    Strawberry Gossip and Rice Lager, husband said he would order again
    Renee L.

    Came here on a Monday night just after opening so we got right in. Normal to wait 45-1 1/2 hr. Very nice ambiance and very friendly staff. Our server Serene made the perfect recommendations! Will request her when we return to try different options. The menu has something for every pallet.

    Will miss the old Outback but this is a great addition to south San Jose! Def a place to go to for celebrations or a nice dinner. They have indoor and outdoor seating but I prefer indoor because the vibes are really nice and calm inside with the decor and open bar design. We ordered a TON of food and not one thing was bad. I especially loved the mushroom truffle pizza, chimichurri and ribeye steak. Sides were excellent too from the creamed spinach to the brussel sprouts. And you'd be surprised how many places can mess up French fries but B&B dis it perfectly. It was nice crispy and not too salty. And even if you're full to the max, get the chocolate chip cookies!!! They bake them fresh daily and you won't regret. Service was very attentive and informative. Only thing that threw us off was that for some reason all our food came out all at once, and we ordered a gooood amount. We barely had space to fit it on the table. Would have preferred appetizers then the entrees. Plenty of parking since it's located in a large plaza.

    Tuesday night we decided to try Blossom and Bourbon for dinner for the first time. Overall, it was a really good experience. The customer service was great and the atmosphere was nice too, especially the outdoor lounge. I ordered the fish with a wedge salad, and my husband ordered the steak with french fries. The food was flavorful and everything tasted really good. The only downside was that by the time we got home, our stomachs weren't feeling great. Since it was the only thing my husband and I both ate, I'm guessing it may have been something there, but I can't say for sure. Still, the food itself was good, and it definitely wasn't enough to keep me from giving them another try.

    It was a special occasion so I went to Blossom and Bourbon. I am leery of higher end restaurants, but B&B delivered in taste and portion size. You truly get your money's worth at this restaurant. I started with the chicken lollipops and those were excellent. Mac and Cheese was one of the best I have ever had. I would come back in just for that. The barbecue beef ribs came with THREE big ribs and the meat just fell off the bone. The service was great and the restaurant is beautiful. This spot is perfect for a date night.

    Fired Cauliflower spicy bbq wings? I forgot what this dish was called haha

    I swear I heard he did a review for this place but maybe I forgot to. Lol this was our first time going to this restaurant in San Jose and I was rather surprised- there are too many fancy or sitdown restaurants that I've seen as of late - so this was a breath of fresh air! As we were seated, we were asked by one gentleman if we wanted flat or bubble water. My boyfriend asked if they had any bottled water and the server said "no." We got some bubbled water and then ordered two cocktails. Our server was a friendly person with some interesting tattoos. They had tats on their forearms and neck. I thought it was very modern that a restaurant allowed tattoos to be viable. I like it! After we got our drinks we noticed the table next to us had bottled water. Lol perhaps the gentleman didn't know they had bottled water?! We were starving so per usual, we ordered four different dishes and split everything! The Caesar salad and bisque soup were made perfectly! There was enough dressing on all of the Caesar salad and ample mountains of cheese! I truly love the jalapeño cornbread croutons as well what a great personal touch!! The lobster bisque soup was perfectly flavored and seasoned. It tasted as if it had been made overnight so all the flavors were really full embodied. I was also happy to find out there was no monosodium glutamate/MSG in the soup. Sometimes restaurants cut corners and add the MSG so they don't have to make the broth as fast. Lol so frustrating since I'm allergic! There were also huge chunks of lobster within the soup itself! My boyfriend has an obsession with deep-fried cauliflower wings. I forget what these ones were called, but they had a good Asian spiced barbecue flavor to them!! We both really like them!! And we took half of them to go so we could finish the rest of our salad. Lol. My scallops with the lemon orzo was so perfect. I'm never going to one or so any other way again!! I literally had to finish the whole dish because I know scallops will never taste the same the next day!! But the twist with the lemon orzo was simply amazing!! I love the plate of citrus, bring out the freshness of the scallops!! My boyfriend Marina pasta I forgot what the dish was called with the sauce had a lot of flavor! I wanna say it was a vodka marinara sauce and with fresh Parmesan cheese that was made out then so it had really good flavor to the pasta and since he had to help me finish the scallops, we took half of that home, and it tasted amazing in the air fryer the next day! Had the perfect crispiness to the edges with the cheese!! We also got two cocktails! The Cats Meow and Let Love Blossom. Our server said The Cat's Meow was sweet, so I was hesitant in ordering it since I don't want or like sweet drinks, more like well balanced. When the drink came and actually tasted perfectly balanced with the amount of lavender and citrus from the grapefruit and lemon. My boyfriend says the same thing since he doesn't like sweet tasting drinks either we are more include sour drinks or balanced one. This one didn't have a sour taste, but it did have a subtle zing aftertaste just refreshing. He ordered, let love blossom, and that had a really good flavor as well, but he liked the citrus after taste of mine so he ordered one of my drinks as well, the cats meow with our favorite overall! We realized afterwards we probably should've had ordered something heavier like a red sauce and not scallops so we could have a bourbon cocktail, but we'll have to come back and do that again next time! Lol

    French Dip
    Christie B.

