text: Blossom is a gorgeous restaurant with a Chinese modern decor featuring black lacquered tables very comfortable booths with long and plush rosehued cushions that provide great back support and green and orange accents on the seats of small carved Chinese throne chairs and hanging table lamps that look like bottomless bird cages Flowers and candles at the entrance and additional flowers on dining table tops as well as some dishes along with soothing music just added to the relaxing ambiance My party of four remained dining in this leisurely comfort for a solid hours This long sojourn at the restaurant also helped us amortize the high prices for food items over a longer period of time which based on other Yelp reviews we knew we would face going in And yes the superior quality of the cuisine and service was worth the cost nnWe opened with an order of nicelysized panfried Pot Stickers Our server called them medium but they looked large to me The outer dough was perfectly cooked as a Pot Sticker can be But the pork on the inside was unusually dense and almost devoid of any vegetables which was just a bit offputting to me But I made do dressing up the Pot Stickers with a large array of sauces oil and other accessories that I had requested Everything I asked for I received besides regular soy sauce a thin soybased sauce a thick Hoisinbased sauce XO sauce a rich and plumcolored Sweet Sour sauce Chinese Chili Oil and matchsticks of fresh ginger Fashioning varying combinations was fun before inserting large bites in my mouth But what was even more enjoyable was savoring the very fine wellassembled Lettuce Wraps that were topped by wonderfully tasty small boiled shrimps several of which cascaded down the front of my dress shirt before I noticed I hardly cared for the shrimps were bathed in a light and delicate glistening dressing which washed right off with water I only regretted that a few tasty crustaceans had eluded me nnNext was a small bowl of Hot Sour Soup Spicy and delicious As was my tablemates Wor Won Ton Soup that I sampled which featured a delicate clear broth large scallop one giant shrimp an interesting to behold clear and flexible bundle of glass noodles and two beautiful filled won tons nnFor entrees we enjoyed tender mediumrare panfried Beef Tenderloin with Chinese Black Mushrooms in a light brown sauce which was modified to our taste from the menu offering of panfried Beef Tenderloin with Portobello Mushrooms in a Black Pepper Sauce Hong Kong Style Chow Mein with large scallops and prawns large Garlic Prawn Fried Rice and gigantic Walnut Prawns glazed by mayonnaise accompanied by slightly sticky Steamed Rice Everything was delicious if a little bland But I had the sauces to give the repast before me a greater kick whenever I so desired The only problem was that as the night wore on understandably the warmth of the Tenderloin began to ebb So I deliberately sought to gobble up this dish as fast as I could Pots of addictive very tasty hot Jasmine Tea that were repeatedly repoured into ceramic cups and regularly replenished by our servers washed everything down Portions were large and more than adequate we took a few leftovers home nnNot to close such a fine meal too abruptly we finished the evening gorging on very rich Chocolate Ginger composed of chocolateginger pudding chocolate mousse a dark chocolate glaze a few ground nuts and a topping of white chocolate orange ice cream supporting a fragile and finely constructed circle of chocolate ribbon IN ADDITION TO a trio of Mango Red Bean and Green Tea Japanese Mochi resting on sleek green leaves accompanied by two halfstrawberries and a red carnation The waitstaff were friendly and as accommodating as I have encountered in any restaurant The only error in service delivery that occurred all night was our principal server forgetting to provide separate checks as requested at the time of our initial order a slight oversight that was promptly remedied nnWhat is there not to like at Blossom I highly recommend this fine dining establishment to all gourmands
