Out martinis, bread service and oysters were awesome, and the hostess and waiter were both very friendly and attentive! Our only wish is that the bar area was bigger since it's a nice happy hour spot. read more

Late night bite to eat...last minute plan. We didn't want Taco Bell, we wanted REAL food. Got lucky to score a cocktail table in the bar area. Jumping right in, we get Taylor's amazing martinis with those memorable olives. Our sever was our vibe...cool, sassy, and could keep up with our humor. We ordered the caviar. If you're not ordering the caviar, then what are you doing? The accouterments were diced beautifully and devoured gracefully. He chose the duck, I chose the crab cavatelli, both were a palette shocker from the last time we visited. The mango sauce on the duck was the proper balance needed for a rich protein, and well, the cavatelli, #2 pasta I've had in my life. After raving about dinner, we opted for the Mexican ice cream sandwich and a carajillo, don't judge, just do it. Michelin path is an understatement. Cannnot wait to come back and do it all again. read more

I really wanted to love this place because I have seen so many videos about it, but in all honesty it just did not wow me. The appetizers were good but nothing that really stood out. For my entree I got the spaghetti carbonara and maybe carbonara is just not for me, but it tasted very bland in my opinion. Dessert was what I was most excited about since I love chocolate. The presentation of the cake was beautiful, but the cake itself was a little dry and honestly reminded me of a microwave mug cake. Not saying it was made that way at all, but that is what it felt like and it was not worth the price which left me disappointed. The service was very good though. Our waiter was kind and attentive, especially since I cannot have pork or gelatin. He made sure nothing I ordered had those ingredients and even recommended desserts without gelatin. I really wanted to try the chocolate cake, so he said they could make it without gelatin which I appreciated. Overall the food just did not hit the spot for me. The prices are high and I expected more from the flavor. The one dish I really enjoyed was the cream spinach side which was delicious. The ambience was nice, very tavern like, but the food just did not match the hype for me unfortunately read more

I mean.. it's Bludorn. You really cannot go wrong with anything Aaron touches. And that's facts. We really made a night of it and started with Happy Hour. We had raw and cooked oysters that were amazing! You could have ended the night there, but of course we kept going!!! When we finished indulging in the HH we were kindly assisted to our table... Let's pause a minute and recognize every single staff member at this place. From the bougie bread service, to hostess, to waitstaff, to management... The attention to detail is insane and you will not go with wanting a thing for more than half a second here. Notably, my friend asked for club soda to remove hot sauce from his shirt (hehe) and he was offered not only club soda but a shout wipe and the manger came by to check on him.. Whattt!! The bar has been set, and I am forever changed from this experience.. Ok, ok.. The food! We had a lovely steak cooked to perfection. The best carbonara with a nice twist that really makes it stand out from the basic B carbonaras and a nice risotto to round out the meal. Really just order whatever sounds exciting to you and it will undoubtedly be great. HH -- I believe was until 6 and only in the bar area. Parking - complementary valet Overall an amazing experience with too legit food so get that resy in the bag! read more

We came here on a Saturday night for dinner. Though the location is a bit farther out and unassuming from the outside, it's very nice inside! Don't mistake the name - this definitely isn't bar food. Reservations are a must, and even then we were waiting for a bit and got drinks at the bar (standing room only!). We were seated soon after and our waitress made several recommendations. Drinks were great - we got a couple of cocktails. Fava hummus- 5/5 - this was amazing! Unique spin on hummus with the halloumi cheese and it comes with tasty bread and veggies to dip. This unfortunately filled us quite up, so watch out for that bread! Hamachi tostada - 4/5 - it's just one tostada, so a bit harder to share. But tasty nonetheless! Spaghetti carbonara - 5/5 - my wife was a fan! Scallops - 2/5 - this was not good. We often get scallops when we eat out, we're big fans. But these scallops tasted like they weren't fresh and they were tiny, the succotash that was under wasn't very great either. It's kind of ridiculous for a $60 plate. Zucchini and shishito side - 5/5 - super tasty and unique as a side! It's a nice mixture with what seemed like some soy sauce. We were glad we got this - I'd definitely recommend it. We were stuffed after this and had no room for dessert unfortunately. Overall a delicious meal (except for the scallops). We'll likely be back to try more! read more

