| - Let me preface this by stating that both instances that I've had Bliss' food it has been delivered by a local service. This review does not reflect on said service in any way.
The first time I had Bliss' food I found it very tasty. The experience consisted of a Caesar salad and the meaty mac and cheese with sriracha added per numerous reviews. The Caesar was crisp, the croutons full of flavor, and the dressing spot on. The mac and cheese was hearty. Period. And I like that. That was a 4-star experience.
The latest encounter consisted of the spicy Caesar, two shrimp BLTAs, one with pretzel bread, again, per numerous yelp recommendations, and two sides of fries - one was rosemary/Parmesan and the other was the traditional salt and pepper. The spicy Caesar is the regular Caesar with sriracha added. We figured we'd give it a shot, though I now know sriracha and Caesar aren't meant to mix. I love to try new things so that's not the complaint. There was nary a crouton to be found. The menu says they come with it, so they should be there. The shrimp BLTAs lacked the fundamental component in anything marked with 'BLT' - the bacon! They were completely bland so it makes me wonder how much the bacon would've helped anyway. If they can't stand on their own without the bacon, then perhaps they need to be rethought. Now the fries. The order showed up within 30 minutes of having been placed, but the fries tasted, felt, and looked like they'd been under a hot lamp for hours. They were dry, hard, and utterly uninviting. In other words, not worth the time or money.
Perhaps the last experience was a seriously 'off' day for them, but my feeling is that whoever sent that food out the door couldn't have cared less.
