Bloom is a New American restaurant that serves up a seasonal menu. The food is traditionally American classics but diners often notice an Asian and European influence in the dishes. Bloom is located near the Shops at Gainey Ranch and features a modern interior rich in blacks, blues and grays. The kitchen is exposed; allowing diners to witness the chefs create their masterpieces.
