Brunch
Alexus V.

This was our first time and it was the first Sunday of the month that there's a DJ from 11am to 3pm. If you're looking for great food, good music and just an all around good vibes--then this is the place! Our waiter was absolutely amazing!! He was very attentive and went over the menu and answered our questions without making us feel 'out of place'. The old fashioned went down smoothly. We started off with the lump crab dip-absolutely delicious and they didn't skimp on the crab either. I ordered the brunch quesadillas with Bloody Mary to wash it down (which it was so good the right amount of Tabasco and vodka). The quesadilla was ok, more like a pancake. It was slightly on the tangy side which threw my taste buds off and I just couldn't eat it. My friend ordered the French toast and I had a taste and holy moly- might be the fluffiest I've had! Add the strawberry butter and it sealed the deal. Overall, this place did not disappoint and the DJ is only there the first Sunday of every month. Reservations are required and I recommend sitting in the patio.

Came here for lunch after the rodeo and sadly I wasn't impressed at all. The ambiance/aesthetic is nice and the service was great however the food fell short in my opinion. I'm not sure if I would return.

Mother's Day Reservation @3:30pm When I say OVER RATED....It is an understatement. Please don't let the hype fool you. Please don't waste your hard earned money on poor service and cafeteria food.....This place is a glammed up Luby's and should be an insult to French cuisine. "Fine dining" with 1 star customer service and poor food quality... Hot drinking water...This was the first sign that things would be terrible. We asked the waitress why the water was hot and she replied "we didn't have time to cool it." .....QUE, COMO??? We were all appalled when that came out of her mouth. At that moment we should have left...Our waitress gave us the impression that we were inconveniencing her. Inattentive, unwelcoming, and rude.... Table was improperly set, half of us had silverware and the rest of us had to hunt down the waitress to get more. Other tables had flower decorations while ours was missing....sign of poor attention to detail. Coca Cola was flat. We asked the waitress if she could check on the carbonation and she never did. She said she did but I know a lie when I hear it....If you aren't drinking alcohol, they don't care if your coke is flat. My sister's lemonade or should I say "lemon water" was never refilled despite the waitress having multiple opportunities to check in on us. There were also multiple tables that had issues with the service. A man at the table behind us received his food but it sat there getting cold as he had to track down the waitress for silverware. Another outside table left prior to receiving their meal and another table of 2 sent their food back to the kitchen. We saw the male manager come over to their table to attempt to rectify the issue....THIS IS NOT A MOTHER'S DAY ISSUE, THIS IS A SYSTEM'S ISSUE. While we waited for our food we saw 2 employees taking shots with customers. Wait, so you mean to tell me that you have time to take shots but y'all can't make sure our drinking water is cold???? LOL! Unbelievable... This type of behavior creates a tacky restaurant culture. When ordering our food the waitress got snappy with my dad when he asked what was in the seafood pot pie. She replied "It's a roux" with an attitude... This visit was so emotionally exhausting. I have been to sooooo many places and this visit has really done a number on me. I'm drained just writing about this. Sighs... Remember that hot water I mentioned earlier? Well she finally brought out some ice after she took the water jug lol. "Here's some ice..." we were all like ummmmm too late sweetheart. Food finally arrived....I will say, the food came out fast! That was the only good thing as we couldn't wait to eat and get the heck out of dodge!!! We had popcorn shrimp, baked oysters, airline chicken, stuffed salmon, steak salad and seafood pot pie. Meh...for the prices we paid, they should be ashamed. At the end of our meal, my sister felt water leaking on her from the ceiling. We looked up and they had what looked like a silver floor transition strip attached to a vent and the water was seeping from it. I can't make this up...And yes, all of the above occurred during the same visit. What this tells me is that the owners either lack pride in their restaurant or have become hands off for other reasons. The staff seem very disjointed and struggle working as a team. I spoke with one of the managers up front and let her know I would be writing a review due to our disappointing experience. She was kind and apologized. I asked if they were short staffed and she said no it's because it's Mother's Day. Mother's Day is on the calendar every year and the management team has 364 days to properly create a plan that mitigates risk, while enhancing the customer experience. Y'all are in reactive/ survival mode, just trying to get to the close of day.... As a result, your customers have become the recipients of paying the cost, not just financially but emotionally. Please don't use Mother's Day as an excuse to drop the ball.... If you properly plan you won't have to be in survival mode on days such as today. Again...THIS IS NOT A MOTHER'S DAY ISSUE, THIS IS A SYSTEM'S ISSUE.

Seafood Pot Pie
Dominique N.

