    Deviled Eggs . Definitely a must!
    Rachele R.

    Plume is situated in the Heights just around the corner from all the other Shady Acre bars. The vibe... honestly it was just ok. Amongst all the other dives it kinda sticks out (the goal?). We went on a weeknight just around 6pm. No crowd, otherwise it's a "no". We had no problem finding parking but.. weeknight. Maybe a return? Nothing really extra special. Except the eggs.. ! The deviled eggs were amazing!

    Thursday night. Soooooo busy on a Thursday night. (7-9pm is when we were there) It is a truly beautiful place but the layout is a bit tragic. Honestly where we were sitting I really could not thoroughly enjoy myself because our backs were facing the bar area and there were so many people who kept on congregating there. That left a very very very thin place to walk through that even the servers had difficulty getting through let alone getting through with food and drinks. I hated it so much. Lmbo. The only thing that kept my mind off of it was my organization. That's it. It was so frustrating and I'm not someone who likes to be touched all the time so everyone touching me and hitting me and pushing me and jerking me it was just aggravating. The layout is terrible. You're fine if you get seating in the couch part facing the bar but other than that.. tragic. The mocktails here are super expensive. $12 for maybe three to four sips is a travesty. I tried: MOTHER OF MOCKTAILS: Dragonfruit, Mango, Lime, Pebble Ice. We asked them to make them look super festive and they were quite beautiful. And absolutely delicious. 9 out of 10. KYOTO GLOW SPRITZ Seedlip 108, Pineapple, Yuzu, Ginger, Lionsmane, Allulose, Topped with Topo. This was a huge disappointment. Beautiful to look out but absolutely disgusting. They were asking me what it tasted like and I said old stale coconut water with a hint of overripe pineapple. Gag. 1/10 (and that one point is for presentation only because it was a pretty drink) We ordered some appetizers. The one that I tried was:Cheese & Charcuterie Board A spread of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and seasonal accompaniments. 5/10. Nothing special. A pretty basic charcuterie board. But it was beautifully displayed. Overall ... I would like to try some items on their advance menu and the rest of the mocktails because I don't want to judge based on my experience last night.

    I went here for happy hour before going to dinner with the girls for a birthday. We were seated right away, and there is a parking lot. We ordered a mixture of happy hour options. There's almost a pre-happy hour, and a regular happy hour. So if you get there early enough, there are some additional specials. All of our drinks were really good, but I especially like the espresso martini. I would definitely go back for happy hour. I'd say just to check their menu menu for the specials and happy hour times in advance.

    Popped by this new-ish cocktail bar and lounge on a Sunday evening (holiday weekend) before our dinner reservation which was also in the neighborhood. We arrived around 6pm and snagged a table in the bar area. The bar has a DJ on site and a fun vibe but service was a little on the slow side. We had to ask for our table to be wiped down because it was super sticky and no one came to take our order for almost 15 minutes. She was very apologetic and acknowledged that they were understaffed at the moment but there was also only one other table and maybe 4-6 at the bar when we arrived. My husband liked his espresso martini but said that the inclusion of licor 43 wasn't his favorite. We didn't order any food but if we had come after dinner instead of before I for sure would have ordered the chocolate truffles from Mostly Chocolates which is my favorite chocolate spot in town. We don't live in the area so I'm not sure that we will be back often but this seems like a really fun place to come with girlfriends or go to late night.

    Best bar with amazing bar tender! Went during happy hour and loved the meatballs, espresso martini, and old fashioned. During HH (Tues-Fri 4-6p), these are only $10. The vibe of the restaurant and bar area is luxury meets friendly and we can't wait to go back ! Oh... and the restrooms are really cool !

    This place is a vibe! The drinks/food was amazing and the bartenders were very friendly. This is a hidden gem in Houston, and I highly recommend.

    Came to Plume with my girlfriends on a Thursday evening. This place is very nice and classy. Upon arrival we were greeted by the doorman and he asked if we had a reservation. We didn't and he directed us to the tables that had not been reserved. Our waitress was very nice and gave us a rundown of the menu. We enjoyed a few options and of course indulged in the cocktails. The price point ranged from $14 to $20 for food and drinks.

