In November of 2012, Chef Kevin Perry and his wife Cecilia Benalcazar opened Liv2Eat to high praise from local foodies and restaurant critics, even winning the 2013 \u201cBest New Restaurant\u201d award from the Baltimore City Paper. In just a few short years, Perry and Benalcazar shuttered their restaurant….but only briefly. They opened a few weeks later, in August 2017, as In Bloom, a joint effort with new partners Chef Cyrus Keefer and Angela Keefer. Chefs Perry and Keefer had worked together at Sotto Sopra, a popular Italian restaurant north of downtown<\/a> in an area known as Cathedral Hill<\/a>. Keefer had been looking to open his own place for a few years now, and thought the partnership with Perry made sense for both of them.<\/p>\n

The restaurant itself got a bit of a face-lift–not that it especially needed it–in the form of fresh paint and new lights for the patio. I\u2019ve always thought it was a pretty space, not fussy, with nice details like the inlaid pebbles on the bar and the aluminum chairs, both of which are still around.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the chef partnership didn\u2019t work out and Perry and Benalcazar are once again on their own. That, of course, does not change the deliciousness of the restaurant.<\/p>\n
