Went to celebrate Valentine's Day! The ambiance is very cozy and intimate for dinner time and they have some outdoor sittings as well as bar sittings. The food was phenomenal. Everything was delicious and would love to come back again. The staff were very professional and cordial as well! read more

Found this gem through the Bludorn group. There's street parking and valet available. We were greeted by a lovely hostess and seated at a cozy corner booth. The restaurant is stunning; tables are nicely spaced out, unlike many places that cram seating together to the point where you're practically exchanging elbow grease. Our server, Andy, was wonderful: warm, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the Loretto and Walk in the Park cocktails; the Loretto was fantastic. For the apps, we shared the Escargot en Vol-au-Vent and a Caesar Salad. The escargot is a MUST get, it felt like being reintroduced to your first pâté chaud. The sauce and the pastry were perfect. The mains, the Roasted Duck Breast was very good. I loved the red quinoa it came with, and although I was worried the fig might overpower the dish, it ended up being perfectly balanced. The Bolognese, Caesar Salad, and dessert were all solid as well //hard to mess up. Oh, and they have bread service! Overall, a lovely experience. I'd definitely come back to try the other dishes that made choosing so difficult. :') read more

Was able to visit Perseid recently to celebrate my birthday. Really enjoyed the new restaurant and its surroundings! Perseid is the hotel restaurant, but it's not a lobby restaurant by any means. It sits on the ground floor of a separate block of hotel rooms. So you really get the best of both worlds - the leisurely, non-rushed feel of dining at a hotel but without the "where is my airport Uber!" "I want an upgrade!" noise of a big city hotel. Food and drink were really great. The whiskey-based Loretto was great as the different items came out. After the complementary bread and butter, I ordered the smoked salmon dip and the wild boar bolognese. My partner went with the cauliflower soup and hanger steak. While French inspired, the menu offers a lot of variety and great flavors all around. For dessert, the eclair is pretty much art. It was probably my least favorite item from a taste perspective (a little dry) but it sure was eyecatching. Service had a slow start but was really good once it kicked in. We thought there might have been a timing issue with the kitchen as our apps were somewhat rushed away to bring out the entrees seconds later. Still, the team contributes to creating a great experience. Despite minor hiccups, I'll absolutely be back. A great combo of a neighborhood spot with hotel dynamics. Pro tip: they have valet but you might find it easier/freer to just park on a nearby street. read more

Came back for dinner with friends and to try the full breadth of the menu. The service was wonderful and super attentive throughout our meal and the ambiance of the restaurant is upscale and romantic. It was restaurant week but we opted to order off the regular menu. Everything we ate was really amazing but the standouts to me were the tomato risotto and the pork chop. The risotto was truly special and the tomatoes were really able to shine. I am already looking forward to coming back and seeing what the fall menu updates will bring. read more

The ambience here is lovely. With large windows to look into the courtyard of the hotel with all its concrete and greenery and water features, it sets the mood. We were here for an early Sunday dinner summertime, so the light outside carried through. We tried several appetizers and a few large plates. Highlights for me were the squash blossom and the salmon dip. The Caesar salad was solid. My least favourite was the crawfish sausage...felt it was a bit one note with acid being forward. For the mains- the wild boar bolognese was homey and luscious. I actually really enjoyed the Snapper as well. Least favourite here for me was the pork chop. Desserts- how could we not! The crème brûlée with its tropical bits was just right, and the chocolate entremet was moist and well balanced! Service was good and somewhat humerous - though I did notice we had to keep asking for water top ups. All in all- I think it's a great and pretty place with solid food. They have Valet by the main entrance but you can also park on the side streets and use the side entrances during the day time. read more

Cute brunch spot. We went on a Sunday and it was not too busy. Highly recommend the pancake, it is huge so we split it for the table. We will definitely be coming back to try the dinner! read more

