    Breggy Bomb Burger
    Jaime J.

    A great place to stop and get a bite or a drink before an Astros game but still worth stopping by if you're just around the area. The service was good and the food was really good as well. I got the Breggy Bomb Burger and it was so delicious. It was my first time trying a burger with an egg on it and I now understand the hype. I was also glad that I came in here starving as the portions were generous.

    Family lunch before the Astros  game  lunch was over the Top definitely worth the price and the service was Perfect!!!

    The reason I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars is because the service was exceptional. Our server's…read morename was Dequan and he was excellent. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the food. This was my first experience with Credence and the atmosphere was new, modern and a little noisy. The lunch gnocchi was my first experience with gnocchi (in particular cornmeal gnocchi) so I have nothing with which to compare; I would probably not have it again but it wasn't bad. I have had plenty of beet salads and this didn't make the top ten. The grilled tuna salad my husband ordered rated a 0 on a scale of 1-5. The tuna may have been grilled as advertised, but there was no evidence of it, and there was absolutely no taste to it. I would have expected there to be some seasoning, but again, no evidence. The green beans were so crunchy they might as well have been fresh-picked and the sauce over the snow peas was so tasteless, Ranch dressing would have been a huge improvement. I could only eat one, and I really like snow peas. Until they get a better chef, I will not be returning.

The ambiance was beautiful too, and the speakeasy was such a fun bonus. The monkey bread was the perfect way to start ! Warm, soft, and dangerously easy to keep eating. The baked potato was probably one of my favorite sides; it was super creamy with this crusted layer that basically melted in your mouth. The NY Strip steak was perfectly seasoned and definitely lived up to expectations. The branzino was fresh and cooked well, but the seasoning was a little too subtle for me, so it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. I also wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage. Overall though, Credence absolutely delivered. Great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere, and plenty of dishes I'd come back for.

I opted for the high top right by the kitchen, and honestly, great choice -- it smelled amazing. Most people prefer not to sit by the kitchen with all the foot traffic but I didn't mind it at all. Nobie's is a house that's been transformed into a restaurant. One of the bartenders told me it's a 104-year-old house, and the whole place has very "house party" vibes in the best way. The music is LOUD. And it gets progressively louder as the night goes on, so if that's not your vibe, keep that in mind. But I was very into it. Lil Flip was playing when I walked in and it took me back to high school house parties. On shuffle were more throwbacks and classics: Ludacris and "Notorious Thugs" by Biggie. The chairs, however, were not my favorite. They're low-backed and kind of cage-like, with only a thin cushion, so they aren't exactly the most comfortable for a long meal. Started with a cocktail: the Remolacha del Corazón -- beet tequila, mezcal, watermelon (house-made syrup), lime and a tajín rim. You can hardly taste the mezcal, which I'm assuming is the point. I like mezcal so it would have been nice to taste it but the beet tequila is definitely the star, with the watermelon and lime adding a nice balance. Appetizer: Don't Worry, Brie Happy ($18). Brie, local honey, smoked grapes, toast. There was basically no local honey on my plate, but those smoked grapes?! They're topped with flaky salt while they're still hot and OMG!! The combination of warm, smoky, sweet and salty was fantastic. My only complaint was the amount of toast. There was a little too much toast for the amount of brie and grapes, so the ratios felt slightly off. Main course: Jamón With Your Bad Self ($45). Ibérico secreto pork steak, tonnato, shaved Brussels sprouts, salsa verde and almonds. I'm particular about pork, so I was taking a bit of a chance here, but this dish sounded too interesting to pass up. The pork steak was cooked perfectly and had some wonderfully crispy pieces around the edges. The tonnato underneath the pork was really good. It almost reminded me of a Caesar dressing and added this rich, savory element to the dish. The shaved Brussels sprouts were great, too, especially with the almonds and Parmesan. Everything worked really well together. Dessert: Olive Oil Cake. A house staple, and for good reason. A lovely way to end the meal. Overall, Nobie's has a really fun, unpretentious energy. Between the old-house setting, loud music and memorable dishes, it feels like somewhere you go to hang out as much as you go to eat. Just know what you're getting into with the volume and the seating -- this is not exactly a quiet, polished fine-dining experience, and that's kind of the charm.

