HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone's favorite bartender, Donnie from Bistro at Blooms! Donnie has been an absolute delight to have around, and frankly, he's so much more than just a bartender...

He's our "fix-it" guy when something goes wrong...
He's our impromptu dishwasher when things get too busy...
He's our vendor coordinator when we need new wine...
And, maybe most importantly....he's always our positivity when things get rough 😁 Anyone who has gotten a drink from him knows that he is an absolute ray of sunshine, and we are very lucky to have someone like that on our team!

Everybody wish Donnie a birthday as awesome as he is.

Back on track tomorrow with lots of good food and pastries, coming your way!!!

Last week we had a few lovely birthday celebrations. Who says you need cake when you can have chicken salad? 😆

I had to pop on here and give a shoutout to Salsa Guy Cafe...on Friday, when we posted about our fridge going out, Tim came to personally deliver us one of these sensors. He told us that we can install an app and it will alert us if the fridge goes out to prevent a disaster in the future....we can't get past how kind and thoughtful this was. We are blessed to be in a community full of people who truly care about supporting other businesses. We are all in this together 🥰

While the kitchen is closed tonight, Donnie will be running the bar, and we are going to have a really fun selection of appetizers available! It is going to be a perfect patio evening for drinks & snacks!

Just wanted to put this out there one more time in hopes that a few more people see it. ❤️

We would hate for anyone to make the trip out expecting dinner only to find out that we simply can’t provide it tonight.

Yesterday’s response was beyond anything we could have imagined. You all completely sold us out, and while we’re incredibly grateful, it means our kitchen needs today to restock, prep, and recharge after such an amazing (and very busy!) day.

Our kitchen is closed today.

🍻 The bar is OPEN from 4:00–9:00 PM! Donnie will be behind the bar and would love to see you. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, have a drink, and celebrate the incredible kindness this community has shown our family, we’d love to have you stop by.

Thank you again for all of the love, support, and patience. We can’t wait to get the kitchen back up and running and serve you all again very soon. ❤️

Yesterday truly exceeded anything we could have imagined.

We honestly couldn’t believe how many people showed up. You all completely sold us out of just about everything we had. While that’s an incredible problem to have, it also means our kitchen needs a chance to catch its breath, restock, and prep so we can be ready to serve everyone again.

Because of that, our kitchen will be closed during dinner.

But the celebration isn’t over! 🍻 Donnie will be behind the bar tonight and would love to see everyone. If you’d like to stop by, grab a drink, and celebrate the kindness and support this amazing community has shown our family, we’d love to have you.

Thank you again for reminding us what community looks like. The love you’ve shown us over the past couple of days is something we’ll never forget. ❤️

The bar will be open from 4-9!!!

We honestly don't even know how to put yesterday into words. What started as one of the hardest mornings we've had in a long time turned into one of the biggest reminders of why we love this community so much.

Over a hundred of you shared our post with your own friends and family. Individuals, local businesses, and complete strangers helped spread the word.

We had people stopping by just to check on us. We had local businesses calling and visiting to ask how they could help.

We welcomed so many familiar faces who came back to support us, and we also had the joy of meeting so many first-time guests who had never been here before but decided to give us a try because of our story.

We are honestly overwhelmed.

It's hard to put into words what it feels like to realize just how many people are rooting for you. Yesterday reminded us that we're so much more than a restaurant. We're part of a community that truly shows up for one another when it matters most.

From the bottom of our hearts...

Thank you. Thank you for sharing our story. Thank you for checking in on us. Thank you for choosing to spend your evening with us. Thank you for reminding us why we do what we do.

If yesterday brought you to the Bistro for the very first time, welcome. We truly hope you'll come back again. And if you've been supporting us for years, thank you for believing in our little family business through every season.

We'll never forget the kindness you showed us.

From our entire Blooms family...

Thank you. ❤️

Bistro at Blooms is now open for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner three days each week! Read more about the restaurant's new dinner and drink options.

This morning was every restaurant owner's nightmare. Today is one of the hardest days we've had in a long time.

We walked into work this morning and an entire fridge worth of food was gone. Ruined.

After staying up late last night prepping for today's lunch and evening dinner service, we walked into one of the worst surprises a restaurant can have: our brand new refrigerator failed overnight.

The hours of prep we lost hurt...but honestly, that's the least of it.

This wasn't a few vegetables or some leftovers.

Inside that fridge was our salmon, our ribs, our filet mignon, and so many other fresh ingredients that had to be thrown away. All gone. As you can imagine...we just lost an insane amount of $$$ 😔

It's heartbreaking for a small, family-owned business, but giving up isn't an option.

Right now, Chef Kathleen is back in the kitchen starting over from scratch. Chef Dan is out buying everything we need to replace what was lost. Our bartender Donnie got here at 8am and has been hauling out spoiled food and sanitizing everything so our kitchen stays safe. Our owner Peter has been bouncing between calling refrigeration companies, helping clean, helping shop, and trying to keep everything moving.

Safe to say...we're stressed. We're worried. We're exhausted.

But we're also determined. Lunch is still happening. Evening dining is still happening. We are going to work our tails off to make sure every meal that leaves our kitchen is something we're proud to serve.

If you've been thinking about stopping in, today would mean the world to us.

Bring your family to dinner. Order dessert. Tell a friend. Share this post. Your support today doesn't just help fill tables. It helps a local family-owned business recover from a really tough, unexpected hit.

Thank you for sticking with us through the good days and the really hard ones. We can't tell you how much it means.

Please say we'll see you tonight. ❤️ Our bar opens at 4, dinner is 4:30-9.
