Just me
Cimone S.

Perfect score all around from the service to the decor to the food !! Definitely will be back !!

Best espressos in the city!
Javan H.

I love this bar! It's the perfect place for a craft cocktail and great vibes. They recently updated the menu and I have zero complaints. The roasted oysters are a hit (and apparently they're half off on Thursdays)! The staff is always super welcoming and they have great drink suggestions. They change the menu out seasonally which I LOVE! This is def a great spot for a date or girls night.

Thursday night. Soooooo busy on a Thursday night. (7-9pm is when we were there) It is a truly beautiful place but the layout is a bit tragic. Honestly where we were sitting I really could not thoroughly enjoy myself because our backs were facing the bar area and there were so many people who kept on congregating there. That left a very very very thin place to walk through that even the servers had difficulty getting through let alone getting through with food and drinks. I hated it so much. Lmbo. The only thing that kept my mind off of it was my organization. That's it. It was so frustrating and I'm not someone who likes to be touched all the time so everyone touching me and hitting me and pushing me and jerking me it was just aggravating. The layout is terrible. You're fine if you get seating in the couch part facing the bar but other than that.. tragic. The mocktails here are super expensive. $12 for maybe three to four sips is a travesty. I tried: MOTHER OF MOCKTAILS: Dragonfruit, Mango, Lime, Pebble Ice. We asked them to make them look super festive and they were quite beautiful. And absolutely delicious. 9 out of 10. KYOTO GLOW SPRITZ Seedlip 108, Pineapple, Yuzu, Ginger, Lionsmane, Allulose, Topped with Topo. This was a huge disappointment. Beautiful to look out but absolutely disgusting. They were asking me what it tasted like and I said old stale coconut water with a hint of overripe pineapple. Gag. 1/10 (and that one point is for presentation only because it was a pretty drink) We ordered some appetizers. The one that I tried was:Cheese & Charcuterie Board A spread of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and seasonal accompaniments. 5/10. Nothing special. A pretty basic charcuterie board. But it was beautifully displayed. Overall ... I would like to try some items on their advance menu and the rest of the mocktails because I don't want to judge based on my experience last night.

Deviled Eggs . Definitely a must!

Plume is situated in the Heights just around the corner from all the other Shady Acre bars. The vibe... honestly it was just ok. Amongst all the other dives it kinda sticks out (the goal?). We went on a weeknight just around 6pm. No crowd, otherwise it's a "no". We had no problem finding parking but.. weeknight. Maybe a return? Nothing really extra special. Except the eggs.. ! The deviled eggs were amazing!

Espresso Martini

I went here for happy hour before going to dinner with the girls for a birthday. We were seated right away, and there is a parking lot. We ordered a mixture of happy hour options. There's almost a pre-happy hour, and a regular happy hour. So if you get there early enough, there are some additional specials. All of our drinks were really good, but I especially like the espresso martini. I would definitely go back for happy hour. I'd say just to check their menu menu for the specials and happy hour times in advance.

Food Menu

Popped by this new-ish cocktail bar and lounge on a Sunday evening (holiday weekend) before our dinner reservation which was also in the neighborhood. We arrived around 6pm and snagged a table in the bar area. The bar has a DJ on site and a fun vibe but service was a little on the slow side. We had to ask for our table to be wiped down because it was super sticky and no one came to take our order for almost 15 minutes. She was very apologetic and acknowledged that they were understaffed at the moment but there was also only one other table and maybe 4-6 at the bar when we arrived. My husband liked his espresso martini but said that the inclusion of licor 43 wasn't his favorite. We didn't order any food but if we had come after dinner instead of before I for sure would have ordered the chocolate truffles from Mostly Chocolates which is my favorite chocolate spot in town. We don't live in the area so I'm not sure that we will be back often but this seems like a really fun place to come with girlfriends or go to late night.

Best bar with amazing bar tender! Went during happy hour and loved the meatballs, espresso martini, and old fashioned. During HH (Tues-Fri 4-6p), these are only $10. The vibe of the restaurant and bar area is luxury meets friendly and we can't wait to go back ! Oh... and the restrooms are really cool !

