Modern, inventive and delectable food. What a great experience. Great service too.
We ate there Saturday night, family style in a reserved room. What an encredible ambience. Very retro prihibition vibe. Chef picked our dishes and did not disappoint. Every single morsel was delicious. Very innovative. You'll definitely find something unique to try. Would go there regularly if I lived in Houston. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Went for the first time yesterday, and Theodore Rex did not disappoint!
Ambiance before sunset was calm and comforting, and after sunset it changed to intimate, moody and romantic. Was neat to experience both in the same meal.
The menu looked great, and we settled on three shared plates and one main dish - all family style. My husband and I had so much fun EATING this meal. The flavors and textures complemented each other well, leaving me feeling giddy!

Theodore Rex is a small, upscale restaurant located in a vibrant warehouse district, offering a cozy and intimate dining experience. The menu features dishes designed for sharing, with small plates allowing diners to explore a variety of flavors. Standout dishes include greens & beans, tomato toast, cured Japanese turnips, and raw oysters. The coconut chicken, glazed in coconut and accompanied by anchovy garlic chili ginger sauce, is highly recommended for its tenderness and flavor. The beef is also noted as very good. Prices tend to be on the higher side, and reservations are advised due to the restaurant's popularity and small size. The warm and inviting atmosphere, enhanced by well-curated background music, makes it a great spot for special occasions or casual nights out. The restaurant's clear love for food is reflected in its unique dishes, and the cozy setting with exposed brick and a relaxed vibe creates a memorable dining experience.
