This place is fantastic! I had brunch with my friends on Sunday. The ambiance on the covered patio is amazing. we had the Mystery mimosas. Several rounds of different flavored mimosas that you had to guess. The food was fabulous and the service was excellent. The chef came out several times to check on us. The staff was very friendly. it's a little pricey but I will definitely be going back. read more

**Astor's Table -- My New Obsession!** I finally made it to Astor's Table for brunch, and let me tell you -- it *slaps*! I'd been eyeing the reviews for a while and went in with high hopes, and this spot did **not** disappoint. We kicked things off with their "Mystery Mimosa" (\$16.95), and here's the kicker: each additional mimosa up to five rounds is just **ONE PENNY**. Dangerous... and totally worth it. For food, I had the ribeye steak and eggs with cheese grits, and it was next-level delicious. My partner ventured into new territory and tried the fufu with oxtails for the first time -- he was absolutely blown away. The vibe? Impeccable. Great food, strong drinks, attentive service, and a DJ spinning beats for a diverse, energetic crowd of all ages. We were having such a good time that we *couldn't leave without ordering more food to go* -- lamb chops and cheese grits, which were so good I was practically gnawing the bones clean. No regrets! Bottom line: if you're hunting for incredible food, fun drinks, and a brunch scene with serious personality, look no further than Astor's Table. Can't wait to come back! read more

I could've sworn I did this review already with pics but it disappeared. Ugh. Great place. Easy shared parking. Nice service. We sat on patio but it was too hot in May so we moved inside. We ordered a mezcal margarita. They had penny mimosas but we weren't going to drink much. We ordered a ceviche's and the steak meat that hangs from the skewers. Food was delicious. Overall I loved my experience and do want to return. read more

I can't tell you how glad I am to have found this place. It's absolutely amazing, everyone is very attentive the chef came by to greet everyone. Mimosas are great and the Oxtails are flavorful. I will definitely be a regular. Jada my sever was wonderful!! The DJ was awesome too! read more

Just left with my husband. The food was so good I forgot to take pictures! I ordered the oxtail and grits with a side a fruit and my husband ordered the oxtail and Mac & cheese and we share an order of red velvet pancakes. We came as soon as they opened so no one was there but us. The music and cultural art was a vibe. The chef even came out to see if everything was okay. 1000/10! We will definitely be back. read more

This place is amazing and Chef Casey is awesome!! I don't have a pic of my food because after I took the first bite I couldn't stop. The catfish was seasoned and fried to perfection and the grits were excellent! The chocolate cake was a perfect finish to the meal. read more

My wife and I share birthdays right next to each other (8/21-8/22) and decided we wanted to do a birthday dinner here and explore the HRW menu. We came on Saturday 8/23 at 7pm after being able to make a reservation the same day. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the hostess and seated right away. Our server Santi came by and introduced himself and was friendly and after getting water, took our orders. Their HRW menu consists of 3 courses for $55/person. At some point after receiving their complimentary bread, we started noticing people around us getting their starters before us even though we had ordered ahead of them. Eventually, our server came by with our starters and asked us if we wanted our entrees right away because they forgot about our starters and the entrees would be done in one minute. Being it was an extremely tiny table, it kind of seemed we were forced to either quickly eat our starters or have our entrees waiting. To start, we ordered the mini bunny chow and empanadas. Both were tasty, however, quite small in portion size. I ordered the jollof rice with oxtails as my main and my wife had the whole fried branzino. The jollof rice and oxtails were decent, however, I had multiple bites of hard rice. The main issue was with my wife's entree. The fish was supposedly marinated but upon tasting, the entire fish was completely bland. We had to taste it multiple times to confirm -- there was a significant lack of seasoning. The plantains it came with were also underwhelming and the salad it came with had no dressing and was wet. At this point my wife and I were desperately trying to make the best out of the experience here but to our avail, we were met with a few more mishaps. Our water was only refilled once and only upon asking and waiting for a while. We wanted to quickly end our entrees and have our dessert and move on. We ordered the cheesecake and crème brûlée. I'm assuming the cheesecake was store bought and that's fine -- just nothing special and underwhelming. The crème brûlée on the other hand -- had a very watery consistency, indicating it was under/overcooked. Overall, we had a poor experience and the value of the entire meal did not reflect the pricing it had. We wanted to give a new place that had good reviews a try and were disappointed, especially it being our birthday celebration. We hope this review creates actions by the restaurant to better themselves in the future. read more

