Our waitress was amazing and the food was prepared perfectly. Even though it was a very busy night (Valentine's Day), we never felt rushed and we were able to enjoy a nice, romantic evening. Considering the excellent service and the quality of the food, the price was more than reasonable. Definitely recommend Blend.
Blend on MainResponded 1 day ago
Now that is what we love to hear! ❤️ Valentine's Day is always a big night, and we work hard to make sure it’s special for everyone—so knowing you had a romantic, unrushed evening with perfectly prepared food and Sara’s top-notch service? That’s the dream right there! I’ll be sure to pass along the kudos to Sara—she’ll love hearing it. And we truly appreciate the recommendation! Quality food, great service, and making sure our guests feel at home—that’s what Blend is all about. Hope to see you again soon, whether it’s for another date night, a casual bite, or just to say hello! 🍽️✨ Cheers!

Brussel sprout , tuna bite and calamari appetizers were all excellent. Pork chop always good choice, don’t remember ever having a bad meal here
Blend on MainResponded 1 day ago
Now that’s what I love to hear! 🎉 The Brussels sprouts, tuna bites, and calamari—solid appetizer choices. Each one’s got its own thing going on, but together? That’s a winning lineup. And the pork chop—oh yeah, that’s a classic for a reason. Always cooked to perfection, always packed with flavor. Hearing that you’ve never had a bad meal at Blend? That means the world to us. We put our hearts (and a little chef magic) into every dish, so knowing it hits the mark for you makes it all worth it. Looking forward to having you back soon—maybe we’ll surprise you with another new favorite! 🍷🔥

Blend on MainResponded 1 day ago
Now that is a Valentine’s Day done right! ❤️🔥 Korean Calamari, NY Strip Steak Frites, and that Crunchy Waffle dessert? That’s a knockout lineup. You hit all the right notes—savory, crispy, juicy, and sweet! And big shoutout to Tom—he’s a rockstar, and I’ll make sure he knows he made your night even better. So glad you had an amazing evening! Thanks for the love and for always trusting us to bring the flavor. Can’t wait to have you back for another unforgettable meal! 🍽️🥂

We love that the menu changes periodically and so glad the brought back the bread but miss the pretzels. Had the Classic Old Fashioned Sunday but disappointed in such a smaller version. Overall appetizers and Valentines dinner was great. Unique Lobster over Veal dish was amazing.
Blend on MainResponded 1 day ago
First off—thank you for coming in and for sharing your thoughts! We love keeping the menu fresh and seasonal, and I hear you on the pretzels. I’ll make sure the team knows they’re missed! Glad you got to enjoy the Classic Old Fashioned Ice Cream, but I totally understand if it felt a bit smaller than expected. Always appreciate the honest feedback—it helps us fine-tune everything. And that Lobster over Veal dish? That’s one of those indulgent, “only at Blend” creations—so happy you loved it! We put a lot of thought into that Valentine's menu, so it’s great to hear you had a fantastic experience overall.

Disappointing that we were not given the prices of specials
Blend on MainResponded 1 day ago
I hear you on that, and I truly appreciate the feedback! Guests should always have all the details—especially when it comes to specials. I’ll make sure to pass this along to the team so we can improve that communication. That said, I really hope the food and experience still made for a fantastic night! If you ever have any questions about pricing in the future, don’t hesitate to ask your server—they’re always happy to help. Hope to see you again soon, and we’ll make sure everything’s even better next time! 🍽️😊

We had a 7:00pm reservation at Blend last night… waited a few minutes to be seated. From the moment we sat down we were extremely pleased with a beautiful table by the fireplace, and was greeted by our friendly server Elle. The good and service was top notch down to the mini hot jelly donuts that blew us away!! We will definitely be back … thank you for a memorable experience!
Blend on MainResponded 1 day ago
Now that sounds like the perfect night! 🔥✨ A cozy table by the fireplace, top-notch service from Elle, and those mini hot jelly donuts—oh yeah, that’s a winning combo right there! So glad you had a memorable experience—that’s exactly what we hope for every guest. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Elle and the team. Can’t wait to have you back for another amazing meal (and maybe another round of those donuts 😉)! Thanks for the love, and see you soon! 🍽️🎉
