Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my dad and ended up having just as much fun chatting with the staff as we did eating and drinking! We sat at the bar, where Nate (the bar manager), Skyler, and Juanita absolutely crushed it. They were attentive, personable, hilarious, and somehow managed to all be ridiculously good-looking. Coincidence? I think not. When we realized we wanted to catch the last game of the NBA Finals outside, Juan, the evening manager, was more than happy to move us to the patio. That kind of flexibility and hospitality goes a long way. Great drinks, great vibes, and an even better team. They made us feel like regulars, even though it was my dad's first visit (my second visit). We'll definitely be back! read more

I came here for weekday dinner and had no wait. The pizza was surprisingly unique and very tasty, and definitely the standout of the meal. The diavola pasta had a great texture and a flavorful sauce, although it felt a little simple since there weren't many other ingredients mixed in. The crispy brussels sprouts weren't for me, not very crispy and a bit hard. The gelato was much better than I expected and ended up being a nice way to end the meal. The service was great though and the lighting inside nice! Overall, the meal was a bit hit-or-miss, but I'd come back to try more of the pizzas since those were definitely the highlight read more

We had such a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary dinner here. From the moment we walked in, Serene made us feel incredibly welcome. She was warm, friendly, and genuinely hospitable, setting the tone for a fantastic evening. The food was excellent and arrived surprisingly quickly, which we really appreciated. Throughout our meal, Serene checked on us regularly to make sure everything was perfect, and her pleasant demeanor made us feel truly valued as guests. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, but what really made the evening special was the exceptional service we received from Serene. Her kindness and attention to detail turned a great dinner into a memorable anniversary celebration. We can't wait to come back! read more

Came for a date night. No reservations so we had a wait a little bit but that was ok since thus was a spur of the moment choice. They did mention we could get a drink while we wait but we decided to wait till we sat down. Once seated I was very excited to check out the menu. I saw beets and knew we had to try them. I wanted a second helping, they were so good. I ordered the salmon. It was a little soft but still good. The mashed potatoes were good. My husband enjoyed his steak and old fashioned. Overall, I'd cone back. I was glad to see some kids there and my toddler would be OK with the spaghetti they have as a side. read more

Will miss the old Outback but this is a great addition to south San Jose! Def a place to go to for celebrations or a nice dinner. They have indoor and outdoor seating but I prefer indoor because the vibes are really nice and calm inside with the decor and open bar design. We ordered a TON of food and not one thing was bad. I especially loved the mushroom truffle pizza, chimichurri and ribeye steak. Sides were excellent too from the creamed spinach to the brussel sprouts. And you'd be surprised how many places can mess up French fries but B&B dis it perfectly. It was nice crispy and not too salty. And even if you're full to the max, get the chocolate chip cookies!!! They bake them fresh daily and you won't regret. Service was very attentive and informative. Only thing that threw us off was that for some reason all our food came out all at once, and we ordered a gooood amount. We barely had space to fit it on the table. Would have preferred appetizers then the entrees. Plenty of parking since it's located in a large plaza. read more

Came here on a Monday night just after opening so we got right in. Normal to wait 45-1 1/2 hr. Very nice ambiance and very friendly staff. Our server Serene made the perfect recommendations!

Tuesday night we decided to try Blossom and Bourbon for dinner for the first time. Overall, it was a really good experience. The customer service was great and the atmosphere was nice too, especially the outdoor lounge. I ordered the fish with a wedge salad, and my husband ordered the steak with french fries. The food was flavorful and everything tasted really good. The only downside was that by the time we got home, our stomachs weren't feeling great. Since it was the only thing my husband and I both ate, I'm guessing it may have been something there, but I can't say for sure. Still, the food itself was good, and it definitely wasn't enough to keep me from giving them another try. read more

It was a special occasion so I went to Blossom and Bourbon. I am leery of higher end restaurants, but B&B delivered in taste and portion size. You truly get your money's worth at this restaurant. I started with the chicken lollipops and those were excellent. Mac and Cheese was one of the best I have ever had. I would come back in just for that. The barbecue beef ribs came with THREE big ribs and the meat just fell off the bone. The service was great and the restaurant is beautiful. This spot is perfect for a date night. read more