Was looking for a new brunch place and stumbled on this place. It wasn't until we drove into the parking lot that I realized that I had been there for restaurant week a few years back. Ambiance 3/5 Food 4.5/5 Service 4/5 We almost walked out after the hostess seated us because she indicated there were flies next to the window table, which is why she didn't want to sit us there. While I appreciate the honesty, I don't appreciate flies buzzing around my food. After looking around, I didn't see anything overt, so we sat down anyways. The food was good but be warned, mild or spicy has quite a bit of heat. I remembered from the first time and asked the mild sauce to be on the side. However, it came out on the food, so I had to send it back. Usually I would roll with it, but I would have only enjoyed one bite. Fried beef empanada 5/5: This was a nice appetizer bite. Fried nicely with a flaky crust and stuffed generously with ground beef. Would def get this again or one of each kind. Croissant eggs benedict 5/5: Eggs cooked perfectly and ingredients layered well so every bite was balanced. Chicken and waffles 4/5: Egg also cooked perfectly here and the waffle had a great flavor with what I thought was a hint of cinnamon? Or maybe it was from the syrup. Minus a star because I thought the chicken could have been crispier. Both entrees came with roasted potatoes - they were just ok. Definitely did not need that much. Both also came with a mini fruit cup with 4 pieces of fruit. The wait staff was attentive and the manager swung by to check on us. Minus one star on service because my chicken had sauce when I asked for it on the side. read more

Outstanding "family owned" (not corporate) restaurant. Simple and easy decor with splashes of African and South American art. It's listed as a brunch spot on Yelp, but they have a full South African and South American "fusion" menu. We did breakfast dishes, and my steak and eggs were wonderful, with the steak being amazingly tender, and cooked to perfection. The vegan salad made a nice appetizer, and all the fruit on the salad was very fresh, and nicely sweet. We told them it was our first visit, and Chef Casey came out to personally greet us, and give us a slice of signature cake to try for dessert. I am always happy to support family owned businesses, and I plan to return and bring more of my friends with me. read more

Drinks were a hit as well (make sure to go on bottomless mimosa day) and our server is Santiago was on point with his recommendations, his attentiveness and overall greatness was chef's kiss. They snapped for my last day in Houston and left a lasting impression. You've gotta try it. read more

Have you tried this place? If not... get yourself over there - Astors table is a delightful dining experience from first greeting to mints on the way out the door. I ordered the Jollof rice with chicken, it was richly spiced, juicy, delicious and texturally delightful. My colleagues enjoyed the steak and eggs and Flame Braai - there was a deep hush over the table as we devoured generous helpings. Our server was Lowa, she was gracious, attentive, sweet and hilarious - and the chef Casey stopped by to thank us for our patronage. I don't live in Houston, but if I did this would be my go-to restaurant for a delicious African meal!! You can't go wrong read more

Lemme tell ya. We LOVED this place! The owner is walking around greeting every table, she is so nice and is doing it all right! The flavors of all dishes are superb. I would have NEVER put cinnamon in my rice but wow it was one of my favorite things. The beef AND chicken empanadas were 12/10. I could seriously make those an entire meal. Their bread is home made and absolutely delicious. They have indoor and covered outdoor patio seating options. 11/10 would recommend trying them out! read more

Made a reservation on Open Table and the parking lot had a good amount of spaces. Service was fast and fresh and when I had a question about the food the chef came out and clarified everything which was nice. He had also come out earlier to ask how we were and if we liked the food-always a nice personal touch. We came here for Houston Restaurant Weeks and because we always pass it on our way to my son's class. Overall pretty good except for that one issue which was solved and everyone was so nice. They have a piano player singing for brunch and we really enjoyed our visit. read more

We came here before a concert in Katy for restaurant week. They had plenty of parking for us to park. We decided to sit inside since outside was still a bit humid for us. Inside the ambiance was great! We were greeted right away, sat down and had drinks in our hands within minutes. Our server was amazing! She asked us our names and called us by our names the whole night! She was amazing! The menu was very extensive. They had everything from vegetarían to every different meat you could think of. The chef/owner even came out to greet our table and explain some menu items. We were there on a Friday and they had a guy singing. He has a great voice and it was very soothing to listen while eating. The food was so delicious and had so much flavor! Overall we had a great time and will definitely come back when in the Katy area!! read more

I went to Aster's table last night. What a complete delight. Firstly made a last-minute reservation and they fit us in on a Saturday night. That alone is quite a feat, but to them have such a pleasant experience was incredible. We had the South African sampler appetizer a lovely South African wine And for the entrée I had oxtails which were not South African by any means but they were so wonderful it really did not matter where they came from. I met Casey Castro, who is the owner and it was quite pleasant to speak to him during our meal. He was affable friendly. The waitress was absolutely attentive to our every needs yet we probably sat oh I would estimate three hours and had just a lovely paced dinner. The ambience of the restaurant is just lovely numerous paintings and surrounded by wines from many different continents. This is a place not to be missed and why I waited so long to go. I will never be able to tell you. But I will be back now. read more

