This place absolutely nails the atmosphere. The space is elegant, polished, and has the kind of…read moreambiance that makes you excited to settle in for a long night out. The drinks were well made, the oysters were fresh and enjoyable, and overall the venue itself makes a strong first impression. Unfortunately, the service completely undermined the experience. Our server, Emma, came across as dismissive and visibly uninterested in serving our table from the start. There were long stretches where we couldn't get attention for additional drinks, to the point that we eventually walked up to the bar ourselves just to ask if we could order. Instead of helping, we were met with attitude and told she would "get to us." What made the experience especially frustrating was the contrast in urgency later in the night. When my girlfriend's card was temporarily declined because her bank flagged the location -- something resolved immediately with a quick text confirmation from the bank -- Emma appeared at the table almost instantly, with a tone that felt unnecessarily accusatory and embarrassing, as though we were unable to pay the bill. It was hard not to notice how quickly attention arrived for that situation compared to how difficult it had been to receive basic service throughout the evening. To make matters worse, after we got home, my girlfriend discovered her card had been charged twice for the same bill. It's disappointing because the restaurant itself has so much potential. Beautiful setting, quality drinks, and good seafood should make for an easy recommendation. Instead, the service experience -- combined with the double charge -- left all of us agreeing that this would be our last visit.

The steak was tender and I devoured it right up. I also enjoyed the green sauce that they put on top of fries. Their happy hour menu is top tier. I love every single one of their frozen drinks. The service is a hit or miss. The busser was so quick to take away our dishes even when we were still working on it. He even took my godsister's margarita without her noticing, even though there was some left. I'd understand if they needed the table back and wanted us to wrap up but the dining room was pretty empty. Cleaning up aggressively while we're clearly still eating just makes an unpleasant experience.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!…read more First off a special shoutout goes out to their event manager Savannah. She was the absolute best with everything; coordinating my event, texting, emails, calls and meetings to go over the menu and all the details, and demonstrating the space/rooms we rented. This WHOLE experience was top notch! I held my daughter's first birthday/baptism dinner here last month with about 30 of closest friends and family. It couldn't have been more perfect. First off, my event was from 4-7PM but thankfully they allowed the decorators to come way before hand to setup, I was also able to stop by the morning of to check on everything. They had custom menus on all the tables. Everything came out exactly how I had envisioned it! The food was amazing ... as always; I have been coming here for yearsssss. And the service was great. They were super attentive and always available when I needed them. I could not have asked for a better place to have such a milestone event for us. Again thank you Savannah and to the whole team at Blend for making this day unforgettable!

Our group came here to celebrate a happy occasion with such good vibes, so the vibes were definitely off the charts. The little "dance floor" they carved out in the middle barely suffices as one, but I guess they really made do with what they had. They definitely try to overpack this place to the max. Food was amazing, though. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share, like the yuca corquettes (probably my favorite), coconut shrimp, shrimp ceviche, guac, and the tostones rellones. They were all so, so good and not overly expensive, that we made another order of everything. My drink (Mori Sanado) was very good and came with a cute fish-shaped glass. It's an overstimulating place, to say the least, so I'd mentally prepare for that alone. Since we came on a Saturday night, it was expected that it was a party vibe but I expect it's the same during brunch. You really do have to come with good company to be able to slightly enjoy this place. I wouldn't come here with people that I expect to have a conversation with, because you really can't hear anything.
