Thoroughly enjoyable and delicious Summerlicious lunch on a relaxed Saturday. First time trying Nuevo Latino and Chef Pedro Quintanilla made ours a delightful experience.
Plating, texture, and flavour of the dishes were thoughtful and creative. We were very pleased to have tried: duck tostadas, salad with palm hearts, salmon terrine, guava cheese cake, and apple empanada.
We had a reservation for 11am but apparently the restaurant didn't open until 11:30. Nonetheless, Chef Pedro accommodated us graciously. We were seated and served tout de suite. The gentleman who later came in later and was our server... he was visibly vexed at having patrons earlier than Bloom's business hours. His manner was brusque and relatively more inattentive and less gracious than I had expected and when compared to the Chef himself. Perhaps this was a one-off.
Anyhow, for the food: 10/10 would revisit and try Bloom outside of summer/winterlicious.
