Yesterday evening, following dinner, we opted to visit Blackberry Bliss for some drinks and hookah. This was my second visit. Firstly, I must insist that they update their menus. If they are charging $80 for hookah, I expect the menu to be more than just a piece of paper, and at the very least laminated. The venue is undeniably stunning, both inside and out, and this is the primary draw, especially considering that they are new. The staff are very pleasant. During my previous visit, I had sampled a few drinks and some food. However, this time, we only ordered drinks, hookah, and a few servings of fries to snack on. While the drinks may look appealing, they need to elevate their quality. I tried the gimlet and the blackberry martini, both of which tasted like juice. Frankly, I was almost convinced that there was no alcohol in them, which was quite disappointing as I was looking forward to a fun night out with friends. The fries were delicious. I was satisfied with the hookah as well, although I believe it was unfair that on a busy night they had only one hookah guy. We had to wait for charcoal for quite some time, but I can't fault him since he was the only hookah attendant with the entire venue full of people smoking multiple hookahs. During my previous visit, it was not as crowded and he was on top of things, leaving me impressed. Their prices are quite high-end, which I don't mind, as I understand that opening a new and beautiful establishment entails high prices. However, they need to live up to their pricing. When I spend $18 on a small portion of carrot cake, I anticipate it to be freshly made.
