Had a great experience here. Food was delicious with generous portions. Our server recommended the pork chop. It was amazing. Service was great as well. BYOB, so bring your favorite beverage.

Had dinner with friends before a show. My pork chop was cooked perfectly in a sweet glaze. Great service and BYO.

Our server was excellent; she recommended the meatballs which were tasty. Our entrees were delicious as well.
Horrible. Pasta under cooked and cold .when waitress tried to take it off bill , she was told that it half was eaten and could not take it off bill but I was sharing and if they looked at the individual plates nothing was eaten. I will never return
My wife and I had a mixed experience. She ordered the crab cake appetizer - which is “market price”. Turns out it was $32. This is pricey for one crab cab. They say it's so they can offer only the freshest fresh caught seafood. My understanding crabmeat for crabcakes comes from a can using pre cooked and pasteurized crabmeat. If that's accurate, it shouldn't be “market price” since it's not freshly caught. Our two entrees were fillet mignon and the Mussels Arriabiatta. The Mussels were excellent but the fillet was overcooked and did not taste light a fillet. It was also thin and long like Sirloin cut. Either way, it was a little tough and overcooked. This is a BYOB and we still ended up paying over $100 a person. Accordingly, I cannot recommend. There are other restaurants in the area that offer a better meal for a lower price.
We love Blend on Main. It was the perfect evening. The food could not have been better. The new menu and price fixe meal selections are amazing. We will be back soon.
Unrivaled service, delicious food choices, we are blessed to have this restaurant so close to our home

Always excellent service and consistent great tasting food! Experience replicates itself each visit!
Took over 5 minutes to be serviced for opening wine that we brought. As the busser was cleaning table, dropped and split bottle of wine we we were drinking... only acknowledged sorry. Other waitress blotted carpet for split wine. No words exchanged. Then one of us had steak and requested horseradish (received after meal near ending). Mentioned to our server about the wine. No acknowledgment nor comment. So for BYOB , some type of acknowledgment should have been made for the drinks spilt dropped wine. Service was friendly but just not too par.

Such a disappointment!! Awful honestly. I was really excited to try a local steak place (I love steak) so I ordered a salad and a boneless USDA prime rib steak. My steak was BRIGHT PINK and incredibly hard to cut. It was the worst steak I’ve EVER SEEN. Not a medium rare at all. It was pink and mushy and I sent it back despite being told it was what I ordered … I eat steak ALL THE TIME and no it was not medium rare…. Then it returned a little darker but gray and still mushy/damp as if it had been boiled or something. Absolutely not grilled or even air fried. No char marks, no seasoning, just a gray mush. Not edible. It was sitting on some hot plate for God knows how long and that was apparent. No flavor even with the sauce on the side (which also somehow had no flavor??) and truly one of the saddest grayest steaks I’ve ever seen. The salad was also seriously just wet arugula in a pile with almost no toppings for like $15. Egregious honestly.
I dined with my mother who is an absolute saint and even she agreed my food was essentially inedible. She liked her salmon well enough. I was starving and left so angry. I didn’t even want to pay for my food (as a service worker myself this is something I never do EVER!!) but she insisted we just leave quietly and go to chipotle afterwards. I didn’t even want to take my leftovers home but she told me that would be rude. I disagree.
Maybe we caught this place on an off night?? Our server was a nice dude. Dessert was nice. I felt bad leaving so angry but no that food was foul. the Thursday steak special is just plain terrible. I would never return or recommend this place to anyone. Ever. And yes I’m the girl in the black sweater who just left and is eating chipotle at home now.

Best place around! Excellent service and the food is delicious - interesting but not nutty. Generous portions.
Excellent Christmas Eve dinner. 5 people, and all 5 loved each of their 3 courses. Apps: Seafood/lobster bisque, crab and artichoke gratin dip, fig and burratta. Mains: scallops, filet mignon, HUGE double bone in pork chop. Dessert: snicker doodle creme brulee, chocolate peppermint tort, cheesecake. All excellent! Service was good, not great but probably due to the timing of the 4/6/8pm seatings (staff was more interested in clearing our dishes {that we were pretty obviously still eating} than they were filling our empty water glasses). Again, probably a function of the unique night/seatings. Would absolutely go again and certainly recommend.

From out of town and found this gem. Service was great and attentive. We did the 3 course with the regular and steak up-charge options. Tuna app was the highlight app., the steaks coming on a sizzling platter is nice touch. House made focaccia is great touch. BYO let us bring a special bottle without corkage fees. Highly recommended

I'm not sure if it was because it was packed with people or if the acoustics were not sound deafening, but it was loud in there. We had a table of 8 and one end couldn't hear the other end. The Christmas decorations were beautiful.
