    Amazing service, meal and atmosphere! Bliss staff went out of their way to meet the needs of our large group and every single person we encountered was friendly, professional and accommodating! Good was delicious, evening was divine by the fire and under the heat lamps and blankets. Perfect night and dining experience!

    Been waiting to try Bliss and it exceeded expectations. As others have said, the setting is lovely, service is polished, and food sublime. As the server offered variations on the menu, I had foie gras as an app before the red snapper. My friend had the mushroom app, which was superb. If I lived here, this would be my go-to fine dining spot.

    We had an absolutely perfect date night. The patio area was adorable with cute lighting, nice and quiet to have good conversation, and heaters available to keep the temperature comfortable. We had the tuna tartar to start, with short ribs and scallops for our entrees. Everything was impeccable. I will say for those with a bigger appetite, the scallops may not be enough on their own. With the complimentary bread and our appetizer it was the perfect size for me!

Here's to many more memorable meals in the future here. This is true bliss at Bliss!
