Excellent for large parties! Blend on the Water was able to accommodate my friend’s very large birthday brunch! We had about 23 people come in and the event coordinator, hosts, and especially our server Camila took great care of us! There are various weekend brunch/lunch pre-fix menu options for large parties and we absolutely loved our selection for brunch.

I came in for brunch and Blend on the Water is always reliable when it comes to food. My partner had the Pollo a la Plancha and I went with pork. The crispy arepas are delicious. The food was warm and cooked to perfection. On top of that, the atmosphere is calm and the restaurant is stunning. I recommend this restaurant for reliable food and atmosphere for family gatherings/date nights!
