“Went for my birthday on a Tuesday night. Surprisingly packed for a weekday but I did make a reservation.The enclosed patio is the best. Great place for pictures since there’s lots of lights and greenery. The ambiance was nice and the food was amazing. The cocktails from my knowledge were also a hit- mango mojito was our favorite. The blood moon cocktail was alright. Our server was very friendly and checked on us often. Even brought out a complimentary macaroon for my birthday. A lovely restaurant! Will definitely be returning.“

“This is a wonderful French bakery with truly authentic French breads and pastries. I got a couple of loaves of fig and walnut bread that were discounted, and almond croissant that another customer convinced me to get, a turkey Brie and apple sandwich and I had actually ordered two croissants but for some reason they didn’t make it in my bag. I think there was a misunderstanding with the other customer; no matter, an excuse to return! The sandwich bread (a mini French baguette) was surprisingly crisp on the outside and didn’t at all get soft when I returned home 1.5 hrs later to enjoy it. Everything just looks and smells good. I look forward to returning.“

“The only time I have been here is for my friend's birthday brunch and she chose this place because I would have food to eat. I am vegan and gluten free and it is often difficult to find food I can enjoy. We went here last year and I got their burrito bowl. It was extremely tasty! This year, I was pleased to see they had an entire vegan/vegetarian menu to choose from. The almond milk pancakes were both vegan and gluten free. The pancake is actually just one huge pancake that fills the plate. The waitress said I would only need one pancake, however, I was still hungry after I ate it. So, I ordered an avocado toast with sweet potato hash on top. This was such a good meal! If they offer it when you go, you need to get it. Overall, I love their vegan options here and they are very accommodating to gluten free! I would say come early because parking on the street can be difficult.“

“Yet another excellent meal at Bloom, our go to local BYOB restaurant for around $50pp meals. One again each and every dish from the bread basket ( well worth $8) to the Branzino and the must have ( for us) Kimichi Bulgoni and Kale salad. Like their new dishes as well- we had the shrimp Kkochi. Excellent service- keep up the good work guys!“

“Came for Sunday brunch and there was a jazz trio playing in the dining room.Had the moules frites (~$26) which was good, though I had to ask for bread & the bread was over grilled (I was a little surprised they didn't bring bread for the table).My friends had the pasta options and the dry aged burger, & enjoyed it.Id come back to try their dinner menu given I read the chefs were ex Daniel Boulud.“

“For an asian bakery, the portions are huge and matches the price of each pastry. The pastries were delicious: my favourites were the ones with the hot dogs. The latte is also pretty good- the beans are sweet enough that I felt it didn't need extra sugar.“
