“Great date night spot. Has an upstairs deck that over looks the water at sunset and they have some really good wine to choose from. I also recommend the hummingbird cake!!”

“Just tried today for first time and loved everything I had. Almost went to shipleys but now I'll just come here! Kolaches were perfect, donuts thick, fluffy, and just the right amount of glaze. Croissants thick and yummy. All was delicious!. Will be back!!!”

“I have only had great experiences with my food from here. Unlike the previous poster about the stale and hard bakery goods that has never been my experience. Perhaps she was just a “troll”??”

“The menu is quite large with so much variety. Their house salad dressing is really delicious and if you choose the pasta Alfredo as your side you won’t believe how big the portion is. My husband got the stuffed red fish and for the first time ever couldn’t eat it all. I recommend sharing an entree so you can save room for dessert which I hear the bread pudding is delicious. I just didn’t have room”

“Bree was in house today when we stoped in for our first time here, and she was so accommodating and sweet! Amazing service and experience! We will definitely be coming ”

“If one word could describe this place, I would use primo but it’s even better than that! Scenery, service, food and cleanliness are all in order. If you love seafood pasta, this place has the best I’ve ever found.”

“We ordered the jalapeño cheddars for an appetizer and it was alright. They were extremely hot, temperature wise, bit nothing better than the frozen ones you can by at the groceries. Then we both ordered the Gyro plate which came with fries and man, that was the best gyro I've had in this area. The meat was fresh so it came out steaming with tomatoes and onions topped with the house tzatziki sauce. Everything went extremely well together, the fires well seasoned, we did have to add salt cause we like our fies salty. To end our meal, we ordered the Baklava which was very rich and not too sweet, we loved it! I usually have baklava where the honey overtakes most of the taste but it was subtly used in this case so you could actually enjoy the richness and flavor.The service wasn't bad but they do cook everything fresh so it does take a while for the orders to come out. The ambience was nice, the pictures to the tables really made you feel like you were in Greece. The smell of the restaurant took me out of Deer Park and Traight into Athens, we enjoyed our experience. Overall, we highly recommend and will definitely go back to try their other items. 9/10.”

“Great as always...but I have to specifically mention how awesome Nicolas was. Of course, every server we've had has been awesome, but Nicolas set himself on a higher level by his outgoing personality and professionalism. But it was athletic basketball abilities that really wowed the crowd. Yes, I said athletic abilities...So one of the many many kids that were "electronically entertained" (I'm not exaggerating...EVERY kid in that place had a phone or tablet captivating their robotic attention)...one of those kids wasn't paying attention and knocked over a syrup bottle. Nicolas caught that out of the corner of his eye, lept over to that table and snatched it just before hitting the ground and making a massive mess. He did this amazing rolling recovery off the floor, popped up and calmly placed it back on the table like nothing even happened!!!! Funny thing was, all of us that were there, saw it and were amazed..extept for one person...you guess who it was? Yep, the kid memorized by his electronic babysitter!! So sad. I digress. If you are looking for GREAT service, and possibly to see more of his athletic skills, ask for Nicolas...you won't be disappointed!!!”

“Tricky finding the entrance between the pub and tattoo shop I believe. Got a strawberry shake nothing fancy. My only problem was it didn't make it home ?. That thing was delicious and they were packed when we walked in line was quick.”

“I just came from celebrating my 1st wedding anniversary. I am SO glad I chose this place. Freddy was our waiter, he was so attentive and sweet. Actually the whole staff was. Thank you Freddy for making this night so special for us, I felt so welcomed. I never had wine before, he recommended us one, our dessert, the whole service was amazing. Ask for Freddy as your server but make sure you take care of him on his tip just as he took care of you with his service, mil gracias Freddy, a esta churrascaria si vuelvo.”

“I've been wanted to try this restaurant for quite a while and tonight we tried Fuji Ramen Bay Colony. It did not disappoint.E V E R Y T H I N G we ordered was amazing. Ivan, our server did a great job. He took my fish allergy seriously and did not scoff when I ordered sushi. I was able to enjoy the non fish sushi as well as the chicken karaage ramen. And to top it off, the check was only $105 for 3 adults including 4 appetizers, 3 entrees, and 3 alcoholic beverages. We will be back!”

“The catfish fillets were impeccably cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, yet tender and flaky on the inside. Each bite was bursting with flavor. I highly recommend this place.”

“Our dinner here was excellent. We were able to get a seat right away. I enjoyed the music and atmosphere. I had the jerk chicken, plantains and greens. The jerk chicken was not too spicy and a nice portion. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The greens weren’t your typical greens. They were very flavorful and had pieces of red pepper which gave it a nice taste. The plantains were so good! My husband had the grilled snapper. The snapper was plated beautifully and tasted excellent. The assortment of Caribbean juices was also really fun to try. The Sorrel juice was my favorite, an absolute must. I was impressed with how healthy everything was. The restaurant was also very clean. We will definitely be regulars here.”

“Our family goes there to eat all the time, the food is delicious!! Highly recommended ? don't wait to try the food, everything is delicious, thank you very much! They are always very kind to people too, see you laterParking: Because of the gas station and the delicious food there is not very many places to park buf believe me the wait is worth it!”

“I eat sushi 3 times a week. Nothing beats Sushi Bori. If you live in Houston… don’t even waste your time ordering somewhere else. You won’t be disappointed. Facts.”

“My wife and I dined here on a Thursday evening, and were sat somewhat awkwardly across from a group of three women dining together. We were the only people in the restaurant. The experience was --- interesting. As is common with tasting menu restaurants, there was a story to go with each dish presented. Also as common with this sort of thing, some dishes were better than others, and many were just okay. At $150 per person, it was on the expensive side, and I question whether it was worth that. Perhaps $100 would have been appropriate. A wine/cocktail option was offered for something like an additional $125, but everyone declined. We were filled to excess by the food, and found it difficult to imagine having space for drinks on top of that. An interesting experience, but we are unlikely to return at this price point. I think that I have decided that tasting menus just aren't my cup of tea, and I really prefer to go to a place where I can select exactly what I want.”

“This restaurant has amazing food!!! Some of my favorites are the crab-puffs, spring rolls and the ramen. They never disappoint, the wait for the food is a little slow but you can’t rush good food. Defenetly a 10/10 must visit this restaurant if you’re in the mood for ”

“My new favorite ice cream shop in town! The selection for both ice cream and toppings are slightly limited (12 flavors + 6 toppings), but every single flavor is unique and delicious!”

“I went here for the first time last night and it was incredible. I just moved to Texas from Napa Valley and it's the first place that has food done in the cooking style I do. It was 3.75 well drinks, live music. I had fried zucchini (incredible) prime ribBread pudding and pecan pie. It was an experience I absolutely needed and our server was perfect. Thank you so much! A must go and will be returning”

“The atmosphere in this place is very safe and calming which allows you to be yourself. The drinks are amazing with a great amount of variety . I recommend anything with mango popping boba because it’s is delicious.”

“Mama G was so amazing! Her customer service was exceptional. If you’re looking for a place to relax, have a great time and have some amazing daiquiris, hurricane hut should be a staple for you. Sports games, lounge parties, summer crawfish are all reasons to stop by and enjoy yourself.”
