    Amazing food, amazing drinks and amazing service !!! We cant wait to come back and enjoy this place again

    Bloomed has really bloomed! I came here one year ago and was blown away by this plant based kitchen. I decided to give it another go, to see if I lived up to my own hype. And it definitely did. The menu has stayed pretty similar, with a lot of the same favorites returning like the oyster mushrooms! But this time I tried the gnocchi which was super flavorful and filling. But what blew my away was the salmon. It genuinely smelled and tasted just like salmon! And I loved that the dish wasn't super inventive, just some quinoa and a sauce which realu made the salmon shiny. I cannot believe it was all plant based. For dessert we had the pavlova which was light and bright! Overall, twice was just as nice! I would definitely still recommend Bloom.

    I came back to Bloom to try their brunch and it was sooo good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a reservation but it was not very crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was attentive and the food came out so fast. The two of us shared food and honestly, this was more than enough. The drink I ordered was the defying gravity. It was so good, not too sweet, and very pretty. We split the turnip causa and the cajun maitaki. The turnip causa was so interesting. I don't think I've ever had anything like it before, but I enjoyed it. The turnip was flavorful. The other dish was a spin on chicken and waffles. The mushrooms were so well done and they gave a huge portion. The outside was crispy and inside was tender and soft. The waffles were perfect and the cajun glaze was a good touch. I would definitely come back for brunch! The endive salad sounded yummy but we were too full in the end.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]An absolutely amazing plant-based restaurant with a killer happy hour, incredible vibes, delicious food that you wouldn't be able to guess is plant-based, and wonderful service to top it all off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their drinks selection is a bit limited and mainly consists of gin cocktails. Would love to see more tequila/mezcal drinks and I think they would nail it. The happy hour apps were delicious. I'd definitely come back for happy hour, and on Tuesdays they have a 2 dinners for $75 deal

    Have been wanting to try Bloom so thought Restaurant Week would be a great time. Overall, the food was pretty good. Started with the crab cake which was very yummy. The mushrooms oysters was a favorite dish for the table - crunchy, spicy and delicious. I had the lasagna which I loved. My husband had the gnocchi which we didn't love - the sweet potato made it dense and the gochujang was interesting, offing a mild taste. That dish just wasn't for us. The desserts were... fine. Service was rushed and honestly not very friendly. All and all I might come back for the food, but the experience could be more welcoming.

    Grand Cheese Board**

    I came here for the Grand Cheese Board. Yes it's pricy, but I was celebrating my birthday and exploring vegan goodies in Chicago. Look at how beautiful this is: https://bit.ly/4jX8HIa I know, the portions look small. But there were so many different elements on here and it was fun tasting all the yummy things. It comes with porcini pate, seasonal fruit preserve, mixed nuts, cashew requeson with ancho chili agave, pimento goat cheese, ash truffle cheese, mustard seed spread, house pickles, papadum crackers, and sourdough bread. Get in my belly! The Jackfruit Shortrib is impressive! It is infused with smoky-sweet sauces and charred for texture. It also came with crispy garbanzo beans, arugula, and Potato Mille-Feuille. Hello fancy dish! https://bit.ly/43qyKjZ Hubby ordered the Yuca Gnocchi. Toasted yuca, celery root puree, pickled roasted red pepper, eggplant, parsley. Yummy! https://bit.ly/45iYlOc This Crab Cake is a winner! Yes to everything about this. https://bit.ly/43CRxK1 We also ordered a few cocktails. Though I can't remember the names, I remember I enjoyed them. Both in flavor and in the strength of the buzz. A+ for atmosphere, presentation, and obviously the meal. I like this place! Perfect spot for our intimate and low-key celebration :)

    This is a great spot to add to your happy hour rotation!! I came here on a Monday around 5:30pm. (Their happy hour is 5-6pm.) Their happy hour menu is small but mighty! And the perfect amount of selection and food for 2 people. For the quality of vegan food and price, this is a happy hour deal that is almost unbeatable (their sister restaurant Amaru (not vegan) tops the list for me, but this place matches the quality of food, service, and creativity!). Between my partner and I, we got 2 cocktails (Alone in Kyoto and Bloom's Garden; $8 each). My favorite was Bloom's Garden because I love a refreshing and botanical gin-based drink! The presentation was also beautiful with the flowers on top. We also got 3 food items off their happy hour menu: whipped feta, turnip causa, and crispy oysters. Each dish was packed with flavor and the perfect balance of texture variation. My favorite was the whipped feta. The "feta" is made with cashew and was so creamy! And it was served with a tomato Makhani which offered a savory pairing with the cashew feta, and was perfect with the sourdough bread. The bread was perfectly crispy, fluffy, soft, and fresh out the oven! We ended up asking for extra bread to scoop up the rest of the sauce which was $5 extra and totally worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience and service was excellent! Very clean, sleek, and a beautiful space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Attentive servers but not too much so. I will definitely be back and highly recommend!