Having frequented Bludorn, I was curious to try their offshoot concept, Bar Bludorn. The food is similar, maybe a little more "southern cooking" focused, and still high quality and scrumptious. We actually enjoyed this meal more than our visit to Bludorn a few weeks earlier! The ambiance is reminiscent of a steakhouse with a slightly updated but retro take (the server outfits reminded me of judges of the Hunger Games or Star Trek!). Service was very friendly, and almost all of the waitstaff were upbeat and grinning. Only the valet team seemed a bit snide but... it was kind of hot outside so maybe they weren't in their best set of mind. Parking is only valet too, although it is complimentary. Dinner started with their complimentary Parker house rolls which are so poofy and cute. The interior is like milk bread so a little denser than a normal bread roll. It came with salted (yay!) butter. Tasty and pretty but not amazing enough to ask for extra rolls. ** Steak tartare (4.5/5): seasoned with a bit of vinegar, quite savory/umami, and I loved the warm crispy potato rounds (like tater tots!). Definitely ask for the horseradish on the side-- took a nibble and it was stronggggg ** Beet hummus (4/5): came pretty in pink and with a mound of goat cheese, tray of cut vegetables, and fluffy zaatar bread. Still a savory dish overall, great to share and tasty. ** Blue crab pasta (4/5): loved the Fresno chile sauce, which was bright in color, creamy, and rich. Just enough salt without being overly salted. The crab didn't seem like it was from a can. The cavatelli pasta was almost like a gnocchi, kind of soft and not quite the al dente preferred with other pastas (my first time having cavatelli so not sure if that's the usual texture). The appetizer size was a perfect portion to share between two people. ** Roasted carrots (4/5): very soft and roasted until a bit shriveled-- but I'm a carrot fan, so hard to disappoint me. I didn't think it needed the extra aioli-like sauce ** Mushrooms (4.5/5): variety of shrooms = different textures and fun to eat! Definitely quite vinegar-y and tangy. The cooked down onions added a nice sweetness. ** Dry aged striploin (3.5/5): The inside was cooked more medium than medium-rare as requested, so was a little dry for me. It came with a super delicious Au poivre vert sauce (creamy and tastes like shallots and maybe some carrots?). I only tried one bite but I'm not a steak expert, while MT polished it off and said it was a pretty good steak! ** Salmon (4.5/5): the salmon itself was beautifully cooked, still oily and moist but being fully cooked inside with that crispy skin! Delish~~ The slight vinegar flavor in the lentils distracted from the experience, and some of the greens had a really bitter flavor. Otherwise the trout roe was a fun bit of additional flavor and texture contrast! Overall, great meal and worth venturing out to try! I'll be back for more of the menu + dessert! read more

Cool/Chill dinner spot! Made reservations ahead of time. The starter bread and butter was hot and fresh! Even got a 2nd loaf. Started off with the raw and baked oysters. The raw oysters tasted super fresh and had all the fixings on the side. The baked oysters were alright. They may have burned it a little too much. For my drink, I got a mocktail which was the Charlanrita with tajin on the rim. It was actually pretty similar to a classic margarita without the tequila so it satisfied my craving. Very refreshing! For my main, I got the Pork Chop Saltimbocca. The cook on this was excellent with the crispiness on the outside and very tender/juicy on the inside. The benton's ham was so flavorful and seasoned quite well. Great job on the cook. Side of fries was crispy and loved the aioli sauce it came with. The parmesan risotto was also noteable as well and creamy/texture was on point. The dry aged striploin was cooked to a perfect medium rare. It still remained tender and good pairing with the Au Poivre Vert. The Crepe Cake was similar to a dubai chocolate flavor. Actually quite delicious! Layers of pistachio cream and chocolate blended well together in each bite with the crispy kataifi. Restrooms - Clean, fancy captions and fancy Aesop hand soap Parking - Valet Our server was knowledgeable and kind! read more

