I've been a few times already and fully endorse the salad nicoise, root vegetable bowl with salmon, delicious salsa verde, and Cobb salad.

Hope, Delicious Food, and Second Chances
My experience at The Blooming Bistro was truly a place filled with hope. I witnessed young adults graduate the program and be placed into long-term employment. They receive training in various skills and are then connected to incredible jobs.
The manager and owner are consistently kind and caring towards the youth. The food is so delish! I tried almost everything and was pleasantly surprised to say that I lovee the salads, especially the Mediterranean salad.
Sam, who was instrumental in bringing The Blooming Bistro to life, has my heart. She poured her heart, sweat, and tears into this establishment to improve the lives of young adults and other adults seeking a second chance, offering hope to those who believed they wouldn't get one.

Comical Behind the Scenes, Average Food
My experience at this restaurant was truly comical behind the scenes, despite the food being average at best. It's a shame because if they had more belief in what they were selling, it might have had a chance. The atmosphere and service were rated low, and the price was high, making the overall experience disappointing.

Hidden Gem with Exceptional Food and Purpose
Recently visited Las Vegas with a couple of friends and The Blooming Bistro was suggested to us for lunch. A little bit hidden but what a gem! The space is comfortable and cute.
There were a few others dining when we walked in. The young staff that greeted and waited on us were great . Friendly, professional, attentive.
The FOOD! And PRICES! I dine out quite a bit in the northeast where I live and the prices at The Blooming Bistro, given the fantastic quality and quantity of the food, are extremely affordable.
My starter was the roasted tomato basil soup and it was absolutely delicious. I had a "Bountiful Bowl" (I think it was The Scotch Bowl) for my main lunch dish. It was hearty and heaping with various vegetables and served with tasty jasmine rice.
I also added the "wild caught salmon" (only $9. 00) to my bowl and my lunch bowl was outstanding, just delicious. When we were finishing up lunch the owner visited our table to check in on us.
I think her name was Samantha. She shared with us the essence/mission of The Blooming Bistro, of which we were not aware. We simply wanted to find a GREAT lunch .
And we did. She shared with us - with great enthusiasm and passion - that the youth/young adults working at Blooming Bistro are all learning work habits, culinary, social, and other professional and personal skills, as they come from difficult backgrounds or foster care, and are working toward careers in the culinary or hospitality industries thanks to all the training they receive at Blooming Bistro. WOW!
As someone that spent the final 31 years of my career working in the non-profit sector, I was inspired and moved by the "greater purpose" of The Blooming Bistro . And add to that, that the food is exceptional! Highly recommend.
Thanks. Peter C. , New Jersey