This place is a vibe! The drinks/food was amazing and the bartenders were very friendly. This is a hidden gem in Houston, and I highly recommend.

Came to Plume with my girlfriends on a Thursday evening. This place is very nice and classy. Upon arrival we were greeted by the doorman and he asked if we had a reservation. We didn't and he directed us to the tables that had not been reserved. Our waitress was very nice and gave us a rundown of the menu. We enjoyed a few options and of course indulged in the cocktails. The price point ranged from $14 to $20 for food and drinks.

Hello Old Friend - rye whiskey- 5/5

Hollywood decadence and Art Deco meets Southern hospitality and Houston modern flair. I may not have made it to be an A-List Hollywood actor, but visiting Plume made me feel like I did. I haven't had this much fun from a first visit to anywhere. When I say run, I mean shower, throw on your business casual or dress to impress garments and arrive safely in style! Great for groups, date night or solo wanderer. I was only staying for one drink, but below you'll determine what happened as I became the main character, made new friends, while enjoying the night and having a great time. Ambiance: 5/5 With its elevated Hollywood decadence mixed with southern hospitality, this place makes you feel like the movie star of your story. With complimentary valet available, who doesn't enjoy that? (Recommendation, bring cash to tip the valet, they definitely earned it.) Dress code is business casual. Sorry but leave the flip flops and athletic wear at home. I haven't even gotten inside and I am already feeling like a star. Upon entering, you are immersed in the sights of regal and opulence with this nights musical vibes that seemed to come off my (EDM) playlist which of course I thoroughly enjoyed! I also might have Shazamed a couple of songs to add to my list. Thanks. I got to sit at my favorite part of the bar, the corner but also at the main entry. I got to see and experience it all. I was definitely meant to stop in this day. They also have a small outdoor area at the entry with cocktail tables and minimal seating if you need to step away from all the fun for a bit. Also recommend making reservations if you're wanting a table, as it can get busy and also makes the visit seamless and like you're on the red carpet. Service/Food: 5/5 I didn't have food, though they do offer it and also have brunch, which I'll have to return for. This visit was solely bespoke drinks by libations experts Joel, Kiana and Alex. The three of them went above and beyond to make sure my experience was 10's across the board. They refilled my water regularly and remembered my name. When I stepped away to the water closet, they placed a napkin on my drink. Below are the few drinks I tried and each one was curated to indulge the taste buds and leave you wanting more. Balanced and full of flavor for each cocktail as they were artisanally crafted. Clover Club - a simple, yet sophisticated gin based drink, while I'm usually not a fan of egg white, you don't taste the egg the raspberry syrup and lemon pair so well you finish and got a shot of protein. See mom, I may drink, but also get my protein in! Old Fashioned - my usual go to and favorite, good old friend, old fashioned. Balanced flavor with rye whiskey, good if you like whiskey and can't decide on their vast cocktail offerings. Espresso Martini - when you need a pick me up from having worked hard or just enjoy a boozy espresso, can never go wrong with this. Rich & Dirty - fancy vodka martini, I probably could've asked to use gin, but left it as the menu had it. And it has blue cheese olives, very fancy and delicious! Fall N' Apple - my favorite season (autumn) in a glass with my favorite spirit, gin! I want more! Eastsider - I don't believe it's on the menu, I've never had one, but spirits architect, Joel, graciously made me one and that drink was like summer in a glass. Keeping with my gin libation love, it was refreshing and just rounded out how well the fine cocktail curators at Plume know their stuff. Thank you! To finish the night, the manager, Chris, was walking around interacting with everyone. Got to talk to him for a bit and appreciated him and his staff for making my experience at Plume unforgettable. So much so, I'm ready to return and maybe become a regular to what I believe is truly an exceptional cocktail lounge.

Tried out the date night, 2 pasta dishes and a bottle of wine for $50. I had the portabella mushroom pasta and my partner had the creamy cajun pasta, both were very good!! The service is always so good here, from bartenders to wait staff. Definitely worth checking out, the food, drinks and service never disappoint.

