| - I've been waiting for this place to open with super high hopes, and it looks like it will live up to expectations.
Bliss: As Dave B said, we were only able to try a couple of appetizers, but they were delicious. The coconut chicken is in a plum sauce, and was divine. A full order of it would make a perfect meal, and at $7 isn't bad at ALL. Almost all of the appetizers looked just as good.
The menu isn't terribly huge, which seems to be a growing trend. Everything sounds good though; there are a few salads, two burgers, two mac and cheese options, and a couple of other entrees. They all fell in the $8-$13(ish) range.
Finally, there are a couple of great looking desserts, and a Saturday and Sunday brunch of french toast, eggs, and the usual.
The place itself is such a great space... the majority of seating is outdoors on the patio, and indoors it's a very clean and modern feel but still bright and sunshiny.
As for the ReBar side, I really think it's going to be a hit. The patio is one of the best views and best looking places downtown, and I'm guessing the inside bar will be the hot new place VERY soon. It's got all the coolness of The Roosevelt, PLUS hard liquor in addition to beer and wine. There were no tables or chairs yet, so I'm not sure what the vibe will be... it looks like it could be a low-lit swanky place with loud music and dancing, or it could turn into a more casual and comfortable hangout.
Either way, it looks like it's going to be just what I was hoping for... they'll have their own parking lot soon, so cross your fingers for Bliss/ReBar to become a destination restaurant of the sort we desperately need downtown.
