“Wow, some dishes just brought me back to my childhood like the turnipcausa, just delicious. All our drinks were unique in a vintage kind of way! Jaesen killed it with all the cocktails & Vincente was the Perfect Host. Definitely will be coming back 10/10”
“I came for first time today and it was such a great experience, the drinks were so good and the steak was amazing 🤩 🥩”
“Absolute dominance from a restaurant that is less than a month old. You thought you've had it all, that Chicago couldn't possibly have yet ANOTHER banger in Wicker Park, but i'll be damned, here we are. The cracklin' shrimp is so well done, I would eat a bowl of it. Lemony, spicy, deep fried deliciousness. The half chicken was among the best I've ever had (whatever that green sauce was, was KILLING IT) not to mention my wife's elote lasagna?!?! I can't wait to go back. THE MANAGER EVEN SMELLED GREAT. Victory!”
“Great atmosphere, delicious food beet salad it’s a must try, good service, definitely I’ll go back again!!!”
“Food was top notch. A perfect date friendly spot! ***Chocolate Hazelnut dessert was delicious***”
“Lovely tasting menu - felt like fine dining! Unique flavors and nice presentation. The bartender was really kind! Will try to visit again before they close :(”
“Review from an omnivore… the food is great! The turnip causas were packed with flavor, crunch, and umami. The bean burger is cooked to perfection and well-spiced while the fries were not overly greasy. Excellent service from the hostess and the waiter. A bit pricey for the portion you get. Looking forward to coming for dinner sometime.”
“Every single dish was beautifully presented — truly top-notch. The flavors surprised us in the best possible way, with so much creativity and balance in each bite. Such a special experience!”
“This restaurant is wonderful and delicious - coming from a meat/animal based food lover. Bloom executes the balance of flavors and texture with precision. It's thoroughly impressive how their ingenuity goes beyond "meat copy cats" to getting at the building blocks of what makes food good. Best example of this is the La Causa. It's not meant to be a fish substitute, but a creative take on sushi that uses acid, fat, creamy, crispy, flakey, soft, warm, cool, etc. It's outstanding! Also the nicoise salad was legit one of the best salads I've ever had. Our server Sami was delightful! This is my second time visiting and highly recommend.”
“Exquisite vegan food! The chef is clearly talented. I have traveled all over the country & have tried many vegan places, this is the best of the best. The turnip causa with caviar and the Besitos de Yuca is a flavor explosion, you can't really get anything like it anywhere. The cheese plate is also a staple. Ube Panna Cotta is probably my favorite dessert anywhere, it's just light & heavenly. I hear they sadly will have to do a rebrand next month and incorporate non vegan food. Very sad as they do vegan so well. I wish there were a larger vegan population because Chicago vegan places are taking a big hit this last month. But even if you are not a vegan, you would enjoy it here.”
“We had the most lovely dinner at Bloom! Our server Kendall was an expert on all the menu items. We got their taco Tuesday special, the oyster mushroom tacos were soooo delicious. I also enjoyed the bloom garden cocktail - floral, light, and sweet! We finished our meal with the pavlova and ube panna cotta! Incredible that everything was vegan, we were so impressed. Not to mention they’re growing their herbs in house!!! So amazing. Already planning a trip back.”
“What an amazing dining experience! The global-inspired flavors were so creative and surprisingly bold for a plant-based restaurant. Every bite tasted fresh and carefully crafted. The atmosphere was cozy and uplifting. I’ll definitely be back soon to explore the rest of the menu!”
