    Always a memorable night at Bliss. Was greeted by Ron the owner, who is just a charming, outgoing host. Sat my 92 y/o dad as he made his way in his walker to our table. Great apps including bacon wrapped dates, Ceasar salad, chicken pot pie and more. Followed by entrees of their outstanding burger, salmon and chilean sea bass all cooked perfectly. Dominic our waiter was fantastic. You can’t go wrong coming home to Bliss, an excellent choice for dinner.

    The food and service were outstanding! You can get lost in all of the wonderful offerings in their store. Such a great idea to eat in such a lovely ambiance. Our food was beautifully plated and delicious. We opted to eat half our servings in order to try some of their desserts! We were not disappointed! And we got our leftovers packed away to eat later. This was a beautiful experience from start to finish... We will be back soon!

    Went for the prix fixe menu for our Valentine’s dinner. It was on the pricier side ($200+ pp including alc), but every aspect of the dinner was spectacular. Unexpectedly met with rose pedals on the table and a (optional) raspberry cocktail. All of their cocktails looked incredible on other tables, but we split a very nice Cab. All the courses were amazing, moderate amounts, but after four courses we were filled up. Wagyu tenderloin and carrot cake were 12/10. Will definitely be going back for a dinner with the regular menu in the near future. If you don’t mind the cost, then the Valentine’s dinner is a special date night experience.

    Unfortunately, for Valentines Day, it wasn’t the quiet romantic atmosphere we had hoped for. There was a very loud group with a baby and small child at a corner table in our room of otherwise couples.

    Overall a wonderful experience from the minute we arrived until we left. We were initially ushered to a table for 2 and my husband asked if we could have a 4-top. Within a minute we moved to a spacious table. Immediate exceptional customer service! From then it only got better. Jason, our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly without being intrusive. Each course was delicious and this was a first: no leftovers. We literally cleaned our plates. Can’t wait to return.
