Our service was great at bar blitzen. The cocktails were really tasty but $16 a drink is expensive. The main hostess was not friendly at all but who took us to our table was very friendly. Our service in bar blitzen and our server was so wonderful and definitely made the experience so enjoyable. Loved all the decor, very festive.

Food arrived Luke warm and took 40 minutes to come out. Medium rare steak was very rare. Server was pleasant and apologized. Appetizers were good and arrived timely. Overall, for the price it was disappointing.

We were sat late at a small table vs one for six. Kitchen was out of a lot of stuff which happens but we weren’t told that they were out of fish and chips until we had been waiting for our food for 30 minutes. The food that we did get was good. The whole experience was strange .

Worst experience I have had in a long time. Six of us went for a holiday get together. All our meals took a really long time, ok it’s the holidays, it’s busy, but everything was cold. Two people had to wait 15 min after the first 4 of us were served. The manager was indifferent, saying it’s the holidays… The food that wasn’t cold was average at best and two main things on the menu were not available. We won’t be returning

It was our second year back at Bar Blitzen and love all of the decorations! Our only critique is we had a reservation at 4PM and they weren’t ready to open yet.. The reservations are limited but the place is rarely full from when we’ve been there. But very festive, great drinks and great vibes! We will be back next year to get in the Christmas Spirit.
