“I recommend the full menu. My wife and I had our 37 year anniversary dinner tonight,and our server Paisley did an awesome job… kudos to you! Thanks Ingrid for checking with us about our dining experience! We will be back soon.“

“1/12/2025-This is a awesome vibe here. The ambiance is a nice bistro with some crazy art to keep you entertained but the music and lighting sets the mood. I would come back here again and again. I visited here without a reservation and was greeted when I first came in. The staff was nice friendly and attentive. Emma was awesome and recommended some dishes. The burger, half chicken, rice, and sesame butter cookie were awesome and the drinks. I had the voodoo drink. I highly recommended and you won't be disappointed.“

“We had Bailey (sp?) as our server and she was very chill and accommodating while explaining the menu to us.

We had 2 appetizers (Madai & Octopus) and shared a steak then 2 desserts (Brownie sundae was awesome)

Thank you for making sure our drinks were full and our nite was fun.“

“Dinner at the place where traditions of excellence are still strong is always a delight! Since the first location on Post Oak to new location in the Memorial a change was only in an address. Great service, quality ingredients, proper technique of preparation, all caries with a traditions of the Mazraff’s restaurant! Certainly all loyal patrons following, because they know what to expect and value that! Today I told Russell Masraff that I remember him with a dark hair, now we both are getting grey hair color. Nonetheless, good food and company will keep your eyes sparkly and spirit soaring! Mazraff’s is a place with traditions! Lana - Alchemy of Flavors“

“Had a great time, i went to have brunch this morning food was delicious. everyone was very attentive and nice, especially Michele made us feel very welcome, thank you everyone.“

“I highly recommend Fielding's River Oaks for group dining and special occasions. The stylish interior immediately stood out to me, with its modern lighting, clean decor, and expansive windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Our group had a large table in a private area, and the space felt comfortable and upscale, perfect for a celebratory get together or even a business dinner. 🍽️ The service was attentive, and the table was set beautifully with everything we needed plates, glasses, cutlery, and napkins all arranged, ready for a relaxed meal with friends or colleagues. The food was excellent pizzas came out hot and perfectly baked, and the burgers looked delicious with generous portions. Drinks flowed throughout the dinner, served in a variety of elegant glasses. One feature I really appreciated was the versatility Fielding’s offers not just indoor dining, but also takeaway and delivery if you prefer to eat elsewhere. Overall, it was a memorable experience thanks to the great atmosphere, quality food, and top 🔝 notch service. I would absolutely go back, whether for a casual lunch or another big event.“

“My husband and I are in Houston for his cancer treatment at MD Anderson. Needless to say, not a trip for fun, but it’s his birthday today, and we wanted to get out of the hotel at the hospital and celebrate just a little. Because he has stage 4 stomach cancer, his dietary needs are limiting, so eating out can be difficult. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. This being our first trip to Houston, we know little about the area, and our cab driver helped us decide on Navy Blue. Well, can I just tell you, they were soooooo accommodating of our needs!!! The chef went out of his way to prepare some special items for us, so my husband could eat. Though his portion size is limited, he thoroughly enjoyed his food, as did I. I ordered a small appetizer of baked in butter Prince Edward Island oysters, simply prepared, and oh so delicious. My husband loves oysters, but they haven’t loved him since he’s been sick. He even had one, and enjoyed it. My husband also loved the cheddar biscuits, and seaweed butter, I couldn’t believe he was able to eat the whole biscuit. They have a simply prepared section in their menu, and you can order your seafood pan seared in olive oil with simple seasonings. This was great for his situation, and he had beautiful pink juicy gulf shrimp. I had the Dover sole, and it was perfectly prepared and boned tableside. Gorgeous presentation, and the fish was absolutely delicious. I ordered the sautéed spinach, and he the creamed potatoes. We shared those, and both were delicious. All the staff were well trained in service and they were super attentive. Our server was magnificent. Thank you Navy Blue for showing us a lovely night out, in an otherwise difficult time. We highly recommend your restaurant to anyone in the Houston area looking for fabulous food, fabulous service, and exquisite attention to detail. This place is wonderful!!!“

“Our first experience with Bellagreen was scrumptious! We were visiting Houston and googled for gluten free vegetarian meals. Very thankful our search led us here. The atmosphere was relaxed and the aesthetics overall were spot on. I had the seasonal harvest salad and it was nothing but perfection! Everything was so fresh and made a beautifully colorful plate. My daughter tried a veggie burger for the very first time and she loved it! Keep up the good work Bellagreen. see you on our next trip!“

“Highly recommend. Great atmosphere and service.“

“Decided to stop in for Sunday brunch and it was wonderful! I had the multigrain protein bowl, champagne…. Simply fresh & delicious! We also had espressos and the flourless chocolate dessert! Another winner! They had live piano music and Lucas provided excellent customer service! Highly recommend!“

“OMG! Amazinggggg!!! This was our first time dining with Seasons & let me tell you , the food was AMAZING , drinks AMAZING , and the staff was OUTSTANDING. Steve and Jessi went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We enjoyed every minute and will be back.“

“What a great restaurant! 4 of us had the goat cheese/apple salad, medium rare ribeye steak au poirve with red wine reduction, short ribs, scallops, crème brule, and chocolate brownie with strawberry sorbet. All dishes were perfection. Hostess/waitress/sommelier Irena is charming and the wife of the chef. She used the proper wine thief tool to remove the cork on a 40 year old Bordeaux and did so perfectly.“

“The best food, prepared to perfection and beautifully presented!! Warm & cozy atmosphere and a great wait staff. Amazing drinks & desserts!! Enjoy!“

