    The worst experience at Blend that I ever had in 4 years. Maybe it was the Holiday Weekend, but our orders were totally mixed up and served late. My wife's orders for her Appetizer and Meal came out together, early. My appetizer order was served 10 minutes after my wife's order and then the Entree came 10 minutes after that order. We had to just leave and take our meal as a "To Go" order. The server was pre-occupied with others and made no "adjustments" to our bill. Not sure if we'll ever go back to one of our favorites.

    First—thank you for being a loyal guest for four years. That kind of support means everything. I’m truly sorry your experience this time fell short. Holiday weekends can get hectic, but that’s no excuse. You came for a great night, and we didn’t deliver. That’s on us—and I take full responsibility. Mistimed courses, inattentive service, and no fix offered at the table? That’s not how we do things at Blend, and it pains me to hear we let you down like that—especially someone who’s supported us for so long. Please don’t give up on us yet. I’d love the chance to make this right and remind you why you loved dining with us. Reach out to me directly.

    The food was wonderful, the service attentive and unobtrusive and the restaurant is beautiful. They immediately accomodated our request for lower music and a warmer temperature. Probably the finest gnocci and jelly donut dessert I have ever had. We will be back!