I swear I heard he did a review for this place but maybe I forgot to. Lol this was our first time going to this restaurant in San Jose and I was rather surprised- there are too many fancy or sitdown restaurants that I've seen as of late - so this was a breath of fresh air! As we were seated, we were asked by one gentleman if we wanted flat or bubble water. My boyfriend asked if they had any bottled water and the server said "no." We got some bubbled water and then ordered two cocktails. Our server was a friendly person with some interesting tattoos. They had tats on their forearms and neck. I thought it was very modern that a restaurant allowed tattoos to be viable. I like it! After we got our drinks we noticed the table next to us had bottled water. Lol perhaps the gentleman didn't know they had bottled water?! We were starving so per usual, we ordered four different dishes and split everything! The Caesar salad and bisque soup were made perfectly! There was enough dressing on all of the Caesar salad and ample mountains of cheese! I truly love the jalapeño cornbread croutons as well what a great personal touch!! The lobster bisque soup was perfectly flavored and seasoned. It tasted as if it had been made overnight so all the flavors were really full embodied. I was also happy to find out there was no monosodium glutamate/MSG in the soup. Sometimes restaurants cut corners and add the MSG so they don't have to make the broth as fast. Lol so frustrating since I'm allergic! There were also huge chunks of lobster within the soup itself! My boyfriend has an obsession with deep-fried cauliflower wings. I forget what these ones were called, but they had a good Asian spiced barbecue flavor to them!! We both really like them!! And we took half of them to go so we could finish the rest of our salad. Lol. My scallops with the lemon orzo was so perfect. I'm never going to one or so any other way again!! I literally had to finish the whole dish because I know scallops will never taste the same the next day!! But the twist with the lemon orzo was simply amazing!! I love the plate of citrus, bring out the freshness of the scallops!! My boyfriend Marina pasta I forgot what the dish was called with the sauce had a lot of flavor! I wanna say it was a vodka marinara sauce and with fresh Parmesan cheese that was made out then so it had really good flavor to the pasta and since he had to help me finish the scallops, we took half of that home, and it tasted amazing in the air fryer the next day! Had the perfect crispiness to the edges with the cheese!! We also got two cocktails! The Cats Meow and Let Love Blossom. Our server said The Cat's Meow was sweet, so I was hesitant in ordering it since I don't want or like sweet drinks, more like well balanced. When the drink came and actually tasted perfectly balanced with the amount of lavender and citrus from the grapefruit and lemon. My boyfriend says the same thing since he doesn't like sweet tasting drinks either we are more include sour drinks or balanced one. This one didn't have a sour taste, but it did have a subtle zing aftertaste just refreshing. He ordered, let love blossom, and that had a really good flavor as well, but he liked the citrus after taste of mine so he ordered one of my drinks as well, the cats meow with our favorite overall! We realized afterwards we probably should've had ordered something heavier like a red sauce and not scallops so we could have a bourbon cocktail, but we'll have to come back and do that again next time!

This has been on my list to try for awhile so I brought my daughter and brother with me for dinner this week. Super cute place that gives "Los Altos B&G" vibes. Large patios with great lounge furniture and a huge fireplace. We sat there and enjoyed cocktails while waiting for our table to be ready. Once ready, the hostess showed us to our booth which was comfy and I had a view of the open kitchen. Our server was great! And the ambiance was dark and moody and super comfortable. Definitely a special occasion destination. Here's what we had: Lobster Rolls w/lobster bisque - this was a total hit for us. Three mini brioche buns stuffed with tender juicy lobster. Very good. The lobster bisque was also very tasty. Both my daughter and brother really liked it. 2 French Dip Sandwiches - these come with fries but I substituted mine for the Brussels. Sandwiches were good. Bread was soft and the meat was tender but not a ton of flavor. The horseradish sauce that came with it was good but pretty mild for my pallet. Au jus was light and delicate. Tasted more like a broth than a true au jus. Fries - thin and addicting. Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Brussels - really good. Cooked well just needed a squeeze of lemon. Skirt Steak - medium rare and seasoned perfectly. Definitely a favorite out of what we ordered. The chimichurri sauce was delicious. My daughter loved it. Mac-n-cheese - this was good but not outstanding. Very creamy and the noodles were cooked perfectly but the sauce wasn't anything special. Creamed Spinach - we got this because the reviews recommended it. Again, nothing wrong with it just wasn't very different than I've had before. Over all - good place to celebrate a special occasion as it's pretty pricy. Service and ambience are really great. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu and enjoy the outdoor patio. read more

