Six of us ate at Blossom and had grand expectations before we entered. None of us had dined there before, but it was recommended to us. The service was fine, prices were high, food was so mediocre that aside from stellar dessert menu, the six of us, without exception all said it was okay, but not worth the price. Perhaps we caught the kitchen on a bad night, but for the money, you have many other places to choose from that will meet or exceed expectations when dining at a fine restaurant. Blossom owner also owns Cypress and Magnolia's (both right next door). I would completely skip Blossom if you can get into Magnolia's or Cypress.

We had dinner at Blossom to celebrate our 8th anniversary. Unfortunately, it was too cold to sit outside otherwise we would have, as it looked very intimate/quaint/romantic on their little side patio area. The service at the bar was great - our bartender suggested items and even had us sample some wine. She was also extremely friendly - always a plus. Once we were seated in the dining room, service slowed considerably. It was quite loud inside - we could barely hear each other speak. Our server was extremely nice and made great suggestions but disappeared for long periods of time. The main course took quite a bit longer than expected to arrive but it was very tasty. We're big on presentation and weren't impressed at all on that front. Our food was good but whoever prepared the shrimp didn't do a good job of removing all of the outer shell. There just is no delicate way of removing shrimp shell once it's in your mouth! The dessert was very good, though - and unique, which we appreciated! We were very disappointed by the menu selections, though - not really enough of a variety of items. There were 8-10 items on the main course menu and nothing that really jumped out at you... The dessert menu actually had more variety than the main courses. This is not a great romantic spot for dinner (at least not in the main dining room) though I'd be willing to check it out again for lunch and see what that's like. All in all, it was 'ok' but as a whole we were a bit disappointed, being that it was a special occasion... The food, ambiance, service and noise level are all MUCH better at High Cotton...

My husband and I eat at Blossom every opportunity we get! Blossom offers free parking, a fun atmosphere and really good food. Make sure you try the crab cakes, they will melt in your mouth!
