    My wife and I love this place - great menu (although we almost always have the pizza which is terrific), great service, modest prices, and (as a cherry on top) off street parking. The Caesar salad is a special treat. A great place to go for a casual meal that's a cut above and won't break the bank.

    We were out for a girl's night out Pilates class and decided to go to Blondie afterward for our friend's birthday since we were in the area. The food and cocktails have always been good but what made this experience exceed our expectations was our service with our waitress and the interaction with the General Manager Collin during a busy Mischief Night at his establishment. He also gave us a tour of the newly renovated beautiful space, which I highly recommend booking. We were all pleased with all of our orders and service. Appreciate the genuine and kind demeanor and professionalism, Collin and Blondie team!

    We came for brunch but when we got there found out they were no longer doing brunch forever. However our waitress was phenomenal as she went to the manager to ask if they still had the ingredients to make the brunch and they did! The Manager printed out menus and gave us the brunch food instead. Phenomenal customer service and the food was great! Just be aware going forward they no longer do brunch.
