Came to Bloom for the second time recently, after coming years ago and trying a bunch of the most popular items from their menu. Food was solid then and is still solid now. The first time I tried the pulled pork bene, chicken and waffles, and croissant french toast, I liked all with the croissant french toast being my favorite because I'm a sucker for french toast. This time we got the California Bene and Steak & Eggs. The steak was cooked perfectly, the California bene was pretty messy and hard to share, but it was loaded up with bacon and avocado. Each meal came with duck fat potatoes, which were really good. Portions are very large, we left super full and ended up taking home a lot of the potatoes. It gets really crowded, so come early or prepare to wait. We arrived shortly after they opened and got a seat no problem, but by the time we were done around 9:15am on a Saturday, there was already a wait. The first time I came was a weekday afternoon, and it was even packed then. The one downside other than the wait is that because it's crowded, it is very loud. It's not a very relaxing dining experience, but brunch often isn't.

Jumbo Crab Bene
Fumika T.

Came here on Saturday around noon to celebrate some small milestones. I arrived a bit later than my party so they were waiting about 15 minutes longer than me. I think we only waited 30 minutes total. Bloom has both outdoor and indoor table seating, as well as booths and a bar. Although I didn't get any footage the queue of people waiting was huddled all around the storefront. Even with a full restaurant we were served really quickly and I felt the noise level was vibey, and not disrespectful. The people to bathroom ratio is a bit rough, and we all had to wait for a while. I got the jumbo crab bene. I think Benedict's can sometimes be a hit or miss for me. I really hate it when they use the rubbery type of bread, but their bread was fresh and buttery. Enormous amount of crab too. I felt I needed the fiber and chose it have it with fruit instead of potato's, and was pleasantly surprised all of the fruit weren't tart at all, even with my ube drink. 10/10!

sweet potato shishito hash
Donna T.

Adequate brunch spot that I feel is better than a lot of other rival brunch restaurants in the south bay. Lots of greenery on the walls and I liked how there were fresh flowers on every table! The sweet potato shishito hash intrigued me from the get-go and it did not disappoint. I've never seen a place offer this combination; the saltiness from the corned beef hash intermingled with the sweetness from the sweet potatoes was delicious and well-played. The shishito peppers kind of just tasted like slightly undercooked bell peppers though -- I think they would have benefited from some extra blistering. Nonetheless, still a diverse dish that I'd come back for. Service was efficient and our server was patient with us even though there were crowds forming. Additionally, the restaurant is pretty small so expect the tables to be fairly close to one another.

A fun and flavorful brunch spot with standout dishes, creative drinks, and generous portions. Went to Bloom with Des and BB for brunch before an afternoon of shopping at Valley Fair, and it was the perfect start to the day. Located in a shopping center next to Starbucks, Bloom offers a menu with a little something for everyone -- from indulgent brunch options to lighter choices. Des and I shared the churro waffle, which was a standout. It had a crispy texture and was coated in cinnamon and sugar, topped with melted cookie butter, fresh strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. It also came with maple syrup, but honestly, it didn't even need it. Portions are definitely large enough to share. We also ordered the "Bacon & Eggs", which came with scrambled eggs and duck fat fried potatoes. The eggs were fluffy and well done, while the bacon had a great balance of savory, sweet, and a slight kick from red pepper flakes. The potatoes had great flavor with garlic and parsley, though they could have been cooked a bit longer for a softer texture. BB ordered the jumbo crab Benedict, which was impressive. The English muffin seemed house-made, with a soft, flaky interior, and the amount of lump crab on the plate was very generous -- definitely a standout dish. For drinks, I had the butterfly lychee martini, which came with a vial of butterfly pea simple syrup that changes the color from blue to purple -- fun to watch and great in flavor. BB had the lavender matcha, which was beautifully presented and also well enjoyed. One small note -- the water served was lukewarm, which made it less refreshing. Service was great overall. There was a bit of a wait since they don't take reservations, but it moved quickly. Pricing is very reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. Overall, a great brunch spot with creative dishes and plenty of options. Definitely looking forward to coming back to try more from the menu

Finally had a chance to try this spot recently and was pleasantly surprised! This place always had a line so I was curious. I'm not a fan of brunch spots because they feel overly simple or seem like its trying too hard but I was surprised at the variety of flavors they have. We ordered takeout: some savory dishes and a churro waffle to try. Crab cakes benedict was pretty good. Decent balance of flavors but pairs well with ketchup or cholula sauce. The garlic potatoes are so good! Chilaquiles was decent. I've only had it one other time - this one was ok! They had two eggs, chunk of avocado, some cherry tomatoes, cheese, salsa, and chips. Churro Waffles are so good! I don't typically like the sweet stuff but this was pretty good with a cup of coffee. Generous amount of berries! All in all - flavors were good at this place but it does feel a liiiittle pricey for what you get. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a special brunch spot!

