I booked a reservation for my daughter's 17th birthday dinner for five of us. We arrived on time the atmosphere and decor was modern and inviting. I'm assuming maybe because it was a Thursday night the restaurant was practically empty. There were maybe two other tables dining, but that was fine. We were seated at a corner round table directly in the path to the bathroom with a large table of like nine people behind us, which was quite unpractical and uncomfortable, considering the entire restaurant was basically empty. This was a first time for all five of us being here at first glance the menu did not have a large selection of food at least not what we were expecting. The appetizers that did arrive were more like finger foods. The tuna spicy tacos came three on a plate and literally fit in between my thumb & index finger they were legitimately the size of a lemon wedge,. Prior to ordering the waitress assured us that the appetizers were all shareable, which was not the case. The portions were three pieces per plate and there were five of us so obviously we wound up having to order two of each appetizer. We also ordered the sliders which were tiny as well not very flavorful. The meat inside was pretty dry. The steak and potato flautas also came on a tiny plate and were about the size of your index finger and this time I believe there were four on the plate, same goes for the steak skewers they were absolutely tiny about middle finger length on an average hands and there were three on a plate, the ceviche mixto was absolutely disgusting, i've never seen tilapia served in a ceviche or sushi like dish. It was so extremely fishy and disgusting that it overpowered the flavor of any other fish on the plate.....They also serve it with pieces of sweet potato that are practically raw ... as for our entrées, I had the 10oz churasco ( skirt steak) which I ordered, medium rare of course it came to the table completely well done and dry so that had to be sent back so unfortunately by the time my food came, everyone was already finished with their entrées. My best friend ordered the chicken dish with the cream sauce the chicken was extremely dry as well that had to be sent back and she exchanged that for the fettuccine Alfredo which also was an extremely small portion almost like a child's portion my 19 year-old son ordered the pasta as well and he had to order two bowls, my daughter, the birthday girl order the filet mignon, which she seemed to be pretty happy with and her friends ordered the same. They both said it was pretty good. for drinks we just had flavored lemonade and waters while I was in the bathroom at one point apparently a photographer came over to the table and took a bunch of photos then later came over trying to sell five different photos to us at $25 apiece What was really nice was they brought out a birthday sign that I had pre-ordered on this light up board which had my daughter's name.Overall the food was extremely underwhelming definitely would not recommend this place to anyone but what made the experience absolutely horrific was that when it was time to pay, I scan my phone to use Apple Pay and they wound up charging my card four times in the amount of $562 It was to the point that I had to contact the bank and pull up my banking app to show them on my phone that they have processed my payment 4 individual times because they kept assuring me that the payment didn't go through... in order to leave the restaurant I had to actually Zelle my payment to the owners phone. Even though I will eventually get my money back from the bank having my card charged 4 times causing the funds to be withdrawn and preventing us from being able to utilize the card for the rest of the evening because the card wound up being blocked due to their faulty payment system. It is two days later and only one of my payments has been reversed and to add insult to injury. They had the audacity to still charge me the $10 for the valet payment after this nightmare of a headache.

Great place for dinner. There is a small party room for an intimate dinner gathering.
Vegetarian options: You may have to ask for vegetarian options.
Dietary restrictions: You have to ask.
Parking: You have to pay for valet parking.
Kid-friendliness: They have a children's menu
Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't see one, but you will have to call.
I normally don't leave reviews however I think the manager at Blend Williamsburg is deserving of one. I came out with the wifey for the very first time and had a less than favorable experience. I believe the restaurant was severely understaffed that evening and things were very disorganized. We expressed our sentiments to the manager Brian and he listened to our complaints with compassion and offered to make things right by inviting us back at a later date. We agreed and returned for dinner a second time. It was a pleasurable experience. Everything was spot on. Dinner was cooked to perfection and the drinks were great! The staff was super attentive and Brian was also great. Let's just say I'll be returning soon. Thank you Brian and the entire staff at Blend Williamsburg.

Where do I even begin. I’ve been fan of blend since its first opening in LIC. So when I found out there was a Williamsburg location opening I was thrilled because it was blocks away from home. My first initial time going, I went with my boyfriend and my son and it was by far the worse experience I’ve ever had in any blend. I couldn’t believe it. We waited over an hour to be served and our food was cold when it arrived. We could tell it was understaffed however none of upper management were helping their one server. We walked out got the manager and explained our frustrations and left the poor server $100 because we felt bad she really didn’t have any help. I didn’t go back until months later when my sister said to give it another shot.
I’m so glad I did because let me tell you Jasmine has changed that place for the complete better. She’s the reason I keep coming back and having all of my events there. I’m a General Manager and the level of detail that goes into everything she does is simply unmatched. She goes above and beyond to meet your every need to ensure your event goes without a hitch. She puts her whole team of aces in their places to ensure a seamless event and makes sure your experience is unforgettable. The way she’s changed this place deserves all the recognition. You’re really lucky to have her as I would take her as my event manager in a heart beat if she’d let me.
She was able to accommodate a last minute request for my best friends engagement party, my birthday party, and my mother’s 60th birthday. To have this all be last minute you would’ve thought we were planning for months. She delivered more than I could have ever asked for. She thought of every single detail. The team she put together to help us went above and beyond every-time. All of the servers who attended to us really gave it their all to make us feel like we were VIP. Geraldine really went above and beyond for my family and I for my mother’s 60th birthday. There were over 40 of us and she handled us with such care. The customer service from the whole team and the attention to detail really blew it out of the water for me. And the food?!!! The steak is to die for. The shrimp, French toast, the chicken, ceviche, the arepitas. Everything was mouth watering everyone raved about the food and drinks.
Thank you BLEND Williamsburg you have a customer for life.
Thank you for the great food and great environment this place is very nice and service was fantastic I will def. Recommend also big thank Dear Salma Berman she’s is very polite and welcome with a great energy ! Cheers Blend ?❤️???️
