Nestled on an 86-acre working farm just east of I-75, Blossom & Brie reimagines what dining in Southwest Florida can be—turning a meal into a full sensory experience. The restaurant has quickly become one of the region’s most talked-about farm-to-table destinations, even earning Best Farm-to-Table Restaurant honors in the 2025 Gulfshore Life awards thanks to its commitment to freshness and thoughtful hospitality.
From the moment you arrive, the setting sets the tone: rolling pastures, roaming animals, and the relaxed charm of rural Florida. You’re just as likely to see cows, pigs, and donkeys as you are to spot fellow diners, and guests frequently enjoy walking the grounds or meeting the farm’s friendly inhabitants before or after their meal.
The menu leans into what’s harvested on site and sourced locally, with seasonal salads, hearty mains, and elevated classics that highlight the farm’s produce and pasture-raised ingredients. Many reviewers praise the freshness and flavor of dishes like quiche, seafood gumbo, and specialty salads, and the high overall ratings (about 4.7/5 across hundreds of reviewers) reflect a strong consensus of delight.
Service here tends to be warm and personal, with the owners often greeting guests and staff striving to make each visit special. The ambiance is rustic yet refined—perfect for brunch, lunch, or a leisurely dinner—and its appeal extends beyond just a meal to something more memorable and heartfelt.
While a few diners note that the location is somewhat off the beaten path and that prices can be on the higher side, most agree it’s well worth the journey for the unique farm-fresh experience.
I have only been here once and had the ribeye steak and eggs. I only gave 4 stars for food because the steak seemed more like a sirloin instead of ribeye. It was tough and chewie with no marbling.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Blossom and Brie. It’s definitely the place to go for fabulous service. Irmma was very attentive to our needs without rushing us through our meal, which made the evening even more enjoyable. It reminded us a little of dining in Italy, where people truly take the time to enjoy the whole dining experience.
The food was fabulous. We started with the heirloom tomato salad, which was absolutely delicious. For our main course, I had the snapper and my husband had the filet. We also shared an order of mushroom risotto, which was some of the best we’ve ever had.
My husband is a big steak lover and he rated the filet as one of the best he’s ever eaten.
We will definitely be returning and are hoping to bring our family for our Christmas celebration. I’ll be calling on November 1st to make a reservation.
Thanks again, Irmma, for the great service!

You will love the B&B restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed it and was truly a great experience from start to finish. We ordered the bread which was warm and delicious and the honey butter delightful. I had the pear salad which had their homegrown greens which was ok, and husband had the hot vegan sandwich with a green apple and dried cranberries and for dessert we had the mixed berry pie and all were outstanding. The ambiance was charming and very authentic. We met the owner, Rodney, and he explained that the building originally was a barn, turned into a man cave, and now a restaurant which still looks like a barn with a restaurant flair. Rodney took us for a tour of the ‘trailer garden’ where he grows all the lettuces and microgreens. I recommend making a reservation for lunch, it was busy,
You can feed the animals in the back afterwards if you like. Kristen was our server who was very attentive and personable.

What an incredible experience we had at Blossom and Brie! From the moment we got there I knew the night was going to be magical! The peaceful walk around the property was so enjoyable. We were met by 3 Sandhills Cranes who have taken up residence on the property. We chatted with Rodney, the owner, and he gave us lots of information on the farm and the animals. Once at our seat, we were met by Abigail, our server for the evening. She was pleasant, attentive, efficient and did not rush our dining experience. We started with some refreshing mocktails, The Blossom, with fresh mint, strawberries, lime juice and ginger beer as well as a Summer Lavender Spritzer, blueberries, lavender syrup, lemon juice and soda water. The food was phenomenal! Apple Salad and Heirloom Tomato Salad to start, Beef Bourguignon and Cavatelli Pasta for main and Apple and Boysenberry al la mode for dessert. The Americano coffee was delicious too. The atmosphere is amazing and the view was spectacular! Definitely a must if you are in SWFL!

Wow! What a wonderful experience. The drink menu is so good with lots to consider from bourbon caramel latte to strawberry champagne margarita to blackberry smash…the brunch options were tough to choose between. The SWF Omelette was out of this world! The Haystack breakfast looked so good & was very tempting, whipped Brie w honey & berries … so yummy! Quiche was delicious…the Cure (burger) was about the best burger I’ve ever had. Feeding the animals afterwards was fun. The donkeys are as sweet as can be…sheep, pigs, cows, chickens… and it’s also a wedding venue…I can’t wait to visit!

one of my favorite dinners. Star ratings say it all. Got the beef and jerk chicken dishes with the Brie app. Red sangria so fresh and not too sweet. All made in house!!! They had chickens and piglets on the farm too! Booked at 545 which seemed to be their feeding time right up front. Service was great.

I was so entertained by the animals I forgot to take pictures of our delicious food! We had a great meal, I enjoyed the shrimp & pasta, my husband had the pork belly & my SIL had the filet. Everything was delicious & we would definitely go again. The only negative was our request to be seated together or tables next to each other, we were a party of 11. Reservations were made 2+ weeks in advance but neither request was accommodated, instead we sat with our backs to each other & could not have any conversation. Based on the room set up, I think our request could have been managed a little better.
The important thing to remember if you go is to take a bag of carrots for the animals. They sell a very small bag there for $5, glad we bought a bag at Publix on our way to the restaurant.

It is season here so it was more crowded than I would have liked but this isn’t the restaurant’s fault, just a fact of life. The food was okay and so was the service. The grounds are what made me come here and it was enjoyable to walk around after brunch and see the animals. It was worth going to once but no need to come back. If you have out of town guests, it would be a place to take them or if you have kids or In my case, a birthday to celebrate.

They have an event space which is very nice and the will serve buffet style. The homemade bread is great and they have local Kombucha. The service is very friendly and food is outstanding. The atmosphere is a nice change from a standard strip mall. You can purchase carrots to feed the animals. The chef loves on site.