    Great service, delicious food, high quality ingredients!…read more Our server was incredibly attentive to us without having to appear every ten minutes to interrupt our conversation. When you first walk in, the interior is dimly lit, warm, and welcoming. The arugula salad appetizer was the perfect balance of light and flavorful with a good peppery kick from the fresh arugula. The Nancy cakes were simple but comforting, and with the roe made it an incredible experience. We also tried the lamb tartare and the burger, and both blew our minds away. Just the quality of the ingredients spoke for themselves. The flavor was perfectly balanced, and I was very impressed by the consistency of all the dishes. Highly recommend!

    This was our second visit, and unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the hype this time around…read more We arrived earlier than our reservation and they weren't able to accommodate us inside, so we opted for the patio. I was actually pleasantly surprised, it was spacious, shaded, and really comfortable. We started with the Nancy Cakes, which are always a 10/10 and easily the highlight of the meal. We also tried the yellowtail aguachile with roasted poblano and sunflower seed za'atar, which was just okay--nothing particularly memorable. For my entrée, I ordered the burger and specifically asked for the aioli on the side. Unfortunately, it came on the burger, and there was so much of it that it completely overpowered everything else. Coming back after a few years, we were hoping to be reminded why this place is so popular, but overall we left a little underwhelmed. I'm not sure we'd go out of our way to snag a reservation again.

    We had such a great experience at Chef's Table Vintage Park! The bartender was absolutely amazing…read moreand made the BEST blueberry mojito that my colleagues and I have ever had. Seriously, it was that good! They also had a special smoked cinnamon Old Fashioned that was incredibly smooth and creamy. Definitely worth trying. We started with the South African board, which was perfect for sharing at the bar and a great way to get a taste of a couple of different apps. For dinner, I ordered the Chilean sea bass, which was really good, but the star of the night was the ostrich filet that my colleague had ordered. It was so delicious and definitely something I wasn't expecting to love as much as I did. And the desserts...to die for! The crème brûlée and sticky toffee pudding were both incredible. Our server, JJ, was also great; attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I'd definitely recommend Chef's Table Vintage Park for a business dinner, date night, or even just happy hour with a friend. Great food, creative cocktails, and a really nice atmosphere.

    First time trying Chef's Table, a South African inspired ambient new American restaurant! The…read moreinterior is dark and moody, and features a lot of the chef's South African memoirs. You can choose to sit either inside or outside. We went with the Houston Restaurant week menu which features some of their most popular dishes. For the appetizer, we tried the sautéed calamari and gumbo. The calamari had a nice creamy garlic sauce which paired well the sautéed bell pepper, onions, and tender calamari. Their gumbo is solid, not too spicy and had nicely cooked rice and a mix of toppings. The rice had a good bite and absorbed the flavor from the gumbo well. I would recommend the sautéed calamari. For entrees, we ordered the wild caught king clip and steak Diane. The very buttery king clip comes with sautéed spinach and is basted in a creamy, slightly lemony sauce which compliments both elements of the dish. The kingclip is garnished with micro greens and comes with an extra lemon for additional acidity, but I felt that it wasn't needed. The steak Diane had a medium cook and was soooo tender to the bite. I would recommend both, but partial towards the king clip if you want to try something unique! Lastly for dessert, I ordered the passion fruit crème brûlée which had such a unique flavor profile! The tartness of the passion fruit goes surprisingly well with the warm vanilla custard. The texture of the creme brûlée toasted sugar top was perfect as well and added a really nice crunch to every bite. My friend ordered their sticky toffee pudding, which was arguably the best one I've had yet. The toffee syrup is incredibly rich and adds a nice caramelized flavor to the ice cream and moist cake base. It's garnished with bits of sugary crumble and fruit. You really can't go wrong with either, but if I had to pick, their sticky toffee pudding is a must try. All in all, such a fun and intimate dining experience!
