Visited recently on a Saturday. The weather was perfect; the lunchtime was almost over, so thre were tables available. The atmosphere aims to be French bistro style, spacious and sunny. Service professional, friendly, not intrusive but attentive. Food very good standard, ingenious in presentation. Good wine list - mostly wines of the hosting winery, Murdoch James (although this is run... More

We had an outside table on a lively sunny day. The food was very nice we ordered glasses of wine which we had bought at the wine tasting for $20 for the bottle. When the bill came each glass was $12. It is a short season, but even so the mark up is impressive, as they will not be charged... More

Visited Bloom again...great location for a lovely lunch although a title way outside town. Well worth a visit. Not quite a good as last time as the last. I chose ...slow double cooked pork belly was a tad grisly and the crackling soft..but always a slight risk with this dish. My wife's dish was delish!

Situated in Murdoch James Winery great spot for lunch while touring the Martinborough Vineyards Wonderful food and the Murdoch james wines superb!

We has visitors from overseas so took them wine-tasting in the Wairarapa. After the windy drive over the Rimutakas from Wgtn we were so pleased that the Bloom Restaurant at Murdoch James winery was able to showcase NZ vineyards. Open on a Monday when many weren't was a plus already but when we arrived found a very well decorated and... More
