Modern European Restaurants in Houston, TX

“After 6 months living in Houston, for me this Is the best restaurant up to now that I have tried in Houston. High quality of ingredients and great receipts. Wonderful service and location inside romantic with low lights. They have a menu that Is gourmet, leveraging on more simplicity and combination of fee ingredients.“

“Food is so good here! Everything is super fresh and very delicious and made from scratch. Service is top, super friendly. Liza and Elina are amazing! They made us feel very welcomed.Just love this place! Definitely coming back for this delicious food and the best customer service!Recommend it to everyone!“

“We ate outside. Beautiful weather. Very nice servrr and good food presentation. Not able to judge authenticity of cuisine as first time for this type. Meatballs reminded me of my grandmother's. That was a pleasant surprise.Dietary restrictions: Did okay with gluten-free.“

“Excellent! There are many great restaurants in Houston, but few offer truly original dishes without trying too hard. Riel finds the right balance. All dishes were original but so tasty and well presented. This is on my Houston short list. A few comments, not negative but for consideration. - The menu is relatively limited, but offset by the fact that every dish we tried (which were many) were outstanding. - Several of the dishes were pretty spicy which was perfect for my taste, but may not be for everyone. - Concerning the staff. They were efficient and courteous, but I really don't like being served by women with big rings in their noses.“

“The restaurant was nice with a great vibe for Friday at 5 pm. We got two different types of pizzas and the honey cake. The salad was also very refreshing. Only comment is I wish they had more choices for meals such as adding chicken breasts to salads for a healthier option.“

“Didn't come to eat just grab a coffee . The food here looks amazing ! The coffee from three keys , is the best I've had , my boyfriend got a protien smoothie from cranky carrot and it's knock your socks off good ! Must try guys !“

“Very crowded. But it has good coffee. The tiramisu wasn't the best but it wasn't awful either. Great WiFi, I didn't have an issue despite the place being crowded. Service dog friendly and ADA bathroomWheelchair accessibility: ADA bathroom“

“04/13/2024I just had lunch at Squabble.First off we got seated in Julian’s section per our request of seating in a booth. (2 of us)Julian is new to the floor as a few weeks ago after being a Bar back there.I must say this young man was nothing short of impressing me.He was funny and extremely knowledgeable of the menu and could definitely pick up the vibe of the table he was working on ( ours).The menu ; if you aren’t familiar with it; needs some details given the sophistication of what it offers andthis is where Julian shined.The rest of the staff was also very attentive.It is amazing to get such food quality and service at a reasonable price.Just an amazing experience I wanted to share.And I’m a snob..“

“Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Houston! Came by for my husbands birthday and ate at the bar/kitchen with a chefs menu. We were both blown away with the service as it was equally impressive in the back and front of house. Could not recommend this establishment enough!“

“During the last ten years there has been a lot of changes in the Rice Village but unfortunately not for the good! However Salento Bistrot remains one of the shining stars of the Rice Village! I have been in and out of this nice restaurant for about 18 years. The food is delicious and the selection of wines is more than just decent. I love the beautiful atmosphere with nice music and the staff is always helpful. I need to add that the staff is bilingual and courteous. My last experience confirmed me that this is one of the few places I feel confortable to eat in the Rice Village. The prices are moderate and for the quality of the food is worth it. Please try the delicious paella and do not miss the flavorful sangria. They also have a patio but I prefer to eat inside. In my last visit I didn't eat dessert because apparently they're not offering the traditional "torta de Santiago" (used to be my favorite ).“

“What a lovely patio! The restaurant has many of drink options bar and bottles. The details on the plates and restaurant are endearing. We mainly came here for the crème brûlée. I like how their menu changes with the seasons. I can't wait to come back and try this place again. We had a wonderful first experience. We did want a Matcha latte which they did not have they just have the basic coffee and tea bag options. They do not have specialty milks like oat milk or almond milk for the coffee. Overall, we had a wonderful time and our server was very attentive.Kid-friendliness: They offered a high chair“

“A leisurely early dinner after a matinee was outstanding . Our server Alex provided excellent service with perfect timing. He was attentive without being overbearing. Food was very good and included starters from the Happy Hour menu: eggplant fries and crab cake balls. Menu offers a variety of choices. Generous pours of bubbly served in 7 oz coupes, as well as numerous choices of wine by glass. Great dessert choices as well. Highly recommend.“

“You can’t go wrong with Mia Bella! We have been here for anything from brunch to happy hour after work to celebrating big family events to romantic dinners. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We have never had a bad experience with service. The food itself is to die for; large portions of authentic dishes and fresh bread that absolutely will have you trying not to ruin your meal via scarfing it down. I’ve had anything from seafood pasta to the catch of the day and have never been disappointed. I’ve been in after athletic competitions and had the same service as when I’m fully formally dressed up.“