I came with a friend for happy hour drinks on a weekday, but we were told seating was only available at the bar, so we decided to pass on the drinks. That said, our waitress was incredibly sweet. It seemed like she was new, but she was clearly trying her best, and I really want to shout her out for taking such great care of us! We started with the Fritto Misto as our appetizer. For my entrée, I went with the short rib Reuben--and I'm so glad I did. The rye bread was buttery and rich (my fingers definitely felt the aftermath), but it was absolutely worth it. Every component was what you'd expect from a Reuben, but it felt elevated. We ended up staying for quite a while, and by the time we left, the place was packed and had more of a night life vibe to it. read more

Service was impeccable. Had the thanksgiving 3 course meal. Squash soup was delicious, the turkey was tender and juicy, and the sides were huge! And then there was the dessert. Chocolate cake and pumpkin pie. I didn't think I had any room left after the entree, but some how I made room for the dessert. I wanted seconds! Worth the money and the experience. read more

So we have been here a few times but it's my first review. Service is lovely. Inside is so loud that we enjoy sitting outside instead. The steaks are amazing. My husband goes the steak route. I always try something different and this time I was a bit disappointed. The gnocchi was so mushy and the lobster was rubbery. But honestly. The steak is where it is at and I'd happily go back. read more

From my experience Bar Bludorn provides a better experience than the original location. The restaurant is an open concept with a front facing kitchen towards the rear of the restaurant. They provide a sophisticated wine menu that pairs well with their ever evolving menu. While the service was top notch, the chefs are quite young and certain items could have been better executed. My duck came in 3 pieces. Unfortunately the knife provided did not have a serrated edge. Upon request I received the same style knife which took far too much effort to cut. I would suggest the kitchen prepare the duck in smaller portions. Additionally, the kitchen forgot the sautéed carrots which were received charred and should have never left the kitchen. They mitigated this concern by providing a complimentary Rice Pudding. While it was a little on the sweet side, the flavor profile is complex and everything is made from scratch adding more emphasis to the experience. I will return and would recommend giving Bar Bludorn an opportunity. Reservations are recommended. read more

We have eaten at all three of the restaurants in the Bludorn Family and the one thing that stands out is the level of attention and service shown by all members of the staff. Front desk, the manager who came by our table, the sommelier, and especially our primary server Jordan. I can't give an exact number of times I have wanted to list a server by name, but Jordan was truly outstanding and I would put her diligence, attention, and charm up against any other server we have had at either Bludorn or Navy Blue. The food was outstanding. We all agreed that a great way to start a day would be with a plate of the country ham beignets and coffee, the oysters were fresh and flavorful, and all three entrees exceeded expectations. From the decor, to the service, to the food this is place we will be back to eat and can't wait for their location to open up North. read more

Bludorn set the bar very high for Houston dining, Michelin recognition, flawless execution, warm hospitality, and food that earns every dollar. Bar Bludorn, unfortunately, is not there yet... and that contrast is impossible to ignore. Let's start with the good: the food is delicious. An honest 8/10. You can absolutely get a fantastic filet mignon here, arguably one of the best in the city. The kitchen knows what it's doing, no question. Now the problem: the service. For a restaurant charging Bludorn-level prices, the hospitality was shockingly absent. Our server seemed completely disengaged, as if we were an inconvenience rather than guests. There was no warmth, no attention, no sense that anyone cared whether we were enjoying ourselves, or even planned to come back. It felt transactional at best, indifferent at worst. Bar Bludorn positions itself as a polished, elevated dining experience, but the service told a very different story. When the hospitality misses this hard, it overshadows even good food. And in Houston, where you can get incredible steaks, thoughtful service, and better value all over the city, there's simply no reason to settle. Bludorn remains exceptional. Bar Bludorn, at least for now, feels like a concept still finding its footing while charging full price for the destination it wants to be. Until the service catches up to the ambition, we won't be returning. read more