I love the idea of the place and the atmosphere, but the music was sleepy, the air conditioner was drippy (on me and my food) and my food was heavy. It was a large portion size and the servers were nice.

Seafood Pot Pie...this wasn't giving!
Tish P.

Came here for brunch a couple of times and we had reservations, which I'd definitely recommend. Parking is basically nonexistent. There's valet, but if you're thinking you're going to casually find a spot, think again. We ordered a good spread: crab fingers, baked oysters, wine, plenty of drinks, and the seafood pot pie. Food has been solid across the board. Nothing disappointed, and everything tasted well-executed. My main issue is the space. The restaurant is small af and the tables are extremely close together. It creates a level of intimacy with neighboring tables that I personally could do without. If you value a little breathing room while you eat and talk, that's something to keep in mind. Overall, the food and drinks were good and it's a nice spot for brunch, but the tight seating and parking situation take away from the experience a bit. I'd still go back, just with the right expectations.

I enjoyed coming here to have a quick brunch with friends. The food was tasty, would definitely like to try more of their menu! The ambience was nice while offering great natural lighting. Staff were fantastic and super friendly.

Caviar anyone
Tanveer S.

One of the few place that no matter how many time me you go doesn't disappoint. Service and food both amazing as always. The wine selection and specifically the pricing on it make this place a must for anyone

Seafood Pot Pie
Rachal R.

I had a great experience at A'Bouzy this weekend. The restaurant was having its periodic special of dozen gulf oysters for $3. The kitchen was backed up and we were told - so we ordered two dozen at the onset of brunch. There is a limit of one dozen per person for the special - after which the oysters are full price. On the website, escargot was listed on the menu, however, it was not listed on the brunch menu. We asked our waiter, Isidro, and he checked with the chef - and they were able to prepare the item which we enjoyed. We also had the French onion soup - it was very flavorful. I felt like the portion was small, however, personally, for soup, this is actually my preferance, as I find that French onion soup can be quite filling when I want other things. It came with a small salad. To end the meal, we had the seafood pot pie, another recommendation from Isidro. What a treat! Additionally we had two bottles of very reasonably priced champagne. We came in for the oyster special and stayed for the great brunch. Note: There is no bread service - but a popcorn starter which I find fun and a bit different. It was a lively scene. Lots of small groups that appeared to be celebrating something. Really a fun/casual vibe. I really appreciated the attentiveness of our waiter.

Crys R.

French restaurants aren't hard to come by in Houston but GOOD FRENCH restaurants are another story! A'Bouzy was just that, divine in atmosphere, tasty in all aspects! We had the caviar potato bites to begin with and my main course was the escargot (best I've had in Houston)! We celebrated a fellow friend's bday; although it was late, we were given exceptional service.

Cute place! Great service! Friendly staff! Food consistently great whether it be lunch or dinner.

I visited A'Bouzy with a group of eight ladies, and we decided to try their champagne and caviar pairing; it did not disappoint. Everything was already set up when we arrived, which made the whole experience flow smoothly. This was my first-time trying caviar, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but they paired it so well. It came with mini pancakes, cream cheese, red onions, chopped eggs, and capers, and each caviar was matched perfectly with a different champagne. Our server was wonderful and attentive. We also ordered the large charcuterie board, and it was amazing. The cocktails and wines were really good too. They offer valet parking for just $6, which was convenient. It was a very classy and elegant experience in which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Donuts
Jenn P.

I visited A'Bouzy for the first time and had such a great experience. It was a busy night and the bar was packed, so our table wasn't ready when we arrived. We waited at the bar and grabbed drinks, which made the wait easier. Once we sat down, the night really picked up. I ordered the deviled eggs, the marinated 5 spice shrimp pasta, the diver scallops with risotto, and the donuts. Every dish was delicious and full of flavor. The scallops and risotto were the standout for me. The service was amazing. The food was amazing. The drinks were amazing. The whole place had really good vibes even with how busy it was. There is valet and there is also street parking around the back. I would definitely come back again!

Char I.

Wow am I late to the party but I finally visited Abouzy! This is a sibling restaurant to succulent. It features a beautiful interior with a outdoor option for seating. I was raining on the day I went so indoor seating for me! This was my friend and my first time here and it just so happened that the oysters were on happy hour! I ordered some despite not liking raw oysters because they were 50 cents! And ya know what, I liked it! Our waiter was very helpful in helping us navigate the menu. I ordered off the restaurants weeks menu and my friend ordered off the standard menu. Now my dish, that I ordered I did not love. But my friends dish the seafood pot pie was fire! Wow I should have ordered that instead if was really good. We also ordered drinks and they were reasonably priced and perfectly prepared. Now although I did not love my dish I would definitely come back due to the good service!

