Blend Pvd - Providence

I thoroughly enjoyed nearly all the dishes I tried, especially the dessert. My waitress was very helpful in providing recommendations since many of the menu items were new to me, which I appreciated. However, Dazzle is unfortunately located in a terrible spot with very limited parking options. Even on a Sunday evening, finding free street parking was impossible, so we ended up paying $15 to park and had to navigate over snow and ice to get there. To access the main dining room, customers must walk through a bar area that is quite off-putting. The atmosphere of the restaurant feels unusual and seems to lack the ambiance you'd expect given the prices and quality of the food. I arrived dressed for dinner but quickly realized that a hoodie would have been more suitable. Sadly, the dining experience doesn't outweigh the issues with the location and atmosphere, so I do not plan to return to Dazzle.

This restaurant serves large portions, but some of the meats were overcooked and the small portions were disappointing. They also automatically add a gratuity without informing customers. Additionally, we noticed staff smoking hookah excessively in the dining area, which is not appropriate, especially with children present.

The prices are a bit on the high side, but the food is well-prepared. However, I found it surprising and quite frustrating that an automatic gratuity was added to our bill, even though we were not a group of six or more. This resulted in the server receiving less than our usual 20% tip.

Food wasn’t that good, it was cold and stale. Very disappointed

Amazing time and our waitress was extremely considerate and helpful!
