What an absolutely lovely venue! The menu was creative, the food was delicious and well presented. The vegan pot pie was so flavorful and the espresso martinis were able to be made decaf which was an effort that was appreciated. Pumpkin creme brulee was delectable. We can’t wait to come back!

We had the lobster Papardelle and it was a tiny lobster tail on top of creamy overcooked noodles. The kung pao calamari was tasty, but greasy and a tiny portion. The short rib was strangely dry and overcooked. The bar was very pretty, the place used to be a pub I believe. The best thing was the music on Friday evening, it was not jazz but a suave latin band. The bandleader played the flute first then sang with a mellow voice. So not impressed by the food but a pretty place.

I wish I knew about this place sooner. My friends and i started off with the Kung Pao calamari and Kobe meatballs and were thoroughly impressed by both. We then both had the Braised Short Ribe which was super tasty. We came on a Friday night not knowing a Live Band would show up- it was so much fun. The speciality cocktails were so innovative and service throughout the whole night was great.

The beet salad, scallop entree, and braised short rib entree were all delicious. The waitress suggested that the polenta fries, which come with the short ribs, are often not received well - so I appreciated that she made other suggestions. Since I don't have an aversion to polenta, I stuck with the plate as noted on the menu. However, she was right - the polenta side in the scallop entree is much better. It makes me wonder if they are planning to remove the polenta fries from the menu all together; they aren't terrible, but they don't live up to the rest of the food. The bananas foster dessert is presented nicely, with the flame being added at the table. However, that dessert was the downfall of the entire meal. The bananas weren't soft enough - either because they weren't ripe or because they had been refrigerated - they needed the flame to last much longer. The rum also needed more flame - not enough alcohol burned off, yet there wasn't enough of the rum/sauce either. And the ice cream fell flat as well; it wasn't creamy, and it crumbled. The space and ambiance are lovely; it's fun to have not only instagrammable spots, but someone on staff happy to walk around with a photo light circle, and take photos with your own camera. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons. I would go back, occasionally.

Drinks and service were pretty good. The food was hit and miss. Bruschetta was great,but chicken lollipops were prety bad. Burger was average at best, pasta was nice. Vegan ice cream is not a great substitutefor a real one,while banana cream Brule was nice.

Great food, fantastic service. The vegan options are tasty (and I'm a carnivore.) We've enjoyed our 8 meals there -- I'm sure there will be plenty more.

Expensive. Beet Wellington was one beet encrusted in dough sitting in some sort of thick mushroom sauce. Goyza appetizer was very good. Decent wine pour. Screwdriver didn’t have much alcohol in it and &2 extra charge for Tito’s. Children’s BD party going on in same room as diners. So loud!!

Visited Bloom to celebrate a birthday, we were very happy with the restaurant, it's atmosphere and staff. Our food was brought out quickly, tasty and well presented. The backdrop and ambiance was 100% for sure, we were.able.to take.pictures and enjoy ourselves without issue. We were a party of 4 with a baby and we had a lovely time. We weren't too crazy about the drawers but the drinks were well made and the vegan chorizo was Absolutely delicious. We would visit again.

Dining at Bloom is an excellent culinary experience! The food is amazing; the servers are very attentive and courteous; the owner sang Happy Birthday for my friend Rafaela who was visiting from the Dominican Republic and Luisa Marisol came from Palermo. They had a great time! Thank you.

If you’re vegan, it’s definitely worth the visit. The ambience was cool and the DJ was nice, but the service was just eh. The owner came over and chatted with us about the new water filtration system which was cool, but our waitress left for the night without bringing the check or addressing the table and my husband had to ask her for ice 3x. The appetizer portion was so small but the entrees were fine and healthy. I’d go back with my vegan friends/family. My father-in-law wasn’t happy about them not giving bread for the table, but at least the water was good, even without the ice.

I celebrated my birthday here last night. It was a great place, the owners were so nice and inviting, the staff was amazing and made sure we were taken care of. I loved the decor and the DJ in the back turned the place into a mini club at the end of the night. I can’t praise this new place enough, a great addition to the area. I’ll definitely be back, highly recommend 🙂.

I think this place will be great after a few months. Right now, it is very obvious the wait staff is new and inexperienced. In addition, the food was bland. So we will wait a few months to try again in hopes it will get better in time.

My first time here and won’t be my last. The service, food, atmosphere and drinks are 10/10. You won’t be disappointed. A nice brunch, lunch or dinner date would be great to visit. I had the Hibiscus Margarita which was so good and the lobster pasta (that’s not the real name, I forgot what it’s called on the menu). The calamari was great too.