I ate her for my birthday with wife and daughter. It has the reputation of being hard to get in so we were fortunate to get a Friday night reservation. We ate outside on the patio which was much quieter than inside and the 70 or so temperature was pleasant. there were 4 or 5 tables outside but service was great, we were not forgotten. To be honest, we started inside but it was just too loud. I started with some sort of tequila martini which i had about half of. I have decided tequila and vermouth do not mix The fresh main oysters provided an excellent start to the meal. They also had Brunswick but i opted for the main, good size, fresh ocean taste and full of flavor. I moved onto the pasta which was full of flavor and again, a very fresh taste. My wife had filet mignon which she said was excellent, far better than the same she had had at other places around Houston. My daughter liked the duck, again, high quality and flavorful. We had some sautéed spinach and French fries as slides which were also great. The wine list was expensive but quality items. The 2020 1er cru Beaune blended well with all our our plates. As it was my birthday they greeted us with the little cake and candle you see below. Nice meal, i will be back. read more

The moms wanted to have Houston Restaurant Weeks here so we went for it. When I showed up I remembered being there before. It's the old Jonathan's the Rub Building. 1) Parking: it's valet. No lie I parked at the shopping center right next to it because all of the stores were closed and didn't get towed ‍. Some of the moms Ubered from the Heights but it's a close enough drive. 2) Service: everyone was very nice and polite 3) Environment: it was really stinking loud in there and hard to hear anyone, even our wait staff. Felt like I was yelling all night. Not great acoustics. 4) Food: didn't take pictures but we got the hamachi tostada which was tasty and the ham and cheese beignets, also tasty. They also give you complimentary roll and the most whipped butter ever it looked like sour cream to me. The HRW menu was a good mix. I got the shrimp tart which was sad shrimp that tasted like it was from Argentina. I know that's a weird description but I was born and raised on Gulf Shrimp from Galveston and that was no gulf shrimp which I thought was odd because they have an emblem on the menu saying they support the Galveston Bay Foundation. Anyway it was a little too tart and tangy. I get there was supposed to be a mix of flavor but sometimes too much is too much. I picked the branzino for my main course and it was well cooked. I just ate the fish itself. I didn't care for the bed of stuff it was on. I also got the blueberry cake and the whipped cream and sprinkle of salt was clutch but the cake itself was really dry. I absolutely love Navy Blue so I was looking forward to this place and it is most definitely a four star place. I was hoping for a little more simplicity in the food as opposed to a beautifully dressed item. Good food speaks for itself but all the garnish and extra took away from the main menu items themselves. read more

The server was nice and brought food in a timely manner, but the food quality is where it gets a little sticky. Three people of my party decided to get the special 40oz ribeye, the wait would be 45 minutes for the steak. My sister and I decided to split the $71 NY Strip. My sister and I started with splitting the $13 salad, it wasn't bad, it wasn't the best. It was lettuce, some parmesan, and some caesar dressing. When the 40oz ribeye was dropped off, a manager came a little afterwards to tell us the other steak had been burned and another one would be coming out soon. The new steak was dropped off and we ordered it medium and we got a rare steak with no brown in the middle. We decided to let it go since we were hungry and just wanted to eat. Ultimately a little disappointed that they couldn't get our $71 steak correct. The whole atmosphere of the place is nice and it not loud but it's not quiet. The servers are nice. First few experiences here were great, not sure what happened this time. Wish i included a picture of our "medium" steak, but this is a day after and no picture was taken. read more

Aaron Bludorn's newest, more "casual" concept does not disappoint. The atmosphere is inviting, cozy and classy with a grand view of the kitchen. Service is top with attention to all details. Food is excellent. The carrot ginger soup - fantastic. Ham beignets are good. Steak tartare remarkable. Those are your starters. Steak is a low key, highlight. Pastas are solid. I can't wait to try the Short-rib Rueben. Wine program is very respectable. If you haven't been, give them a try. If you have, well - you know. read more