Jumbo Crab Bene

I got some food for takeout at around 10:30a on a Saturday, and I must say, even for take out it was 5/5! The chilaquiles had the right mix of chips, eggs, cheese, and great tasting salsa. The crab benedict was good and I enjoyed the garlic potatoes. The only gripe here would be the little bits of shell I could feel. The churro waffle was pretty much perfect, not too soggy and not too hard. Not super sweet but you're not left wanting more of anything in either bite. I hope to come try it in the restaurant next time!

Morning Glory Mimosas
Paula C.

Bloom completely lived up to the hype. My friends and I chose it based on the great reviews, and we were honestly so impressed. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. And I have to say--I was not expecting such a cute, elevated spot tucked into a strip mall next to a grocery store. I really hope they continue to get the recognition they deserve. We each ordered our own breakfasts and shared the churro waffles (which were amazing). The drinks were delicious, but the standout detail was the signature ice cube stamped with "BLOOM"--such a small touch, but it felt so thoughtful and elevated. We were all kind of blown away and couldn't stop talking about it. We will definitely return and I highly recommend!

California  Bene

We decided to try a new place out foe brunch and decided on this place. I never knew it was next to Luckys. Always thought it was a floral store. Anyways. Plenty of parking here at this complex. We did not have any reservations but was seated right away inside. The hostess was nice and friendly. We were able to order our food and receive it quickly. I opted for the corned beef but the waitress said that it is shredded. I was fine with trying something new. I would say the dish was fine but my veggies were slightly undercooked. I thought the potatoes in duck fat was flavorful. My wife got a Bene dish. She enjoyed it and the portion was large!! I think next time I will try their more popular dish of the chicken and waffles since that appeared to be a fav and large in size.

Every time I pass by this place always has a line out the door( literally) and today was no difference. Came on a Saturday morning and the line was all the way out the door. The wait was about 45 minutes so I got some coffee at Starbucks and waited there. I ordered steak and eggs and my friend got the churro waffles. Steak was cooked perfect medium and was juicy and delicious. The churro waffles really good as I got my sugar cravings out the way. The place is a bit tight in space, but I see why it's always busy. Great service with really good food.

BLT Sandwich with Garlic Fries
Madison B.

We came here around 9am on a Saturday Morning and got sat immediately before the morning rush! I got the special lavender matcha and it was nice and refreshing and not too sweet! For food, I got the special BLT sandwich which was good and had a cheese crust. It came with salad and garlic fries which were both so delicious! My boyfriend got the Chicken Pesto Sandwich which came with the same sides and was great as well! Our server brought out a croissant french toast which they had an extra of which they gave us for free. It was delicious and a very nice surprise. I would recommend getting the croissant french toast if you have a sweet tooth, the whip cream was nice and refreshing. Altogether, this was a good experience with the food and service, I would definitely come back!

Lavender Lychee Martini before the lavender syrup.
Sylvia D.

First time here and even on a rainy day, it is quite busy. We waited for about an hour and got serve quickly. The food was amazing and portion was huge! You can honestly share a plate with another person. I got the lavender lychee martini and I was told the Bloody Mary is delicious. Defiantly have to try that next. Ambiance is cute and cozy. Though, it feels quite crowded with the space between the tables and people trying to go to the bathroom. I would recommend coming here.

Veggie scramble

Amazing breakfast to start the day! We were visiting the area and went on recommendation from Yelp and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Portions are huge and food is fresh & tasty! Can't go wrong here.

Chicken Pesto Sandwich
Grace H.

Visited Bloom with a friend on a Thursday for brunch and it was pretty busy. Luckily, there was no wait and service was great. Very attentive staff. The menu is huge and I'm happy they have regular lunch options on top of typical breakfast and brunch items such as croissant French toast and eggs Benedict. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich which came with a side of garlic fries and small salad. Portion was great and the food was delicious. I also got a side of their aioli which was amazing with the fries. Overall, I'd be back. Service was great and food was delicious. I don't know if it's worth the wait though on the weekends but for a weekday brunch spot, definitely worth it. Plenty of parking in the lot as well.

