Far and away the best restaurant in Houston. I’d recommend everything on the menu without hesitation.
We had another incredible dinner tonight and we were so happy to introduce our neighbors. Elizabeth was absolutely amazing as usual and the chef did what he does, absolutely wow’d us. We shared a few apps and entrees and left extremely satisfied. We are grateful to have Belly of the Beast so close by.
We have had the pleasure of eating here many times and are always very pleased with our meal and environment!!