    Hello Old Friend - rye whiskey- 5/5

    Hollywood decadence and Art Deco meets Southern hospitality and Houston modern flair. I may not have made it to be an A-List Hollywood actor, but visiting Plume made me feel like I did. I haven't had this much fun from a first visit to anywhere. When I say run, I mean shower, throw on your business casual or dress to impress garments and arrive safely in style! Great for groups, date night or solo wanderer. I was only staying for one drink, but below you'll determine what happened as I became the main character, made new friends, while enjoying the night and having a great time. Ambiance: 5/5 With its elevated Hollywood decadence mixed with southern hospitality, this place makes you feel like the movie star of your story. With complimentary valet available, who doesn't enjoy that? (Recommendation, bring cash to tip the valet, they definitely earned it.) Dress code is business casual. Sorry but leave the flip flops and athletic wear at home. I haven't even gotten inside and I am already feeling like a star. Upon entering, you are immersed in the sights of regal and opulence with this nights musical vibes that seemed to come off my (EDM) playlist which of course I thoroughly enjoyed! I also might have Shazamed a couple of songs to add to my list. Thanks. I got to sit at my favorite part of the bar, the corner but also at the main entry. I got to see and experience it all. I was definitely meant to stop in this day. They also have a small outdoor area at the entry with cocktail tables and minimal seating if you need to step away from all the fun for a bit. Also recommend making reservations if you're wanting a table, as it can get busy and also makes the visit seamless and like you're on the red carpet. Service/Food: 5/5 I didn't have food, though they do offer it and also have brunch, which I'll have to return for. This visit was solely bespoke drinks by libations experts Joel, Kiana and Alex. The three of them went above and beyond to make sure my experience was 10's across the board. They refilled my water regularly and remembered my name. When I stepped away to the water closet, they placed a napkin on my drink. Below are the few drinks I tried and each one was curated to indulge the taste buds and leave you wanting more. Balanced and full of flavor for each cocktail as they were artisanally crafted. Clover Club - a simple, yet sophisticated gin based drink, while I'm usually not a fan of egg white, you don't taste the egg the raspberry syrup and lemon pair so well you finish and got a shot of protein. See mom, I may drink, but also get my protein in! Old Fashioned - my usual go to and favorite, good old friend, old fashioned. Balanced flavor with rye whiskey, good if you like whiskey and can't decide on their vast cocktail offerings. Espresso Martini - when you need a pick me up from having worked hard or just enjoy a boozy espresso, can never go wrong with this. Rich & Dirty - fancy vodka martini, I probably could've asked to use gin, but left it as the menu had it. And it has blue cheese olives, very fancy and delicious! Fall N' Apple - my favorite season (autumn) in a glass with my favorite spirit, gin! I want more! Eastsider - I don't believe it's on the menu, I've never had one, but spirits architect, Joel, graciously made me one and that drink was like summer in a glass. Keeping with my gin libation love, it was refreshing and just rounded out how well the fine cocktail curators at Plume know their stuff. Thank you! To finish the night, the manager, Chris, was walking around interacting with everyone. Got to talk to him for a bit and appreciated him and his staff for making my experience at Plume unforgettable. So much so, I'm ready to return and maybe become a regular to what I believe is truly an exceptional cocktail lounge.

    Tried out the date night, 2 pasta dishes and a bottle of wine for $50. I had the portabella mushroom pasta and my partner had the creamy cajun pasta, both were very good!! The service is always so good here, from bartenders to wait staff. Definitely worth checking out, the food, drinks and service never disappoint.

    So we went for a girls night on Friday night and let me tell you it was not packed so perfect for me! Dj was great with house music. It's an upscale bar in the Heights super neighborhood, friendly with complementary valet, I'm in my mocktail era and these were amazing! I got the naked in paradise

    Walking into Plume feels like stepping into Old Hollywood glam.The interior is glam and velvet seating, rich jewel tones, and metallic accents give it a very luxurious, fashion-forward vibe. The peacock-feather motif is woven throughout, adding a whimsical yet elegant touch. Perfect for a date night or a night out with your girls. This is very much a cocktail-lounge-first establishment. The mixology is creative and playful and so very delicious!! The food menu is tapas-style, meant to pair with drinks. You'll find small bites like meatballs in a chipotle ragout, bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with blue cheese, papas bravas, and deviled eggs. Which by the way were very tasty! It's not just a place to grab a drink -- it's a destination. Whether you want to sip cocktails in a glamorous setting, enjoy a laid-back themed brunch, or dance into the night with friends, Plume delivers for sure!! From the moment you arrive and you sit down, you are very much welcomed and also treated with the upmost amazing customer service! Definitely going back there soon! Cheers!!

    Plume is a very cute LA or Miami esque decorated restaurant. All we need is oalm trees outside and we'd be in another land. We went here for my friends birthday yesterday. We are an hour shy of the 4 or 5 o clock Saturday Happy Hour which offered 6 or 8 dollar drinks. The mon happy hour price is 15-22 a drink. The bartenders and waitresses were very nice and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. Everything was decorated sooo cute. They don't really have a food food menu just small bites such as tuna, charcuterie, small potatoes and meatballs. I got the meatballs. The sauce was sooo good but the meatballs tasted kind of like the meat out of the ravioli can so I wouldn't try those again. The potatoes were good! The drinks were good too. I will be back for the weekday and early Saturday Happy Hour!

    Decided to give plume a try for an impromptu girls night out, and I wasn't disappointed. The decor is gorgeous to say the least- very much a modernistic art deco vibe. The staff is really sweet and inviting. We originally were sat at a table but chose to move to the bar. Every recommendation was a 10/10 - drinks and food. Love that you get a free shot of your choice on Thursday if it's your birthday season, and thankfully I was able to celebrate Virgo season with a girl crush shot which was sooo good we had to order another round! We also tried the porn start martini, the lychee lemon drop martini, and the London fog Carajillo- amazinggggg! Shoutout to AJ! I know Houston is inundated with cocktail bars popping up left and right, but I really hope this one is around for the long haul. Its not pretentious and they actually make you feel wanted there - go figure. I definitely want to return on a night where it's a little bit more of a bigger crowd but overall 10/10 without a doubt.

