Who We Are:

We are a team - in the kitchen and the dining room, at the bar and on the patio. Bludorn is a fast-paced, exciting place to work, surrounded by some of the most hospitable and talented people in the business. Our guests join us from all over the city, the country, and the world, and the seasonal cuisine of Chef Aaron takes inspiration from the Gulf, local ranches, and purveyors across the globe.

Our staff come from all over Houston, some with years of restaurant experience, and others just starting in the industry. What unites them is a passion for hospitality and making people feel at home.
