About this restaurant

Great for live music

Neighborhood gem

BLAZE is more than just a dining experience – it’s a culinary spectacle.

We believe in the transformative power of fire, using it to craft steaks and other dishes cooked, or sometimes smoked, for your dining pleasure… always memorable and mouthwatering. Our menu is as diverse as our clientele with something for everyone from fresh pastas to meats and fish served “El Fuego.”

Our upscale setting seamlessly blends the warmth of a traditional bar and grill, with the sophistication of modern dining, making it the perfect backdrop for both business lunches and casual dinners.

But the BLAZE experience doesn’t end with the food. As the sun sets, our restaurant frequently comes alive with live and unique entertainment, ensuring that your time spent with us is memorable.

At 6:00, the entire restaurant/bar was empty except for one table. The lights were very bright. The staff was very nice. The large hallway that connects to the hotel lobby was filled with kids and at one point, one was riding a scooter. I think the concept was good, but the connection with the hotel needs to be more defined. I would also work on the lighting….way too bright for a sit down restaurant

Had 9pm reservation, called to confirm the reservation, when we got there we were told they weren’t taking reservations. We were told we could wait for Latin night to start and have some food then, 15-20 mins. An hour went by and still no food.

Didn't expect the restaurant to be part of a hotel. That was the only unexpected element of my experience.

It’s a hotel lobby restaurant. Our server was pretty disinterested. We had to go find her after our food came out and we wanted the check. Food was very good. Nice portions

The brisket is phenomenal here, keeping bringing back friends to try it. Every musical act we’ve seen has been great. You need to try this place

Really nice place to relax and eat a good meal. This restaurant is situated in the lobby of a hotel but the food is really good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant especially if you are traveling from out of town and you want some good tasty food. Even the water was excellent which comes to your table in a very nice bottle but overall this restaurant is definitely a place to eat and enjoy. I recommend this restaurant. Clean, quiet, good service, good food. Go check it out for yourself.

Dining in a hotel lobby is not appealing. Portions were generous but food lacked taste overall. I will not be returning.
