    My wife loved her crab cake. She said it was one of the best, if not the best, she has ever had. My experience was a little different. I ordered the ravioli special, lobster ravioli. The ravioli was very tender - house made for sure. The filling was spartan, with ground lobster meat. The sauce was too overwhelming- the ravioli was swimming in it. My lobster tail was a little rubbery and lacked flavor. Serice was attentive. Meals came out timely. Focaccia bread was excellent. It is a BYOB, although I didn't see any mention of that when I booked. I would have brought a much better wine than I was able to buy in the nearby liquor store, Finally, I thought it was on the expensive side, but given it is a BYOB, so I understand they need to make a profit.

    Been to Blend many times over the years but was especially disappointed with the food this time. Though my old favorite the Asian Calamari was excellent, my father and I each had the special Beef Negemacki. There was total inconsistency with this dish. It was almost as if we ordered different entrees. The beef was under-seasoned and each of us had different vegetables in the wrap. On the other hand, the jelly donuts were superb and our server Elle was a delight. However, that entree dragged down the whole meal.

    Food was great both seafood and steak. Pricing is within range of the quality of the food you are receiving. The service was right on. Relatively quiet. Nothing worse than a noise dining area that doesn’t allow your party hear one another. The main dining area has more ambiance than their smaller room that over looks the Main Street with walkers and car traffic passing by. If they had curtains going half way up the windows it would probably be perfect, at least more is a desirable room. Would definitely return and recommend.

    We dined here on Saturday night. We had a lovely relaxed meal outside. Our server Deidre was attentive, but gave us plenty of time to enjoy our meal and our company. We had the Asian calamari as our appetizer- a long time menu staple- always delicious, and the tuna bites which were great. I had the halibut on the menu which I really enjoyed, and another of our party had the pork chop. Huge portion- enough to bring home. And since it’s a BYOB that’s an added plus.

    We sat in the "quiet dining area" and it was QUIET! What a pleasant room to be in. The variety of food was impressive and everything was delicious. The crowning gem to our dinner was that the server was outstanding. It is so rare today to find a person like her. We plan on returning soon.
