Reviews for Blend 111 in Vienna, VA
Hubby surprised me with a birthday dinner here last week and it was a spectacular date night. Our server and all the staff who... assisted us were extremely pleasant. They made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. We enjoyed the snacks, and starters andshared a main item. I had some great organic wine. All the food was exceptional. The grilled bread was also great. I loved allof it. We had a wonderful night and I want to go back!!! Read more
Best restaurant I've ever been to!!! It checks off all the boxes of phenomenal food, beautiful decor, and excellent service. I... came here for my birthday, and they treated us so well. Everything was AMAZING!!! My favorite was the ribs. It was so full ofsmoky flavor. And the cocktails! The most unique and flavorful cocktails I have tried in a long while. Read more
I was unimpressed with the food, the service, and the price was outrageous for small portions, but not like really high... quality. It's a good atmosphere and some of the people in my group really did like the food. They charged our table 22%gratuity and they wouldn't let us eat the birthday cake we brought because it was "outside food." They did give us a smallcustard or something with a sparkler but there were two birthdays at our table. Read more
What a fabulous experience full of beautifully crafted dishes. The elevated culture centric dishes are an excellent execution of... the chef's blended Latin roots. This taste of Columbian and Puerto Rican cuisine was both pleasing to the eyes and palate. Thisis one of my top meals within this year. I will definitely be back. Without writing a journal entry, I will say some of theflavors contained punchy passion fruit forward acids in ceviche, to a fully saturated plate of colors starring hearts of palmwith a memorable batata with black sesame puree, bordered by two beautiful oils/sauces. That was just two appetizers. Hopefullythe pictures convey the level of care and love that goes into each plate at Blend 111. ???????? Read more
Great food. Good atmosphere (music, layout, decor). Friendly and attentive staff. Between the table of four we had the... rellenos de conejo appetizer (the best in my opinion), ceviche appetizer, pabellón criollo, picada de champiñones, and fideuáde mariscos. All of the entrees were awesome. The level of spice that was present was mainly momentarily intense, then subtle. The bourbon drinks manzana prohibida (warm), and avispas (my favorite) were both really interesting, flavorful, and refreshing. Dessert around the table was marquesa, tres leches, and pastel de zanahoria, of which there were no complaints. It?sdefinitely worth checking out, and will be interested to see what menu offerings are in the future . Read more
We had 3 for dinner, all had different appetizers and entrees along with a carafe of sangria and a couple desserts. The food was... very tasty and beautifully presented. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 - way overpriced and they asked us to leave as soon as the checkwas paid because they needed the table. If they would have waited 5 minutes, we would have been gone anyway. Thought that wasunnecessary. Read more
My first time here. A great spot close to but away from the bustle of Tysons. They have their own underground parking which is a... plus as street parking is scarce. Outdoor seating under the canopies was excellent. Socially distanced, following safetyguidelines, disposable menus. Just a beautiful setting. Menu is versatile and friendly to various needs. They have a full veggiemenu which is so appreciated. Cocktails & mocktails were imaginative and tasty. The food was amazing! A fusion of differenttastes that just got it right and made you want more. And it came out hot! Dessert was on point as well. We had just missedrestaurant week but will be back for sure. Thanks for a lovely evening. They had to kick us out at closing ????. We were justhaving a great time. Read more
It may be shocking to hear but I would only recommend dine-in for dinner. This review is based on my brunch reservation on a... Saturday. OH, and remember to make reservations because walk-in seems to be frowned upon even though there covers werelight. All the interesting entrees [like ceviche, crab arepas, tamarind-glazed rib, market fish] that I would of ordered (andyes, I would have ordered more than one to taste test and share with my dining group) were only available from the dinner menu. Instead, we ordered the following (see pics): >> corn fritters .... mostly sweet corn meal with few sweetcorn kernels, >> porkplantain hash, brisket cachapa .... largely underwhelming flavors >> cappucino, tres leches, marquesa desserts ..... the bestpart of the meal! I think I would just come here for the desserts and coffee. Note that the entrees and appetizers tastedquick fresh but the flavors all seems subdued. So I had high-expectations and the overall brunch seemed pricey but one ispaying for the freshness and originality. In any case, if you decide to come, make reservations for dinner and definitely saveroom for dessert. Read more
