In one meal, Bloom dropped from a perennial favorite to quite ordinary (table's common feeling).
-Previously excellent lobster bisque is now watery and without lobster :(
-Calamari in calamari salad now comes in an oily beer batter instead of the old light, lunch perfect delicate one. Maybe great with a beer in a sports bar but please...
-The previously unbelievable prime rib sandwich now comes with a hint of brie ... what happened to the thick slab that made the sandwich?
-We pre-ordered a birthday desert (full order of the excellent bars of sin) but the birthday girl got nothing until we reminded the waiter after he'd delivered our check. He then brought the customary birthday half order - lovely.
-Also had an order error & forgot one latte until reminded - also arrived post-check.
If Bloom has changed hands or chefs, it's definitely not for the better.
Pros: Great decor, Great menu
Cons: Reduced food quality
