“Went here for brunch, it was 12pm and already packed. The Dj knew his mix. The staff was very friendly, the food could be better taste wise and serving warm food scores you higher points ?NOTE: do the valet parking, because parking anywhere else will get your car towed, it’s a kind of business in that area saying this from experience.“

“My husband and I had a lovely & delicious meal here. Service was attentive, polite, and very helpful. Atmosphere is pretty, relaxing, & it's possible to chat without shouting. My cocktail was delightful (golden martini) & wine selections are thoughtful. Seafood was fresh as can be & prepared expertly. I have a dairy sensitivity & they were very cool about making some substitutions for me.Parking: Easy if you valet.“

“I’m a Regular at La Lucha and they were closed for the night due to a special event. The GM sent me to State of Grace. The management over here is just as good as well as the service. Glad this all happened. Great group of people over here at State of Grace.“

“Such a fun place with fantastic service. The staff is so friendly — they go above and beyond to make sure that you are well taken care of. Not to mention, the food is amazing. Ordered the shrimp po boy and it was delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Celeste was our waitress was awesome she did a wonderful job at recommending us food for our first time and it was delicious we will be returning. Thank you Celeste for the spectacular hospitality keep up the awesome job.Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed“

“Second time here and another great experience. The food was incredible and even our kids (who a picky eaters) are eager to come back again. From appetizers to main course to dessert everything was delicious. Service was excellent even though our server was also waiting on a large party next to us. I appreciate that they have non-alcoholic drink options and would love to see them add a few more.“

“After seeing Wicked at the Hobby Center with friends we walked to our reservation at Guard and Grace. Trey was our waiter and was on point! Thank you Trey for being so attentive and hospitable with your fabulous smile. Food and drinks were great! Try the passion fruit lemon drop martini that Trey hooked us up with, you won’t regret it! 5 out of 5 for food and service!“

“They let us come in a little early which was very kind. We were seated at a premium table which was lovely. Our waiter was attentive when bringing the bread, a black napkin and our drinks. After that we didn't see him much, and we had run out of butter for the scrumptious bread. We waited and waited. He finally noticed that we needed some service. Now folks, we arrived at 3:50, so it wasn't like we were sharing him with multiple tables. Finally, he came, brought the butter and then we waited for our food, and waited.... After a while, we asked the eta and were told one of the sauces took a while. Too long!! My husband ordered the special—red fish. It was fair. I ordered the scallops, and they were tasty. The broccolini was cold and flavorless. The waiter hand-served it, a nice touch. But it was cold. The manager came by but we didn't want to make a scene. So, our thoughts on this restaurant were that it deserves about a 3 1/2 stars for this experience.“

“This is why I love Yelp. I'm giddy when Yelp reviews point me to places like this, that I never would have found on my own. We were very pleased with the food, the service, and the vibes we found at Cochinita! We ordered The Desayuno (not pictured because my husband dug in before I could snap one) and the 3 Leches French Toast, a latte and a London Fog. All plates were emptied before we left. The restaurant itself was clean and inviting. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and was beautifully plated. They have a collection of house made sauces and oils available to spice up your meal (and you can even purchase some to take home.) Cochinita is a real treat. The neighborhood is worth a cruise after breakfast for the murals, too!“

“I went last night with my mom and best friend to celebrate my moms birthday. When I say it was the best birthday dinner she's ever had, I am not lying. Our server (I wish I could remember his name, he was a sweetie!) was amazing, extremely attentive, and very kind. Rene (I believe is his name) the manager, was extremely thoughtful. He brought champagne as soon as we sat down and he also brought my mom a card at the end of the dinner. It was so thoughtful and amazing! The service was excellent, our cups were always full and our table was very clean at all times. The chickpea crepe, sourdough, and escargot were amazing! The ravioli, broccolini, and steak were so flavorful. We ate every bite. Phenomenal experience and we will definitely be back. Thank you all! My mom was so happy.“

“Great place for Peruvian food and date nightI definitely recommend the Lomo saltado and the ceviche also their drink I forget the name was super good. It's their top recommended drinkI tried the Lomo with mac n cheese to try something different but I prefer the original as I thought the mac n cheese was a bit too heavy“

“Rachel at the wilcrest location was so amazing and I’ll be requesting to be seated in her section everytime I come back. She was prompt and knowledgeable about all of my questions. She serviced us at all the perfect times and was very nice and friendly“

