“The seafood here is so fresh and absolutely delicious! If you order fried food be sure to order it “seasoned.” My recommendation: seafood gumbo and the Mate Plate seasoned. You choose two proteins. I like the fried catfish filets and fried shrimp with hush puppies. If you prefer, they can broil the proteins. SO GOOD!“

“My husband and I are in Houston for his cancer treatment at MD Anderson. Needless to say, not a trip for fun, but it’s his birthday today, and we wanted to get out of the hotel at the hospital and celebrate just a little. Because he has stage 4 stomach cancer, his dietary needs are limiting, so eating out can be difficult. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. This being our first trip to Houston, we know little about the area, and our cab driver helped us decide on Navy Blue. Well, can I just tell you, they were soooooo accommodating of our needs!!! The chef went out of his way to prepare some special items for us, so my husband could eat. Though his portion size is limited, he thoroughly enjoyed his food, as did I. I ordered a small appetizer of baked in butter Prince Edward Island oysters, simply prepared, and oh so delicious. My husband loves oysters, but they haven’t loved him since he’s been sick. He even had one, and enjoyed it. My husband also loved the cheddar biscuits, and seaweed butter, I couldn’t believe he was able to eat the whole biscuit. They have a simply prepared section in their menu, and you can order your seafood pan seared in olive oil with simple seasonings. This was great for his situation, and he had beautiful pink juicy gulf shrimp. I had the Dover sole, and it was perfectly prepared and boned tableside. Gorgeous presentation, and the fish was absolutely delicious. I ordered the sautéed spinach, and he the creamed potatoes. We shared those, and both were delicious. All the staff were well trained in service and they were super attentive. Our server was magnificent. Thank you Navy Blue for showing us a lovely night out, in an otherwise difficult time. We highly recommend your restaurant to anyone in the Houston area looking for fabulous food, fabulous service, and exquisite attention to detail. This place is wonderful!!!“

“We had an amazing experience at Balboa! Starting with the complimentary valet, which was quick and friendly service. The entry to the restaurant was super nice and a great photo opportunity spot. Kyrah took excellent care of us during our visit, and we loved the team style service. It felt like we had a team serving us, and they are so quick and quiet that you can continue to hold conversations and visit but someone is always near if you need anything. Kyrah took special care to "refresh" our cocktail glasses when we finished about half of our drinks, and made excellent recommendations. The food was absolutely amazing. Our table tried the fried shrimp, oysters, spicy ahi tuna roll, crab cake, Post Oak ribeye with pureed potatoes, salmon with the most delicious and unique salad, and heirloom tomatoes. The cocktails were delicious, including the Gold Rush, Rum Dum, and el Guero. The restaurant vibe is romantic but fun and sophisticated and has an open kitchen concept where you can see the food being made if you care to watch. I will most definitely be back and can confidently recommend this place to anyone!“

“Staffs are friendly. Mainly here for crawfish, really tasty, asked for 5 lb and get 5 lb. Enjoyed it.“

“My husband and I have been loyal patrons of Goode Company Seafood for years and have always enjoyed our dining experiences. Shelley, our longtime waitress, has been an integral part of those visits. She was always warm, welcoming, and attentive, knowing exactly what we liked. We were saddened to learn that she was recently let go. While we don’t know the reasons behind this decision, her absence has certainly been felt, and our dining experience hasn’t been the same without her. We truly miss her and hope she may return someday, as she brought something special to every visit.“

“Eddie V’s never misses, and this visit was no exception. As always, the service was absolutely perfect — attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish.

We ordered the salmon, crab fried rice, asparagus, lobster, and steak, and every single dish was spot‑on. The flavors were rich, the portions generous, and everything came out beautifully prepared. And of course, we couldn’t leave without the banana foster — the perfect sweet finish to an already incredible meal.

The atmosphere made it an ideal place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Elegant, comfortable, and just the right vibe for a special night out.

Another unforgettable experience. Eddie V’s continues to set the standard.“

From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly warm, positive, and genuinely welcoming. The service felt attentive without being intrusive, and there was a real sense of comfort and hospitality that made the whole experience feel homely and relaxed.

After a disappointing experience at a neighboring restaurant earlier, this place honestly felt like a breath of fresh air. We immediately felt welcomed and cared for, which made a huge difference in our dining experience.

The food itself was hearty, fresh, and had a very comforting, home-style feel — simple in the best way and deeply satisfying.“

“I called ahead of time to ask if they had suya and they confirmed they did, which made our drive worthwhile. Got there and met the owner.. who was very friendly, polite and welcoming.
Food was ready about 20 minutes after order was placed and it was fresh, well seasoned, and a tasteful delight for my mouth to behold. I had suya and plantains while hubby had beef ribs suya with rice
We had a great time and will definitely be back.“

Came for a quick happy hour after work and it was 100% worth it. Definitely coming back and telling everyone I know 🙌“

“You know the place is gonna be fire when the windows are blacked out and as soon as you open the door you hear R&B playing. Staff was nice and attentive. Met the famous Mike and was super friendly. The crawfish was legit AF. Being from New Orleans it is nice to see people who know how to actually cook the mudgugs (actually season the water and not the shells). The crawfish is soo good that I took the heads and shells home to make my own crawfish stock and crawfish bisque. We will be back for sure and thanks Mike for making your restaurant feel like home.“

We ordered the shrimp & scallop Rockefeller but they were out of that appetizer unfortunately.

We will be back to try the shrimp & scallops Rockefeller!“
