    Had a fantastic time here on a Friday night celebrating a friend's birthday. The place was packed! We were seated in the back under an amazing flower ceiling . They also have a nice bar area, a flower wall with booths and lots of seating in the main room. The ambience is really cool and so is the bathroom - as others have mentioned, push the red button!! Our server was fantastic, attentive without being intrusive, and let us celebrate in style. We started with a yummy cider and a fantastic Kentucky mule. I also had the French toast mocktail "for the drivers" which was delicious. I appreciated that they had a robust menu of nonalcoholic, creative cocktails The drinks are definitely NYC prices. We shared the bang bang shrimp & beets with goat cheese that were beautifully prepared and tasted delicious. My friend had the Korean barbecue sandwich that had a lovely side salad with a tasty vinaigrette. We also had the ahi tuna dinner which came out like a tower. The mashed potatoes were some of the best I've ever eaten, and I usually don't like mashed potatoes! The ahi tuna was overcooked and took away from the meal. We ended up sharing a huge bread pudding with candied bacon bits for dessert & cleaned the plate! What a great addition to this part of New Scotland Ave - adds a trendy vibe to the neighborhood. It's a great place for a special occasion! PS Make sure you save yourself some time to find a parking spot on the street - all the side lots were full when we went on a busy Friday night.

    Had an incredible book club meetup with 5 of my friends! Easily found parking and was sat right away (we had a reservation in which you put $10 down per person but you get that credited back your bill after dining). Our waiter was prompt and friendly. Each of us had a specialty cocktail which were tasty and strong. We shared the ahi tuna nachos, friend chicken and crab Rangoon dip appetizers. They portions were bigger than expected and delicious. I chose the scallop and risotto entree and yum, still thinking about it! It goes without saying that the decor is top tier. Will absolutely return.

    The place is gorgeous, well done for those influencer pictures of beautiful backdrops. A gorgeous flower wall and a party room with a beautiful flower ceiling. The bathroom is the most fun yet, a fun spot and old school party style, not to give it away. Must check it out for yourself. The food was ok. My Korean chicken sandwich wasn't spicy and just seemed to be missing something. Personally to bland for my liking. I substituted with a side of greens (salad) lettuce and that was absolutely what I got, thats it. It usually comes with side of fries. If I go back I would try the brunch or something else to see if I feel differently. My friend was ok with her ahi tuna but she said it wasn't her favorite. The service though was good and quick. It was the first Friday after opening and place was very quiet. Prices were kinda expensive for the hospital location, I don't see many going in for lunch.

    Korean chicken sandwich with Caesar salad

    10/10 Vibes are so cute for brunch with flowers everywhere They have nice drinks I got the Korean chicken sandwich and it was possibly one of the best chicken sandwiches I have had ever. Asked for an extra thing of sauce on the side and I'm glad I did. Chicken was soft and tender. Flavors worked together great. Caesar salad was okay, the fries that you can get are the type of fries on the more "string shoe" side - yum. Would recommend and will be visiting again

    Chicken katsu

    I've been watching for Bloom to open and I had to come for a girls dinner. The restaurant is gorgeous, we were seated at a cute booth underneath a flower wall. The vibe was great, our server was very kind and accommodating. We started with cocktails, the Final Say was delicious and similar to an aviation, I also enjoyed a dirty martini with blue cheese olives. A lot of the apps piqued our interest, but we decided in the crab Rangoon dip and the loaded potato funnel cake. The crab Rangoon dip was exactly as expected, very good! The wonton chips were a little greasy but still great with the dip. Unfortunately the loaded potato funnel cake was poorly executed and over cooked, so it was removed from the bill. Service was quick to resolve the issue. The truffle cheese wiz on the dish was delicious, but the potato cake was overdone. We then moved on to entrees, I chose the crab sandwich with greens after a heavy appetizer round. The sandwich was delicious, kinda like a crab salad BLT. I enjoyed the fresh taste and leftovers were just as good. The other two dishes on the table were the Katsu and Tortellini. The katsu was gorgeous and had great flavor. My friend loved the tortellini, added chicken, she said it was one of the best dishes she's had recently. It was a great course. We skipped dessert this evening, but the offerings sounded good. Overall, we had a very nice experience and I would definitely return. Also, I have to mention the party bathroom! Such a fun little quirk for this new spot. Make sure you press the red button during your bathroom break!

    I liked the korean fried chicken sandwich and the dessert was a unique experience for sure- dulce de leche crème brûlée, warm rice crispy cereal bites, strawberries and pop rocks. It is beautiful where they have the flower walls. The service was OK, but I came at a weird time and they only had one person working. Based on prior reviews and an interaction I had of my own I don't think this is a kid friendly environment, not because of anything the establishment did, but because of the general vibe from other people dining.

    Found this gem of a restaurant through my Fantasy Football league. We hold a banquet dinner every year and the commissioner picked this place. I loved my experience so much that I brought my husband back a week later so he could try it. Excellent and friendly service. Delicious, fresh food and great drinks. I love the way it's decorated. The decor lifts your spirits. Gluten and dairy free options!! For a fun experience, press the red button in the bathroom

    Supper club review from a group of foodies! Atmosphere - so cute! Be sure to hit the red button in the bathroom. Food - soo gooodd! Both apps were awesome. Top entree was chicken katsu (I can't wait to go back for this). Salads not as good but not worth a lower review. Dessert was amazing. Service. Very good! Attentive waitress, very kind about easily splitting the bill for our large group. Very happy! We will be back very soon! So happy to have this gem in Albany.

    Great food, great service and drinks, the banana bread bourbon was delish. Highly recommend this place. Love the flower wall .