I loved the original Bludorn location (shout-out to them on getting a well-deserved Michelin recommendation), so I knew already that Bar Bludorn was also going to be great. We got the following: -Parker house rolls: pillowy soft and delicious alongside the salted whipped butter -Masa Gnocchi: wow! I've never had gnocchi made out of masa and this alongside the shrimp was outstanding. I wanted more. -Porchetta: such a cohesive dish! I loved the saltiness of the pork, the brininess of the olives, the creamy polenta, and the grapefruit slices which cut through the richness of the dish. -Ora King Salmon: I knew right off the bat that this was going to be amazing based on having this at the original Bludorn. This is the BEST salmon dish, and it comes from Marlborough, New Zealand. The service was outstanding, the staff was friendly, and of course the cozy atmosphere was lovely. Even the valet staff out front was so attentive. Would absolutely recommend! read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and finally made a reservation to go. Overall, it's not worth it for the price. The food we got was so so and the drinks were mid for how pricey they were. $17 for a lychee martini, small and average. The bread and butter that comes out before the meal is incredible, but it's just bread. I got the Ricotta Gnocchi, which had no flavor and was so small. My friend got the Branzino which I thought was excellent and cooked perfectly, but the rest of the meal was forgettable. The service was fine, wait staff were attentive and friendly. There is no parking but they do offer complementary valet. The restaurant does give more upscale vibes on the inside. There is a dining room and bar area. It does get super loud in the dining area if it's busy so just beware. I wish I could say I would be back but after the experience I would probably not come back. read more

My husband and I had a mid-week reservation at Bar Bludorn for Houston Restaurant Weeks. We were excited to see if it was worth the drive and a spot to add into our date night rotation. Instead, from the moment I arrived, the experience felt off. There were four people at the hostess stand, and rather than being welcomed, I felt looked up and down, as if being evaluated instead of greeted. Service only reinforced that impression. Multiple staff members repeatedly tried to clear our plates before we were finished. We had to stop them several times, including one instance where a plate was actually lifted while we were still reaching for fries. Even the bread was nearly whisked away mid-bite. None of our courses were served by our actual waitress, and she rarely checked in throughout the meal. Drinks were another issue. I finished my only glass of wine after dinner but before dessert, and it was taken without asking if I wanted another. Dessert was served, and I was still without a drink until we flagged our waitress down to place an order. My martini eventually arrived, brought by another staff member. Shortly after, the waitress asked if we wanted anything else. My husband, who had only had water all evening, told her, "No, not right now," as he was still deciding on an after-dinner drink. She left, then returned with the check even though my martini was untouched on the table. About ten minutes later she came back again to collect it. Reader, the card was not even on the table for her to take. We were still trying to enjoy the experience (and my martini). Meanwhile, other tables not dining from the HRW menu seemed to receive warmer, slower-paced service. That contrast was hard to ignore. A table of two seated before us in a large booth was still lingering long after our dessert was cleared, always with a drink in front of them. By the end, it was clear this was not the polished, relaxed experience we expected. Presentation of the dishes was lovely (branzino and gnocchi), but the rushed and inattentive service left us feeling undervalued. With plenty of excellent alternatives closer to us (JUN in the Heights, Nobie's in Montrose, Nancy's Hustle in EaDo), we will not be back. read more

Switching in for oysters at the bar. Raw oysters were small but delicious and the red sauce is unique ... not sure what they put in it but wow was it great.

I enjoyed my dinner here. The food was delicious - together with a friend, we had raw oysters and a salad as appetizers, as mains we had the agnolotti, and the fried chicken. For dessert, we had the basque cheesecake (although it was a tad too mushy in texture to my liking). The bread and butter served before our meal started were so yummy! Service was excellent. Parking is complimentary valet only. Atmosphere is lively on a Saturday night, it could be a bit challenging to have a conversation. read more

Our waiter suggested to me the carbonara. It was delicious, as was the hummus appetizer. Thanks, David, for making us feel so welcome. read more

Had a FANTASTIC meal here!!!! We love Bludorn so we were looking forward to trying out this new addition. Parking situation isn't the best. It's either street parking which is limited or $8 for valet parking. We had Maurice as our server and he was great! Super attentive and was so friendly as well. The ambiance was super cute. We started off with the country ham beignets which were very good. For our entrees, we got the duck and the fried chicken. The duck was some of the best we've ever had. It was so tender and cooked perfectly and the skin was extra crispy. It was served with charred yams and mango and man, chef's kiss! That char really made a world of difference. The fried chicken was very good!!! Chicken was super tender and the crunch on the outside was perfect. We weren't crazy about the sauces the chicken was served with (PB gravy, some jam, and chili oil). Maurice brought out some bludorn hot sauce and that hit the spot!! We would have also been happy with plain ketchup lol the fried chicken was served with mashed potatoes and collard greens which complimented the chicken very well. For dessert, we'd recommend the chocolate cake. Really good with the salted caramel and ice cream. We had ordered the matcha tiramisu dessert but it was not good. Wouldn't recommend that dessert. Overall, it was a great experience and we're looking forward to being back! read more