Came here for a double date night to catch up with friends. It wasn't too busy or loud for dinner which was great for conversations. I loved the ethnic cuisine and will definitely be back to try some more of it, especially the oxtails. The owner was also nice to stop by our table and greet us. Definitely recommend! read more

I love the story behind this restaurant. The owner can be seen walking around greeting guests and telling the story. The inside is more intimate while the outside is perfect for patio brunch vibes. I have been to this restaurant 3 times and never been disappointed. The unique flavor profile is what sets their food apart. If you go on Sunday, enjoy their penny mimosas. peri peri wings 10/10 oxtails 8.5/10 mussels 9/10 curry goat 7/10 ( needed more curry in my opinion) peri peri shrimp and ribeye 9/10. read more

Promptly greeted with a friendly hello upon entrance. We had reservations but it was pretty empty the morning we came for brunch. This is my 2nd time & the last visit we definitely needed the reservation. Got the French toast & peri peri chicken wings. The peri peri chicken is spicy but just the right amount. Hubby likes medium spicy. I prefer a little spicy & we both were satisfied. My 2nd wing had a little more sauce on it & the heat from the pepper lingered after each bite & opened up my sinus a little bit. I would not have been able to handle any higher spice level on the chicken! Fruit cup was just a tasting size but the fruit was very ripe & fresh. French toast was soft & full of cinnamon. It was good. The platter was very filling. However, with only 2 whole pieces (4 slices) of French toast, I actually felt like I wanted more French toast & less chicken & potatoes. I had 1 wing & lots of potatoes to take home. Enjoyed sitting outside in the covered eating area with the background music playing. The seating is close to the street so you can actually see & hear the cars pass down the street. No issue at all for me. Parking is free in the strip mall type parking lot. I definitely will return & try more dishes. I enjoy the food & atmosphere. If you have family or friends who are not adventurous eaters, you may want to visit first then decide if to bring them. read more

Wow! The food here is exceptional and consistently delicious! My family and I have gone a few times and have now brought my parents from out of town. They request we go there every time they're visiting. The menu is so unique and you will definitely find something for everyone. I've been to some of the best steakhouses and I can honestly say their steak is better and again, it's consistently done well. We have had the oxtails, seafood polenta, churrasco, branzino, dirty rice, and even kids meals that turn out amazing! Who knew Mac and cheese could be so fancy! The staff is incredibly kind and knowledgeable, especially Sue! She always spoils us as if we are part of her family. Owner Chef Casey is always greeting and checking in with diners. He has an incredible story as to how he came to open the restaurant too that he gladly shares. He ensures that you know you are "home" in his restaurant. He absolutely makes sure you feel at home, but still spoiled by attention to detail and wonderfully crafted dishes. The ambiance is romantic as well as family friendly. They have an incredible bar with a wide variety of liquor and wine. Either way, you are welcomed. I can't say enough about this fantastic menu and how consistently great it is. If you haven't tried it or aren't sure....you MUST! You won't be sorry. Chef Casey is a treasure! read more

We came for a friend brunch to catch up. Reservations were easy to make. We went at 1pm so it wasn't crowded at all. Our waitress was helpful and attentive. We ordered the mystery penny mimosa. They bring random flavors and you pay for the first and up to 5 more for a penny each. Great deal! We ordered 2 different appetizer samplers (not pictured). The best dish from what we ordered was the Epetada. The menu is interesting and we'll definitely be back to try more things. There was a DJ out on the patio. We couldn't hear it inside but it was loud outside. read more

Best thing here was the African Oxtail! The meat was fall off the bone and so tender. The sauce that it swam in was so flavorful. It had some carrots and potatoes in the sauce as well, cooked nicely. The dish came with rice and plantains as well. For drinks, got the Margarita with tajin on the rim and it was pretty good and strong. Good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Chef even came out and greeted us, which I thought was nice and good hospitality. Parking - free within the plaza read more

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the restaurant for dinner the last weekend of Houston Restaurant Weeks. What an amazing experience I give this restaurant am A+ on food, ambience, and staff!

