Much better experience than previously posted about!! Spoke with manager about previous experience and was invited back. Didn't tell them I was coming to see if things had truly improved and wow did they!! Servers and Gachos were much more attentive, and the meats kept coming to a point where we needed an extra plate!! Awesome. Drink refills and cheese roll refills were a bit slow, but wow, what a turnaround from my previous visit. If you are in the downtown area, then Fogo is a great spot to dine!

Our first time to Bliss was wonderful. Nick was our waiter and he did not disappoint. He shared the history of the building and the restaurant. His knowledge of the menu and sense of humor provided both me and my husband a wonderful and memorable evening. I would recommend Bliss to anyone looking for an intimate dinner with unique and delicious food.
