"Chef Aaron Bludorn infuses French and New American fare with an undeniable punch of the Gulf Coast at his namesake restaurant. Begin with oysters — raw, fried, or roasted in smoked butter and lemongrass — then graze on bites like seasonal pepper-jam-ricotta squash blossoms or smoked short-rib ravioli dotted with the salty-sweetness of fig, red onion, and blue cheese.. The lobster pot pie, a Bludorn signature, is a must-try, at least once, but the dry-aged duck, served with rice pilaf, liver mousse, sorghum, and a foie gras jus, is a hit every time. Order the flaming Baked Alaska for two for a showy ending, or indulge in the warm, ricotta-stuffed zeppole served with spiced berry jam and citrus curd. If looking to try another Bludorn restaurant in Montrose, head to Hotel Saint Augustine for Perseid, a French bistro with Houston flavor." - Brianna Griff
