I was looking for a place with a good menu variety for a celebratory dinner. Typically we do steaks but I wanted to have some flexibility for the tastebuds and try to find something that served a lot of the things we like. Apps: Coconut Shrimp-I felt they were fried slightly too long because they were pretty dark but the crispness was nice. And the shrimp didn't taste dry even without the sauce. My companion wasn't a fan of the aioli sauce-felt it would have paired better with a traditional sweet and sour but I didn't mind it. Forbidden Eggs - I was intrigued especially when I heard this was one of the popular items. I specifically asked was it like deviled eggs and was told no because it was fried but still runny. But that wasn't the case -it was indeed a boiled eggs with some fry technique but the yolk was just boiled yolk and then had the accoutrements of the sauce and scallions. It was a unique taste but not as flavorful and not the experience I expected after the description. Pork Belly- liked the presentation of lighting seasoning underneath. This was consumed by my companion and he liked it. Dinner We both selected the field & tide. I subbed the pommes for a mushroom risotto because of my nightshade allergy. I think that helped make the plate more filling. The steak is a decent serving and it was cooked a perfect medium. The crab cake tasted slightly salty to me but overall light and enjoyable. The risotto had a pleasant density and I actually savored it for my last bites. Drinks: Foggy Fig -No complaints from my companion but I did notice he didn't drink it as fast as most drinks he tries at dinner. Raspberry & Lemon smash - this was my non alcoholic drink - - of which they have several to choose from - - it was good. I found most of the simple syrup at the bottom which made the last few sips very sweet. Dessert Pecan Pie + ice cream - I liked the rich flavor of the pie. It almost tasted like there was a touch of alcohol inside but I was told there wasn't. The pie crust was soft which I prefer. Ice cream scoop was just large enough to last for the entire piece and didn't take away from the flavor. Bread pudding - received no complaints Service - seems to be a team concept so we had Melina and Griggs both of whom were really pleasant and attentive. They kept our water glasses stocked which is not always a given. We came on a Saturday night and not even half of the restaurant was filled however it did seem that our food took longer than expected. Particularly for the drinks and appetizers. But the entrees came fairly quickly after we finished our apps and dessert came within five minutes of ordering.

A great location for a business lunch. It’s a good pace and the food options are appropriate. The food was good and the service likewise.

This restaurant was really phenomenal! Their cocktails were especially tasty, and they had so many options! The buffalo cauliflower was also delicious, it actually was the first time I enjoyed having blue cheese. I also got to talk to the owners and the chef, and they were all so kind and clearly put in a lot of thought and care into their work. It's also a cute and classy ambiance in the heart of downtown, walking distance to other places and bars.

One of the best restaurants in Houston. The food is incredible, complex and full of flavor, and the team is wonderful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the curry! Make sure to grab a fun drink at the bar. Their spicy margaritas and old fashions can't be beat.

I visited for Valentines 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️service / food. Chef John Suarez out did himself. I had the turtle soup, chateaubriand steak and cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Everyone from the owner, our server and the waitstaff were so gracious and helpful. I will definitely be back soon.
We showed up on Valentine's Day – a group of three who were in Houston on business. Didn't realize there was only a $99 price fix menu. Did not feel like it was a good value for the money.

We went on a Friday night and there was NO ONE there. I asked the server if that was typical on a Friday night, he said no and they were wondering where everyone was! Out food was delicious and the service was great. The restaurant is beautiful and we will absoutley return again. Thank you for an wonderful evening!

We were on our way to Finn Hall but we parked in front of The Nash and decided to give it a try and OMG we weren't disappointed. Everything as delicious and very well seasoned, the braised short ribs pasta was out of this world and so was the AROD pasta. This is definitely one of my new places to

We went here for Happy Hour. The lamb lollypops were small and had mostly fat. The tater tots were so-so. The waiter was not attentive at all even though the restaurant was not busy. Very ho-hum.

We found this gem while searching for a place to eat before a show at the Hobby Center. (About an 8 block walk) We met the owners and really enjoyed our meal. Only negative feedback is the food is a bit pricy which we were not expecting based on the 2 $$ listed on maps/Open Table. Because of the dinner menu prices it should have been at least 3 if not 4 $s... Salad was $14 and to add chicken it was another $15!! ? I couldn't justify spending $30 on a salad so went ahead with the $54 8oz filet with a baked potato but the potatoes were mashed... not a baked potato like the menu said. But the food was just wonderful and we will be back.
Great restaurant - handled our busy table of 17 with aplomb. Bread pudding for the dessert win!

I don't even understand how they got the parm fries to even taste like that, it's an incredible elevation for such a modest product.

Me and the spouse decided to do a staycation downtown Houston and “The Nash” restaurant was next to the hotel we stayed at. When we walked into the restaurant, there was no host at the stand, so we decided we would sit at the bar. We get to the bar and the bartender did not give us a proper welcome and just said she would be with us shortly. She appeared to be the only bartender making drinks and she was also serving tables throughout the restaurant (outside the bar area). Once we received our food, the burger was half cooked and the bartender did not once ask us how the food was. The overall atmosphere around this holiday season was actually pretty nice, but we decided we would not return. The restaurant food was bland and they could serve to work on improving their interactions with their customers.

This restaurant is lovely. When we pulled up I was immediately relieved with our choice before seeing The Nutcracker at Wortham. They have a beautiful Christmas tree up, and the decor is very tasteful and relaxing. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Drinks were delicious. I had the Short Rib Pappardelle and my husband had the salmon with mushroom risotto. The Pappardelle was surprisingly spicy and had a very unique flavor. We really enjoyed it. My husband said his salmon was cooked perfectly and we are both ready to go back for more risotto. It was perfection! Everything was hot and fresh. The owner came over after our meal as not to intrude on our date night which was so thoughtful. The story of their menu creation is very interesting. I'll let him tell you when you check it out yourself...We'll certainly be back. Thank you for a very enjoyable dinner. Merry Christmas!
Portion sizes were laughable. Three of us got salads that were side salad sized and one person got the tiniest salmon filet ever. The dessert was even tiny. We felt ripped off. Won't dine there again.
