  1. I LOVED this place. The food was amazing!!! I went there with a septic friend who was not as excited as me about that vegan restaurant. Guess what! He LOVED it too! Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and full of flavors. I truly believe every foody must try it. The restaurant is also very cute and charming. The only thing I could complain a little about would be the service, which was a little long.
    Go try it out!!

  2. Dark and Dingy

    I made reservations months in advance, as I was super excited to eat here.  I'd read the great reviews and love the area.

    The store front is charming and inviting from the outside.  Very romantic looking.

    When we entered to check in, we found it to be very crowded.  There are a few chairs but it's not a waiting area.  We had to wait in the stairwell which was cramped with other guests.  Those same steps also take you to the single restroom, that was so tight you barely had room to shut the door once inside.  Once we were sat, our server greeted us.  She seemed uber relaxed; too relaxed for my tastes.

    The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't memoriable either.  (Maybe it's because it was so dim in the dining area).  I love mood lighting,but when it's this dark my imagination gets the best of me.  I think of dirt and bugs.  With so many great choices in the city, we most likely won't make a return visit.

  3. Absolutely amazed, impressed and surprised. I took my vegan kids here and my girlfriend. First, she rolled her eyes and said "What kind of wine do I have at a vegetable restaurant?"
    Anyway make sure you go to the right one. We didn't, in fact my Google maps first sent us to two small locations. (not because I put the address in wrong but because Google steers you towards the most convenient one…)
    We made our reservation early 6:00 and got there a few minutes early because we were a bit time constrained. Our server was Stone. He was friendly accommodating and knowledgeable. He recommended two appetizers to start the flatbread of the day and the cashew cream ravioli. Holy smokes! They were incredible. Fresh complex and flavorful.
    For our dinner I had the Caesar salad on impulse because i saw one delivered to another diner. It was huge. Delicious crispy fresh, again the flavors exploded.
    I've also ordered the Cauliflower steak special the other the tempeh tower. They were freaking out over the deliciousness. There are so many other menu items I can't wait to try.
    Be back soon!

  4. I am a repeat diner of this place.
    I have so far taken five different people here about 9 or 10 times.

    The food is excellent, I almost always get the mezze platter for the curry sweet potato (so delicious). But I have also had the lasagna which is wonderful, the brussels sprouts are excellent and the soy ice cream is delicious.

    They also have very good wine here. The Pinot Noir by the bottle is wonderful.

  5. For a person who is not a vegetarian/vegan, I find that this place is adequate in satisfying taste-buds/dietary needs. I've always heard good things about this place and was gladly not disappointed. Would I make it a point to go back? Probably not but for it's purpose of serving good vegan food, I felt that this place accomplished its goal.

    My friends and I started with the Mushroom calamari and cape code cakes. The star of the entire meal for me was the mushroom calamari. It was nice and crispy and had the consistency of calamari. The mushroom itself was moist and tender, full of flavor. The cape code cakes were fine. Mushy on the inside, topped with some tarter sauce to remove the dryness of the cakes.

    As for entrees, I got the rigatoni in porcini cream.  The rigatoni was cooked al dente and there was plenty of broccoli rabe in the dish. A little bitter to my liking but still good. I found that it overall needed my salt but it was still good, with the sauce being nice and creamy with a hint of that truffle. I also tried the port wine seitan and found it be full of saucy flavor. The mash potatoes that came with it was good.

    Overall, a good foodie experience. I left feeling extremely full. The wait staff was very nice and the restaurant itself is decorated very nicely and spacious so you don't feel overly cramped while eating. I would definitely recommend this place to vegans and people wanting to try vegan food.

  6. First time at this location and as usual, it is amazing.  The app sampler was really great and you can try all the different foods.  Blossom doesn't feel like a vegan restaurant — it is just exceptional food, great service, great wine choices and overall a great experience.  The lasangna is great and I had a salad with the baked tofu on it and was so fresh–I have this meal in a lot of other places because sometimes that is the only vegetarian option but here, I know they make everything perfect so even if its basic, it's amazing.  This is one of the best restaurant options in NYC at this price point regardless if you are a vegetarian or not.

  7. I've had Blossom bookmarked for a while and I'm glad I finally got to try it.

    My husband and I made a Sunday night reservation for 7pm through OpenTable.  We showed up, sat down and it was smooth sailing from there.

    Our waitress was very nice and attentive.  We ordered Brussels sprouts, fried pickles and truffled mashed potatoes to start with.  Our appetizers arrived quickly and they were all tasty.  The fried pickles were our favorite and the ranch sauce was so good!

    For our main courses, we ordered the Hickory BBQ Tempeh and the Rigatoni In Porcini Cream.  Both were good (and filling), but not overly impressive.  

    The desserts were great!  We had the Tiramisu and Apple Cobbler.  Both were on point and so delicious.  

    With good food, great service and organic ingredients, Blossom is definitely a good place to check out.

  8. Came here for lunch and ordered off the brunch menu, though the sandwiches look hearty and delicious! I ordered the "Country Breakfast," aka tofu scramble with onions, mushrooms, spinach, tomato, and bell pepper, served with apple sage seitan sausage & mesclun greens. Though the restaurant is meat-free, they sure don't charge like it, though the servings are rather large. The tofu scramble was a bit too salty and had an Asian flavor to it (likely from the soy sauce), but the tofu instead of egg meant that the creaminess was a bit missing (plus the tofu has a hint of a bitter flavor). We were too full to order from the dessert menu, but if you leave an appetite the place looks like it has some unique options. This is a cute place (that is decorated a bit like a home living room, with tufted decor) to try out with a vegetarian or vegan friend, but is not a place that necessarily appeals to the omnivores who sometimes migrate to vegetarian options (as in, the seitan sausage wasn't bad but in my opinion can't live up to the real thing).
