Blend LIC - Latin American restaurant in Queens - 47-04 Vernon Blvd, USA

**Giving this 3 stars, might change if I ever come back. ** I have came here with my sister and mother to celebrate my graduation. We had a reservation at 6:45pm and they seated us right away even though arrived a couple minutes early. 10-15 minutes pass and a couple walks in and they get seated next to us. 5 minutes later the waitress attends them even though we sat before the couple. And it was like that the whole night. She never came and checked if we needed any or, to ask if the food was done to our liking. She attended all other tables and ignored us. The food was 1000%% delicious. It’s just a shame that the waitress sucked. If it weren’t for the tip being included I would’ve left $5. Food: 10/10 Ambiance: 8.5/10 Waitress: 2/10

Great service, great food, great portions, and good prices. Ordered the Arroz Con Pollo and it was highly flavorful. Others at my table ordered Pernil and a steak sandwich, both of which were apparently delicious. The place was lively with music and lots of customers. Worth visiting if in the area. 10/10

To be fair I've never eaten here in person but I get this place for takeout a lot and it's very consistent, fresh, quick and delicious. I love their lunch specials, like the steak with the lovely chimichurri, rice, beans and plantains. Such a filling, well balanced meal!

This is a great casual Latin-fusion cuisine eatery situated on bustling Vernon Blvd in Hunters Point. Reservations aren’t required and walk-ins are welcome. Came in at 8pm on a Saturday night and only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. Casual atmosphere with seating inside and outside in a covered area on the street. The food was reasonably priced and the food was pretty good. I had the tilapia, a side of chips and guac, and a Patronjito cocktail (very boozy). For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake, which was a bit underwhelming to be honest. The service was a bit on the slow side because there was only one waitress for the entire restaurant (for both inside and outside seating) on a Saturday night and she was stretched pretty thin. She had a great attitude and was very nice though. She even both single-handedly presented a birthday cake and sang a Happy Birthday song (in a bright-eyed, very chipper way) for the table next to us. All I know is: Whatever they’re paying her, it’s not enough. Overall, I enjoyed eating here and will definitely be coming back for more casual nights out in the neighborhood. I just hope that they hire another person to help out with serving on busy weekends.

It was such a disappointment. I really loved Blend on the water so came with very high expectations. However to start with, it took more than 45mins to get our dishes when literally there were only two tables in the restaurant. We ordered an appetizer grilled corn, then brunch dish the egg Benedict on corn cake and French toast. Everything with corn were delicious but that is it. The rest were very poorly done.

I really enjoyed the food, but the presence of numerous flies was distracting. Otherwise, I would have given it five stars. Despite the excellent food and friendly wait staff, the brunch experience could be improved. The restaurant should Invest in a fly zapper to run overnight to make the brunch experience perfect.

Great drinks and tasty food. But they are not really well prepared for brunch. Like pernil was not available and frozen drinks were not really frozen just yet, and it was already 1230 or 1pm when we arrived.

The food is always delicious. I usually get the chicken breast with rice and beans. I always request extra garlic sauce because it is amazing. They should bottle it up and sell it.