“One of my fave brunch spots. This time we were able to talk with Mr. Brad Brennan, one of the most down-to-earth persons ever! We even met the sous chef, who had to visit when my 2-yr old gran-niece ate his turtle soup by herself!! I had the grilled oysters with shrimp and crabmeat and cheese! It's new, and my approval was given to the chef. LOL“

“Clawdaddy did not disappoint ! The food is really good! I ordered the snow crab - house - mild and the wings with rice (added shrimp). Everything was delicious and the portions are large! The dipping sauce is also really good. The staff were extremely friendly ! I will definitely be back and soon.“

“Wonderful dining experience! The service is always fantastic, and the ambiance is quiet, modern and comfortable. Our server Adam catered to our every need. Every item we ordered was delicious! We will continue to visit Masraffs for a lovely experience.“

“Was very good overall, New York strip was cooked fantastically, did have a little bit of a chemical taste to the outside charring, but still amazing. The bread was very good. And the desert options were all very good. Our waiter Lem, was an amazing. Overall fantastic!“

“Their time visiting this location. First time, I had a guy and our service was mediocre. However, we had Diamond today! Diamond was great, attentive, and quick! Will recommend her to anyone that visits here. If she isn’t your server, walk away!Kid-friendliness: Diamond loved our kids!“

“Man, I know it might be a different owner but when Fajita Willie's shut down (on 529 & hwy 6) it was sad! So many memories but since then we are making new memories at this location. So far, they have been amazing. From front of house to back of house. The food here is amazing. Not bias but the burgers here are one of the best IN HOUSTON.“

“Incredible meal, this place is the real deal for local food. You may notice it's inside a gas station but don't let that deter you. I was offered samples of their gumbo, which I gladly tried, and then ordered one of. It was absolutely delicious, with a generous portion too.“

“Upscale Mexican restaurant with fantastic menu featuring various seafood, vegetables and innovative offerings of familiar favorites. We decided to share small-ish plates (they weren't that small). We had corn & shrimp empanadas, a roasted eggplant and squash dish, smoked octopus dish, a mushroom tamal wrapped in a banana leaf with mole and a blueberry mousse cake with passionfruit sorbet. Everything was unique, fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Food was served quickly by attentive staff. We loved it.“

“This was our first time eating at this restaurant and we were so impressed! Sang was wonderful and very knowledgeable! We had the Po-boys (shrimp and oysters)! High recommended!!!! The closest po-boys I had since leaving Louisiana!!!! Again, amazing place and delicious food! Give them a try❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Wow. Just wow. That was the best gumbo I've had in my 30 years in Houston. We also had the red fish and fried shrimp. My husband said the Brussel sprouts were better than Perry's! Rodney was warm and welcoming and the food was wonderful!“

“We want out to smoke and as we came back, our bottle of wine was gone and we asked about it, it came back empty to the table. Very strange to remove wine from the table while we were still dinning. Secondly, restaurants should start curbing the noise on cellphones. People don't go to a restaurant to listen to TikTok and YouTube from others. It is a moment to relax and enjoy. While you were in the restaurant we had to move and two tables next to us had 30year old kids listening to videos and messages on the speaker level of their phones. Just impolite to others. But I guess that is what is called: freedom and respect now a days“

“The place is the right place to enjoy a good meal very close to the Sam Houston (8) at the Veterans memorial, very good service from the staff, the menu is very easy to understand and choose your favorite dish, the response time is almost immediate between 8 to 15 minutes depends on the dishes you selected and the delicious food is a pleasure to enjoy the palate if you like Mediterranean food (seafood), highly recommended and excellent service from the staff, very clean areasKid-friendliness: It is a family area so it is suitable for childrenWheelchair accessibility: How much has a very wide ramp for wheelchairs?“

“Only one word can accurately describe this dining experience: WOW! OK, maybe a few other words: incredible, outstanding, fantastic, delicious, amazing, and unique! This was truly an experience! It all started with the wonderful service from Nate, the Maitre D. He was so kind, personable and professional! Then came Valentin, our server, who was so friendly, knowledgable, and again, professional! The food was insane! A feast for the eyes and the senses! I loved that the restaurant was quiet, even though it was busy. This is a restaurant that knows what they're doing...and they're doing EVERYTHING RIGHT! I cannot wait to go back, and I'm telling everyone I know about our superb experience! Thank you for a great night!!“

