I had an amazing experience dining here thanks to Savannah! From the moment we were seated, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. Her attentiveness, warm personality, and knowledge of the menu really stood out. Every recommendation she gave was spot-on, and she managed to balance professionalism with a genuine friendliness that made the evening even more enjoyable. Service like hers elevates the whole dining experience. You can tell she truly cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends thanks to the outstanding service she provided!

"I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic Latin restaurant, and it truly exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was vibrant and energetic, with lively music and colorful decor that transported me to the streets of Havana. But the real highlight was the food - oh, the food! I ordered the Cuban sandwich, and it was absolute perfection. The ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard all came together in perfect harmony, pressed between crispy bread that added just the right amount of crunch. And the yellow rice with chicken? Wow! The flavors were incredibly rich and savory, with tender chunks of chicken cooked to perfection and infused with just the right amount of spice. It was the perfect complement to the Cuban sandwich. The service was also top-notch - our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with this Latin restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Latin dining experience. Five stars, hands down!"

Valeria served us and she was so attentive, kind, sweet and GORGEOUS yet humble 🩷. The food was delicious, as were the drinks. I got the classic tres golpes and my husband got the churrasco. Unfortunately we got there too early and the frozen drink machines were still in the process of freezing the drinks so the frose (me) and the margarita (husband) were more slush than frozen but they were still delightful. We had the chocolate lava cake for dessert, which was decadent. The restaurant is beautiful inside too. Overall, 10/10 recommend.

Went for brunch twice within a 1 week period, first time food was better. Service was ok. Empanadas were good as were the arepas. My steak sandwich was good but a little chewy. Overall it was ok but like I said better the first time, maybe different chef.

We went there for the dinner. The food and environment were really good. We have enjoyed it but from the service points it was not that standard. Server was not paying good attention to us. However, besides the service points it was good we enjoyed it.

I ordered to go a few days ago. I ordered steak and chicken. The food wasn't that good this time. It didn't seem fresh. Also Please stop putting plastic containers with sauces and beans inside the food. The plastic melts into the food because of the heat and it's not safe. I called to have the sauces and the container with beans outside my food but again when my order arrived the plastic was melted on top of the rice. You guys need to be careful.

Came to Blend around 6:30 PM and didn’t leave until about 10:30 PM, and honestly the service was the biggest disappointment of the night. Our waitress was painfully slow and spent more time in the back chatting (most likely with her boyfriend or a friend) instead of checking on her six tables. We were clearly done with our drinks multiple times and sat there waiting way too long to be acknowledged. It felt like she was more interested in socializing than actually doing her job. That said, I will give credit where it’s due — her food recommendation was actually really good, and the apps we ordered were nice. We only had 3 apps to share and 6 drinks total, which should not take four hours. The only reason we even stayed as long as we did was because there was a woman at the bar creating a whole scene, so I understand that disturbance wasn’t the staff’s fault. What’s shocking is that we were told the waitress who took us in is actually the manager. If that’s true, that’s really concerning because her behavior was unprofessional and sloppy. Definitely not the level of service you’d expect from someone in charge. Overall, decent food, but the service alone makes me think twice about coming back.

Had dinner two weeks ago to celebrate a friend's birthday. The preset menu had good choices, and the food and service were good. However, the drinks were very expensive, and the tip was automatically included, which was a bit frustrating. That’s why I gave the restaurant three stars. 😕✨

The wait service could definitely improve. Waiter was not attentive until it was time for the check. Could have had over 10 more drinks if service was there. Had empty glasses throughout the time spent. Food quality was great, the portions however were tiny. But the quality made up. Ordered appetizers entre and more apps, but still left hungry. The help service was great, clearing plates , but the service for taking orders was slow, and not overall friendly

I’ll start with the pros before the cons.. The food was definitely worth the 1 hour and 10 minute wait, big portion and great drinks! Beautiful presentation. However! I did not enjoy waiting over an hour for my appetizers. It was fairly busy for a Saturday early brunch however no excuse really, you should be prepared for a rush. They did please us with allowing us to order a dinner item during brunch, that was super nice. We were a walk in which was a bonus to be seated so quickly. But I didn’t appreciate our server dodging us as time progressed of us waiting, a simple “I’m sorry your food is taking longer than expected” would’ve sufficed for our frustration. We did get a round on the house to make up for it but I think our appetizer should’ve been comped as well but I’ll say I appreciated that too. I’m just disappointed in the wait time and lack of service. I’ll gladly apply here if you need the help..

Good food and nice atmosphere, but the overall service could improve. The food at Blend Astoria was really good, and the place itself has a warm, family-friendly vibe. However, the service — from the moment we arrived at the entrance to the table experience — could use some improvement. At first, we weren’t allowed to sit until our whole group was there, which is understandable, but once everyone arrived, the food still took quite a while to be served, even after waiting for two more guests. The staff wasn’t rude, but overall their attitude felt a bit too serious and not as welcoming as expected. It was still a good experience overall — tasty food, pleasant ambiance, but the service could definitely be smoother and more attentive from start to finish. ⭐️ Food: 4/5 ⭐️ Service: 3/5 ⭐️ Ambiance: 4/5

It's not a place I'd come back. For a weekday, there were about 6 tables( two 2people each) sitting and the waitress took a while to initially come and take our order. The first drink that came out the lemon still had the sticker on it. The calamari would have tasted fine but the oil that they cooked it in definitely needed to be changed days ago. When our entrees came out not impressed at all. They were a bit dry and lacking flavor. When paying for the bill just be careful. Was just handed the machine without showing the itemized receipt and the tip was already added, I tapped my card and another screen showed that said add tip, they never said that's above the 20 percent...so just take a look at what's your paying for.

My husband made reservations for Valentine’s Day and paid $90 per person, which was supposed to include one appetizer each, one entrée, two chocolate-covered strawberries, a cup of champagne, and live entertainment. Unfortunately, the experience did not match the price. To start, the “live entertainment” that was advertised was not live at all. It appeared that someone simply connected a phone via Bluetooth and played music. That was very disappointing, especially since live entertainment was part of what justified the Valentine’s Day pricing. For the appetizer, we ordered the crispy arepas. Normally, when dining here on a regular day, they serve three arepas. However, for this special prix-fixe menu, we were only given two. It was surprising to receive a smaller portion on a night when we were paying significantly more than usual. The food itself tasted good, but the portion sizes did not reflect the elevated holiday price. For $90 per person, I expected either larger portions or something more elevated than the standard menu. Additionally, my husband purchased the $20 assorted chocolate add-on. What we received was a small tin heart with three artificial pink roses and four chocolates that honestly looked like something you could buy at a discount store for a fraction of the price. It did not feel worth $20 at all. Overall, the experience did not justify the cost. While the food was good, the reduced portions, lack of promised live entertainment, and underwhelming add-ons made this Valentine’s Day dinner very disappointing. I truly expected more for what we paid.