“Amazing service [Original] Amazing service“

“This restaurant exceeded my expectations! I chose it based on the vibe in the photos and the wine and brunch menu and it was superb! From the atmosphere and our amazing server Maxwell, It was the perfect spot to spend 4 hrs catching up with my bestie before she flew out. Thanks Maxwell you were truly a delight and the cherry on top of our already great day!!“

“I was traveling on business and The minute I stepped in RELISH I felt at home. The bartender greeted me as if he knew me! Such a warm welcoming atmosphere. The food was amazing, drinks were on point and the service was over the top. I can’t wait to go back- I am a customer for life.“

“This was our second visit, and the food and service was just as incredible as the first time. We did the tasting menu and got to try a wide variety of their offerings and added the fried chicken because I had heard how great it was. Everything was delicious. Truly a wonderful spot for a special occasion or elevating a regular evening.“

“Great restaurant in a lovely neighborhood. The food was delicious and the happy hour charcuterie board was great followed by a 3 meat pizza. The chocolate cookie is amazing.“

“Possibly the best service we've ever had. Rain (reign or rayne) not sure on spelling literally went above and beyond. She was amazing and made a birthday to remember! Food was excellent, blackened fish a tad salty but overall delicious. Chicken tenders great, my mom liked her salmon and my chicken fried steak was good, but I'd try something else next time.“

“Mezza is our go-to restaurant for years and consistently a hit with friends and family. The food is flavorable and the menu has many different choices for the picky eaters and those who may have various food restrictions i.e. vegetarian. If you haven't been to Mezza, this is a must try restaurant.“

“Great meal. Great staff. Bread service is a must. Definitely will be back.“

“I cannot recommend this restaurant due to a lack of pricing transparency. Additional charges are not clearly disclosed, and an 18% service fee is automatically included in the bill, yet customers are still prompted to leave an additional tip. As a result, what appears to be a simple meal with drinks can cost around $40. For individuals on a modest income, this pricing structure feels excessive and unfair. Greater clarity and honesty in billing practices would significantly improve the dining experience.“

“We recently hosted a surprise birthday party for about 30 guests in the restaurant’s private event room, and everything was absolutely perfect. The room itself is beautifully designed—honestly, it hardly needed any extra decor because the ambiance was already spot-on. From the moment we connected with the booking coordinator to the service was exceptional. Every staff member we interacted with was courteous, attentive, and truly professional. They made the entire planning process seamless and the event itself run smoothly. The food? Incredible. We created a custom menu with a variety of options, and every single dish was packed with flavor. The presentation was stunning—like something you’d see in a magazine—and the portion sizes were just right. If you’re looking for an intimate, stylish space with top-notch service and food that will wow your guests, this is the place. Highly recommended!“

“Cocktails were the best, also the food was incredible. Excellent service“

“It’s a great restaurant and the food is delicious. I have been a customer of the Rice Village location since the early 2000s.“

“Mia’s biscuits and. pies"“

“Loved my first experience here at this eatery! So so delicious“

“We always have a good meal and good times at Del Vista! The menu has so many of our favorites and always consistently prepared.“

“This restaurant embodies refined taste and consistent excellence. Every item on the menu is thoughtfully crafted, flawlessly prepared, and never disappoints. The ambiance is clean, elevated, and inviting — a true testament to hospitality done right. Living just down the street, we find ourselves returning often, and each visit feels like an experience. Worth every penny for those who appreciate quality without compromise.“

“First of all, as a Person with Cancer it’s very hard to find a place that offers clean healthy Food, I can’t eat out anymore, the Food over here was very delicious and healthy thank you very much Bellagreen 😄💕“

“So we did Dine in the Dark here. No photos to post and will not tell you what was on the menu, but I was very good! It’s amazing how senses changed when one was taken away. Something you need to experience for yourself.“

“Modern, inventive and delectable food. What a great experience. Great service too.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Houston! It's worth the drive in from Richmond.... The decor is stylish, not stuffy. The service was super. And the food - YUMMMMY! We started with the sweet chili shrimp, bruschetta, and dumplings. I had the chicken piccata, which is huge and delicious. Run...don't walk to this restaurant! Oh and the owner, Jonathan is a good guy too!“

“Awesome food and service. Never been disappointed.“

“In town for business and stopped by for Sunday brunch solo. The live music was amazing, great atmosphere and the food was good. My waiter was busy behind the bar so not as attentive but since I was chilling it didn't matter much. The host at the door has excellent customer service so I will definitely return!“

“Decent food but the wait here can be very long if you are wanting a quick take out. Took over 30 mins to get my food to walk back to the office. Was debating on here or Sweet Paris. Other option is quicker from order to bag time and out the door. But, this Salmon with Pumpkin sauce is quite delicious.“

“The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff’s attentiveness cannot be overstated; they were just incredible, especially our server, Ashton.

As for the food, don’t miss out on the lamb lollipops, Parmesan fries, or Oysters Rockefeller. They were so good, especially the oysters and fries! As for dessert, the bread pudding was magical. Cant wait to go back.

Oh, and if you like mezcal, the Scorpion’s Kiss - one of their specialty cocktails - is the perfect mix of smokey and sweet.“

“Perfect place for healthy, delicious, happy food. The food is so eclectic and fresh. The ambience is open but also feels like private seating. They even have their own store for buying healthy, modern or fusion food options. Pictures are the harvest salad with tofu, crunchy Chicken sandwich and Asian chicken salad. I will definitely be back here soon to try their other cool dishes!“

“Excellent evening for 4 adults during out of town visit from friends! We enjoyed the drink selection and especially dinner. We were surprised to have such fresh food and gluten free options! Totally recommend for group fun indoors on a rainy day😎“