This was my first time dining here, and I discovered it after visiting one of their sister restaurants, Navy Blue. Despite being quite crowded for a Tuesday evening, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The wine selection was impressive, and the variety of cocktails available added a fun touch to the evening with friends. The food was absolutely delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed every dish I tried. It's definitely a place I'd love to revisit. A standout for me was the rolls and butter they serve at the beginning - they were incredible and set the tone for a great meal. read more

Disappointing and a sort of mixed bag. I was very excited to try one of the Bludorn restaurants, but was not blown away. Apparently, my husband received some unwelcome judgy looks from the host stand and felt embarrassed. Outside of that, the service was spectacular with very attentive table service especially for being outside. The mojito was fabulous and refreshing. The steak tartare was confusing with piping hot potatoes and cold tartare. Naturally, horseradish in the tartare is fairly potent and not for the faint of heart. The burger was a massive disappointment. If you are an upscale restaurant, a wagyu patty does not elevate the dish to the 22$ level if you do not have amplifying accompaniments as well. Basically, it being wagyu doesn't mean anything, if it tastes like a normal burger. The duck had a wonderful flavor, but was lukewarm and the skin was rubbery. For the 60$ duck dish, the best part was the cheesy side dish. I love trying new restaurants and new experiences, but I am left with annoyance and horseradish. read more

Arrived for happy hour to enjoy some drinks and small bites, never once was greeted by bartenders. Green coat greeted us with bar menu took our order for drinks. Never once was a happy hour menu given to us. casually enjoyed our drinks, patiently waiting. Other guest arrived and were promptly greeted and served before we ever were asked for another round or anything else for that matter. (drinks were empty, multiple eye contact) As someone who's been in the service industry for 15 years I've never once experienced this lack of interest to serve us. To be perfectly honest we were the only people of color at the bar and I'd hate to throw the race card but it clearly felt we weren't welcome there. Needless to say I would Not show any interest of coming back. read more

My husband and I are a huge original bludorn fan so we wanted to try this new concept that bludorn put out - bar bludorn! The vibes inside are very similar to blu dorn but maybe slightly more casual. The decor is simple, dark woods, and beautiful mid century vibes with an open kitchen and bar in the front. The lychee martini is amazing! We started with raw and baked oysters which both were delicious. We also had steak tar tar which the crispy potatoes complimented really well with and was so good. The pea and fried goat cheese soup was pretty good as well. We all loveddd the Reuben app - aside from the oysters - this was my favorite. Since we went app heavy - my husband and I shared the shrimp maza gnocchi. This was rich and yummy! We shared a Parmesan risotto and tbh this was ok lol. Nothing crazy about this. We overall thought the food was good but not the level of bludorn amazing. The service was pretty attentive although at first we said we wanted regular still water (not expecting bottled) and they came out with bottled since the drink waiter talked in a hushed tone - we weren't sure if he offered regular filtered water as an option. Mid way - we told this to our actual waiter and she switched it. Also - she seemed to have forgotten for a bit that my husband ordered a beer but once we mentioned - it came out soon after. Overall pretty good service but due to a few things - to me bludorn the original is just a better experience! read more

Something I found neat: When you ask to have your leftovers boxed, they bag it in the kitchen and take the bag to the host stand and bring you a small keychain with a number on it that provides your food as you're stepping outside for the car. read more

We had a fabulous dinner at BAR Bludorn last night. Everything was delicious, our server Taylor was great and great vibe. I had the Cascara Old Fashioned which was perfect and together my husband had Snapper, Ora King Salmon, Apple Carrot Ginger Soup, side of mashed potatoes, Gem Lettuce Salad and the Basque Cheesecake, which is leaving the menu after this weekend, unfortunately, it was so good. If you get cold easily, like me (always the coldest person in the room), take a shawl or jacket as it was pretty frigid in there, even though the dining room was full of people. Anyway, all the flavors exceeded expectations making it a memorable meal. read more
