Bloom & Bee

We were discriminated against and I will never step foot here again unless major corrective actions are taken. Where do I begin... Our group of four ladies planned to have our Galentines 2024 dinner here. Unfortunately, the night was essentially ruined after being started on a completely sour note. We were all dressed in color coordinated attire and wanted to take some group photos prior to being seated for our dinner reservation. My son has a camera and came to take our photos. As soon as he got out of the car at valet, we were stopped by someone who identified himself at the manager Terrance. My son's camera could fit in a medium sized purse. There was no tripod or large pieces of equipment. Terrance explained that there was no flash photography and no photo shoots allowed, we could only "take a few photos with your cell phones". His excuse was because they didn't want it to "get out of hand" and "disturb the other guests".I told him that we were here for dinner and just wanted to get a few pictures prior to being seated. We were NOT doing a photo shoot and we wouldn't take more than a couple minutes. He wouldn't budge. I then tried to compromise and told my son to REMOVE the flash attachment from his camera and leave it in the car. That way, there would be no flash going off to disturb any guests. He still refused. Next he says to me "It doesn't matter, I'm pretty sure the hostess still wouldn't allow it". At that point I requested that we walk inside and speak to the hostess, so that I could explain to them and see if they would just let us get a couple pictures. Realizing his mistake, he then quickly changed what he said and now told me that he didn't want to waste my time speaking to the hostess because the answer would be no. Again, trying to compromise, I asked if we could at least just take some photos OUTSIDE of the hotel before going in, again so as not to disturb the guests. He still refused! I was appalled. I've never been treated this way and met with such unyielding, cold, and uninviting service at a place that poses themselves to be a 5-star establishment. Dejected, I went in to have dinner in a less than half full restaurant. (So where were all the guests to be disturbed?!) But lo and behold, while sitting at our table, there was a group of four white women who had a camera, and were taking pictures, INSIDE of the restaurant and WITH A FLASH. Not only that, but there were crying babies while we were dinning on a Saturday night and loud outbursts of groups singing happy birthday at the top of their lungs. All groups who were of a lighter complexion than we were, might I mention. Where was the outrage for flash photography and cameras then? Where was the attention to not disturbing other guests then? I immediately felt racially profiled and discriminated against. I was disgusted with Terrance, his behavior, and his representation of the brand and the company. Unfortunately, we could not get last minute dinner reservations anywhere else so we did dine and spent over $600 for our group. I hate that we gave them a penny of our money or a second of our time, as they showed us immediately upon arrival that we were not welcome and not wanted. After dinner, our waiter was kind enough to take our photos in different locations of the restaurant, with multiple phones, WITH A FLASH. I guess after we spent our money and proved our worthiness the "rule" about flash photography went out of the window. I wonder how that was less disturbing than the group photos we would have taken with no flash and outside of the hotel? Didn't seem at all like this was about the "rules". Oh, and the kicker? After dinner, I did ask the hostess if we could have taken photos with our camera. She kindly told me YES. That their rules about photography are because they don't want any photo shoots, but if we wanted to take a few group photos that would have been fine. Terrance clearly does not belong in the hospitality industry. Either that, or his job is to only be hospitable to certain complexions of guests.

The service was very nice and attentive. Everyone was friendly and polite and willing to serve. The bread was delicious!!! I prefersalted butter but the whipped butter was nice too. And the way the diaplayed it was so cute. The fresh flowers were so pretty. The whole decor was so pleasant. They finished our meal with a glass of champagne for my niece and a personalized dessert.

This place is absolutely stunning!!! I watched a grandmother and her young granddaughter have a fancy brunch together in their Sunday best and that just hit right! It's the perfect place for a perfect tea party. I had the avocado toast which was great and the salad was even better. Hubs had a burger which was ! Highly recommend.

I was really impressed overall. We were sad that they didn't have a brunch menu available on the Sunday we came since we really wanted brunch but we still enjoyed it.All of the food was really good. Loved the pizza, crab cake and fries. The cocktails were fun. My sangria was just ok but the earl great tea drink was amazing. They did a nice job celebrating birthdays at our table.The service was pretty slow at first but later improved. The decor is beautiful and the hotel is just a special and fancy place to celebrate an occasion. I'd go back for sure but would confirm that brunch is actually served on Sundays.

Came here for HRW. The restaurant has nice decor, comfortable seating, indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar and is inside the Post Oak hotel. They also have valet. Our server Vanessa was very attentive and friendly. She checked on us throughout our meal. I opted for the heirloom tomato salad, red fish, and the mouse dome for dessert. I enjoyed the heirloom tomatoes on my salad, there were large croutons and frisse. My friend had the tenderloin burnt ends which were very tasty as well. We were served ciabatta bread and butter after the appetizer. The redfish was cooked well although I thought the couscous was not very flavorful or seasoned well. The pineapple slaw and pickled vegetables were an interesting touch. The mousse dome was nice, slightly sweet and lots of chocolate. I also had a drink, Paula Fay. It was on the sweet side but still delicious.

If you're looking to take your Barbie obsession further, this restaurant helps you. Decked out in pink and other bright, beautiful colors, welcome to Bloom & Bee. Lots of the patrons chose to dress with the theme, I encourage you to do the same!Service was excellent. Our steak was the wrong temp and she quickly rectified the situation. She had great recommendations and everything we ate/drank was delish. We easily spent three hours catching up and it was not that busy on a Saturday.

In our endless quest for the perfect brunch buffet, we decided to stop by to see how things were Post-COVID-19. We didn't have a reservation & were gonna have to sit outside, but two seats were available at the bar. The bartender, Joe, makes amazing cocktails. I had a mocktail and didn't miss the ETOH. There buffet is $65 per person, but it's worth it. You get to order and entrée from the kitchen, but the money maker is the buffet. You have access to ; Caesar/garden salad, fresh sushi rolls, smoked salmon, pickled veggies, premium cheeses and cured meats, chips, salsa, queso, bagels, fresh pastries, parfaits, fresh fruit...to name a few ( pics attached). For this reason, normally get our entrees to go and gorge on the all you can eat deliciousness. Make sure to make a reservation, especially for more than two.... We will definitely add them to our Sunday Brunch rotation. Enter Freely, they've been approved

Been wanting to try this cute place for the longest and it did not disappoint. I came for lunch with a friend of mine and the food, drinks, ambience and service was amazing. This restaurant is nestled inside the Post Oak hotel with valet parking and is located right by the pool. It has outside and indoor seating. It wasn't crowded but was the perfect amount of people, not too loud to where I can't hear my friend talking. I opted for the chicken salad sandwich and a Caesar salad and it was the right amount food and was tasty. I will definitely return.

Brunch here is solid, never tried for fine dining. All seafood and even sushi was great choice, the best vongole that I've tried!Located in post oak hotel, so might have to valet park.

This place is super cute and aesthetic if that's all you care about highly recommend. I went around valentines time (for menu reference). The actual entrees were superb. I wasn't a fan of any of the options they had as appetizers. The drinks were delicious and the bartender was nice enough to come to my table and work with me when I wanted to send a drink back because it was too strong for me. He said he could make anything on or off the menu and he really did! He also came back to make sure I was still liking the drink. The desserts were nice and light and a decent portion size for everybody (4). I will say it was pretty expensive. But it was a fun experience! I do wish they had more options on the menu, but I understand why it's limited. My actual waitress/server wasn't very attentive to our table.