Such a cute, high-end spot for the area, we really needed this! The wait was about an hour on a Friday (no reservations), but grabbing drinks and apps on the patio with fire pits made it super enjoyable. The truffle Parmesan fries were AMAZING, so good I forgot to take a picture! They were crispy with a strong truffle flavor. We shared the spicy honey pizza and Diavola pasta (seems like the popular picks). The pasta was delicious and perfectly al dente. The pizza had a fluffy, wood-fired crust, but a bit too much honey for me, it was pretty drenched. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding and cookies & milk. The bread pudding was slightly overcooked but still flavorful. The standout was definitely the cookies & milk, chewy cookies with a yummy milkshake. Such a fun concept! Great prices, good portions, and perfect for a date night. Would definitely return. read more

Wait time was 40 minutes for a table but luckily we were able to take spots at the bar immediately and it was perfect! We had a couple of bartenders/servers and the were very attentive. Food and drinks were overall spectacular! Chicken Lollipops 5/5: very big portion, sweet marinade and the orange cream sauce was the perfect addition! Steak Tacos 4/5: juicy and refreshing taste - only note was that we would've liked guacamole on it but since we had the trio dip we just added it ourselves. Trio chip dip 3.5/5: guac was really good and loved the corn dip as well. The cheese one was also good and cold, felt like a side salad. Great as a starter for a big group. Maine Lobster Rolls 3/5: Lobster roll was good but was missing a wow factor. The bread was soft and crispy in outside but I wish the bread was more warm and lemon was provided. The bisque shots were a great addition since I was also eyeing it on the menu. Unfortunately, the soup temperature was lukewarm. Drinks Blossom and Blood 4/5: Solid drink, good flavor and refreshing. Not super strong though. Comes in tall glass. The Passion Project 5/5: Great fruity flavor and strong but still tasty! Come in martini glass. We good happily come again to try more times on the menu, especially the desert menu! read more

I tried coming by 3 separate time in the past. They often have long hour+ wait times if you come on the weekend during their busier hours. On my 4th attempt, I decided to have an early dinner which we made it in before the dinner rush. We ordered their some of their appetizer, a wood fire pizza, and 2 prime ribs. Everything kind of just came at once so be prepared to be rushed to eat things quickly if you want to eat it while its hot and fresh. I personally would have wished it were paced out a bit better so that our table could converse a bit more naturally and snack while at it. The food was all pretty good. We got the broccolini and it was a bit tender. If you have elderly folks at the table or folks with a bit more sensitive teeth, this may not be the right item on the menu. The pizza was pretty good but the bottom was a a bit charred. Overall, the atmosphere was more on the dark, moody, romantic vibes. I think it would have hit this if it weren't for it being a bit too noisy with the staff running around and music blasted. read more

First, the food. Burrata and white chocolate bread pudding is on my always must-order whenever I'm here. Lamb Chops are close second delicious choice. The pan-seared scallops paired amazing with the lemon orzo (similar to risotto). Looking for a sweet drink, blossom & blood is a tasty option. Looking for something stronger, their version of old fashioned was delectable. Service was amazing. We were not pressured or rushed despite it being close to closing time , and the server was always friendly and kind from start to finish and went above and beyond. Thank you to him for that. Only deducted the star because the food taste did vary a bit during my various times eating here. Wasn't bad. Just a bit different. read more

Food: 1. Started with an espresso martini because I had a day and I am glad I did. It was just what I needed! Husband had a beer, can't remember what it was. 2. Started with the lobster sliders and lobster bisque shooters. Even if these are all you come for, they are a must! The sliders were hearty and that bisque was creamy and so flavorful! 3. My husband and I decided we were going to split our entree and sides. We wanted to try a number of slides and new we could not let our eye be bigger than our appetites. So we went with the rib-eye, glad we did. That thing was cooked to perfect and melted in your mouth. The waitress even split it onto two plates. 4. Our sides were: mac n cheese which was ooey and gooey. The creamed corn very delicious. The brussell sprouts which is always my pick and I'm glad I did. It's got a cream sauce and topped with pistachios. Fries, which were cooked crisp and were not oily. Service: Quick and gracious. She made sure that our water glasses were always full and we were never in need of anything but wasn't overbearing. Although we were seated over by the bar it didn't feel like it. The booths by the bar are still pretty intimate. The lighting in the place is comfortable. The air about the place is elegant. I enjoyed the place and don't know what took me so long. I still think about that rib eye and will be back! read more

