This was our second time returning to Bloom for a birthday celebration. The food was amazing. The flavors are complex and wonderful, and the menu is innovating and creative. The only thing I would say is that the entrée portion was quite small. We were very satisfied for several hours, but then found ourselves hungry a few hours later. The chocolate mousse dessert made with avocado was an excellent way to top off a great dinner. Thanks Bloom! We will be back.
