Always a great meal with fantastic service at this and all the Cecconi's locations that I have frequented worldwide. We were happy to get a table with a view and try some creative cuisine. The whipped ricotta with truffle was superb. I feel like a lot of restaurants have the same menus these days and the chef really puts his own spin on some basic items and really makes them mouth watering. Quite the enjoyable experience!

OverallI had a good experience at Blend. They are very organize and the staff is attentive. They do emphasize the 90min seating rule since that was one of the first things our waitress told us when we ordered our food. The food itself was ok. Didn't appreciate the small portions though, the taste was good ..Not great. At least the plater I had which was the crispy chicken with avocado salad. My husband had the pernil which tasted soo good! And For starters , The PIONONOS is a must!!
