Jewish Herald-Voice Praises Perseid as French Bistro Gem Shining Bright in Montrose
In a glowing review, Jewish Herald-Voice writer Russell Weil celebrated Perseid as a "culinary constellation rising over Montrose," praising the modern French bistro at Hotel Saint Augustine for its exceptional food, glamorous atmosphere, and impeccable service. The review declares Perseid "something special" and highlights how chef Aaron Bludorn's latest concept sets a new bar for hotel dining in Houston.
Weil describes the restaurant's evocative 1920s Parisian supper club aesthetic—rich black palette with glimmers of gold, vintage mirrors, velvet-lined banquettes, and views of the tranquil hotel courtyard. He praises standout dishes including the Augustine Burger with duck liver mousse, the Tuna Tartine with bottarga and Castelvetrano olives, and the Chicken Paillard with fingerling potatoes and piperade. The review calls the Chocolate Entremet "a silky, multilayered showstopper" and declares brunch "Perseid's hidden superpower."
The feature emphasizes the restaurant's exceptional service, with staff described as "warm, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive," reflecting the Bludorn group's deep hospitality roots. Weil notes that Perseid "doesn't just rest on the laurels of its culinary lineage; it builds on it," offering an elevated experience whether for romantic dinners, power brunches, or leisurely meals before visiting the nearby Menil Collection.