    The happy hour is easily 5/5, one of the best happy hours in Chicago along with their sister restaurant, Amaru! There are a selection of thoughtfully crafted gin-based cocktails for $8. They look beautiful and taste delicious! I had the Alone in Kyoto which was citrusy and not too sweet. The bloom's garden really smelled like a garden and had a beautiful purple gradient. Service was really friendly and checked in frequently and refilled waters often. The food was incredible. The tuna causa was like a hand roll but with potato croquette and smoked turnip on top. I loved the creaminess and smokiness of the turnip. The crispy oysters were super good too, the sauce and crunch reminded me of orange chicken, in a good way. The whipped feta was incredible. The cashew feta and tomato makhani with the perfectly charred sourdough bread exceeded my expectations of what a bread and cheese dip could be. The spices in the tomato gave it a really deep flavor profile and their sourdough is perfectly crunchy yet soft. We had extra sauce leftover so we put in an order of extra bread to finish it up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All the plants inside and the decor give it a really calming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had good music playing at a comfortable volume where you can have a conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The water cups are my favorite with the textured walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the fancy plates they use for their dishes, it elevates the experience but the vibe is on the more casual side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restrooms were really clean too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall definitely would recommend bloom, check the hours on their website for happy hour. Currently it's 5-6pm Sun-Thurs. They also have a Tuesday dinner special, a 3-course dinner for 2 for $75! It's a total of 4 dishes and 1 dessert.

    Going vegan--especially with no fried foods--can definitely make dining out a bit tricky. Right now, I'm doing a cleanse, which limits my food options quite a bit. My sister wanted to take me out for my birthday, so we decided to try Bloom Plant Based Kitchen, located at 1559 North Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL. The interior was super cute--very earthy and green, with a calming vibe. Our waitress was wonderful, even though it was a busy day. She was friendly and tried her best to answer all our questions. That said, I would've appreciated more photos on the menu. The descriptions were fine, but for a newcomer, it was hard to know what to expect. I tried checking Yelp for photos, but unfortunately, most of the dishes that caught my eye were no longer on the menu, which was disappointing. Since I'm currently avoiding fried foods and sweets, the brunch menu had very limited options for me. (Totally a me thing--I get it.) I did want to mention that their brunch menu doesn't include dinner items, so just something to keep in mind when planning a visit. I ended up getting the vegan omelette, which was flavorful and delicious. My sister, who's also doing the cleanse, went with the double cheese vegan burger. She thought it was just okay--the patty could've used more seasoning. Overall, the experience was decent. My dietary restrictions definitely played a big role in what I could try, so I feel like I didn't get the full Bloom experience. But the staff was kind and accommodating, and I'd be open to giving it another shot post-cleanse. Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.

    Bloom has impressed me. I came here with a friend to get dinner and wow. I got the Citrus Got Real drink and it was pretty good. It tasted like a creamy lemonade. The salmon was made in house and really imitated salmon flavor and texture. The garlicky farro at the bottom was well cooked and had tons of flavor. Finally, the dessert was amazing. We ended up getting two of the same thing. For me, it was the berry preserve that sealed the deal. The texture was good and it was not too sweet. Our server was super friendly and gave great insights into what to get on the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a cute date spot for sure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Service was very slow and the time between the courses and ordering didn't make much sense. The food was small bites at entree prices. Some items were a complete miss and a few were top notch. An example is the oysters, they had potential for great flavor but they were fried very hard for no reason and wish it had more than 2 pieces of broccoli since there were no sides of broccoli available. My hubby had the carbonara with cutlet and it had a overly smoky taste. Same as our peppers we ordered. I thought the smoky flavor was from the peppers but after tasting the pasta I wondered if they went overboard with the liquid smoke. The drinks were okay but nothing notable. This was our 5th stop of the day of all vegan food and was the biggest disappointment. I was excited to surprise my husband with this dinner experience but I regretted it. It's a very hipster place and I could see the other patrons enjoying it but I assume we are not the demographic for it. It was beautiful decor and a welcoming environment.

