We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at the Bloser Mansion. The revitalized Mansion is beautiful. My husband had the Veal chop which he said was tender and juicy. I had Cajun Shrimp Pasta which was excellent. Server and atmosphere were wonderful. This is a hidden gem!!!

In this beautifully restored mansion we experienced wonderful food and service. The menu is updated frequently and we had a great visit with the chef and the owner. The architectural details such as the intricate hardwood floors and woodwork to the murals featuring the international travels of the original owner who traveled extensively for gemstones for his jewelry business are stunning. The owners old fashioned cocktail is a favorite.

We loved our dinner at the mansion. The restored interior is beautiful and cozy. We liked that it's not really large. The food was absolutely delicious. The steamed mussels were the best I ever had. There were four in our party, and we all are looking forward to our next visit!

We had a wonderful time Apparently they had a service worker quit that day so our waitress was running both dining rooms She was so professional and went beyond her job!! The chef introduced himself to each table and asked what we had ordered and our opinion or suggestions to improve. The owner walked us out and talked to us like we were family. We will definitely return!!

Not only was the food delicious, it was served very hot. You could tell that it was not sitting on a shelf waiting to be served. The waitress had many tables to serve but we didn't have to wait for anything. The menu had many items to pick from. Can't wait to go back and try another dish.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiling faces. The history of the Bloser Mansion is truly palatable and can be felt the second you set foot on the grounds. The decor, cleanliness, service, food and wine, and entire ambiance was incredible! And did I mention the food and wine? AMAZING! We felt like we were stepping back in time and felt welcomed as if we were coming home. So much of the mansion is original. The hardwood floors, ceilings, chandeliers, statues, murals, and comfortable rooms were truly amazing! Can't wait to go back!

Our waiter was wonderful. His name was Ryan. I wish they would have asked about how we wanted the egg done. I ordered the californacation. It was very good, but would have been better if the egg was not running all over it. After I got that off, I enjoyed my meal, but I still had to.look at the runny egg. I will return. The home was beautiful The drinks were great. Thanks for opening this in New Kensington.

I can't be overly critical We did enjoy our evening. If you are attempting to bring some class to New Kensington .. It might work A Hostess would be nice to greet those dining instead of a harried waiter/waitress Dim the lights ever so slightly to improve the ambiance .. and If you are adding Pasta to the menu maybe include a small homemade roll to top off the the Italian aspect

Off to an excellent start. Didn't detect nor did we experience any of the expected growing pains a new restaurant often exhibits. The service was friendly and perfectly timed. The space was well appointed and laid out. The biggest surprise was the food. We both had appetizers, a side salad and entrees (served piping hot). They were all well thought out and very well executed with innovative takes on some very traditional offerings. We are definitely going to include this establishment in our regular "date night" rotation. As for those of us who are lucky enough to live in New Ken, or near it, how great is it to have a place of this caliber right in your back yard? It is exactly this type of business that will prove to be the backbone of the renaissance. It is the catalyst this town needs to have that happen.

Had Pasta with red sauce and meatballs & Sausage/vegetable soup. Pasta homemade and very good. Sauce good texture but bland; needed more herb flavor/garlic. Meatballs flavorful. Pasta should be served with bread, was not. Soup excellent flavor, could use more sausage. Allegash beer - great. Service excellent - Brittany. Meal served in timely fashion. Blues music a little incongruous but I am a big fan so I enjoyed it. Overall-would recommend and would return.

Servings are VERY small and do not match the price. (Shrimp as an add on is $12 and you get 3. Pasta is served in a large rimmed bowl with a very small well.The side of mashed potatoes is a small smear plated under the meat choice.) Though the portions do not match price, the food and atmosphere are amazing as well as the service.

Great experience and some of the best sea bass I've had in a while. Most things were good except for a bizarrely overpriced charcuterie platter that legitimately had 9 pieces of meat and six of cheese. Do not get that, and Bloser Mansion, don't serve that again.

I've been there twice. The food was very good the first time. Last night the Polenta Shrimp was way too spicy. Also we were seated next to a table of 16 people and it was very loud. There were other tables available