    Crab cake Benedict

    If I lived in Albany, I would be a regular at Bloom! The decor is absolutely beautiful and truly stunning -- every detail feels thoughtfully designed and welcoming. The staff was incredibly attentive and kind, making the entire experience feel special from start to finish. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Bloom is such a gem -- I can't wait to visit again!

    Salmon entree

    The restaurant is beautiful on the inside, loved the attention to detail. The drinks took a couple minutes, but it was a Friday night so understandable. The appetizers were just OK not a ton of flavor or seasoning. You have to order multiple appetizers if you're a group because they aren't super shareable sizes. Entrées were a bit of a letdown for the price. Not a ton of flavor, and again kind of tasteless. Not sure we would drive down from Saratoga again, maybe give it one more shot for brunch.

    Ahi tuna nachos

    Went for Sunday brunch with my friend, had a great experience! We got the Ahi Tuna nachos to start, which were huge! But very good! All the ingredients were fresh and the wonton chips were so light and crispy. My friend got the shrimp tacos and I got the papas y huevos with a fried egg (hard) instead of the poached egg, I thought it was absolutely perfect, the cheese sauce on top with the pico made the dish amazing. My friend really enjoyed her shrimp tacos and (massive) side of fries. We both got cocktails and each one we had were very delicious. I highly recommend going!

Their drink menu is pretty big, they are an "open" bar but the liquor they use is made locally so they only use one brand so in that way you are limited BUT the drinks are still delicious. I had the Lady's Limoncello which is featured in the little boomerang I posted. They do give you complementary trail mix (not sure what to call it - can also be seen in the background on the video) and I think that's amazing. They don't have a food menu so it's nice to have a little snack while you drink. I came from out of state and I would love to go back. Loved the experience and the staff! Also Rachel makes an amazing pina colada shot!!! It was my friend's birthday and she made us a couple of shots and they were so yummy!!

The building itself is impressive, although maybe not quite as impressive as the castle-looking building next door. Our party of seven settled in at the bar as there otherwise did not seem to be a large enough table for all of us to gather around in either the main lounge area or a small room off to the side. The dark wood paneled walls, large fireplace, assortment of easy chairs, couches, and high desktop table gave off a feeling of warmth and welcoming. The friendly bartender introduced herself (sorry I've forgotten her name) and informed us that spirit-wise, the bar was capable of preparing the standard, traditional drinks like Manhattans, martinis, etc. All beers were poured from cans, and at my request, she recited the names of about six that were available. I don't believe anyone in our party inquired about the wines that were available. The building simply calls out for an explanation of its history. Upon our request, the bartender offered to provide either the "brief" or "full" option. We requested the full history. She was obviously well up to the task. You would be amazed at the variety of things you could learn here. Just to touch on a few key topics that were mentioned, consider Alexander Hamilton's wife, puffed rice, Bab-o cleanser (cue up the jingle), Bishop Gibbons, and an orthopedic surgeon. I don't know what the normal food arrangements are in the Lounge. I'm guessing that our out-of-town hosts requested some snacks for us as a few bowls appeared with mixed nuts, crackers and cheese, fresh grapes, humus, and warm pretzel/croissant rolls, and a plate of prosciutto wrapped cream cheese. Overall, the atmosphere here is simply friendly and inviting. I think it will become an occasional gathering place for our local friends when looking for a place that is quiet and relaxing.

Although the rooms have dark paneling the large windows and French doors allow for an abundance of light. The backyard is lovely and flows into Washington Park!

We arrived on a Saturday night around 6PM and there were three people at the bar. By the time we left around 7PM, there had been at most nine people including us. Either it was an off night or it is a quiet bar. The bartender was friendly, though he accidently forgot to bring our drinks and I had to remind him 15 minutes later. We ordered wings and loaded fries, and food came up relatively quickly. From what I understand, the kitchen guy was new. It showed in the fries, which were cooked but not crispy at all. It was like eating a loaded baked potato... not bad, but not fries. (They took them off the bill- thank you!). The wings were good and varied in size, though of our 10 Buffalo wings only one was a drumstick. I like flats so it was okay with me, but odd. We later ordered 10 more wings and my wife said she liked the Lemon-Pepper seasoning. They have happy hour specials from 5-8 which is nice, though three items were out by the time we arrived. I would have loved to try their maple-bacon wings but they had no maple syrup. In the room next door was a pool table and it might be fun to play sometime if we come back.

    New owners, new review…read more There was an everchanging group of friends who would gather weekly, prior to Covid, on a Friday evening at an establishment down the street from the Washington Tavern (better known as WT's to regulars) for a drink or two. Once a year on the Saturday before the St. Patrick's Day parade these friends would shift to WT's for what was known as "corned beef day." With new ownership of WT's it was about time that a call was put out to those friends to reunite. WT's was now the ideal place. Arriving on a Thursday at 4:30 we quickly realized that they didn't open until 5PM. They were kind enough to let us have a seat inside until the bar and kitchen were open and operational. They were not aware of our planned gathering so I will not nitpick about any service. In fact, the bartender who also acted as our server did a miraculous job handling the drinks and separate-check food orders for what grew to about 15 people in the backroom by the kitchen. Kitchen staff also did a wonderful job of getting the food out in a respectable time for our unexpected gathering at the start of their day. All the food I saw coming to our table looked inviting - wings; smashburgers; flatbreads; and someone's salad. I had a pint of Guinness with a Southern Smash burger ($16). There was plenty of flavor and a mix of textures as I took my first bite into the soft roll surrounding the smashed beef patty, a crunchy onion ring, fresh leaf lettuce, sliced tomato, American cheese, and a sweet BBQ sauce. Even the pickle spear on the side was tasty. A true surprise was what I believe were house-made potato chips - so crunchy with an herbed dusting that escapes me but helps to make them addictive. I foresee additional gatherings here in our future.
