Tapas Restaurants in Houston, TX

“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.“

“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.“

“Visited after seeing their billboard which featured a seemingly perfectly fried wing dripping with hot sauce. We were not disappointed! Wings were cooked to a beautiful crisp, were steaming hot, and served wet with sauce. We tried Korean BBQ, Hot, Mardi Gras, and Hot Honey. Korean bbq was surprisingly spicy. Hot was a nice standard buffalo flavor, not too hot or salty. Mardi Gras was flavorful, but very mild and perfect for those who don’t like spicy food. The hot honey was good but I probably wouldn’t order it again. There are some flavors I’d still like to try like spicy peach 🍑. The french fries were seasoned well and were served hot and fresh. The fried corn was a special surprise that I would highly recommend you try. The guys running the place were very friendly and accommodating. Give em a try. We went to the Midtown location.“

“I have been coming here for afterwork happy hours for years now. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed with live music on occasion. The bar staff is top notch and really take care of you - shout out to Adan and Jose for holding it down! Can honestly say I've never had bad service here. Highly recommend Whitehall for a weekend stay if you're passing through or a stop at part & parcel if you find yourself killing time downtown.“

“This place was sick! It’s a covered patio that’s been converted to an intimate, artsy and cozy space. It reminded me of the cocktail scene in Tucson or Mexico City. I’ve never been anywhere in Houston that compares. The food also delivered more than expected. We ordered the quesadilla and it was huge (big enough for two) and delicious! Let’s keep this gem alive Houston! Will def be back.“

“The place was amazing, I went with a group of friends for my birthday to the Sunday service event they had and it was superrrr fun. It was also some of our first times at a drag show and it exceeded our expectations. The food and service were great. 10/10 atmosphere we would absolutely come again.“

“Casual relaxing atmosphere with an amazing selction of wines and great cuisine !“

“This is my new go to spot for sushi in Houston. I love the River Oaks location“

“Awesome place....my husband and I were here this past weekend for our 24th Anniversary and really enjoyed it & will definitely be back! Thanks so much Sabreen & Michelle for being so wonderful!“

“The food was outstanding! The customer service was great. Both Roshida and Kia were very attentive to our group of 10. We will definitely be going back again.“

“Thanks to our waitress/sommelier, Mark and Sydney, our experience was outstanding. Food is great, wonderful selection and service incredible. The inside of the restaurant is much prettier but we chose to sit in the sunroom. Nice room but nothing special and that was our choice to sit there. We'll definitely be coming back and can't wait for better weather so we can sit outside.“

“The owners are very nice. Food is like home cooking. Tastes like you're back at the islands.“

“Amazing food and drinks. Fantastic atmosphere and service!“

“I only recommend just take the food and bring your own coffees because their coffee tastes is awful and the prices of the foods are reasonable“

“Unfortunately, Julep did not have air condition and then Houston, Texas in August that is unacceptable. We were told when we checked in however we had already paid for transportation to the bar. Since I had a reservation, I should've been called and given the courtesy heads up. I have come to Julep many times and enjoyed it however this was not a good way to treat their customers, especially repeat ones. “

“I went there this past Sunday night. First time and definite won’t be my last. Their Black Ink Paella reminds me of my time in Spain. Love it.“

“Henry and Anthony made our first time experience the best. They made us feel comfortable, showed us around and let us use the photobooth. The drinks and the ambiance was amazing. Definitely recommend coming back. Had such and amazing night.“

“The food from the Bruchetta appetizer to the pizza, pasta, and finally dessert was outstanding! There was one thing better than the food though.....the service! Tori was phenomenal! Service truly worthy of the finest restaurant in Houston! Highly recommend the restaurant, and highly recommend asking to sit in Tori's section. You will not regret it!“
