Blend LIC

If you a looking for a dining experience that includes attentive service and your food served hot, then definitely do not go to Blend. Although we were seated quickly, given our menus, and ordered, it took 20 minutes for the waitress to bring me my coffee. Our food sat on the counter for about 15 minutes before the waitress brought it to us. The cold food was subpar. The French toast was burnt and not served with maple syrup as the menu claimed but instead with log cabin syrup. The drink order took even longer to fill than the food. I could forgive the slow service if the restaurant was full but it was nearly empty.

Had drinks and a light dinner.

This is a great casual Latin-fusion cuisine eatery situated on bustling Vernon Blvd in Hunters Point. Reservations aren’t required and walk-ins are welcome. Came in at 8pm on a Saturday night and only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. Casual atmosphere with seating inside and outside in a covered area on the street. The food was reasonably priced and the food was pretty good. I had the tilapia, a side of chips and guac, and a Patronjito cocktail (very boozy). For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake, which was a bit underwhelming to be honest. The service was a bit on the slow side because there was only one waitress for the entire restaurant (for both inside and outside seating) on a Saturday night and she was stretched pretty thin. She had a great attitude and was very nice though. She even both single-handedly presented a birthday cake and sang a Happy Birthday song (in a bright-eyed, very chipper way) for the table next to us. All I know is: Whatever they’re paying her, it’s not enough. Overall, I enjoyed eating here and will definitely be coming back for more casual nights out in the neighborhood. I just hope that they hire another person to help out with serving on busy weekends.