Brunch is typically a "nice to have" for me. I love the concept as a meal to enjoy with friends, but, tbh, my expectation of the food, itself, is usually meh. In fact, when I think of brunch, I always want to go with the lavish brunch buffet, so that I can try many things. Maybe that's the reason for the expectations of mid. And it's precisely why I was so surprised with brunch at Perseid. When sharing my thoughts with my chef sister, I enthusiastically reported that every single dish I tried, without exception, was outstanding. Not just good. OUTSTANDING. Here's how it all played out..: I tried a bite of the very thick bacon from my friend's husband's sandwich, and it was dream bacon. Steak, but bacon. The giant pancakes were placed in the center of the table to be shared by all, and we devoured them: fluffy, tender, kissed with citrus butter and perfected by maple syrup. My entree was the beef short rib and eggs. WOW. Was that Wagyu? I'm pretty sure it was Wagyu. Exquisitely marbled and flavorful. The sunny side up egg provided richness to the perfectly seasoned mushrooms, and the potato pave was a delicious work of art. Even amongst all that perfection, what truly blew my mind? The OTHER potatoes. Someone at the table ordered a side of potatoes, and they were, by and large, the very best restaurant potatoes I've ever eaten. They were miraculously perfect: garlicky, buttery, and oh so crispy! So, so crispy. Unbelievably crispy. But the inside is exactly what you hope for: a bit of tenderness to remind you you're not eating a potato chip but, rather, a hearty, throughly satisfying potato dish. Place all of this deliciousness inside a beautiful dining room (modern nature-inspired decor: shades of green and wood) with large windows welcoming natural light, and you have brunch perfection. Oh yes. I'll definitely, absolutely be back. read more

Perseid - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

We had a lovely experience at Perseid -- from the aesthetic to the food.. top notch! Let's start with the space -- located inside the new Hotel Saint Augustine which is beautiful. Not your traditional hotel vibe (think compound/tulumbut in a good way) so the restaurant is really in its own cute little space versus like a lobby. The food -- top notch. Wasn't a thing that was less than perfect. Pick your favorite and enjoy! The drinks -- I had an equivalent to a Japanese old fashioned and it was awesome. drink up! Service -- knowledgeable, attentive without being overburdening. I love chill but good service! Parking -- the hotel offers valet which is discounted to I believe $10 for dinner guests. There was ample street parking on a saturday night as an option. Overall very consistent with the quality you would expect from Bludorn. Book your resy and enjoy! read more

The staff experience at Perseid was much better than the food experience. I was joyfully greeted and sat at the bar which was gratefully upgraded from the intense patio heat. The bartenders were prompt and made tasty drinks. We ordered the fig blossoms and the duck terrine to start. The deep fried blossoms were faintly present mixed in with the shrimp & but the creole aioli was overly salty (which would be a constant theme of the night unfortunately). The duck terrine was a tasteless amalgam that reminded me of a grandmother's jelly mold. The accompanying fluffy biscuit & fig jam were the stars. We got the red snapper and wild boar bolognese for entrees. The snapper was cooked to perfection with a crispy skin but the dreaded over salt appears again in the pine nut gremolata. (Maybe the sauce guy was having a bad night). The wild boar bolognese was great! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the bolognese was full of flavor. The service was top notch but overall the food did not catch up. The Bludorn group needs to pop in this kitchen for quality control among the numerous restaurant offerings. read more

Perseid is located in the Saint Augustine hotel. This a tiny hotel restaurant with outside seating. There is plenty of windows and natural lighting . We had reservations and were seated right away. We both ordered the shrimp and grits. The portions were just right the food was delicious and the pricing was standard or slightly lower for that class of restaurants. The servers were attentive. The only thing you should be aware of is they do not take cash. I left a cash tip, so make sure you bring your credit card. read more

Quite the adorable restaurant surrounded by the beautifully minimalist & modern Hotel Saint Augustine. Vibe is modern with a touch of 70s flair. Came for a quick lunch with the hubby, and enjoyed our food. We had the cauliflower soup, frisée & arugula salad, tuna tartine, and the blackened redfish. Everything was perfect; my favorite was the cauliflower soup, which was the best I've ever had in my life! I'd definitely love to come for a dinner. Lovely atmosphere and quick, friendly service. read more

I had the good fortune of enjoying brunch at this location recently. Everything was stellar!! Juston, the valet, was courteous and helpful. He reminded us to get our tickets validated to reduce the cost of parking or car. Michael, the manager was personable and professional. He made suggestions that enhanced our visit. Our waiter was Mario and one could not ask for a better waiter!! The food was delicious and the ambience was beautiful and comfortable. Many friends had eaten here recently and highly recommended it, I'm so glad I took the recommendation. Reservations are suggested. read more

