    This was our first time at Bloom and we'll be back. From the very nice hostesses to the fantastic bartender to the server - not to mention the food - was above expectations. We had a pre-dinner drink at the bar which was lovely. And Oh My! the whiskey and bourbon selection was amazing. The food was spectacular - fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs, chix and waffles for him and shrimp and grits for me - all w/o fault. Well, having lived in the South for 25 years before relocating, I'd of loved to see pimento cheese w/the tomatoes. And banana pudding to go - wow! that made for a tasty breakfast.
