Still love this place! We ended up coming back for my birthday and went during happy hour—such a great choice. Karston and Kasey at the bar were absolutely amazing. They were the perfect team making their signature Bloom cocktail and even tailoring it to my taste. Super engaging, extremely friendly, and they really make you feel special.
We started with the crab cakes, which were very good, but I definitely would’ve liked more than two. The shrimp and grits were also delicious—just could’ve used a bit more andouille sausage to make it perfect. The short rib was fantastic as well, though the sauce was a little strong, almost vinegar-forward, but the mashed potatoes helped balance it out. I had the salmon on my last visit and it’s still my favorite dish so far.
For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée and the beignets. On their own, both were great, but together they tasted like a secret menu item—they had no business pairing that well.
Overall, this is still one of my favorite places to go and that won’t be changing anytime soon. Great food + great service every time. Whoever hired those two behind the bar deserves a raise.

We discovered Bloom in Chester Springs while going out for our 21st anniversary, and wow—what an amazing find! It’s southern comfort food with a flair, and the decor strikes the perfect balance between homey and chic (and they have the nicest restaurant bathroom I’ve ever seen).
Happy hour is definitely the way to go here—you can snag great deals on both food and drinks. Our waitress/bartender Emily was an absolute gem—super sweet, friendly, and attentive. She chatted with us throughout the evening and made a killer mojito.
We started with the Nashville deviled eggs, which had a unique seasoning twist that really set them apart. I had the Florida Mango Salmon, quite possibly the best salmon I’ve ever eaten—I’m dying to know the seasoning they use! My husband got the Pimento Cheese Double Smashburger, and it was out of this world. For dessert, the strawberry shortcake bread pudding was very good, but the monkey bread was next-level amazing.
Great atmosphere, fantastic service, and unforgettable food—we’ll definitely be back!
