    My wife and I love the Blend chain. This was our first time visiting Blend Williamsburg, man were we happy we did. Despite working by herself, Juanita was an AMAZINGLY attentive and friendly host/server. Engaged in conversation and was quick to refill our bottomless brunch sangrias. Great salsa and merengue music, playing the classics. Beautiful set up of the dining area. A MUST!
