It is always an outstanding experience at The Blend. The menu is creative, not boring at all, and extremely diverse. The service is always outstanding. A BYOB so you can always have your favorite beverage. It is great for so many different occasions. Might be a bit pricey, but now a days what is not? Only suggestion, when you read the specials, offer the price as well. We have been there plenty of times, and we will be back again.

Loud and bright, the girl that was clearing tables was way too fast. We were barely putting our fork’s down and she was taking our dishes, waiter was very nice and did a good job. Food was good but my shrimp and Risotto was not hot, my husband’s pork chop was amazing . I appreciated very much that they have gluten free options. Does not have the high end atmosphere that it use to.

Our dining experience was exceptional. The servers were so friendly and accommodating and the entrees were huge - the pork chop was enough for 3 people and the shrimp risotto was, too. I recommend you go hungry! The ambience is always amazing. A win-win for downtown Manasquan!
