    Cigars
    Macey M.

    Ambiance: Upscale cigar lounge off The Waterway with lounge seating, amazing cocktails/wine, & open patio. Perfect spot for a date night, celebration, or nice evening off The Waterway. I love their cigar selection room - several cigar options/pricing to choose from! Well-decorated aesthetic. I usually stop in for a post-dinner drink & cigar! Street & garage parking available. Exceptional service & knowledgeable staff. I've had some amazing conversations with other patrons here.

    The place makes the BEST blackened steak I've ever tasted. I'm not even a huge steak person but the filet mignon blackened with rosemary potato's is delicious! My husband is a big cigar fan and wanted to try this place. You cannot bring outside cigars. Our first time here we sat outside of the patio, there is a fountain and a plethora of chairs to choose from out there with TV's too. I chose the chicken pasta dish while my husband ordered the filet blackened. After me nearly devouring his steak lol I've faithfully ordered this meal every time we come here. Sometimes they offer a special where the meal includes a cigar. If ordering off the menu you get the chance to go pick it yourself inside. The waiters are very courteous, it's usually an older gentlemen who takes care of us outside he does a great job. This is a great place to smoke a cigar, grab a good bite to eat and relax.

    We are thrilled to have stumbled upon a fantastic cigar lounge that also boasts a fully stocked bar! And to top it off, they even serve delicious food. Count us in! We have become regular visitors of the Blend Bar and have always been treated to top-notch service. While we typically don't indulge in their food offerings, today we decided to give it a shot, and boy, were we blown away! The food exceeded our expectations in every way. The lounge provides multiple areas where you can enjoy your cigar. There's the elegant section with wingback chairs and luxurious leather couches, the lively bar area with the usual tables and chairs where you can catch a game while savoring your smoke, or you can opt for the serene outdoor space by the water fountain or cozy fire pit. And if the weather turns chilly, fret not, as they have an abundance of patio heaters to keep you warm and snug. This establishment is simply amazing. While I personally would appreciate a wider selection of cigars, the fact that they offer Davidoff Cigars is impressive! Having a place that caters to all our needs is a win in my book. However, if you prefer, I believe you can always bring your own cigars along. I have, but I always ask if I can smoke it first. Of course boo gets their best selection so it pays off.

    Extremely friendly staff that was literally on top of every need I had before I even asked! Phenomenal selection of allocated bourbon and scotches! Top-notch cigars and the humidor, especially the Davidoff. The food here is on par to be some of the best I have ever had especially their steak! The atmosphere was very welcoming, and the exhaust system was amazing! The place was full, but you couldn't tell that it was full of smoke because it was being drawn out as such an amazing rate!

    Steak night! Glass of wine and a cigar and a steak with potatoes. Chefs kiss!

    Complete royalty experience. Everyone of the staff was amazing and helpful. A bunch of of us. Friends came out to check out blend bar because we had never been and completely loved the experience. Steak night, which was a glass of wine steak and a cigar all for under $50 and that is a steal. 1 10/10 recommend!! the staff thereThgo completely out of their way to make sure your experience is amazing. I saw some complimentary Charro beans that I did not get a try but excited to come back and check them out.

    This is a wonderful place to get some food, a drink and a nice cigar. Or simply a place to just go to relax from the hot Texas heat! Let's be real, Blend Bar is not a place for your average Joe. You need some $ and you will be spending some $$$! It was my first time visiting with my brother in law who lives in town. Wonderful selection of Davidoff cigars. Great drinks and excellent customer service. Lots of comfortable seating including the bar. They made you feel like home and glad that you came in! Now that's what I call some good Texas hospitality!

    Communing with nature.

    If you want a cigar bar without all the ostentatious splendor but still exudes sophistication in its simplicity then Blend is the spot. A place to take out of town business associate/friends, a late night indulgence of a cigar and spirits, date night or just a place to chill this place will not disappoint from its highback, supportive chairs to the patio lounge area Blend's layout flows from the casual group seating to quiet conversations in a corner between friends sitting in plush velvet seating. If you want to take it up a notch try to find the hidden room for when you need some privacy. The last time I went, the cigar selection was somewhat limited due to the hurricane interfering with deliveries but they should be back to full stock at the time of this post. Their filtration system is top notch as in you will not see clouds of smoke billowing in the air and you will not leave from the inside with a smoky smell on your clothing. Look forward to a sip and smoke soon!!!

    I'm only giving them a 3/5 because they didn't have many options to the humidor. The selections that remain are pretty mild other than the Camacho. If you know your smokes I'm sure you'd feel the same due to not having the selections. But some things to highlight was the service and conversation from different guest. Very friendly environment. I'd give them another shot with hopes of more smoke selections.

    Enjoying a nice Old fashioned
    Edgar R.

