Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Blend on Main is a cherished dining spot known for its "absolutely amazing" food and "tremendous" service. The creative menu offers generous portions and BYOB is a plus. Highlights include the "big chop," prime rib, and delectable desserts like the "crack waffle." While ambiance can be lively, this doesn't detract from the "great experience" patrons consistently enjoy.

The value for this restaurant is that it is a BYOB.. The atmosphere is lively but also cozy with the fireplaces running. We ordered the pork chop, the best my spouse has every had and an amazing size. The special crab cakes were also the best I'd ever had. Would definitely come back.

This was my first visit and look forward to my next! From the bread starter with dipping sauce and whipped ricotta to the perfectly-prepared steak- every bite was excellent. Portions are lovely and meal courses were timely very well. It was an excellent experience! Don’t miss the Brussels sprout appetizer!

We’ve been eating here for years. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. The room can get a bit noisy, but that’s more due to people lacking decorum than to anything related to the restaurant or staff.

What can I say? Blend is absolutely the best. We had onion soup, the special tri-colore salad, and filet mignon. Service is just right, attentive, but not at all intrusive. Our food was so delicious, cooked to perfection! Can’t wait to go back!
