Bloom and Bee

Everything is beautiful. From the chairs, the tables, the light fixtures. Even our server, Madison, was very pretty. This lush-garden inspired restaurant is a great escape from days when  everything is far from coming up roses.

The dining area. Floral theme without looking like a teen girl’s room.

Started with the Hibiscus Margarita, which kept up with the floral theme — pretty. Oh yeah, it’s delicious too!

In their press release, the menu was supposed to be locally-inspired, light, sustainable dishes. To be honest I don’t really quite get what that means, but what we had was delicious.

Let me stop and marvel at the beauty of that steak. If you look closely, you will see how even the crusting is on the outside and the inside is cooked to a perfect medium.

Sabayon is an Italian dessert of sweet sauce made with egg yolks, sugar, and wine beaten together over heat till thick. Wine… cooked as a dessert…say no more!

Because I could not get enough of all the prettiness, I ordered a second drink — Rose Sangria!

The wine list is as good as it gets as it shares  cellar with all other restaurants in property. And like all TIlman Fertitta restaurants, service was impeccable. Don’t wait till you get a chance to be in the Galleria area. Schedule a time to go! It does not disappoint.
