Blend Astoria

We had such a wonderful experience at Blend Astoria! The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every detail was thoughtfully done, creating the perfect setting for a special celebration. We’re so grateful for the amazing service and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and exceptional hospitality!

Went for an early dinner on Saturday. Didn't have a reservation. However, the hostess accommodate me. Had to wait about ten minutes. Small food menus. Food wasn't bad. Plenty of mixed drink options. Around $60 a plate. Which is modest for the area. 18% gratuity for parties of 4 and less. 20% for parties of 5 and more. It reminds me of a place you drop in to get so quick food before bar hopping. I prefer Blends on the water. I consider that location more date friendly.

It was a beautiful restaurant with wonderful food. Just wish there were more options for food but other than that amazing restaurant!

The portion size was incredibly small, especially considering the price. We ordered calamari for four people, and each of us received only three pieces. The “main” I got was a rice dish with steak on it again to small for the price.The food quality was average, nothing extraordinary. Wouldn’t go if I was hungry. The service was pretty good.

I really wanted to like this place so much more. My wife and I went here with no reservation but were seated very quickly. We sat for 20 min waiting for anyone to come by, we had no water and no menus. I had to go inside and ask for them. Finally someone comes out with them and we order with the waitress, who was very nice by the way. The food was very tasty but my order was wrong. I ordered the steak but the wrong sides came out. I told the runner and he came back with the right food… the steak was half the size of the first one that came out. Big disappointment. We sat for a while longer and I asked for the check, twice. One of the hostesses came out with it but said she doesn’t have the machine to do it so I had to go inside to pay… $123 for one app and two entrées and 2 diet cokes. So say rip off is an understatement. I felt extremely ignored and the service was subpar at best. To walk in and be ignored by three hostesses that have their backs turned to the door is just not a good way to handle business. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Salima B gave us outstanding service! We came for happy hour drinks & dinner & she was very attentive throughout every step of our dining experience. I was never waiting for anything & always had a delicious drink to sip on & food is delicious here. She even stayed a little longer for that extra round of drinks that I was craving. She was very gracious & went out of her way to keep us happy. We will be coming back for her service! Thank you Selima!

Mouthwatering perfection. Eveything on the menu is fabulous. Service is fabulous and the atmosphere is just right. One of my favorite spots in Astoria.

The staff were really respectful and attentive, 10/10 service! The restaurant is extremely beautiful inside and it was decorated nicely when I went back in the summer. Food was amazing and came out pretty quick, definitely would recommend the chicharrón de pollo skewers or the pollo a la plancha!

Blend Astoria was honestly a whole vibe. The atmosphere is fun and lively without feeling too crowded, and the service was amazing from start to finish attentive, friendly, and fast.<br><br>We ordered margaritas, calamari, tacos, steak & fries, and chicken with rice and beans, and everything came out fresh, hot, and flavorful. The margaritas were strong (in the best way) and paired perfectly with the food. The calamari was crispy, tacos were packed with flavor, and the chicken with rice and beans gave real comfort food energy.<br><br>They also have great deals like happy hour and bottomless options which makes it perfect for brunch, date night, or a girls night out. Definitely a spot I would come back to.

I’m a regular here because of Savannah; we originally met while I was dining here regularly with my coworkers. Our company hosted its first event yesterday at the Astoria location, and Savannah was a gracious, attentive, and exceptionally patient host throughout. She coordinated the booking, served as our primary server during the event, and acted as the point of contact for anything we needed. It’s immediately clear that she’s an integral part of the restaurant and a true asset to the entire organization.

Had dinner two weeks ago to celebrate a friend's birthday. The preset menu had good choices, and the food and service were good. However, the drinks were very expensive, and the tip was automatically included, which was a bit frustrating. That’s why I gave the restaurant three stars. 😕✨

Went there for the first time with my Ol'Lady on Saturday 11/22/25 @ 1:30pm order our food had a tea & coffee while waiting as food was brought to table looked good well cook and nice amount on plate but as we started eating my Ol'Lady took a bite of her food and there was a human hair mixed in her food call waitress notified and her response was do you want another plate brought it to the attention of the male waiter and walk he over to the bar notified another waitress and she picked up plate which we encountered another longer hair stuck to the bottom of plate no solution no apologies,we walked out never again 100% dissatisfied dissapointed. Here are the dishes the hair one was the French with the fruit.

After the Long Island City location failed to honor my reservation, Savannah, the manager, completely saved my event. She put together a prefix menu for 23 people the same day, just a few hours before my celebration.<br><br>We were given a private room, the food was delicious, and the menu was even personalized for us.<br><br>Thank you so much to Savannah and the entire staff for your outstanding service and attention. You truly turned a stressful situation into a wonderful experience.

Good food and nice atmosphere, but the overall service could improve.<br>The food at Blend Astoria was really good, and the place itself has a warm, family-friendly vibe. However, the service — from the moment we arrived at the entrance to the table experience — could use some improvement.<br><br>At first, we weren’t allowed to sit until our whole group was there, which is understandable, but once everyone arrived, the food still took quite a while to be served, even after waiting for two more guests. The staff wasn’t rude, but overall their attitude felt a bit too serious and not as welcoming as expected.<br><br>It was still a good experience overall — tasty food, pleasant ambiance, but the service could definitely be smoother and more attentive from start to finish.<br><br>⭐️ Food: 4/5<br>⭐️ Service: 3/5<br>⭐️ Ambiance: 4/5

I’ll start with the pros before the cons.. The food was definitely worth the 1 hour and 10 minute wait, big portion and great drinks! Beautiful presentation. However! I did not enjoy waiting over an hour for my appetizers. It was fairly busy for a Saturday early brunch however no excuse really, you should be prepared for a rush. They did please us with allowing us to order a dinner item during brunch, that was super nice. We were a walk in which was a bonus to be seated so quickly. But I didn’t appreciate our server dodging us as time progressed of us waiting, a simple “I’m sorry your food is taking longer than expected” would’ve sufficed for our frustration. We did get a round on the house to make up for it but I think our appetizer should’ve been comped as well but I’ll say I appreciated that too. I’m just disappointed in the wait time and lack of service. I’ll gladly apply here if you need the help..