You're at a wedding for a couple you don't really know. Thankfully they sit you next to someone nice who you make small talk with. The bread is kind of stale, but you don't care because you haven't eaten in so many hours. Of course the steak entree is better than the fish. They have a dessert table but the wedding cake is the real star of the night. You're happy for the newlyweds because love is great, but you know you probably won't see them again. In summary, service was good. My server was personable and gave honest recommendations. The food came out kind of slow given that I came right at opening, and no one was there until the middle of my meal. I ordered one appetizer, two entrees, and three desserts. Of those items I would recommend the escargot, hanger steak, and chocolate cake. The food really reminds me of wedding food. It flirts between okay and good depending on the dish. read more

We wanted to find a good meal and a pulse in Houston. The St. Augustine Hotel was a beautiful place with a clean modern feel. Perseid was a fine dining experience on a Tuesday afternoon. We shared a BLT and a house burger. The BLT was made with pork belly and the burger was topped with duck liver that rivaled some of the best Foie gras I've had--before I knew it was not cool to eat foie gras. It was our anniversary week so the waiter treated us to pistachio ice cream and a berry cream filled eclair. They were not busy so they let us hang out most of the afternoon. It was a lovely day with delicious food in a beautiful setting. read more

We had a good brunch at Perseid, which is the new Bludorn restaurant located in the new Hotel Saint Augustine in Montrose. When you walk up, the hotel complex is very different, modern, and pretty--very Montrose. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the service was perhaps a bit slow but very nice and friendly. For brunch, I had the traditional eggs breakfast, with eggs, breakfast potatoes, bacon, and a little salad. It was very nice, very traditional. I took a bite of my friend's pancakes, and they were delicious (although I'll note they were a bit undercooked and still battery in the middle). Overall, a lovely new spot and nice addition to Montrose. read more

Love love love ! Inside a Hotel Augustine ! Service was impeccable and food was on point. Cauliflower soup ... you wouldn't think to get it but you should 10/10. So creamy with some added surprises. Redfish , wow , 11/10. Wild boar bolognese very nice - even the small was a decent portion 8.5/10. Finally the chocolate cake 11/10 - it was just real deal choc cake with yummy coffee ice cream and nice crunch. read more

The Bludorn group has done it again! Perseid felt like effortless excellence. Beautiful ambiance, top notch and attentive service, and the food was delicious! We especially enjoyed the squash blossoms, Caesar, escargot, boar bolognese, and passion fruit crème brûlée. The bread and butter service was also excellent. The location is also really cool. Located in the St Augustine which is a beautiful contemporary hotel with a buzzing lounge and bar and visually pleasing aesthetic. We'll be back! read more

This review was for a last year after being open for a few months. I have searched for Best New Restaurants in Houston and Eater recommended the restaurant. I liked the pictures, the menu and had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. We weren't able to get reservations but I'm glad we didn't and sat at the bar. We had Caitlyn as our bartender/server. She was superb! We enjoyed chatting with her. Decor and ambience was nice. We also enjoyed our food. But Caitlyn was made the difference. Definitely recommend! read more

Perseid kept us at the seat of our chairs. Not knowing what to expect, thinking that it's just one of those..... BOY OH BOY!!!! I was amazed by the flavor of the food. This is absolutely an A To Z restaurant. Sometimes you go to a restaurant and not all dishes is great. Perseid dished will give you an ah moment from soup(carrot soup ), salad, appetizer, entree to desserts. One of the best Beignets(light and airy), eclair, and ice creams. We are very Foodie and we gave this restaurant 100/10 from food, service, ambiance and the hand soap in the restroom excellent!!! read more

we had another wonderful date night at Perseid. being part of/housed in a hotel is a 6/7 experience. on one hand, the restaurant is open most of the time (unlike others who close monday/tuesday; other hand--many travellers steer clear of hotel restaurants. the service was polished and attentive. my companion had the branzino with peppers, and i had the corn risotto. both dishes were way exceptional. one should not be afraid to try new (to them) dishes--the corn risotto was and excellent choice. wine choices good and seating outside is available. read more