    This has been on my list to try for awhile so I brought my daughter and brother with me for dinner this week. Super cute place that gives "Los Altos B&G" vibes. Large patios with great lounge furniture and a huge fireplace. We sat there and enjoyed cocktails while waiting for our table to be ready. Once ready, the hostess showed us to our booth which was comfy and I had a view of the open kitchen. Our server was great! And the ambiance was dark and moody and super comfortable. Definitely a special occasion destination. Here's what we had: Lobster Rolls w/lobster bisque - this was a total hit for us. Three mini brioche buns stuffed with tender juicy lobster. Very good. The lobster bisque was also very tasty. Both my daughter and brother really liked it. 2 French Dip Sandwiches - these come with fries but I substituted mine for the Brussels. Sandwiches were good. Bread was soft and the meat was tender but not a ton of flavor. The horseradish sauce that came with it was good but pretty mild for my pallet. Au jus was light and delicate. Tasted more like a broth than a true au jus. Fries - thin and addicting. Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Brussels - really good. Cooked well just needed a squeeze of lemon. Skirt Steak - medium rare and seasoned perfectly. Definitely a favorite out of what we ordered. The chimichurri sauce was delicious. My daughter loved it. Mac-n-cheese - this was good but not outstanding. Very creamy and the noodles were cooked perfectly but the sauce wasn't anything special. Creamed Spinach - we got this because the reviews recommended it. Again, nothing wrong with it just wasn't very different than I've had before. Over all - good place to celebrate a special occasion as it's pretty pricy. Service and ambience are really great. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu and enjoy the outdoor patio.

    Appetizer- Lobster Roll 100/10
    Dominique M.

    The aesthetic is beautiful, and the food was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect spot for a date night! The service was quick, attentive, and friendly. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it.

    Diavola pasta
    Daisy S.

    Such a cute, high-end spot for the area, we really needed this! The wait was about an hour on a Friday (no reservations), but grabbing drinks and apps on the patio with fire pits made it super enjoyable. The truffle Parmesan fries were AMAZING, so good I forgot to take a picture! They were crispy with a strong truffle flavor. We shared the spicy honey pizza and Diavola pasta (seems like the popular picks). The pasta was delicious and perfectly al dente. The pizza had a fluffy, wood-fired crust, but a bit too much honey for me, it was pretty drenched. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding and cookies & milk. The bread pudding was slightly overcooked but still flavorful. The standout was definitely the cookies & milk, chewy cookies with a yummy milkshake. Such a fun concept! Great prices, good portions, and perfect for a date night. Would definitely return.

    Passion project, blossom and blood
    Alexis E.

    Wait time was 40 minutes for a table but luckily we were able to take spots at the bar immediately and it was perfect! We had a couple of bartenders/servers and the were very attentive. Food and drinks were overall spectacular! Chicken Lollipops 5/5: very big portion, sweet marinade and the orange cream sauce was the perfect addition! Steak Tacos 4/5: juicy and refreshing taste - only note was that we would've liked guacamole on it but since we had the trio dip we just added it ourselves. Trio chip dip 3.5/5: guac was really good and loved the corn dip as well. The cheese one was also good and cold, felt like a side salad. Great as a starter for a big group. Maine Lobster Rolls 3/5: Lobster roll was good but was missing a wow factor. The bread was soft and crispy in outside but I wish the bread was more warm and lemon was provided. The bisque shots were a great addition since I was also eyeing it on the menu. Unfortunately, the soup temperature was lukewarm. Drinks Blossom and Blood 4/5: Solid drink, good flavor and refreshing. Not super strong though. Comes in tall glass. The Passion Project 5/5: Great fruity flavor and strong but still tasty! Come in martini glass. We good happily come again to try more times on the menu, especially the desert menu!

    Lamb Chops w/ Cucumber, Garlic Yogurt Sauce
    Lynn H.