Great experience! Good food, great ambiance, the chef/owner came to speak to us, he was very friendly and you can tell he's passionate about what he does. It was my first time trying South African food and it was a good experience. I had the sampler as an appetizer, which came with about 5 different kinds of meats, and the chicken kabob with feta. It was really good and the portions are big! read more

My fiancé and I decided to dine here because the atmosphere looked calm and upscale, but our experience was very disappointing. When we arrived, there were only two other couples dining, so it wasn't busy at all. After sitting for about 10 minutes, no one greeted us or asked if we needed anything. Eventually, a server approached and asked if we had reservations -- we said no -- and she simply walked away without offering to assist us. We noticed the staff promptly serving the other couples, who happened to be white, while we were left completely unattended. It was uncomfortable and disheartening, especially since we came in ready to enjoy a nice brunch together. When we decided to leave, the staff quickly opened the door for us without saying a word, which only added to the feeling that we weren't welcome there. I truly hope this wasn't intentional, but the lack of basic hospitality and courtesy was unacceptable. read more

Came for HRW, but their special menu didn't speak to us. Their regular menu, however, is robust and inviting. Empanadas: we tried the beef, chicken, and ham and cheese. The pastry of each was crispy on the outside and doughy inside. I'm not sure which I preferred or if I had a preference...they weren't all that distinguishable. Not bad, but I'm at a loss to go so far as to recommend them. The chimichurri sauce is the real show-stopper. Absolutely fantastic The Safari Benedict is a beautifully plated dish. The eggs were perfectly poached, as was their hollandaise sauce. The beef was a little chewy but not lacking flavor. I split this dish with my mom--more than enough food for two people. The real puzzler of the meal: the flavor profile of the grits??? I wasn't able to identify it, but it was off-putting and something reminiscent of sadness. I can't say this enough: the chimichurri sauce is freaking awesome. As is the Malva Cake...excuse me while I wipe my drool away. Outside of the food, the serving staff are amiable, helpful, and extremely welcoming. Our waiter even went so far as to learn our names. Nice touch, Astor Management. read more

Service was good, greeted by the chef upon entry. The aesthetic of the restaurant was real nice as I sat outdoor. I ordered the steak and eggs and wasn't impressed but wasn't disappointed. The eggs were average although hard to judge as they came out sunny side up when I usually order scrambled. Steak had some decent flavor but did not quite like the texture. Portion of steak was appropriate. Roasted potato's tasted like roasted potato's nothing more. Love yours, ExquisiteTasteBuds read more

***Revised review to 1 star due the response received, lacked empathy and accountability. Good luck to you chef.*** 2nd time here. This place had meaning as it was my boyfriend and I's 1st date. I ordered the oxtails, waffle and a caesar salad. My boyfriend ordered the oxtail with mac & cheese with a side of grits. With our food, we also had drinks. The oxtail was definitely a 9, grits an 8, while the waffle (cold), potatoes and mac & cheese ranged from a 2-3. I was shocked that the mac & cheese tasted like it came out of a box and the potatoes had no flavor. Also, stunned that they didn't offer a side Caesar salad option, I had to order a full salad which came with chicken that I didn't want. My boyfriend enjoyed his margaritas, I ordered a South African wine and it was great. The bill was $145, with tip $170. The chef came out and asked how things were, though I appreciated him doing this he did not accommodate and offer another option for the things we weren't pleased with. Lastly, to note when we walked in we were the only customer, I told the person that greeted us out the gate when my boyfriend walked away that it was his birthday and to pass to our server. Yet I had to remind again at the end, and when the cake was brought out it was with little to no enthusiasm, and was asked if he wanted them to sing HBD. I have no problem with paying what I paid today, but to pay that it should come with exceptional food and service across the board. We definitely will not be returning. read more

This place was so nice. The head chef even visited our table to check on us.

AI've been itching to try this spot out for a while and finally got the chance to do so with a friend this afternoon for brunch. I made a reservation a few days before and was quickly sat upon my arrival. I loved the vibes as they had a DJ playing afrobeats and soca music. There was a patio which would be nice for great weather but we opted to sit inside for today. The menu was very extensive which I could appreciate. I wasn't sure what to get so I played it safe and ordered the peri peri chicken and waffles with a side of eggs. The chicken was pretty good and well fried. I added the spicy chimichurri sauce which took it over the top. The waffle was really good! It was a Belgian waffle that was sweet and had a nice crunch to it which is always my favorite. I also ordered both baked and fried beef empanadas which were delicious, served with a side of chimichurri sauce. I got the mystery mimosa which was $15 but everyone after that was 1 penny (up to 5 rounds). I enjoyed the different flavors and would definitely come back for it again. Unfortunately I would have to say the service was frustratingly slow for us. It appears that our waiter (Zue)had a large party that she was tending to so it caused us to be neglected. We had to get other waiters to assist us when we couldn't get her attention. She was very nice and tried to do her best I presume, but we honestly didn't feel like a priority so they probably should've given our table to someone else to assist because we did see quite a few other waiters that didn't appear as busy. Also the restaurant itself wasn't very busy in my opinion. There was a couple of people (possibly managers) that did stop by and ask if we were okay which we appreciated so it turned around a bit towards the end. We also were greeted by chef Casey and he thanked us for coming by so that was also greatly appreciated. I would definitely give them another chance since the menu looks very good and they have different specials throughout the week. read more