The place is gorgeous inside and out. Can't wait to come back in daytime to see the incredible light that bathes the interiors. Amazing design qualities throughout. Service was top notch. Server Julia was a delight. Everyone was super friendly. The food we ordered was great, primarily starters. The leek vinaigrette was good but the smoked salmon dip and Caesar salad were fantastic. Our dessert of chocolate eclair was over the top great! Wish there were more entree options. This place has a great future! read more

While the food was very good, the service was somewhat disappointing. We came for lunch on a weekday and the restaurant was not busy; there were relatively few people seated. Yet we had to wait for some time before someone came to seat us. Our water glasses were not refilled unless we specifically asked. After we started our main courses, neither the server nor a manager came by to even ask us how the food was; and this is despite the restaurant being only a quarter full. After we finished and were leaving, the person in front did not bother to say good bye or thank us for coming. Very surprising behavior for an upscale restaurant. read more

Had an extremely disappointing experience last night. We had an 8:00 pm reservation but weren't seated until 8:30. After being seated, we didn't even have a server for another 20 minutes; only after flagging someone down ourselves. To make matters worse, several menu items were unavailable . We were told the kitchen was backed up and food would take about an hour, so we asked for bread; which they had also ran out of. When we explained we had tickets to an event, and asked if anything could be expedited, the manager came over and offered no clear solution or sense of urgency. Meanwhile, we asked about the drinks we ordered 20 minutes prior; the order was never sent to the bar. There was a clear lack of communication, and more importantly a lack of care; one seemed interested in resolving the situation. Poor experience from start to finish. If I could give 0 stars, I would read more

It's not always easy to find a cozy place for Sunday dinner. Perseid is newly opened and beautiful. The food was excellent: from the cauliflower soup, to the tuna Tartine, duck frites, and oh my the gnocchi. Asia, our server, was also excellent. Highly recommend Perseid -- the best of the Bludorn Restaurant Group IMO. read more

I Jace been to Perseid twice. The service was spectacular. The food was amazing, I find this restaurant innovative and top notch. I've never even liked a restaurant that has been associated with a hotel, but this was done dining with a hotel built around it in an open and free way. No monstrosity of a tower small houses. I honestly can't say enough positive things from my experiences. Not to mention they have a Hi-Fi listening bar, I used to love doing to these in Japan I'm glad that they have hopped the pond. I look forward to many more visits. read more

Amazing 10/10 overall ! This is our new brunch spot .. food was good and service was great

Good ambience. Unfortunately service was poor. We had to wait quite some time to place our order. Needed to ask for our water to be refilled repeatedly. About 10 minutes after the appetizer was cleared, we were informed that there was a "five minute" delay with our entrees as the kitchen was behind. We waited at least 20 minutes after that to receive our entrees. Food arrived at room temperature. We skipped dessert since the whole process was so painfully long. read more

Menu is fairly limited, as well as a no name wine list, which neither Sommelier at our table recognized ANY of the wines. Food was enjoyable, not memorable. They were short staffed, so service, while kind, was slow, and not acceptable. Outside dining was delightful(except for lack of service). We had to move outside, because inside was intolerably loud,not a good vibe, just LOUD! May try again,but not in any rush to return. The Bludorn touch is not here, so don't expect that level of quality. read more

Wow what a cool place with even better food. I saw it had the same chefs as Bludorn and knew we had to try it out. Our servers Julie and Jesus were awesome and very helpful with recommendations. The place is kind of hidden. But wow the food was outstanding. From the cocktails to the complimentary bread, entrees and desserts it was all amazing. I had the carrot soup which was perfectly balanced along with the small order of potato gnocchi which had an awesome sauce. My mother had the blackened redfish which had an awesome garlic hoisin sauce. I enjoyed the low key vibe of the place. And the eclair for dessert was perfect with our espresso and coffee. I would love to come back. Glad we were able to come before it became too popular/packed. read more

Can't say enough how much I enjoyed the whole evening. From the valet, to the maitre de, bartender and wait staff. They were all gracious and accommodating . The ambience was very nice and maybe a little loud but could carry a conversation.The food was divine. I loved Th Coq au Vin (didn't leave a drop of sauce with that yummy bread). The amounts were just perfect. The Frisée and Arugula salad delicious. The chocolate cake with salted caramel and coffee ice cream was decadent and wel worth the calories. Definitely going back! read more