“The food is excellent if you stick to what you know that you’ll like. My wife loves Brussels sprouts and Bangkok Social has some of the best you’ll ever find. Their spin on the Pad Thai is creative, I didn’t think I’d like it but it’s now my favorite pad Thai in town. Their level 4 “hot” is really good, especially if you like spicy food but don’t want to sweat while eating it. I tried a couple of new things to me, the first being the Mango Mint Lemonade which was the best thirst quencher I could’ve asked for. The other new thing that I tried was the Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp and Peanuts…. Hated it, but I do think their basic chicken fried rice is sufficient going forward. The House Special Chicken is a solid option if you’re unsure of what to try. Overall, I really like this place and would recommend it to anyone. It’s very clean and the team is nice. Two thumbs up!“

“Great little neighborhood spot. Brandon our server was fantastic, giving great recommendations and service. The scallops and risotto were delicious. The scallops cooked and seasoned perfectly. My wife raved about the gnocchi too. Great wine to go with the great food.“

“Nice place. We went for a birthday celebration, with high hopes having been to Bludorn. Restaurant is run well, you can feel it, waiters serve the whole table at once (we were 5) which was a nice touch, with settings placed beforehand. Thursday night so not peak crowds. Started with oyster shooters which was fun. Moule frites and endive salad were both excellent, and they brought out their signature biscuits as well which were delicious. Entrees were all good, not great, which was a little disappointing. Dessert was very good though and the small cookies by the door on the way out was another nice touch.“

“Food was great, service was great, atmosphere is a little lackluster but I hardly noticed because the lamb T-Bone was so delicious! Even the starter salads had us wanting more.Vegetarian options: Only vegetarian option I noticed was the salad and a grilled vegetable ravioli.“

“Absolutely memorable. Celebrated mother's day with wife and Kids. Terrance our waiter made the evening memorable with absolute hospitality, wit, and knowledge of the dishes. Thanks Terrance you made the evening wonderful for my family.“

“We had Sunday brunch here with an out-of-town guest of ours. The menu didn't disappoint. All the dishes brought to the table were well prepared and fresh. The service was excellent. We went at 11:30 am, and the restaurant naturally got busier and busier. I recommend outside seating if you would like a quiet dining experience, as large parties congregate inside for birthday parties and other celebrations. Outside seating is a covered patio, but if it's hot and humid, you're on your own. Overall, this is my second experience at Gratify, and both visits were great. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves to eat well-prepared dishes with fresh ingredients. Valet will be your best option for parking unless of course you live in the Rice Village neighborhood!“

“Overall a great spot especially for date night as has a very romantic atmosphere with good food. The miso salmon was really good and the side salad with it was on point as well. Decent wine selection as well. The service seemed a bit rushed especially for a quiet Monday night. The food did come out really quick which was nice but they tried to take the unfinished plates a few times which was odd. Then when finished and enjoying the wine they brought the check so just made it seems like they wanted to kick you out quick. Besides that the food and ambience are great.Parking: Complimentary valet“

“Good service from the waitress Angie, nice place, good caraoke, the food comes out immediately, first time I leave happy, happy about a place that has a nice atmosphere and good service, thank you Angie, I really recommend the bar, good drinks and excellent service “

“Great place for an intimate date or a family outing. Good food, too. It is a little expensive but we'll worth the cost.Parking: Outside, so you take your chances.Kid-friendliness: We brought 2 kids, aged 6 and 8 and they both enjoyed the heck out of it.“

“I came in at 3pm not knowing that they closed 3-5pm. The owner informed me that hotpot was closed 3-5pm, but noodles were made to order all day long. The workers were super friendly and hospitable. I ordered the Spicy Seafood Noodles which were delicious. The restaurant was quiet, clean, and inviting. Great spot for a quick lunch.“

“Did you know Niko Niko’s was just the size of the area where you order? I have been coming here since I was a child and it’s amazing to see the place prosper while still maintaining such good quality food. This is by far my favorite restaurant in Houston.Vegetarian options: Best vegetarian lasagna in existence. Hands down“

