Just had my daughters Bridal shower brunch here. What a great event! Tara and the chef were so easy to work with from customized food choices to room decor extremely accommodating! Choice of food was fantastic! The 3 entree choice that I chose were chicken waffles, salmon and Frittata. All of my guests really enjoyed all of the food. Started with Cheese plater, fruit parfait choice of entree and Beignets on the tables. The 2 servers we had were excellent! They were very attentive and handled the room amazingly. If you are ever in need of an event space I highly recommend Blend on Main!!

Christmas Eve fixed menu - everything was delicious however bread was extra?? For $99 per person? Butter was on a plate at the table and we never even touched it. Waiting for the bread that we thought would be served. Waitress was great, food choices were excellent, and wonderful ambiance.

To start off, it was restaurant week and my four friends and I were well attended by our waitress. We all ate just about every morsel of delicious food we ordered! The pear and arugula salad with walnuts was so tasty and unique. I thoroughly enjoyed the moist, grilled chicken over risotto and butternut squash! Yum! The presentation of the tuna bites was artistic! My friends left nothing behind. Those who ordered soup were very impressed! I will return one evening. The main dining area looks very special, with fireplace and tables set very elegantly with white and Chrystal! Continued success, Chef Lou! I only hear raves about your restaurant!

We had a very nice dinner at Blend last night. The Disco Fries are fantastic and big enough to share for a party of 3. We all enjoyed our entrees, Scallops, Venison Special cooked to desired rare and the Fettuccini Bolognese. We brought wine and the white was chilled promptly. Our server was friendly and efficient. Ran through the specials without noting the prices though. Only issue was the room was loud - some parties were very loud and the background music was also to loud. The good thing is that on a Saturday night the place was hopping so good for them. We passed on dessert but it was a very interesting menu - Ding Dong for Two was tempting... Starting to digest the prices now - I guess this is where we are at now for a quality dining experience - beyond burgers and pizza....

Gotta say, there aren't many restaurants down the shore that has a menu where no matter what you order will be phenomenal. In fact when we eat there I usually ask our server just bring me out whatever they decide. Seriously. We usually request Sarah the chefs daughter and she never disappoints. I ordered this bacon wrapped applewood porkchop last night and had left overs for lunch. It was just a juicy today as it was last night. Just go and you'll see for yourself.

I have been here a few times in the past and I have always enjoyed the food. During the pandemic they were one of the restaurants that sent in food to the hospital for the healthcare workers. Definitely appreciated it so I wanted to give back. My hubby and I came for lunch, and we had the choice of eating inside or outside. Considering it was 90 degrees outside we choose to eat inside. I ordered the chicken sandwich which had a nice touch with the grapes. My hubby had the Southwest salad which he also enjoyed! Finished with a cappuccino which was a nice 8 oz glass. Only have been here for lunch, I need to come back to try the dinner menu!
