OverallI had a good experience at Blend. They are very organize and the staff is attentive. They do emphasize the 90min seating rule since that was one of the first things our waitress told us when we ordered our food. The food itself was ok. Didn't appreciate the small portions though, the taste was good ..Not great. At least the plater I had which was the crispy chicken with avocado salad. My husband had the pernil which tasted soo good! And For starters , The PIONONOS is a must!!
