Everything was up to part except the drinks. Every time I’ve ordered at this establishment the drinks are more like I’m drinking juice. $13 worth of juice. It’s very annoying to have to send back your drink because the alcohol is none existing. Other than that I’m happy with the place

The whole experience was really good. The food was fantastic, our waitress Andrea made us feel comfortable and attended us well. Really appreciate how Blend treated my girlfriend on her birthday. Only thing just didn’t like was the group that was behind us, act very immature and we just wish we could have sat next to each other not in front of one another.