Clover club

So we went for a girls night on Friday night and let me tell you it was not packed so perfect for me! Dj was great with house music. It's an upscale bar in the Heights super neighborhood, friendly with complementary valet, I'm in my mocktail era and these were amazing! I got the naked in paradise

Rest room decor
Bianca L.

Walking into Plume feels like stepping into Old Hollywood glam.The interior is glam and velvet seating, rich jewel tones, and metallic accents give it a very luxurious, fashion-forward vibe. The peacock-feather motif is woven throughout, adding a whimsical yet elegant touch. Perfect for a date night or a night out with your girls. This is very much a cocktail-lounge-first establishment. The mixology is creative and playful and so very delicious!! The food menu is tapas-style, meant to pair with drinks. You'll find small bites like meatballs in a chipotle ragout, bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with blue cheese, papas bravas, and deviled eggs. Which by the way were very tasty! It's not just a place to grab a drink -- it's a destination. Whether you want to sip cocktails in a glamorous setting, enjoy a laid-back themed brunch, or dance into the night with friends, Plume delivers for sure!! From the moment you arrive and you sit down, you are very much welcomed and also treated with the upmost amazing customer service! Definitely going back there soon! Cheers!!

Does this place have any door people at the entrance?

Yes we do! Chad will mainly be the door guy on duty! There are some hours that we do not have a door guy, but he's there probably 70% of the time, and always during the busy hours.

Just kidding LOL that didn't happen! Anyway, back to the point, sorry.. I like to mess around a little. I wasn't that hungry because I had food yesterday I ordered a kids cheeseburger burger with fries, a kids meal chicken tender with fries, a farmhouse burger, and the half chicken with biscuits. I also had the his biscus lemonade. Needless to say--well actually, quite needing to say since this is a review after all--the food was pretty good. Prices were a little crazy but it's become all to normal in this day and age. As for the food, I ordered a kids cheeseburger burger with fries , a kids meal chicken tender.. don't feel like saying all this again. As for the food, the service was pretty good I guess. The girl servers were pretty smart. The boy servers were a little less smart. Every time the guys brought food, they either stood there looking around, or attempted to place the food on top of other plates or napkins that were on the tiny table. I suggest maybe a boot/concentration program for the guys so they can concentrate a lil more. Ok, it's time for me to go. I'm gonna go to sleep after all the food. I forgot to mention what I ordered. kids cheeseburger burger with fries, a kids meal chicken tender with fries, a farmhouse burger, and the half chicken with biscuits. I also had the his biscus lemonade. The half chicken was obviously what they tried the hardest in. There were 4 types of sauce with it. They were all pretty good, but I didn't eat the chicken. The chicken tasted incredible-- so much so that I finished it completely. But I don't like eating around bones, I find it primitive. I'm more of a chicken tender kinda guy if you know what I mean. Oh yeah and for the food, I had a his biscus lemonade. It was SO good. Alright. And that is the end of my review. I hope I did t forget to list my food items because I've gotten hate messages calling me weird. Anyway, I'm out chat. Thank you to my faithful followers. Continue to look forward to my honest reviews. P.S. the beginning part was not a joke it actually happened. I have a video but I won't put it because I'm tryna lay low it you know what I'm sa Tying to you yuui

I would like to preface, this isn't a cheap quick dinner restaurant but I highly recommend coming at least once. We found it on the Michelin guide. I love the inside of the restaurant, the layout is fun and intimate. *grilled oysters were good. The flavor from the n'duja with the bits of pecan was something I would never think to pair. Great start! * elk tartare was surprisingly amazing. I always find tartare to be a tough dish to make outstanding and with elk I was hesitant to try but happy we tried it. The plate was cleaned by the time we finished. The cracker was light and paired well with it. * maitake mushrooms were so good that we had to split it evenly so no one got an unfair amount lol The sauce is like a coffee/caramel/chocolately savory sauce. Mt description doesn't do it justice. It's umami but has a caramelized feel. Just get it! * pork chop was the best pork chop we've had. We typically order steak over pork chops at restaurants but heard great things. Tender and flavorful. I will say it's a very rich dish so be mindful of that but highly recommended * grits, this was the dark horse. It was our favorite tapa. We laugh bc we didn't think grits would be the fav, out of all the amazing dishes. But the beef cheek underneath the silky grits... YUM! I'll be craving them *basque cheesecake was good but not the best we've had. But it's also hard to compete with all the other dishes we had

