    We were sat late at a small table vs one for six. Kitchen was out of a lot of stuff which happens but we weren’t told that they were out of fish and chips until we had been waiting for our food for 30 minutes. The food that we did get was good. The whole experience was strange .

    Everything was just ok. We have need to Culinary Dropout many times and have had a mixed bag of experiences. This time it was below expectations unfortunately.

    Worst experience I have had in a long time. Six of us went for a holiday get together. All our meals took a really long time, ok it’s the holidays, it’s busy, but everything was cold. Two people had to wait 15 min after the first 4 of us were served. The manager was indifferent, saying it’s the holidays… The food that wasn’t cold was average at best and two main things on the menu were not available. We won’t be returning

    It was our second year back at Bar Blitzen and love all of the decorations! Our only critique is we had a reservation at 4PM and they weren’t ready to open yet.. The reservations are limited but the place is rarely full from when we’ve been there. But very festive, great drinks and great vibes! We will be back next year to get in the Christmas Spirit.

    Bar Blitzen was really fun. The energy, decor, drinks, food, and service were great and we really enjoyed ourselves. There had also been a previous mix up with our initial reservation, but their management caught it early and provided a quick resolution. The way it was handled was super professional and showed great customer service.

    Best Bar Blitzen pop-up so far. Great food and easy spirits served up in a festive holiday decor. Only 2 negatives, very little Christmas music being played, maybe 1 out of 10 songs and there rest were "club beats" which felt out of place. The second was our bartender who was slow, distracted and acted like he didn't want to be there. Didn't ruin the vibe for us be we did hear others at the bar complain about his attitude and service too.

I definitely appreciate the critiques and well make some necessary changes to the music! I apologize for the lack of enthusiasm from staff. This is definitely not the service we stive to provide! Again, we appreciate your feedback and hope to see you soon! Candice
