"With Spring 22 there is a new Bloom in Chicagoland to talk about. A fresh contester for the Top Spot of veg*n restaurants in the area. While it lacks the view of Althea or the outdoors experience of Spirit Elephant, it does offer an interesting options for the plant-food lovers. We gave it a try 2 weekends in a row. Checked all the desserts and many of the Quick Bites and Big Boys offers. Love the mix of influences Mexico to Japan and all in between. A reverence to the Her Majesy the Fermentation still, it's not NOMA, but better than most. Talking of NOMA we liked the most the focus and uniquness of the sauces and their innovative use. I need some inside secret info... I would skip the Tamal Ranchero simply not as exciting as the other options in the list. Would have been nice to see some non-alcoholic fresh creations hopefully they will show up with the summer fruits. Ambiance is lively, a bit on the loud side. The tempo is kind of quick, matching the beat of the neighborhood maybe? Consider making a reservation tried two separate ways online, both worked great. 220425 Updated from previous review on 2022-04-25"
