Incredible, creative, upscale dining

SO DELICIOUS! Really wonderful to have an upscale and creative vegan place in the city. We had the aguacate (a favorite), Buffalo cauliflower, tamal coloradito (my favorite and sooo delicious), cashew di pepe, shroom&chorizo flatbread, and Chinese eggplant (also really loved this)— and they were all top-notch and things I would order again. We also got the beet dumplings which weren’t my favorite since they were a little sweet, but other folks really liked them. I went with my family who aren’t vegan or vegetarian and everyone was really impressed. LOVE this place. (It’s currently BYOB just FYI!)

Pros: Entirely vegan, Unique, creative dishes, Beautiful restaurant, good for special occasions

Cons: Pricey, but worth the money!

Some dishes great, others alright

Tons of raw dishes and even some of the dishes not marked as raw were still pretty raw and cold. Cheese plate was alright, maybe one or two good cheeses on it. The radish tart was bizarre — not marked as raw but could have been. My friend loved the Baja taco. The chorizo flatbread was too spicy for me. The heirloom tomato flatbread was alright, but missing some flavor — not super impressed. The flan was really impressive.

Upscale and worth it- both food and service!

This place has a taste that is unique. Though the portions may be small, the flavor is vibrant. They have a variety of dishes and my group and I shared many different items. My favorites were particularly the Cauliflower appetizer (the best vegan style buffalo cauliflower I've had so far), the Eggplant main course, & the Avocado/Key Lime ice cream (phenomenal). All the food was yummy- like the Papaya salad and the Flan (made with coconut). The Flatbread was interesting, almost like a pizza. You can't go wrong with ordering probably any item on the menu- but I want to point out the good quality of the food and how they combine the ingredients. I could taste the difference in the type of food they were using. They cater to so many types of diets- gluten free, raw, almost nut free within the plant based menu.

What topped off our experience was the Incredible SERVICE. The entire team was awesome ESPECIALLY OUR SERVER ALEX T. He explained everything clearly, went out of his way (above & beyond) to make sure all of our group's needs were met, made sure we were taken care of throughout (very sweet & kind too), and even gave a birthday surprise. I hope management/corp at Bloom can recognize Alex T. for his hospitality & acknowledge his efforts in some way.

I also would like to recognize Manager Josh - who also would check in with customers throughout the restaurant and engage with everyone- I do not come across that often!

Receptionist Jordan (I believe) also was kind enough to call us back to let us know a reservation was available. Initially when we called to book they were full but once a cancellation had occurred she actually called us back to let us know a space was available.

I hope management at Bloom can recognize everyone for their great attitude and service. It makes customers want to return even more.

Overall, simply great place to check out. The chef's menu, the ambience, the service (it may have a bougie vibe, but not bougie service in our experience- really nice), and of course the food. Worth checking out.
I love supporting vegan places!

Pros: Unique food with great quality, Excellent Staff / Service, Nice Vibe

Cons: Portions could be bigger

Amazing upscale vegan food!

So happy to find vegan food that is more fruit and veggie forward. Most chicago vegan restaurants are comfort food with imitation meat and this place brings something more upscale and veggie oriented. We've already been here twice and all the menu items are great. The cheese board is amazing and my favorite dessert is the coffee break chocolate mousse. Highly highly recommend.

Pros: Creative dishes, Veggie forward, Gluten free and raw

Cons: Pricey

Delicious!

So good! Great to pick up if you want to eat something at home that feels like a real restaurant meal rather than takeout. Love the beyond burger and hand pulled noodles. And the cookies! Always excited about outstanding chocolate chip cookies.
