   Blend is definitely the place to go, it’s beautiful, the music is exciting, the food is amazing, and the drinks get you there quickly. This was not my first time here and I love returning to this restaurant every time, always hits the spot.

   My partner and I had dinner at Blend last night, and our experience was disappointing, outright racist. We were seated in a private section with two other couples, positioned in the middle. We were the only couple given a single laminated menu, while the other two couples received illuminated menus. After the waiter returned twice within 10 minutes to ask if we were ready to order, I had to request a second menu. As the evening progressed, the manager greeted both couples on either side of us but completely skipped over us, never even acknowledging our presence. Later, another Black couple was seated in the same dimly lit section and also received laminated menus, forcing them to use their phone lights to read them. It was clear that neither of the Black couples, including us, received the same level of service or basic hospitality as the other guests. Throughout our meal, the waiter barely checked on us but was quick to clear our table, making it obvious we were being rushed out. The service was filled with microaggressions, making the entire experience awkward and humiliating. The blatant disparity in how we were treated compared to the other guests was racist and unacceptable. The couple next to us even acknowledged what was happening, wishing us a better night, which only confirmed how unfairly we were treated.

   Thanks for your feedback. On a busy Valentine’s Day, we unfortunately faced challenges due to the high volume. We take full responsibility for any service lapses, but we must clarify that your accusations are simply not accurate. Our restaurant is minority-owned, and we strive to create opportunities in our community. To accuse us of racism over service delays is unfair and untrue. Comparing your experience to a full restaurant and labeling us as racist is an accusation we take seriously but find completely unfounded. As for the menus, we have 30 illuminated ones and 100 laminated, and we gave you what was available at the time. We’re sorry for the shortcomings, and if you'd like to discuss further, feel free to reach out.

   Excellent view and location. Beautiful restaurant. Very fine food. Attentive service. Inappropriate, that our server asked for a second tip after we already paid a gratuity.

   We had a reservation on 2/12/24. We walked in, the hostess was very kind. We got seated and noticed how beautiful the place was and how amazing the view was. As we’re sitting and enjoying our time, the photographer spent a few minutes taking pictures of us. Our waitress was so sweet and friendly. We got our appetizers and food, and drinks and it was okay, definitely not worth the price though. After we finished our food, the photographer asked us to pay for the pictures but we had no idea it had a price! We kindly declined maybe 10 times until we ended up just getting one. It took a while to get the check but we understand how being a waitress can be so it was no worries. When we walked out, the hostess didn’t seem so sweet but the owner (maybe the owner) was a very nice man!
