn't she take the incorrect plate with her? We could have done anything to that food while waiting for the correct service! And, I bet the plate ended up in front of the person who originally ordered it. Inexcusable, in my book. As for the food, 2 people ordered salads and raved about them. Three ordered burgers and ate them without complaint. I ordered the meatloaf panini which was overcooked and was missing some of the ingredients. It was edible but not as tasty as I had imagined from the menu description. With all this said, I do realize it had been a very busy lunch period and that, no doubt, affected the food and the service. The houseflies have no excuse. And I think the service staff needs a little education about what to do when you don't pick up the right burger in the kitchen.

    We had a group of 6 for dinner. Apps included the pate, poutine, and the pork belly lollipops. Everyone was ready to fight over licking the plates!!! For dinner, we had pizza, gluten free pizza, panini,Mushroom & Gruyere, and the fries cooked in duck fat. BEST FRIES EVER!!! Great drink choices, including GF beers. The quality of the food was outstanding, and many gluten free choices with very knowledgeable staff on GF options. One of the best restaurants at which we've ever eaten, due to the unusual menu and fantastic wait staff. Would go to Bangor just to eat here-especially the fries and GF crispy pizza. 5 stars!!!

    Blaze is one of my favorite restaurants for the food selections, drinks , atmosphere, and service. However, I was disappointed on Valentine's day with the menu selection. I completely understand a special holiday menu for the ease and convenience on such a busy holiday, but I am vegan and gluten free and had not realized a month ago, when I had made the reservation, that I would only be able to eat one small modified choice off the menu. Blaze usually has so many options that I can eat which is why I selected it for my valentines destination. My boyfriend and I would have stayed longer, ordered more drinks, and the full courses, which sounded lovely, but since my options were limited we got one thing off the menu each, ate quickly paid our bill, and left. On a positive note the service was wonderful as always and I will continue to eat at Blaze regularly, but will probably pay more attention for holiday menu changes in the future before making a reservation.
