The Bloomy Rind

After being out of Hingham for nearly 2 years, I was excited to come back to the Bloomy Rind. However; it was evidently clear there was new management. What I experienced was a far cry from the amazing customer service I remember. I was impatiently stared at while I perused what the menu had to offer. When I inquired about any substitutions to the sandwich list (for my medical dietary restrictions) I was essentially told that my palate was unrefined and that he would not accommodate any changes. To add insult to injury, he went on to tell me that the chef trained in some of the most prestigious kitchens that he was "sure I had never been to before." - making slants on people's health restrictions and socioeconomic status is not the way to make loyal customers.

The last time I went to Bloomy Rind might have been two years ago, with my mother-in-law, who was visiting from out of town. We got sandwiches then, and they were fine. Yesterday after buying some earrings for my wife for Valentine's Day at Whitney Gordon's Jewelry a block away, I decided to check out Bloomy Rind once more. What caught my eye immediately was the big bowl of fried rice (with Chinese sausage!) on the counter. And then the big bowl of penne with peas and mushrooms. It was around 1pm and I was starving. So I got a large container of each, to go. And a bowl of butternut squash bisque. Michael was a good foodie salesman! He and Mary beckoned me not to wait another two years to return. Well, that food served as lunch and then dinner for me. The fried rice was better than my mom's! The pasta had just the right amount of creamy sauce, though I wish it had more mushrooms. Still it was delicious! And the soup? It was heavenly. I will definitely be going back for more! They're open Wed-Sat afternoons, at this time.

Walked by and saw they had sandwiches. My son and I both got the butcher with delicious cold meats. I will definitely be stopping back for other items. Tried their cheese of the day too. If i wasn’t heading to work I would have bought more!!! Everyone was down to earth and friendly to my 7 year old and me. Great place!
