    Have been wanting to come here for a while after I heard it was really good. We came here on a Friday night and it was very empty which really concerned us. Parking was $20 so we were really hoping it was going to be worth it. The restaurant is really cute inside, it is up on the 5th floor. We got the potato "Anna" for an app, so so good. The sauce and the deep fried potato was amazing. For entrees, we got the duck and the scallops with the pommos potato side. These were also great! The scallops were flavorful and those fancy mashed potatoes were the best thing ever. Overall it was a great meal, the staff was not super attentive. Most times they weren't really in the restaurant section. Kinda odd, but with staffing issues and this being in downtown we were trying to be patient. Would come back if I was in the area

    This was literally the BEST avocado toast I've had! Everything paired so well together and had great flavor. I love a Caramel iced coffee but the waiter made me something as close as she could to it. The staff was attentive. It was a nice day out so I sat on the patio and the ambiance was beautiful.

    DUCK A L'ORANGE  45

    The space is really nice and vibey. Modern, yet comfortable and open. I love that it's attached to Miaou Miaou, which makes for a perfect post-dinner drink spot. The service ruined the evening for me though. It was absolutely horrible. They rarely checked in on us and when they did, they made it very clear they didn't want to be there and they didn't want us there either. It was very awkward. The drinks and food took FOREVER to come, which was shocking considering we were one of two groups in the place and it seemed like they weren't short-staffed. It was a painfully long wait for anything we asked for, so we rushed our meal so we could get out. All that to say, the food and drink I got were really good! I loved the martini. It's a very basic drink, but the presentation of it was top notch. I ordered the Duck a L'Orange, which was divine. Every bite was delicious and every person at the table tasted it and agreed! As much as I'd recommend this place for the food, the service was so horrid that I'd cautiously recommend it since you can get great food elsewhere in the metro with way better service...

    The ambiance was not as moody as it's portrayed online, leaving it kind of awkward feeling. Our waitress was super kind and friendly but the experience was odd, she didn't come around often and when she did she didn't gather our plates or ask if we wanted dessert, we waited over 30 min for our plates to be cleared and by that time we were desperate for the bill. We ordered the salmon ($40) and the pomme Anna (au gratin potatoes) to share. The pomme Anna was described and buttery crisp cheesey potato - it was that but on top of a bed of tomato sauce. It was an interesting dish to say the least the tomato soup through me off. The salmon was delicious and the high light of the evening - crispy pan seared perfectly cooked salmon BUT $40 for a 4oz slice of salmon is crazy CRAZY - with no sides!? Wild

    Had brunch here for the first time today. The space is beautiful, like a really cute space! The couple next to us had just finished their meal and said it was the best brunch they've ever had and recommended the streak frites. I opted to order the avocado toast, because I had spent days drooling over pictures of it, and was really excited to try it. It did not disappoint! The bread had a perfect crunchy crust, with a soft center. The avocado and lobster were delightful! Our server didn't ask how I wanted the egg prepared, I would have opted for over medium instead of over easy, but it actually turned out to be just fine. The drinks were refreshing, but the Bloody Mary came with lackluster garnish. A beef stick, olives, pickles, cheese or something flavorful would have really improved the drink experience. However, my fiancé was able to order an IPA that was not on the menu, which we really appreciated them accommodating that request. Overall, it was a great experience, and I cannot wait to go back.

    CRÉME BRULÉE  11
    Darren L.

    First, I want to preface this by saying I have loved all of the sister restaurants owned by Daniel del Prado and so we were very excited to finally try Blondette! So, it might have been my own excitement that led to me not being so impressed with our experience. We had dinner at Blondette on a Friday night, and the restaurant was about half empty (which surprised me, but maybe it's because fewer people are working downtown). We were a party of 6 and started with some drinks (a little on the pricier side) but were so good. I got the old fashioned and would highly recommend it. For my entree, I got the grilled chicken with foie gras jus under the skin. I love foie gras but if that is a deterrent for anyone, you couldn't really taste it. It was very good chicken though! With my entree I got a side of Pommes Anna, which was delicious (and crunchier than I expected). I think I could have split the side with someone else and it would have been enough. Finally, for dessert, I shared a crème brûlée. I'm a sucker for these and this one was exceptional. Not a big fan of the butter cookie that it came with, but the crème brûlée itself. ‍ FYI-- parties of 6+ they automatically add a gratuity and cannot split the bill. So, plan to have one person pay and then figure it out from there. They are very up front about this when you make a reservation, but thought I would include here as well.

    Yum. We came for brunch after a stay at the Rand! I had heard great things about Blondette and was excited to try it! First of all, the space is beautiful. The skylight roof is an extra fun element, and I think would be even more incredible on a sunny day! Our server was wonderful! She recommended a few things and we ended up with the avocado toast, yogurt + granola and the classic breakfast. Everything was SO good. Nothing crazy but with enough unique things that made it even better. The avocado toast was topped with a runny egg, king crab, avocado and jalapeños. Perfect meld of flavors! The yogurt + granola, while basic sounding, was exactly what I love in a breakfast! Fresh and bright, the fruit was lovely, granola also amazing! And the classic breakfast. As noted, it's a classic, but two standouts were the pommes pave (thin layers of potato and butter, I assume, topped with cheese sauce) and the huckleberry jam for the bread! We loved it so much we asked the server to pack up the rest of the jam, and she went one step further and packed two new ones in for us! Overall, highly recommend. Pricing, on par with brunches downtown, but for sure some of the tastiest!