    First, the food. Burrata and white chocolate bread pudding is on my always must-order whenever I'm here. Lamb Chops are close second delicious choice. The pan-seared scallops paired amazing with the lemon orzo (similar to risotto). Looking for a sweet drink, blossom & blood is a tasty option. Looking for something stronger, their version of old fashioned was delectable. Service was amazing. We were not pressured or rushed despite it being close to closing time , and the server was always friendly and kind from start to finish and went above and beyond. Thank you to him for that. Only deducted the star because the food taste did vary a bit during my various times eating here. Wasn't bad. Just a bit different.

    Miranda L.

    This place was such an enjoyable dining experience, I loved everything about the atmosphere and the food. I liked how the lighting was dimmer and warm-toned. I felt like the place was busy the night that I went but it was still easy to have a conversation and clearly hear the person next to me. Definitely a great restaurant to have a date at! For the food, I liked how every dish was plated so elegantly on top of being delicious, the details were immaculate. Everything was super flavorful and yummy, 10/10 would recommend!

    Restaurant seating interior
    Brad C.

    Went to Blossom & bourbon for the first time last night and usually you cannot get reservations. But since we had more than six in the party we were able to. We were seated outside however and our table had water dripping from the awning that covered the patio which meant we had to leave a seat open in the middle of our seating which separated the table. No concessions or apologies from management which I thought was a little unprofessional given the caliber of the restaurant. We didn't let it ruin our meal. We ordered a few appetizers, which were very good including the chicken lollipops and the cauliflower which reminded me of Panda Express' orange chicken but with cauliflower. We also had the burrata, which was served in a very unique way; almost a Gazpacho, a cold, fresh marinara sauce around the burrata cheese with toasted bread on the side. All of it was very good. highly recommend those apps. As far our main courses, three of us ordered the barbecued ribs which came with three ribs, a cube of cornbread, and some slaw. The meat was very tender. The barbecue sauce was tangy and tasty. A little over sauced for my liking, but overall very good. We also ordered the truffle fries, which were good, especially if you like it on the crispy side, they are shoestring style. Others ordered the branzino fish which was served whole and a good generous portion and very moist, pan fried with a batter like crust. Chicken enchiladas were also ordered and those were also good and well portioned. Not too creamy and with very tender meat. Lastly, someone ordered the filet and it was prepared perfectly and tender with a nice smokiness on the outside. We also ordered dessert. We recommend the gelato and the cookies surprisingly. The cookies came with a mug full of some sort of white concoction that reminded me of whipped cream crossed with milk and heavy cream topped with shaved chocolate and dipping your cookies in that is delectable. If you order both desserts, dip your cookies into the chocolate gelato or the vanilla gelato and it tastes just as yummy as one would expect! Overall, barring the drippy wet seating location, blossom & bourbon delivered on the food and service. Would gladly come again,hopefully with a table that doesn't have a wet seat.

    This is my 2 time writing a review. I arrived a little before 6 and was seated right away no waiting at all. The interior felt pretty much the same as my last visit: still cozy and warm. I noticed there were plenty of staff, including someone in what looked like a white chef's jacket I'm assuming he was the head chef overseeing everything. The team was well organized and very friendly. I ordered the spaghetti, chicken lollipop, and salmon. The salmon, was absolutely delicious. I haven't had salmon that good in a long time. The mashed potatoes and broccoli paired perfectly with it. The spaghetti was good, though a bit salty for my taste (but I generally prefer less salt). The chicken lollipop was just okay. Overall, it was another great experience for me. Well done, Blossom & Bourbon!

The gnocchi is honestly one of the best I've had across the Bay Area - perfectly cooked, rich, and super satisfying.

The staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. I once called in because I was running late for my reservation, and they happily adjusted it by 15 minutes without any hassle. They're always courteous and go out of their way to make your experience great, including accommodating small customizations to suit your preferences. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a place you'll want to come back to again and again. On top of that, the pricing feels very reasonable for the quality of food and service you get.

(added Sausge) and for dessert we both ordered the chocolate mousse. The Pie crust was very soft, not crispy but that does not mean bad, just different. unfortunately the dough was a little chewy (maybe a little high in gluten?) and the pizza tasted like a Totinon's frozen sausage pizza, again...not necessarily bad but I expected a lot more (I did pick up on the flavor of Oregano) but still I felt it was lacking. The Gnocchi were soft and creamy and the sauce was spot on, (this is a very good dish) The chocolate Mousse is the bomb! they use a lot of semi sweet chocolate with whipped cream? and almonds on top. This is a must to satisfy any sweet tooth.