    Does this place have any door people at the entrance?

    Yes we do! Chad will mainly be the door guy on duty! There are some hours that we do not have a door guy, but he's there probably 70% of the time, and always during the busy hours.

Food was decent, definitely a fun spot for a casual night out prior to checking out all the bars on the same street Not So Good: - $20 for parking is a bit of a turnoff. Most restaurants, especially on busy streets, still offer complimentary parking or validation. This felt a little out of place. - Automatic 20% gratuity for a table of two was unexpected, especially given that service wasn't particularly great. I usually tip 20% anyway, but it's worth mentioning, especially for those who might not catch it and end up double tipping (like I have in the past). I live nearby, so I'll definitely give them another shot soon after they've had some time to settle in and will try some of their cocktails. Hopefully, the next visit earns that 5th star instead of losing more.

We love elevated tapas style restaurants so we had to see what it was all about! Unfortunately, the food just didn't wow me at all. It was fine, but fine doesn't cut it for this price. Food: - Duck Liver: 6/10 I LOVE pate so this one was extra disappointing. They pureed it so much that it lost all texture and was like a butter. If that was the only thing off, it would be fine. But the other flavors in there just didn't work for me. The sweetness and oiliness that they added were too overpowering that I could hardly taste the liver itself. The bread was great though. - Elk Tartare: 10/10 I'm not the biggest fan of tartare but this was the best tartare I've ever had and the best dish of the night! The sunflower cracker was amazing; it gave a nice toasty nutty flavor that contrasted with the yuzu underneath. I love all the different textures going on in this dish, which is why I like it better than other tartares which tend to be only chewy/slimy/wet. - Maitake: 8/10 Cooked really nicely. Perfectly crisp and flaky. Just a little too sour for me. - Okra: 7/10 The Gouda sauce was interesting but the okra itself was nothing special. It was nicely roasted and charred. - Pork chop: 6/10 As the main dish of the night, this was quite disappointing. No interesting flavors whatsoever. You can't really taste the chamomile dusting unless you lick it directly. The jowl that they spread on top didn't taste like anything distinct. In fact, I didn't like the texture of it because it was crunchy in a way that felt like I was crunching through little bits of tiny bone... - Basque cheesecake: 9/10 The dessert rounded out the evening nicely. Solid cheesecake. No complaints. Service: Honestly too "attentive" to the point that it was annoying and disruptive. They would interrupt us every 10 minutes it felt like. And the food came out pretty slowly.

I loved how they served it in waves and not all at the same time. It felt more like a culinary experience. We had the cucumber salad which is a must. Followed by corn, which is good and totally unlike anything I've ever had before. Then the red fish which was sooooo good. Then the pork shoulder with coconut rice and together that was to die for.

I was really excited to eat here, but ultimately my experience did not live up to the restaurant's reputation. The first two courses on the tasting menu were fantastic (highly recommend the gulf shrimp aguachile and fried head cheese), but every other dish afterwards either lacked textural variety or well rounded flavor. The tamale course was overly soft to the point of mushiness, the carrots course was overwhelmingly spicy for our whole table, and we all agreed that most of the other courses were too salty. Service was friendly, but the courses were rolled out with VERY inconsistent timings (ranging anywhere between 5 minutes to over 25 minutes of waiting in between finishing one course and receiving the next). Our waiter also forgot to bring us our boxed leftovers even after I had reminded him for it while paying for the check. The experience was somewhat worthwhile but I left the restaurant wishing I could have treated our mothers to a smoother experience. - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 2/5 - Service: 3/5

Order-to-Appetizer: 15 Minutes Order-to-Entrees: 30 MInutes For three people, we ordered: Dairymaid's Cheese Board (4/5): Comes with four cheeses, five small pieces of sourdough, honey-spritzed grapes, green Granny Smith apples, and fava beans. I wish they gave us more bread with the cheeses and preserves. The four cheeses provided were slices of a five-year aged Cheddar, Oveja Anejo, Tomarashi, and Gruyere. I enjoyed the Tomarashi the most. It is a bit pricey for what you get, but very sharable and a great starter. Shady Acres Pizza with prosciutto (3.5/5): I really don't like getting thin crust pizza that isn't crispy, and unfortunately this was a soggy thin crust pizza. The toppings themselves were very flavorful, and the end parts were crispy enough. 5 Cheese Calzone with chicken (3.5/5): Whew, five cheeses makes for a salty calzone. The side marinara sauce provides a good balance. It's very filling. Chicken might have been a good addition because prosciutto might have made it too salty. It was larger than expected which was nice for sharability. Service was kind of iffy. They were pretty rude with not providing us utensils and seeming almost angry that we asked for some for the cheese board. They mixed up our order (we asked for chicken on the pizza and prosciutto on the calzone and they flipped it) and seemed almost apologetically serving us afterwards. Overall, would recommend as a relaxed date spot at a reasonable price. I paid via inKind and applied referral credit with no issues. Would come back with inKind credit, probably not at full price.
