    Amazing experience. I recommend to everyone. Food was đź’Ż so so so good and done so well. Server was polite. Could have checked back a few more times, disappeared for very long stretches. Timing very slow for all 3 courses so be prepared to make dining an entire evening experience for a 5:30 reservation completed meal after 8 pm.

    These up and coming chefs are absolutely knocking it out of the park! Under the direction of the former chef de cuisine at Red House, the students in the Conestoga culinary program are definitely earning their chops. The restaurant itself is a clean and inviting unpretentious venue inside the campus. I've read a few reviews critical of the service which I found quite unfair given that the students are learning and gaining real life experience. I'm grateful for the restaurant's decision to entertain patrons outside of the college itself and to offer such competitive prices for creative and nutritious meals.

    I'm hesitant to write how much I've enjoyed dining at bloom. as I'd love to keep this place a hidden gem! The restaurant is situated inside a Conestoga college campus and the up and coming chefs are preparing dishes that rival some of the restaurants in town. The 2 or 3 course offerings are a fantastic value to say the least! So happy to take part and support the next generation of chefs!

    Had a great experience! The food was absolutely mind-blowing, and I could really see an improvement in the service since my first visit. My only feedback would be for the servers to feel more comfortable and engage in a bit of small talk—it doesn’t have to be too formal. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!

    New Bloom season opened today with lunch service. The team did an exceptional job and the four of us really enjoyed our meals.

    I had a wonderful experience. I have a lot of dietary constraints, which were handled wonderfully. The students were definitely nervous (I was there on the first day of public service for lunch, I think), but front of house was great, too. I definitely recommend a meal here.
