    Great restaurant. Food was incredibly fast after ordered and only two gripes: 1. The fish in the ceviche was a tad tough and could have stood a little longer in the marinade before serving; 2. As a dinner meal, we thought the lighting in the place was a bit dark. True, most of the menus had a built-in light source (never seen that before). However once the food was served, it couldn't be seen as clearly as one would like. Perhaps the very low lighting is due to making the NYC backdrop look more dramatic. The view was fine but still, we like a better look at what we're eating. *** Will almost certainly go back again when in that part of Queens.

    We had a very fun sisters' night out at Blend on the Water. The interior is stunningly appointed with colorful modern floral decor. The view of the NYC skyline right outside the window is unbeatable. We enjoyed the Wednesday night happy hour drink specials and the food was delicious! Highly recommend for an adult night out.

    Came here for my birthday. Had been meaning to check it out. It’s definitely a popular celebration venue, as there were at least 4 other birthday celebrations that evening. The ambiance was as expected—energetic vibe with lots of colorful decor. The food was good. Not the best I’ve had, but a good meal. My only complaint is that I had requested multiple times to sit by the waterfront (the view was one of the primary reasons I picked the restaurant). There seemed to be plenty of available tables when we arrived. Instead, we were seated next to a giant column on the street-side of the restaurant.

    I had made my reservation for earlier and requested a table with a view. We were sat by the window next to what looked like construction site. After ordering our appetizer a rat ran outside the windowsill at which time we asked to be moved over to more of an unobtrusive view. We were denied as “it was a different server section” however in watching our server was the only one working. This very much ruined the experience which other than this was great food and lovely service. Be more accommodating especially when your restaurant is 3/4 empty.

    Second time coming here in 8 years and my boyfriend’s first time. Food was excellent. Great flavor and portions. For appetizers we have the shrimp Al Diablo and the chorizo Mac and cheese both *chefs kiss*. We had the pernil and churrasco for entrees. Food hit every note! Drinks were good too!

    The restaurant was about half full at the time of our seating. I asked if we could sit at a table with view the view instead of the middle of the restaurant. I was told that they had other reservations. During the duration of our seating absolutely none of the tables with a view filled up and they are more than enough to accommodate our party. We also had a reservation so I am not sure why the staff chose to do that, but they did. My chicken was over cooked and the rice was dry. I was very disappointed. I would not recommend.

    Food and ambiance were ok. Service not so good. They kept rushing us trying to take away our plates and food while we were still eating. Then it took 25 minutes to get check. They’ve dropped in quality.

    My husband and I went here for our anniversary and I didn't regret it. Upon entering we were greeted by the hostess who quickly had us seated. The ambiance was great (very photo-worthy), the drinks and food were amazing and not overpriced and we could actually have a conversation without having to shout! Overall it was a great experience, would definitely recommend and go again.

    Excellent & festive restaurant for my birthday dinner! Beautiful and exciting venue. Friendly and prompt service. Loved the menu options. We ordered a variety of small plates for the table and shared. We went on a Monday night, which was a bonus as it wasn’t too crowded and they were running a Happy Hour all night long. As such we ordered lots of margs and mojitos. Only CON is that the music inside is simply too loud.

    Felt like we were being rushed because I guess they need the table to accommodate other guess .. also told the server it was my friends birthday & I wanted to surprise her with cake after the dinner… guess what? Server forgot all about us & brought the bill over without acknowledging the fact that I asked for dessert. Highly doubt I would be dining there again.

    We're genuinely sorry to hear about your recent experience at Blend on the Water. It's disheartening to know that you felt rushed and that your friend's birthday request was overlooked. This isn't the level of service we aim to provide, and we apologize for the disappointment. We'd love a chance to make it right. We'd love to invite you and a friend back for a complimentary dinner. Let me know if you're interested and we'll ensure your next visit is memorable for all the right reasons!
