"When you want to celebrate with a bottle of grower champagne, some of the best fried chicken in town, and service that makes you wonder if you accidentally dropped $100, go to Bar Bludorn. The attention to detail at this American tavern is obvious, down to the little silver garnish picks and servers walking around the classy mid-century room with baskets of warm Parker House rolls. Bar Bludorn offers all things Americana comfort, like stellar martinis, steak tartare with crispy hashbrowns, and rich, warm chocolate cake. Request one of the booths on the wall so you can watch the pageantry during an all-out meal. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