    The food is all vegan and mostly gluten free and gourmet. They serve brunch on weekends and dinner I think everyday. Everything is creative, tasty, delicious. The service is always very friendly and welcoming. They appreciate their customers and regulars and always seem genuinely happy to see me. Rarely is there a mistake and if so they make it right promptly. They have even given me discounts and free items just to thank me. I love their specials and special events where they do a multi course meal with descriptions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is upscale but casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have plants around the room and proudly display their greenhouse of on site grown herbs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their cocktails are a work of art as well. Easily accessible from the blue line Damen stop or a pleasant walk from the Clybourn Metra station. They are sustainable and choose to maintain a small menu of seasonal items that they update and change periodically to take advantage of new ideas and sustainable ingredients. My go to for a good weekday dinner :)

    Burger

    Perfect dinner spot I'll keep in rotation. The menu is thoughtful and gourmet. A little something for everyone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere here is relaxing and easy to enjoy cocktails after dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They accommodated and created delicious mocktails as well. (Thank you Jaesen & Vicente) & your outstanding staff here!

    Are you kid friendly?

    They were really nice when we went. We took our 8 month old. They let us check in the stroller at the front and we took the seat to the table. We specified we had a baby in the reservation. I believe they had high chairs for older children.

    Is there a dress code?

    Shit, shoes, pants, and mask. Not super fancy, but not a Vienna Beef joint, either. Really nice atmosphere. If you showed up in cut-offs, I don't think they'd kick you out, but you won't look as pretty as the folks around you.

The coconut rice was had a light coconut flavor which was good bc it didnt alter the taste of the chicken. I'd skip on the salad and minced beef noodles next time. The noodles were a lil too thick n chewy for me. Salad was nothings special, just eating large chunks of cabbage. The Sparrow Mallorc was also really good and refreshing, not overly sweet. The egg tarts had a creamy delicious custard and the dough was fluffy like a croissant, not crisp like pie. I prefer crisp but would still recommend.

The potato chips the dip came with were massive, fantastic, ruffle cut slices. Dip was good, trout roe ($18) gave it that extra pop of flavor. Our favorite dish of the night was definitely the beef tongue, so tender and balanced with textures and acidity. Mains were: Pappardelle (mushroom and carrot ragu) - I liked this best out of the three pastas, pasta was very tender. Cappelletti (beef, celery root fonduta) - felt a little under al dente in the sections where it was pasta pressed against pasta. The beef filling was on the average side, a simple, braised beef. Strozzapreti (duck bolognese + parm reggiano) - pasta was cooked perfectly, but the sauce leaned salty. Our half chicken arrived once we were finishing the pastas. Juicy and tender, with the fat/skin rendered out nicely. The sauce was good, but felt the chicken itself was lacking seasoning/flavor. The remaining duck ragu came in handy for extra saltiness. Finished the meal with the terrazzo cheesecake, and gelato scoop trio (roasted vanilla, peanut butter cookie dough brownie, and frutti di bosco sorbet). Cheesecake was light and wiggly, definitely contained some gelatin and cubes of strawberry jello; not too sweet. I enjoyed the peanut butter gelato the most, was very tasty mixed with the sorbet to make a little pb and j concoction. They also gave a little slice of chocolate cake as we were there for a celebration. Overall, appetizers were a hit, with the dessert coming in second, and entrees following thereafter. Was ~$240 w the included 25% service fee between 3 people. The food feels like 3.5 stars as the food was inconsistently good across courses, but the service/ambiance pushes it to a 4. Worth a try if you can get a reservation.

    Recently this truck did an event at my work. Wasn't…read moreimpressed to say the least. It was basic breakfast sandwich Eggs Choice of meat (sausage, turkey sausage, bacon) Cheese Hashbrowns were on offer but were NOT ready with the other items and took forever to cook, so nobody got any. What I saw coming out was underdone and burnt. What was coming out was mediocre, undercooked and not worth waiting 30-40 minutes in the hot sun. The truck itself was...a mess. Old, didn't look super clean and everything seemed to be running on a single burner camper type stove. The big negative was the service. The truck was well over two hours late, wasn't ready when they arrived and over the course of an hour and a half, they must have taken 3 smoke breaks. Look, it's hot out so it's gotta be a literal oven in that little truck. But with a three person crew, maybe take breaks in stages so the line keeps moving. Food itself was nothing special. All of it was stuff from Costco (Idahoan hash browns, frozen sausage patties, liquid egg, etc.) heated up so I'm not sure what the slow in service was but I wouldn't recommend them again.

    I'm not sure what Ryan M.'s talking about because that hot chicken sandwich was AMAZING!…read more Perfect amount of spice, the bun held up, still crispy by the time I got it home ( I was late picking up). You can order on the iPads in the lobby if you want to make sure all your money is going to Chesa. She also has responsible packaging, with no styrofoam in sight! We also had the catfish sandwich which was delicious too. I can't wait to come back and try something new, if I can get away from the hot chicken! I'm so happy to have found a place with gluten free options like hot chicken and fried fish. It's been years since I've been able to order that kind of stuff.

    Hopefully they've updated their stuff since then, but weird this was in the window next to the service window.