This is my 2 time writing a review. I arrived a little before 6 and was seated right away no waiting at all. The interior felt pretty much the same as my last visit: still cozy and warm. I noticed there were plenty of staff, including someone in what looked like a white chef's jacket I'm assuming he was the head chef overseeing everything. The team was well organized and very friendly. I ordered the spaghetti, chicken lollipop, and salmon. The salmon, was absolutely delicious. I haven't had salmon that good in a long time. The mashed potatoes and broccoli paired perfectly with it. The spaghetti was good, though a bit salty for my taste (but I generally prefer less salt). The chicken lollipop was just okay. Overall, it was another great experience for me. Well done, Blossom & Bourbon! read more

This place was such an enjoyable dining experience, I loved everything about the atmosphere and the food. I liked how the lighting was dimmer and warm-toned. I felt like the place was busy the night that I went but it was still easy to have a conversation and clearly hear the person next to me. Definitely a great restaurant to have a date at! For the food, I liked how every dish was plated so elegantly on top of being delicious, the details were immaculate. Everything was super flavorful and yummy, 10/10 would recommend! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary because we've seen it's a very nice and delicious restaurant, and it really lived up to the hype. The service was very fast from the host to server and the runners. The food was delicious, and we definitely want to come back to try some other intriguing items ơn the menu. The chips trio appetizer had such delicious dips; the guacamole was so fresh, the queso dip was surprisingly very delicious to me, despite me not being a big queso person, and the corn salsa was great. My pasta was so tasty, and the sausage pizza had so much protein, more than you think you would get. The tiramisu dessert cocktail we got to share was also really good (that was straight alcohol). Not to mention, the restaurant just felt very romantic and elegant. This was a perfect place for a date night or a special occasion. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Blossom & Bourbon - chips and guac, diavola pasta, sausage pizza - American Near Me - San Jose, California

Went to Blossom & bourbon for the first time last night and usually you cannot get reservations. But since we had more than six in the party we were able to. We were seated outside however and our table had water dripping from the awning that covered the patio which meant we had to leave a seat open in the middle of our seating which separated the table. No concessions or apologies from management which I thought was a little unprofessional given the caliber of the restaurant. We didn't let it ruin our meal. We ordered a few appetizers, which were very good including the chicken lollipops and the cauliflower which reminded me of Panda Express' orange chicken but with cauliflower. We also had the burrata, which was served in a very unique way; almost a Gazpacho, a cold, fresh marinara sauce around the burrata cheese with toasted bread on the side. All of it was very good. highly recommend those apps. As far our main courses, three of us ordered the barbecued ribs which came with three ribs, a cube of cornbread, and some slaw. The meat was very tender. The barbecue sauce was tangy and tasty. A little over sauced for my liking, but overall very good. We also ordered the truffle fries, which were good, especially if you like it on the crispy side, they are shoestring style. Others ordered the branzino fish which was served whole and a good generous portion and very moist, pan fried with a batter like crust. Chicken enchiladas were also ordered and those were also good and well portioned. Not too creamy and with very tender meat. Lastly, someone ordered the filet and it was prepared perfectly and tender with a nice smokiness on the outside. We also ordered dessert. We recommend the gelato and the cookies surprisingly. The cookies came with a mug full of some sort of white concoction that reminded me of whipped cream crossed with milk and heavy cream topped with shaved chocolate and dipping your cookies in that is delectable. If you order both desserts, dip your cookies into the chocolate gelato or the vanilla gelato and it tastes just as yummy as one would expect! Overall, barring the drippy wet seating location, blossom & bourbon delivered on the food and service. Would gladly come again,hopefully with a table that doesn't have a wet seat. read more

Came here for dinner last night and I can't believe I had no idea San Jose had a restaurant like this outside of the Santana Row area. It's a nice restaurant without being too stuffy. There was a decent amount of people for a Wednesday night. We were seated right away and we got our order in pretty quick. For drinks we got the ginger mocktail and the espresso martini. Both were very good and refreshing. For appetizer we got the Maine lobster bisque rolls. So good! For our main dish, we shared the spicy honey pizza. Their pizzas are made in a firewood oven. It was very good, our only complaint was that we asked it be left in for a couple extra minutes so we get that nice crispy crust, but it didn't seem like it was left in for any extra time. Beautiful set up inside as well as outside. Apparently they get busy on the weekends so keep that in mind if you decide to give it a try (you should!) read more