I always ordered the chicken dish, so when it came out this time, I was genuinely confused. The menu describes it as having a garlicky yogurt sauce, but there was none. I even checked their website afterward, and the dish I received looked nothing like the one advertised. I also looked through recent reviews and photos from other customers, and even those dishes looked very different from what we were served. If the recipe or sauce changed, I really think customers should be informed. When I asked the waitress, she explained that it now comes with a zhoug sauce instead, but that isn't mentioned anywhere on the menu. Oddly enough, the same sauce was also used on the Dorada fish dish. We also used to love the lamb, but they changed that dish too by removing the sauce and couscous base. I'm not sure why the changes were made, but it's just not the same anymore. Overall, it was really disappointing, especially since we chose to spend Mother's Day here. The food quality has definitely gone downhill. On top of that, the restaurant seemed extremely understaffed -- there appeared to be only about three servers working the entire floor all night. The ambiance was still decent, but the overall experience just didn't feel like the Meso we used to love. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place anymore.

I think traditionally, you need reservations for Cielo, but their Winter Experience (ran through December and mid-January) is first-come, first-served. The Winter Experience is a Christmas-themed set-up - very tastefully and beautifully decorated - with Christmas music (even 2 weeks after the New Year). the tables along the edge have small in-table fire pits AND a tall heated furnace - you will not be cold in December. these tables do require a minimum spend of $50 per person, which we came into this expecting that regardless - however, it sounds like you can sit at any of the other tables without this minimum spend, though you will only have a blanket for warmth. the sunset was beautiful, though keep in mind that we do live in a city, and there are other tall buildings around, so don't set your expectations too high. Overall, we are so happy we finally checked this place out, and that we were able to do so during the Winter Experience. We did find it overpriced (considering it's at Hotel Valencia... we weren't surprised) for what you get. I tried one cocktail (~$20) that tasted like a flavored soda, before switching to wine; my husband had 2 Old Fashioned, they were both made differently but both good. The food was good - small, shareable portions. We're happy to have finally stopped in, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come again. HOW TO GET THERE: enter Hotel Valencia from the ground floor; take the elevator to Floor 3; go straight down the hall, pass the front desk on your left, to the second set of elevators; take that to the top floor

When compared to the APRÈS VILLAGE experience at the Four Seasons, it doesn't come close. The food menu is very limited, and food took quite a while to come out.

Beyond that, it's nothing to make a big fuss over, and I can't say I'd go out of my way to return.

The crab was very fresh and each crostini had a large portion of crab on top. The Brussels sprouts were very crispy and very umami with the cheese and bacon combination mixed in. The empanada was honestly a showstopper. I don't know how to describe it other than you have to try it. Both pastas were good but I prefer the mushroom one over the short rib ragu. The halibut was also good, and the basil sauce made it even better. I was already super impressed with everything but I think the stars were the 2 desserts. The Dubai cheesecake was an Italian style cheesecake, so it was a lot lighter than I was expecting (which was welcomed) and captured the essence of Dubai chocolate without being too overwhelming. The Lira in Wonderland was also SO good.

This was supposed to be a special birthday dinner date that my husband meticulously planned for me,…read morebut it turned into the most horrendous dining experience I've ever had. We dined at Lira on November 14th. The Service (or Lack Thereof): The Menu Shortage: We arrived for our 6:45 PM reservation only to be told by the manager that they didn't have enough menus. We were told they'd bring them "later." Ignored for 35+ Minutes: We sat with nothing but water for over half an hour. To make matters worse, a table of six was seated after us and received their full entrees while we were completely ignored. The Drink Mess: After 40 minutes, the server told me they were out of ingredients for my drink. When I picked a second option, she tried to insist I wanted a drink with celery (my most despised vegetable). We thankfully stopped her before it was made, but the incompetence was staggering. The Food Fiasco: An hour into our reservation, someone dropped off a scallop dish. A while later, a server asked if I'd "received the scallops yet," and I realized the plate I was eating wasn't even intended for our table. We were so starving that my husband and I just shared them. Once we finished, the server finally asked my husband if he "still wanted his meal or if he wanted to cancel it." I finally lost my cool - of course he still wanted his dinner! The Aftermath: My husband didn't realize that my friends had actually made a separate reservation to take me back to this same spot the following night for a second birthday celebration. After this performance, there was no way I was going to step foot in this building again or give them another cent of our money. I texted my friends from the table to cancel those reservations and book elsewhere. With service this disorganized and insulting, this restaurant won't be in business long. Super disappointing. Don't waste your special occasions here. *Edit - it looks like Lira has closed. With the service we experienced, I am not surprised in the slightest. I am hopeful that whichever future business occupies this space is more successful.