Can I bring a one year old to brunch? I've been before, but only in the evening and I wouldn't bring him then. But what about 11am?

Yes people had children but not sure if I saw a 1 yr old

Are there mimosas for brunch?

Yes. I believe you can get them by glass or bottle.

How can we book a reservation when the phone lines remain busy during lunch time? I've tried OpenTable but the time of interest wasn't available. Any help is greatly appreciated

Book more in advanced of the date and time that you want, or call when it's not their busy meal hours (10a-11a, 2p-5p). If it's not avail on opentable, it's not likely to be available there since they have the same information you do.

Any bottomless mimosas?

Nope.

Is the outdoor dining space covered with fans?

Yes

Are there any vegan options for brunch?

How would you describe the dress code?

The interior makes you feel like you need to be dress nicely, but I don't believe there is an official dress code. Our party was dressed very casual when we visited and had no issues!

Hi, I check the menu 2 weeks ago, Dom Perignon a bottle (regular not the limited edition) on the website and today I check is not there, why?

When You checked we may have been out. We now have it back in stock. Our menus are interactive with inventory.

What time does brunch end?

Do they have Happy hour or any specials?

Our wines are at or below retail every day. We do .50cent Gulf Oysters every Monday from 11am -3pm and a Happy hour every Thursday from 3-6:30pm and Caviar at cost every Friday from 11am-6pm. Ie...a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow label is only $49… 

What is a good time to go when it's not so busy? Are reservations suggested?

I went on Thursday, 6:30. I did have reservations, but there were plenty of tables available. If you really want outdoor seating during these nice nights, I would make a reservation just to be sure.

Is the brunch atmosphere boozy, or is it too classy for that?

It is an upscale place. That being said, what they are known for is their rock bottom wine prices and the consumption that encourages. Nobody is dancing on tables, or stammering around in an inebriated state, but the staff does celebrate the…

This place is nearly pitch black. And I'm not saying this to blow up anyone's spot, it probably is a great spot for couples but it just wasn't my scene, especially when I vouched that it was a good place for me and my guy friend to chill. Also, the bartender wouldn't give me and my friend the time of day. I was really excited to see how this place made drinks and they wouldn't even service me and my friend...she just was checking her social media. I might come back here one day with a girlfriend I know VERY well, but as for now I'll keep my change and go somewhere else

Our server, Camille, took our order and then would disappear for 30+ minutes at a time. At one point, when we asked where she had been, she simply said she was "walking around." Her overall approach to serving us felt extremely nonchalant and inattentive. The atmosphere also made us feel as though the level of attention you receive depends on how much you're spending--particularly whether you're purchasing bottles. The servers seemed more focused on creating a bottle-service experience than providing attentive restaurant service. It gave the evening a very transactional, "pay for attention" feeling rather than genuine hospitality. What really sealed the experience for us happened after we had already paid our bill. A host approached our table and essentially said, "Can you leave now? We need to seat someone right now." There was no gracious transition, no "thank you for dining with us," and no polite explanation--just an abrupt request to leave. For a restaurant with such a beautiful ambiance and good food, the service and hospitality were incredibly disappointing. Guests should feel welcomed and valued from the moment they sit down until the moment they leave, regardless of whether they're ordering bottles.

That employee then had to go find Ashley for us. At that point, my friend looked at me and asked, "Do you just want to go eat somewhere else?" and I said yes. We were tired of waiting just for the opportunity to place our entrée order. So we enjoyed our appetizer and water , paid our $18 bill, and left to spend our money somewhere else. We absolutely intended to order a full meal and tip our server; unfortunately, the level of service never gave us much of an opportunity to do either. Before leaving, I did speak with the manager. She told me this was unusual for Ashley because she is normally one of their best servers and mentioned that they had a large party. However, that explanation didn't really change our experience. From where we were sitting, the restaurant did not appear overwhelmingly busy, and regardless, 20 minutes without even checking on a table that hasn't ordered its entrées is excessive. The manager said she would speak with Ashley, but the conversation honestly felt dismissive and like a waste of time. And just to be clear, I wasn't looking for my $18 bill to be comped. I paid it. I simply wanted the poor service to be acknowledged and taken seriously. We came prepared to eat, enjoy ourselves, spend money, and tip accordingly. Instead, we left and went somewhere else. Very disappointing experience.
