   My husband and I went here for a date night, and it exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed every dish we tried. I especially loved the yuca gnocchi. Despite the cuisine being elevated, the vibe was accepting and laidback. Our server was friendly and polite. Our questions were answered, and the recommendations proved correct. The small plates were actually a little bigger than I was expecting. The prices were definitely reasonable for the quality and quantity of food we received. I will absolutely go back. It was lovely to have such a fantastic dining experience.

   Great vibe! The food was amazing that Quinoa salad and creme brule was everything.

   This is one of mine and my husband’s favorite places to eat. We bring everyone who comes to town to visit and it’s literally changed people’s mi nds about what vegan food can be. We love Bloom

   My 15 yo daughter is a vegetarian and also requires a gluten free diet. Finding suitable restaurants can be difficult. It was a treat to find Bloom, where gluten-free and vegetarian is a staple and not just an afterthought. In addition, the food is truly remarkable. Beautifully presented and the flavors are incredible. Such a nice find. It really made for a wonderful experience for my daughter and me.

   We had a great experience with our Argentinian server who made our evening the event of the week. The food recommendations were fantastic with so many flavors and colors. Thank you making our evening special

   I enjoyed having the four course meal. But they came so quickly. We received the first three and the appetizer within 14 minutes. It would’ve been more enjoyable to have it spread out.  I also felt that the restaurant week advertisement was misleading in terms of the courses and gratuity not being stated included. The 20% was fine as I usually do that and more, but it should state the same on the advertisement of what is being shown in the restaurant. The beet tart was extremely hard to cut and eat, although tasty. Didn’t care for the onion tart. The fried oysters were amazing.

   Went here for a special celebration date. Wouldn’t go for a celebration again - courses came out super rushed, even as we were still clearly eating previous courses; plates being taken while we were still eating; check ins every 5 minutes or less to see if we were done with a dish; bill dropped as we received dessert. They said there would be a 90 minute time limit but all courses were served within about 30, despite us repeatedly asking that they slow it down given the special occasion. Good flavors but some food also tasted freshly defrosted (hit what seemed to be an ice layer in the dessert) and some stale - not sure if anything was fresh. A shame because as vegetarians we were so excited to try this and it was a treat we saved for a celebration, but can’t recommend for that.

   I've eaten at Bloom three times over the past two years, and I can't wait to return. The plant-based cuisine is flavorful and inventive. I'm an omnivore, and Bloom is some of my favorite food in Chicago. The servers are great and can give more details and recommendations on the menu, and you can't go wrong with your choice- everything I've had is delicious! The tables are a bit close together, but the acoustics are good, so you won't have an issue chatting with your party.
