"Sometimes you just want to be taken care of at a capital-R Restaurant, a place with pristine service and food. And that’s why you go to Bar Bludorn in Memorial. The attention to detail here is refined, down to fresh pea tendrils lacing the pasta carbonara, and the dark dining room that's set up like some classy mid-century jazz club with a kitchen for a stage. While no one’s wandering around selling cigarettes, someone is circling with a bread basket full of butter-golden Parker House rolls. And a fleet of servers dropping off caviar and fried chicken in fluid succession at your table. Everything at Bar Bludorn is built for a night when you need to relax, enjoy incredible food, and let someone else take care of you—even if that’s just for dinner." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
