Blossom & Bourbon Restaurant

🌸 Blossom & Bourbon – San Jose 🌸 What a gem! Blossom & Bourbon has an old-school Hollywood vibe with gorgeous décor, beautiful trees inside, and a cozy outdoor area with fire pits. Everything feels fresh, elegant, and inviting. The food was outstanding — every dish was creative and full of flavor. We had the roasted beets, goat cheese fritters, and a wedge salad that completely redefined what a wedge salad can be. The fried cauliflower nuggets were amazing — even the guys who said they’d never eat cauliflower were surprised by how good they were! The ribeye steak was juicy, generous, and full of flavor, and since it was Sunday, we also tried the prime rib, which was absolutely delicious. Dessert was a white chocolate decadent with what tasted like freshly made whipped cream — we devoured it even though we were completely full! Service was on point — the team was attentive, friendly, and clearly cared about what they do. Management was hands-on and supportive, and everything was spotless. Can’t wait to go back with more family and friends. Book in advance — they fill up fast (for good reason)!

Food is pretty good, service was great & atmosphere is elegant. We ordered: Hamachi carpaccio - fresh & tasty. It's what you expect from this dish. wedge salad - I didn't ask for it, but they were kind enough to split our salad. Salad was really good, the bacon definitely made the dish and the blue cheese dressing was ready good. Margherita pizza - this was very disappointing, I was excited to try it after reading all the premium ingredients they used, but the pizza came out soggy, flavor was ok, maybe it was an off day and I just got a poorly cooked pizza. Mac & cheese - this was good and my daughter liked it Parmesan truffle fries - great fries, crispy with great flavor Skirt steak - perfectly cook & it was really good. Had a great dinner here and would come back again.

I met up with some friends at the restaurant. It was my first time there so I didn't know what to expect. The food was good (some dishes were very good) and the service was friendly and efficient, without being overly cloying. The hamachi crudo was sublime. My gin-based cocktail was very good. I would go back there to eat again, even though it wasn't exactly cheap.

I swear I heard he did a review for this place but maybe I forgot to. Lol this was our first time going to this restaurant in San Jose and I was rather surprised- there are too many fancy or sitdown restaurants that I’ve seen as of late - so this was a breath of fresh air! As we were seated, we were asked by one gentleman if we wanted flat or bubble water. My boyfriend asked if they had any bottled water and the server said “no.” We got some bubbled water and then ordered two cocktails. Our server was a friendly person with some interesting tattoos. They had tats on their forearms and neck. I thought it was very modern that a restaurant allowed tattoos to be viable. I like it! After we got our drinks we noticed the table next to us had bottled water. Lol perhaps the gentleman didn’t know they had bottled water?! We were starving so per usual, we ordered four different dishes and split everything! The Caesar salad and bisque soup were made perfectly! There was enough dressing on all of the Caesar salad and ample mountains of cheese! I truly love the jalapeño cornbread croutons as well what a great personal touch!! The lobster bisque soup was perfectly flavored and seasoned. It tasted as if it had been made overnight so all the flavors were really full embodied. I was also happy to find out there was no monosodium glutamate/MSG in the soup. Sometimes restaurants cut corners and add the MSG so they don’t have to make the broth as fast. Lol so frustrating since I’m allergic! There were also huge chunks of lobster within the soup itself! My boyfriend has an obsession with deep-fried cauliflower wings. I forget what these ones were called, but they had a good Asian spiced barbecue flavor to them!! We both really like them!! And we took half of them to go so we could finish the rest of our salad. Lol. My scallops with the lemon orzo was so perfect. I’m never going to one or so any other way again!! I literally had to finish the whole dish because I know scallops will never taste the same the next day!! But the twist with the lemon orzo was simply amazing!! I love the plate of citrus, bring out the freshness of the scallops!! My boyfriend Marina pasta I forgot what the dish was called with the sauce had a lot of flavor! I wanna say it was a vodka marinara sauce and with fresh Parmesan cheese that was made out then so it had really good flavor to the pasta and since he had to help me finish the scallops, we took half of that home, and it tasted amazing in the air fryer the next day! Had the perfect crispiness to the edges with the cheese!! We also got two cocktails! The Cats Meow and Let Love Blossom. Our server said The Cat’s Meow was sweet, so I was hesitant in ordering it since I don’t want or like sweet drinks, more like well balanced. When the drink came and actually tasted perfectly balanced with the amount of lavender and citrus from the grapefruit and lemon. My boyfriend says the same thing since he doesn’t like sweet tasting drinks either we are more include sour drinks or balanced one. This one didn’t have a sour taste, but it did have a subtle zing aftertaste just refreshing. He ordered, let love blossom, and that had a really good flavor as well, but he liked the citrus after taste of mine so he ordered one of my drinks as well, the cats meow with our favorite overall! We realized afterwards we probably should’ve had ordered something heavier like a red sauce and not scallops so we could have a bourbon cocktail, but we’ll have to come back and do that again next time! Lol

Food was pretty good. Interesting concepts. The rib eye was somehow over salted but still good. Lamb chops were great. The lobster rolls are definitely an interesting take on a traditional roll. It was busy so our food took a bit but our server was excellent and answered all our questions and kept the mood lively. Bonus for being dog friendly.
