"Verdict: This tavern-style restaurant specializes in all things Americana luxury, like stellar martinis, miniature ham beignets, and service that makes you wonder if you accidentally slipped someone $100. From the tableside bread service to the copper vessels of crispy fried chicken and satin-smooth mashed potatoes, Bar Bludorn in Memorial operates a tight ship. It’s a capital R-restaurant that’s truly worth the $100 you’re about to spend per person." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