    This place is so cute! It's so cozy, but also light and open. The food is excellent. You get what you pay for, high quality food excellent taste! We ordered the Burrata, Leeks, oysters for an app. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE LEEKS! my favorite thing on the menu were the leeks! I also got the scallops and risotto. Both were amazing! Personally liked the risotto a little bit more, it is very buttery, but butter makes everything better, and super delicious! We were in a time crunch, on our way to a show, and the service was very quick and accommodated to our timeline. If you were looking for a cute date, night out, or a place to celebrate something special in your life, go to this place! You will not be disappointed.

    Have been meaning to try out this place for a while so made reservations for a Friday night with some friends. The place is a little hard to find for first timers maybe. You walk into the Rand Hotel and then have to get on the elevators to the fifth floor. You see the bar Miaou Miaou and have to walk through the bar to get to the restaurant. Not overly complex but not simple if you haven't been before. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Fairly sizable dining room with some seating on the balcony. Clean and classy decor. You still get that "I am in a hotel" feeling but nice layout and comfortable. We ordered a few drinks which were all very tasty. The G&T was especially nice and La Vedette but the Nymphea and the Old Fashioned were both good too. Ordered a few of the appetizers. Beef Tartare, Charred Leek, Burrata Tartine, Tuna Crudo, Pomms Anna and Grilled Maitake Mushrooms. The tuna crudo was spicy with a great balance of flavors. The Charred Leeks were tasty with a great sauce and we dipped the bread in the sauce. Pro Tip: Order extra bread which comes perfectly toasted to dip into the sauces. The burrata tartine was also unexpected but tasty. For the entrees we ordered, Parisian Gnocchi, Rapini Risotto, Steamed Mussels, Seared Scallops, Grilled Wagyu Zabuton and Duck A L'Orange. All dishes were good but the standouts were the risotto and the gnocchi. THe duck and wagyu were good but nothing extraordinary. Have had better in the cities. The service and the food is what you would expect from people behind Sanjusan, Martina and Macanda among others. Which is to say great quality and service. I would come again and get the apps and the scallops.

    Found the best natural lighting and the most refreshing drinks at Blondette. Seriously go on a sunny day so you can bask in the sun. Not only was the Le CouCou drink beautifully presented, it taste even better- vodka, chamomile, lavender, madeira, lemon and egg white The steak had great flavor and the oysters were so fresh! Head over to the Rand Tower Hotel take the elevator to the 5th floor and enjoy

    Brunch: FOIE GRAS BREAKFAST SANDWICH  65 & STEAK FRITES AU POIVRE  34
    Anjeline R.

    Husband and I tried this on the first day they did brunch to the public. We only ordered food and an orange juice to share. Our server was great. He was friendly and knowledgeable. I got the foie gras sandwich and my husband got the steak frites. I am such a fan of foie gras so I had to get it; however, it was super super oily!! I was shocked at how much oil everything had. My husbands steak frites was actually really good and cooked how he requested. The best part was probably the curry mustard sauce they had. I was blown away with how good it was. Honestly, I'd come back for drinks (in the evening) but I'm not sure if I'd come back for brunch. I felt like it was overpriced for what we got. It's very aesthetically pleasing though.

    Food: flavors were incredible and all the food was played very cleanly. Portion sizes were appropriate for the price and I was very pleased with how well the spices and sauces complimented the main food item Service:. Our server was very attentive and checked in with us several times before ordering, during our dining, and after to ensure we were properly tended to. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the food items Ambiance: music was modern and the whole place was nicely lit to provide a pleasant and youthful vibe that wasn't overwhelming. It wasn't overly crowded

    We came here for my belated birthday dinner. We made reservations and sat by the booth. The place is very nice inside, great service and wonderful meal. We had their oysters, tuna crudo, seared scallops and prime rib. All the food were delicious. Drinks were very good as well, I had Dame Blanche and Gin & Tonic. I highly recommend this place.

    Small Hours is such a cool concept. It feels like a European wine bar dropped right into a…read moreneighborhood setting. The wine list is really thoughtful and leans toward smaller, lesser-known producers and unique regions. Even if you know wine well, there are still plenty of interesting picks here. Just note that by-the-glass options are limited, so it's more of a place where you end up ordering a bottle. The space is beautifully designed. Very minimal, clean, and intentional. It feels elevated without being overdone. It is definitely expensive for what it is. Both the wine and food lean high in price, but you're also paying for the atmosphere and overall experience. The menu is also a bit different in a fun way. The tinned fish selection stands out and isn't something you see often. The radish butter and bread was a highlight and absolutely worth ordering. Service is a little unconventional since you order at the counter, which feels a bit off given the pricing, but everything still runs smoothly.

    Small, but mighty. Cozy, but not necessarily comfortable. Great wine, good food…read more The concept is great! A fabulous wine menu and knowledgeable staff. We wanted a recommendation and the wine picked for us was excellent. Went with the Plavac Milos. The food is honestly incredible! The carrots were my favorite. Someday I'll get enough courage to try the tinned fish. I wish seating was a little more comfortable for the whole "drink a bottle and stay awhile" vibe. It also can get pretty loud when it's busy in the tight quarters.
