A nice little restaurant on a cute, summery block. The food was good to very good. However, the 20 oz ribeye was not up to par (or the price tag) and that brought down our overall rating. Everything else was very good especially the cauliflower. Also, much older vibe for early dinner (6:00 p.m.).
Dinner and service was excellent, 2 of us had and enjoyed the Prime Rib Special, i had a salad and app combination, which was perfect. Chef Lou was personable on our entry, and very considerate when decanting our very old, but excellent wine.
I made a reservation for 2 a week in advance. It was a very busy night and they sat us in the Peach Pit area which is very casual and totally different atmosphere than the dining room. We were placed at a table for 2 right in the middle and it was awkward. We were dressed up for a nice night out and felt like we were sitting in a luncheonette. Definitely not appropriate for 2 on a Saturday night. Food excellent as always but really disappointed in evening.
The food was very good. The service was horrendous. When your server has to apologize three separate times, you know there's a problem. The lack of competent service ruined an otherwise good meal. Very disappointed.
My husband I went here last night for dinner. The food was delicious and service was wonderful. The Chef even came out and introduced himself and gave us a complimentary dessert. The crack waffles were out of this world. We will definitely go back soon and highly recommend.
Great quality and diversity of food on the menu. Everything was very fresh. The wait staff was very pleasant. Nice atmosphere and interior appearance. Can be a date place or good for a group.
Very nice dinner down the shore. Unlike most places at the beach, their food was remarkable, both unique and demonstrated creativity and quite delicious. You don't leave thinking it was “just good”...I'd return for sure.
Can't say enough about our waitress she was excellent and very attentive to our needs. then come to find out, it was the chef's daughter. Highly recommended this restaurant to everyone. So, if you're in town please make a reservation you will thoroughly enjoy your experience. 
Greeting was calm, waiter was absolutely fabulous she was sweet and went over specials meals and the go too. Best tuna steak I had in a while shrimp and seafood was outstanding. Great food and the prices go with the taste so it's understanding. Very good place with older crowd. Great for couples or adult like crowd. Once again amazing food and service!
Food was good. Problem with this restaurant is that they are consistently 30 minutes late to seat you past your reservation time. Restaurant is very loud so not a great spot for an intimate dinner.

Live local and have just not made it here. To be honest the replies on past reviews by the restaurant were condescending which made me pass it up. They had reservations open on a busy weekend and that was the deciding factor... and so... Greeter was friendly, got our table on time for our reservation. Tyler our server was friendly. Low seats and big table, comfortable even though I am tall. Angry octopus spicy and very good. Chicken dish was spatchcocked and deboned, with a jus type sauce. Winner! The chicken parm was well prepared, it's a thick tender cut with ricotta. If you like your chicken parm thin and crispy skip it. Lots of people not happy they sell bread for 8 bucks, I am not one of them. It was big, hot, and the olive oil spice mixture was made with a high quality oil. Probably cost me 6 bucks to buy it in a supermarket so 8 for this superior loaf did not seem unreasonable. Dessert Sundae finished it off. Well trained staff, busy, and a great place to add to the rotation. Total for bread, app, two dinners, and one desert was a reasonable 117 plus 25 tip. I look forward to heading back and trying some of the other dishes as quality ingredients cooked well is certainly what they provide.
Blend on main was absolutely amazing on every level. Our server Jean was the kindest most helpful server we've had in awhile, the food was outstanding, and the restaurant as a whole made our experience memorable! 5 out of 5?
Food and service were excellent! We shared a salad, the baguette and then enjoyed the crab cake dinner and the scallop dinner. Both were quite good! Our waitress was also very attentive and knowledgeable!
We don't go to Blend enough! It's always sooo good. Tonight was no exception. The baguette was perfect and the swordfish special was amazing. Special nod to Heather for the exceptional service.
The wait staff was very attentive and answered any of our questions.My husband had the prime rib, which was out of this world and I had the chicken parm, which was phenomenal.  It doesn't matter the season, the food is always amazing and the ambience is beautiful!
