   Bloom was phenomenal! We did the chefs table tasting menu and every dish was better than the last—legitimately can’t pick a favorite. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, and I didn’t miss meat, dairy, etc. at all. Also, the hostess, servers, and chef were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Highly recommend!!

   The 6-course meal was delicious and pleasing visually. Many different textures, flavors, contrasting temperatures. Chef-owner prepared and described our meal right in front of us. Talented man with a passion for sustainable eating. My further description of the meal will not do it justice, so you'll just have to try for yourself. I highly recommend it.

   The food is usually good, but unfortunately, it took over two and a half hours to receive our meal. While the server was kind, the service was extremely slow. It seems like poor management is the main issue, as they clearly need to hire more staff. Despite it being my birthday, they completely forgot about it, which was quite disappointing. I’ve always enjoyed the food here, but this experience left me very frustrated.

   Here for an annual conference. Always like to raise the bar eating out. We did tonight. We were hesitant to try anything veg in Chicago. after Green Zebra closed, but if you’re looking for a similar culinary experience, this is your place. Ambience is less retro and more organic, but still cool. Lighter. Beautiful. Cocktails are really fun (and mocktails were tempting- but we drink). Guessing alcohol tabs pay the bills in that neighborhood, so if you’re a moderate-drinking foodie , please go here. If in Chicago, please go often! We want this place to be an establishment! Looooved the endive salad, the arancini, the gnocchi (yucca based), and the lemon tart (parsnip based). We just didn’t have room for more. Portions were perfect!!! If you’re vegan (we aren’t), you’ll find paradise. My super-picky (like, 5 year- old picky) husband - who nearly cringed every time I ordered a dish- devoured everything, including all my food when I wasn’t looking . And proclaimed it one of his best restaurant meals in ages. Service from Melli at the bar was super fun, friendly, and attentive; and she had the perfect recs for food and beverages!! Oh and to boot, an imaginative wine list!! Top it off- all very reasonably priced (maybe on low end based on our experience) for the effort and craftsmanship in these recipes. Bonus: casual attire. Vegan or not, Bloom should be a destination place in Chicago for those who appreciate imagination/innovation in cooking——highly recommend!!!!

   The food was fantastic and our server/bartender Adrian was fabulous and so attentive- she is worth going for! All of our food was great but we didn’t like the chocolate dessert and the ice cream was pretty bad. Get the yuzu tart - it was fantastic! The food at Bloom is inventive and delicious. We would go back and will go back. I highly recommended Bloom!!!!

    We've been wanting to dine here for quite a while and I'm sorry to say that we left disappointed. Some food items, like the cultured cheese board and the stuffed piquillos were well prepared and tasty. Other items however, in particular the fried mushrooms, were so over seasoned and salty that they were not enjoyable. I would love to report on the Yuca Gnocchi, but I can't because it was never delivered to our table even though it made it on the bill. It was removed when I pointed out to our server that we never received the dish, but not keeping track of what items are reaching your patrons is unacceptable in a restaurant that automatically adds a 20% service fee. It's really hard to fine fine vegetarian dining, so I had very high hopes for this place, but sadly we won't be returning.
