Happily surprised by Bliss. Intimate setting. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Our server, Courage, was wonderful. She was attentive without being overbearing. Made great suggestions. Food was excellent. I had skirt steak with mashed potatoes and baby spinach. We had early reservations so it was quiet for a while but as it got later, it became crowded and noisy. It was a Saturday and to be expected. The staff should be commended for their hard work and professionalism. We did not once feel rushed and would return to Bliss.