“If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I’m a sucker for sweet and tangy flavors and this really hit the spot!!! The juices (healthy drinks) are delicious and fragrant (I looooove both kumquat and coconut but have never seen the flavors paired) and the lemongrass kumquat is almost a bit savory. Soooo delicious.The lobster was perfectly cooked lobster was saturated in flavor even though gravy is light- and the noodles were perfectly garlicky. Finger licking good!!! The crawfish and shrimp were great too.Definitely make a stop in the area. We traveled about 45 min and it was worth it. Surprised there wasn’t a long wait at all! Definitely great for takeout as well.They are known for bún suông, and we grabbed it to go, as well as the chicken salad ?The owner is also super nice!“

“Everything was incredible, lots of options for the food, seasonings, sauces and even take home bags. Gloves and a bib are optional and every bite with their special sauce was instant dopamine. Prices are great for the quantity of food, complete satisfaction and worry free. Thank you!“

“From The appetizer through 3 courses we were progressively impressed. Food is delicious, service is kind and helpful & atmosphere is peaceful. With Deep Roots In The Houston Heights Including my Great Grandfather an immigrant from Germany I am so happy to find such a nice place with a little bit of memory of the Houston Heights I grew up playing in.“

“We bought a sack of field run and they were large to huge with none dead. Excellent crawfish! After moving here from So. Louisiana ywars ago we have bought from various places but this is now the only place for me. Great price and good crawfish.“

“This is clearly a hidden gem in Houston if you're a fan of skewers. I highly recommend this place.Be warned, because everything is so good and the portions are small it's very easy to keep ordering and racking up a bill. This isn't a bad thing, but just be aware.“

“First time coming here. Only went here because another place I was going to was packed. Google searched to see what other crawfish places were nearby. Glad I tried this place out!! I bought 3lbs of their kickin style flavor. A little on the sweet side for my liking but still very tasty. Corn was good. Sausage was OK. I don't ever care for potatoes but the wife wanted some. Also got the shrimp and fish basket with Cajun fries. Overall we were extremely satisfied. Crawfish was 8.99/lb. Decent size. Only a few dead ones. The shrimp was seasoned and fried perfectly. And so was the fish (I requested for catfish). All in all I would definitely go back again. The wife isn't a big crawfish eater or fried food but even she liked it a lot!!“

“My boyfriend and I have been coming here for well over a year. We love the grilled oysters and murder point oysters. I always get the Kirby swizzle. It’s super refreshing and he usually gets the Corpus Christi cup and enjoys it. The staff is great at managing a full bar. Even when they are packed, they acknowledge and move quickly to take care of everybody.“

“During my recent visit to the restaurant, I had Cierra as my server. I have received good service at restaurants in the past, but Cierra‘s attention to detail, approachable, demeanor, and bubbling charisma both put me at ease and brightened my day. Although she was really busy at the time, she made sure that I had everything that I needed…with a smile on her face. The food here is amazing, but Cierra’s exceptional customer service, which is the gold standard by the way, will be the reason that for my next visit and I’ll definitely be requesting to sit in her section every time.“

“SouthXSaigon restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience with its expert use of seasoning and bold flavors. Each dish is meticulously prepared, showcasing a perfect balance of spices and herbs that elevate the overall taste. From savory starters to decadent mains, the seasoning is spot on, enhancing the authenticity of Vietnamese cuisine. Whether you're indulging in their spicy crawfish or savoring their delicious fried rice, every bite bursts with flavor, leaving a lasting impression. It's a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of Vietnam with a modern twist.“

“Lynn’s is family owned and it shows. They offer great cuts of prime steak and seafood with a lovely atmosphere and an impressive wine list (not to mention great food and service)! The restaurant reminds me of a typical quaint restaurant one would find in Berlin (Germany)...having spent some time there for work over the past few years. I highly recommend Lynn’s.“

“Stopped by Pappadeaux's during our layover. The food, drinks (Blueberry Mule), and service was top notch. Bebe was a sweetheart. she made my wife and I feel as though we were the only customers in the place. Keep up the wonderful customer service!“

“I don't have no photos at this time but I can only say one thing My opinion is pappadeaux is the number one seafood place in San Antonio and if not number one it's a competitor right beside everybody else the vicious food beautiful waite staff clean location“

“We always come here to take out of towners out or just whenever I'm really craving oysters. The service is consistently great, the drinks are great, the oysters are fresh and we haven't ordered anything we haven't liked. The inside and outside is roomy, clean, pretty and has a great ambiance. They have complimentary valet parking and self parking across the street. The chicken sliders are so delicious and they make a great Bloody Mary.“