Overall, this place was really good and I'd definitely come back. The atmosphere is great -- super classy, cozy, and just a really nice place to hang out for a while. It feels a little elevated without being stuffy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The patio has fireplaces and heaters, so you don't have to worry about freezing if you sit outside. Food-wise, everything was good! The cauliflower bites were INSANELY good (which is wild because I don't even like cauliflower ). Those are a must-order. The lobster rolls were the only thing that kind of disappointed me -- not bad, just didn't live up to the hype for me. Service was a little slow, so just plan on it being more of a relaxed, take-your-time meal rather than a quick stop. Overall, solid 4/5. I'd definitely come back and try other things on the menu next time. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night and it was pretty busy. Got seated quickly and it was nice inside and out. Service was great and knowledgeable about the menu. Started with the wedge salad which was delicious. They give you thick bacon almost like pork belly on it. Then we got steak and the sea bass for the main. The sea bass was so tasty with the seasoning and sauce on it. The steak was cooked perfectly and delicious too. The meat was pretty rough though even though it was medium rare. Got truffle fries for the side and they were perfect. It would've been five stars but the lack of any tenderness in the steak held me back. We will definitely come again cause the ribs an are reportedly fantastic and I gotta try a pizza here. read more

I have wanted to try this place for quite some time and we were finally able to go this past Saturday. A friend of mine had told me that they had the best French dip anywhere. I must say, he was NOT kidding. The best French dip, ever. From the meat to the bread to the au jus. Not to mention the massive plate of piping hot fries that came with it. Did I mention the fried cauliflower nuggets? Unreal! (If I could order a side of rice, with some soy sauce, would be a complete meal). My honey had the ora king salmon. She loved it. We will be back to try the other items!! read more

Wow major kudos to the owners to Blossom & Bourbon for opening a stylish eatery in South SJ! I loved how intimate the restaurant felt inside while still maintaining a classy ambiance. While checking in, the host was slightly questionable... I expected more of a greeting without annoyance but anywho I was determined to enjoy my dinner. Our waiter was respectful and courteous while another staff member was awesome with keeping our drinks filled all night! I can't recall exactly which cocktail I got, however it was well balanced and refreshing. There were so many sides and appetizers we wanted to try and I was definitely impressed with all of them, especially their fried cauliflower nuggets which had an Asian fusion flavor. Also, the croutons for the caesar salad were huge and had a softer texture which was surprisingly delicious too. Pretty cool touch that the executive chef came to check on us during our meal as well! The ribeye was cooked to perfection and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Look no further than here for a cute date night! read more

Walked in here on a Wednesday evening around 7 pm, the wait time was 26 mins that isn't too bad. As soon as you walk into the restaurant the ambience is lush and sophisticated. The interior is nicely decorated with a large bar in the middle, multiple fire pits outside for seating or waiting, and round booths for more intimate settings. They were quite busy when we went but it didn't feel too loud or chaotic so you can still have a conversation. The menu is only one page, very few entrees but there is something for every dietary needs. This is a traditional American restaurant serving upscale dishes with very few flares. I ordered the French Dip sandwich that came with a very generous portion of french fries. My friends ordered the BBQ beef ribs and subbed the coleslaw for the spaghetti pomodoro, and chicken lollipop's. For the price the food portion is enough to leave you full. The French Dip isn't as seasoned as I'd like it to be however the cut of beef that they use is very tender and juicy. Service here was slow but the servers were very nice and were very accommodating ready to answer questions about the menu. Overall the vibe of the restaurant is mellow, modern and classy. I think the food could be better especially for the prices that you're paying. I'd recommend coming here for a quick drink and apps situation but not for a full meal. read more