    Love love this place , always a good selection of cigars and the food is definitely delicious too. The place may be a cigar place but is not strong you can actually enjoy the food . The place is NOT GHETTO, Trashy is more of the high end . Good place to go after a meeting , golf tournament , classy date

    Ceasar salad.. delicious
    MsToya H.

    This place is so sexy and sophisticated. Excellent cigar choices at all price points, including some exclusives. I came here to celebrate my 50th birthday, and Chris was so sweet. I plan on visiting many times again and bringing my fellow cigar lovers as well.

We got the Strawberry Caprese salad, blackened ahi crudo, bourbon brisket and fries, cornmeal crusted catfish with sweet chili glaze over mushrooms risotto, and pig candy. 5/5 Strawberry caprese salad. Very nice and light salad. The balsamic vignerette is not overpowering which I enjoyed. Would get again. 4.5/5 Blackened ahi crudo. A little bit on the saltier side but still very enjoyable and tasty. Wonton crisp is nice addition. Good presentation. 5/5 Bourbon brisket & fries. Delicious burger. The brisket was delicious and mouthwatering along with the caramelized onions, and bread was mildly sweet and tasty. 5/5 corneal crusted catfish. Definitely one of the best catfish I've tasted. The top is crunchy and the glaze has a fruity flavor which paired well with the fish and risotto. Highly recommend! 3.5/5 Pig candy. I read some good reviews about the candy and decide to try it. It was too salty for me and I felt needed another glaze or salad to pair with. Not bad but just not a favorite. Enjoy!

I got the blacked ahi crudo and the cornmeal catfish with sweet chili glaze over mushroom risotto and wow! The crudo came with wonton chips and absolute perfection. Great flavor of citrus, seared tuna, and the right ratio of crudo to wonton chips. My lunch guest got the crawfish hush puppies which weren't as great as the crudo- dry but came with an amazing gravy so definitely soak them up in that, but was lacking crawfish- had to search for them in each hush puppy- trust me, get the crudo. The catfish dish- wow- large serving I had to take home the leftovers. The crispy cornmeal was perfect, the sweet chili glaze wasn't spicy but more like a sweet and sour sauce which sounds odd with catfish but it works! So delicious. And that bed of mushroom risotto- creamy, and with plenty of mushroom pieces, no skimping there and we're not taking about teeny pieces and sparse mushroom in this risotto, good size pieces and plenty! Although it was lunch we also added dessert- the banana foster egg roll, crispy on the outside, great cinnamon flavor, a delicious buttery sauce, so you can pour on top as much to as you like and a soft, sweet, delicious banana filling. Perfect end to the meal on a sweet note. and then also had the black Aji tuna nachos so good lots of flavor some citrus to it. Mushroom risotto amazing. Service: impeccable. Everybody was super nice very helpful and the ambiance was like a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere focused on comfort and unhurried conversation. I loved everything about the experience and would definitely go again.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my preference. I would not get it again. The service at this location was poor today. Since it was pretty empty and all the staff members were surrounding the bar, I sat at the bar. The team was more engaged with their interactions between one another than checking on my party. Each request I made was unnecessarily delayed. When I requested a container which was within eyesight and reach of the staff, I watched the employee stop and check on 2 other guests and make them drinks BEFORE handing me the container. I asked a 2nd person behind the bar and they did a similar thing before passing a container to me. There were 4 people behind the bar and maybe 5 guests, but each time I needed assistance, I had to ask more than once. Also, I could see my food items sitting in the kitchen while the team was continually chatting in the bar. This is my 3rd time at this location, and it will be my last. Although I like some of the menu items, the service today has depleted my tolerance for this location.

We entered to a friendly staff who sat us immediately. The vibe is very modern with some Mexican influence. We were with another couple and I think they were under the impression that this would be Tex-Mex, but it is not. For drinks I got a Mezcalina, my wife got a normal margarita normally I don't love Mezcal, but was feeling adventurous and this drink did not disappoint, it exploded with flavor and was my favorite drink I have had here. The bar program might be the best of any restaurant in the area, as it should be since they have a speakeasy as well.

I was initially disappointed, but this was one of the more unique complimentary dishes I have had, and loved it. For starters, we got the TOSTADA CHUTORO, which was a tostada with raw fish and caviar. There were two, and although smaller bites to share, the flavor once again really shined through.

I decided on the Aguachile Wagyu, which was perfectly cooked and paired with charred herbs. Very enjoyable for a small high-protein meal. My friend ordered Tacos de Filete, which she said were, "okay." We also had a few drinks... They were heavy pours. My only complaint is that the tajin-salt rims were more for decoration (smeared across the side of the glass and not very hygienic) rather than for the palette. Worth mentioning: We were never offered any chips or salsa, although I've read reviews where other patrons enjoyed some before their meal. Our server was friendly, but a bit disconnected.... Maybe that was the biggest problem - - the experience was diminished due to lackluster service.