This is honestly some of the best cooking in Houston right now, although with a price point that…read moremakes it a bit out-of-reach for a regular occurrence. This is a bit of a dated review, but we came here for a Valentine's dinner as a special occasion. We got seats at the bar counter behind the fire (which to me was the best seat in the house) so we could be close to the action. One thing you'll notice is that the place is quite loud, I think which owes to the low ceilings (so don't expect like a quiet and romantic vibe). The meal started out great with the bread and butter - bread was sourced from Magnol, which was a huge green flag to start. The oysters were extremely fresh and absolutely delicious. We also had a dish with tuna over crispy rice which was my fiancee's favorite of the night. My personal favorite was the salad (I know that is crazy to say at a restaurant that specializes in live fire cooking) - but the way they zested all different types of citrus/lemons, peppers, chiles, and the way the herbs they put into it, created what was one of the most memorable salads I have ever had. All in all the food was excellent. Service was great (the night we were there, Max Lappe was there sending out food to customers himself). I do kind of wish the atmosphere was a little more quiet. With that said, expect to spend around $200pp (we did share a bottle of wine though).

Personally main dinning space looked dark so bar was ideal. We tried 4 different types of specialty cocktails, if you come at happy hour they are $3 off. These are craft cocktails, extremely extremely delicious. My favorites were the cocktail with beet and the cocktail with coconut and turmeric. Food was fantastic!! I loved how they served it in waves and not all at the same time. It felt more like a culinary experience. We had the cucumber salad which is a must. Followed by corn, which is good and totally unlike anything I've ever had before. Then the red fish which was sooooo good. Then the pork shoulder with coconut rice and together that was to die for. Plus the salt and vinegar potato's which I'd gladly have as a snack anytime. So so good!! Would come back honestly every week if I could!

The green curry (2.5/5) and broccolini (2/5) were both a little undercooked and lacked flavor for my liking. The cocktails were a standout for me, beautifully presented and tasted delicious. This is definitely a nice date night spot with strong presentation and solid flavors. I'd recommend go family style to explore more of the menu.

Parking: Tons of parking here surprisingly, both a paved lot and a pebble lot. We had a reservation for 3 at 7PM and were promptly seated at a booth after a small line of people. Order-to-Appetizer: 15 Minutes Order-to-Entrees: 30 MInutes For three people, we ordered: Dairymaid's Cheese Board (4/5): Comes with four cheeses, five small pieces of sourdough, honey-spritzed grapes, green Granny Smith apples, and fava beans. I wish they gave us more bread with the cheeses and preserves. The four cheeses provided were slices of a five-year aged Cheddar, Oveja Anejo, Tomarashi, and Gruyere. I enjoyed the Tomarashi the most. It is a bit pricey for what you get, but very sharable and a great starter. Shady Acres Pizza with prosciutto (3.5/5): I really don't like getting thin crust pizza that isn't crispy, and unfortunately this was a soggy thin crust pizza. The toppings themselves were very flavorful, and the end parts were crispy enough. 5 Cheese Calzone with chicken (3.5/5): Whew, five cheeses makes for a salty calzone. The side marinara sauce provides a good balance. It's very filling. Chicken might have been a good addition because prosciutto might have made it too salty. It was larger than expected which was nice for sharability. Service was kind of iffy. They were pretty rude with not providing us utensils and seeming almost angry that we asked for some for the cheese board. They mixed up our order (we asked for chicken on the pizza and prosciutto on the calzone and they flipped it) and seemed almost apologetically serving us afterwards. Overall, would recommend as a relaxed date spot at a reasonable price. I paid via inKind and applied referral credit with no issues. Would come back with inKind credit, probably not at full price.