We came here for Mother's Day and wanted to avoid the crowd so went a little later in the evening. The host and staff were very welcoming. Our server was very helpful and checked up on us if we needed anything throughout our meal. The seating was very spacious and a good amount of walk space between tables. We were seated at the booth which had a lot of table space for all the food we ordered. The lighting was perfect to set the perfect relaxing mood to enjoy our drinks and food. Since it was a special occasion, we decided to order some drinks especially at a place like this where they are known to carry good bourbon and whiskey. My wife ordered the manhattan and I ordered the smoke and mirror. The smoke and mirror was really good. It has the right amount of smokiness paired with a sweet tangy flavor. My wife said the manhattan was strong so she had to slowly sip it. The server also brought her a complimentary champagne and a stemmed rose for Mother's day. I thought that was a very nice gesture they did for all the mothers who were dining that night. After I finished my drink, I decided to order another drink but wanted to try something different so I ordered the oaxaca old fashion. This was definitely different than the smoke and mirror. It was more smokey. I liked this as well but it had a strong taste compared to the regular old fashion. I had to sip it and stir the ice to let it melt a little. The flavor came out as the ice melted and watered the alcohol. We definitely enjoyed our drinks. For food, we started off with the lobster bisque, hamachi crudo, and lobster rolls. The lobster bisque was good and I think adding a pinch of black pepper would give it more flavor. The hamachi crudo really impressed us. My boys and I really liked it. My boys liked it so much that they ate all of it before i even took a bite of my piece. It has a good texture and the sauce was not overpowering. My boys ordered the lobster rolls as their meal which came with 3 rolls but we added an extra roll so the boys can each have 2. They devoured those rolls and asked for another order which they got. They liked that it came with 2 small lobster bisque shots that they used to dip their rolls in. My wife ordered the seared scallops and mashed potatoes on the side. The scallops were cooked perfectly and were soft and tender. It was very flavorful. The mash potato was soft but nothing really special. I decided to pour the lobster bisque from the lobster over the mash potato and it gave the flavor that was missing. I wish I asked for black pepper to add it in the lobster bisque to fully enhance the flavor with the mashed potato. I ordered the skirt steak and requested it medium rare and added a side of truffle fries and mac and cheese. The steak was cooked correctly and had a lot of flavor. It was very tender and juicy. I decided to dip the steak into the lobster bisque and it just put the flavor to a whole new level. The balance of flavor just made it so much better. The fries were nice and crisp. It came with ranch on the side. I dipped the fried in the lobster bisque but it didn't go well. The flavor was a little off with that combination but still not bad. My son liked the mac and cheese. He finished the mac and cheese. For dessert, we opted for the white chocolate bread pudding since many yelpers were ordering it. I have to say, it was a hit. Highly recommend getting this after your meal. The bread pudding was soft in the middle while the crust was a crispy. The white chocolate and raspberry jam gave it a sweet tangy taste. Overall, our experience was really good. Everything we ordered was good. It can be pricey especially when you order alcoholic beverages. They have a good selection of drinks and I would definitely come back to sip some bourbon and whiskey as well as some of their mix drinks. Instead of ordering entrees for each person, I would order some and share like tapas so I can enjoy more drinks. I recommend trying this place out especially for the skirt steak and bread pudding. The scallops is a good dish to share also. read more

Had a lovely girls night at the amazing and beautiful blossom in bourbon! Tons of parking is always a bonus in my book. I walked in late Thursday evening and immediately was drawn to their outdoor patio seating around a gorgeous fireplace. Definitely coming back for drinks and appetizers. We have the best girl dinner with a couple of appetizers and super hearty salads. A wedge salad which they offered to slice up for us and an amazing Caesar. The service was amazing. Servers were all very attentive and knowledgeable. Give this place a try. read more

Bookmarked this restaurant for awhile and wanted to try for dinner. It's located in a shopping center with plenty of parking which is a plus. We were a party of 4 so they don't take reservations for less than 6 people. Arrived at 6pm so I was able to get seated right away. The decor is somewhat retro and liked that they had a bar in the center of the restaurant. I ordered a Blossom and Bourbon and it was tasty. The aesthetic of the drinks are pretty. I ordered the Spicy honey pizza, however the bottom of the plate was soggy. Not sure what it was from, but it made the pizza a bit messy. The truffle fries were good and would recommend. Server was friendly and came back a couple of times to check on us. The friendliness of the other employees were okay. It wasn't bad but didn't really encounter anyone smiling or when I asked for assistance, they didn't wanted to be bothered. Overall, my experience was decent, but not great. The best thing was the fries. read more

This place was packed and the wait was over 2 hours long (we didn't know you can join online ahead of time), but it was so worth the wait! Plentiful parking, elegant atmosphere, and unbelievable food. We started off with cocktails and the lobster rolls, which come with shots of the bisque and made it so flavorful. Would highly recommend for seafood lovers. For our main, we decided to share the prime rib eye, which they graciously cut into two pieces for us to be able to do so. There's a heavy rosemary taste but it was so tender for a medium well steak. It also comes with a head of roasted garlic and is topped with butter that adds so much extra flavor. The sides stole the show though. Each side is definitely big enough to share, so if you're coming with a party, make sure everyone gets a different side so everyone gets to try more things. Each side honestly could feed 3-4 people. For the sides: Mac and cheese - just the right amount of cheesy and baked to perfection Creamed corn - our absolute favorite! It has pieces of bacon in it and went so well with the steak Truffle fries - so fresh and the taste of the truffle oil is so rich but the best part is they are not shy with the cheese on top too Spaghetti pomodoro - very plain and nothing special; probably a really good option for a kid's main dish read more

I could swear I had already written my praises about this wonderful place! I try to visit restaurants at least three times before I make up my mind and I have surpassed that amount of visits since 2024! We are a short drive away and had been looking forward to this place opening for months! We've lived in the neighborhood for a long time and remember the days of the previous establishment. And my, oh my, Blossom & Bourbon was and is a welcomed new restaurant to this side of San Jose! The vibe is beautiful! With indoor faux trees, shades of warm blues and wood along with a bar at its center providing a welcoming and very lux vibe. The restaurant has booth, table, and bar seating along with outdoor seating. The outdoor seating has two sides; Both sides provide outdoor hwating and fireplaces- one side is for dining purposes (making it dog friendly) and one for guests waiting for their table (the restaurant doesn't take reservations AND we don't mind at all) We've tried almost every item on the menu and stay true to our favorites; lobster bisque, the beets, lobster rolls, prime rib, the french dip, skirt steak with one of my favorote chimichurri sauces, their corn dish and of course their beverages! My husband partakes on more of their bourbon and I tend to stick to wine; love their rosé and if we're feeling extra, we'll order a bottle of their Caymus-Suisun The Walking Fool! The service is impeccable! And having become regulars at a restaurant less than 10mins away is one of my favorite parts about this place! read more

Vibe:4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4.4/5 Drinks: 5/5 Value: 5/5 This review is long overdue. The hubby and I have fallen in love with this place and go at least once a month. We love sitting at the bar. Nate and his crew consistently deliver outstanding service and yummy cocktails. Plus, you get to mingle with other patrons, which is always fun. When it comes to food, you seriously cannot go wrong. If I had to make some recommendations, I would do the dip trio and chips (their chips and cheese dip are seriously addictive), cauliflower nuggets (chilli-garlic vegetarian pieces of yumminess), or goat cheese fritters (salt and honey for the win) for appetizers; every single one of their salads is superb, but we love their house with the corn and the garbanzos; for entrees we love the chicken enchiladas, bone-in veal chop (says it's for 2, but really enough for 4 people), grilled branzino (if you want quality but want something on the lighter side), rib eye or lamb chops if you're looking for some high protein, grilled goodness. If you're lucky to show up on a Sunday you MUST get the prime rib. It's devine. They don't take reservations, but if you show up before 5 pm, you'll get a seat right away, without a problem. It's great for a casual night out or for a date. Either way, you'll have fun and walk out happy and tipsy if you do it right. read more

I've enjoyed my visits here since their soft opening. The food quality is so much better now. Imgredients are fresh, and the food is delicious. Service is great as always, and so are their drinks. The vibe is always fun. I usually go for dinner, and there's normally a constant flow of patrons. So far, my favorites are the lobster bisque, lobster rolls, cheeseburger, truffle fries, and salmon tartare. The spicy honey pizza is on the list too. There are more items I want to try, so I'll be coming back. read more

went here to celebrate a late gal-entines day. i've been wanting to try this place out for the longest time since i saw it being built? i always pass it by every-time i come to get fish n chips! so im glad we decided to come here for the date. there were a lot of dishes to try out here. from vegetarian options to full on meat lovers galore and of course sea food options as well. i would love to try out their burata next time i come. the food was delicious and the portion size looked like you can share it too. we ended up ordering a pasta dish, a truffle pizza (delicious of course) and a beet dish (appetizer). we loved it all and we took home leftovers! would i come again? yes! i'd like to try out some other dishes and also maybe some of their drinks too! read more

Great vibes! The lobster roll is a must-try. The Brussels sprouts were okay, but the pistachio didn't stand out as much as the crushed peanuts used at other spots. One small note: the steak was a bit too salty for our taste. Overall, it's a nice place with great service. I'll definitely be visiting again! read more

I came here for a date night and I had a great time. The food was really good. The scallops were a little heavy on the lemon flavor but still good. Our server was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is beautiful. I was actually surprised by its location. It should be on Santana row. read more
