    cucumber gazpacho
    Yara C.

    At first glance this seems like a sit-down restaurant, but you must order at your table and get your own utensils, etc. Having those expectations, this is a good choice for a quick, healthy, and tasty lunch. Their parking lot is far smaller than their dining area promises, so be mindful during rush hours. We really enjoyed the fish tacos, which had fresh and flavorful fish, lightly grilled with fresh cabbage and veggies. The order comes with three tacos for a very filling meal, and a homemade salsa for an extra tang if you like. We also tried the cucumber gazpacho. Perfectly light and refreshing on a hot Houston summer afternoon. If it's still on the menu, I'd recommend it any time. I also had a blackened chicken salad, which came in a huge portion. The chicken was flavorful without being overly salted, and the salad was as fresh as possible. Bella green exceeded my expectations, as it's hard to find such fresh ingredients and healthy options. I'd love to go back.

    TURKEY LETTUCE WRAPS [GF][DF]
    Requel P.

    I visited for a chill lunch and got their Turkey lettuce wraps with sweet potato fries. It came with 3 wraps and a sweet chili sauce. They were really delicious and fresh! The sweet potato fries were delicious too. The restaurant is located underneath an apartment complex and their parking is underneath in the garage. Plenty of seating inside and outside on their lovely patio. Great customer service too.

    I really like Bellagreen for the most part! Their menu feels healthy without being bland. I've liked pretty much everything I've ever ordered and especially love their pizzas, particularly the pepperoni and fig and pig. You can often see them hand making the dough near the counter area when you place your order. The counter service is fine, but the managers (I believe) have always been extra friendly and helpful, checking in to make sure your meal is going well. Their menu has something for everyone and they typically have some additional seasonal items depending on the time of year. The only downside I've experienced is with some pick up orders. I live *very* close, aka just taking an elevator down to pick up my food, and I once received breakfast tacos that were already cold and were so sparsely filled that I condensed them into two tacos instead of the three it comes with. Their mobile app could also use a lot of work but that's just me being picky! Overall I think this is a great spot with convenient parking which is always a win in Houston!

    Came here with a group of friends and the food is so fresh and tasty and nutritious, I can't believe it's a chain. I like that there's more than just salad as options. So much seating and wasn't very busy when we went. Definitely want to try their dessert

    Hi-Protein Hempenadas
    Mimi T.

    I ordered to go on a weekday late night so it wasn't crowded. I did get confused with parking with a lot next door since it was dark outside which isn't for their customers. There is a connected parking lot inside the building. I do wish there was better lighting outside the restaurant because it looked closed from the outside view. The employee greeted me & my order was prepared in a timely manner. I got the roasted butternut squash & brussel sprouts bowl without the wild rice & added grilled chicken & the hi-protein hempenadas. Everything tasted delicious & fresh. I really liked the cilantro & chipotle sauces with the empanadas! Next time, I would definitely like to dine at the restaurant & try other items!

    ORGANIC QUINOA SALAD [GF][DF][VEG] with tofu
    Devangi D.

    Bellagreen never disappoints! The portions are ginormous -- come hungry! I had the grilled tofu salad, which was vibrant, fresh, and packed with flavor. We finished with the bread pudding, served warm and absolutely amazing -- soft, gooey, and comforting in all the right ways. A great spot for a wholesome meal with a sweet finish! Nice weeknight meal

    Who wants to eat this dry no sauce taco?
    L S.

    I haven't written a review in a long time but this is such a dumb circumstance that I have to say something. I stopped going to this location because they couldn't figure out how to make a chicken sandwich that wasn't completely dry or a tiny withered piece of chicken. I finally came back to try it out. I found out that I really love their fried fish tacos. However, I hate the habanero sauce. For many visits I asked for "dry" tacos - no sauce. It worked for 2 visits - delicious. Last time, I came in and requested again. When I got the tacos I noticed they had been previously dipped in habanero sauce as if they accidentally prepared it wrong and didn't think I'd notice. Only the fish was soggy with the sauce they drenched it in. I ate it and didn't complain. It was gross. I thought I'd try again today. I explained to the cashier what happened last time to avoid repeating the mistake. She stoically placed the order without acknowledging what happened. No apology. I waited for the food. It was drenched with habanero. I sent it back. The guy who delivered it - no apology and didn't listen either. A few minutes later I got the dry tacos with no sauces at all. I had to ask for the pico and the peach chipotle (two additional trips) then was told how I should order it next time - which was exactly how I ordered it this time. Guess I won't be coming back for a really long time again. I tried.

    Honey Garlic cauliflower wings

    I love to eat vegetarian meals at least twice a week. And these wings are my go to when I eat vegetarian meals. They are a starter here but the portion is big enough to be a meal. They are my favorite thing at Bella Green!!!!

    A solid neighborhood place with a great rewards program. I usually get a salad here. They're all good and far too big to finish in one sitting. Their fish tacos are a messy and tasty option. Wine by the glass options are good and they have a happy hour with $3 beers. Their pizza is not worth the calories. A bit soggy, even though I'd asked for it to be crisped.

    Honey-Fried Goat Cheese & Arugula Salad
    Melodi D.

    I adore bellagreen. The ambiance is very nice; it is well-lit and decorated, creating a warm and trendy vibe. You order at a counter and they bring the food to you, so the dining experience is more on the casual side. The food is consistently great. My go-to order is the Honey Fried Goat Cheese & Arugula Salad. It is so fresh and fruity, with the salty element introduced by that amazing fried goat cheese medallion. It is the perfect lunch. I've also tried their Wagyu Burger, and it is hearty, flavorful, and delicious. Highly recommend!

    Kale Caesar Salad with added grilled chicken
    Ruby D.

    A Saturday craving for a specific lunch~ brought me here after SO many years: chicken caesar salad with fries and a coke. This review isn't for everyone and that's okay but for the girls that get it, this is for you. Solo girl lunch is something I try to do once a week for myself. Service: counter service girl was whatever but, it doesn't even matter in this instance because all I want to do is talk to as little people as possible but still get my food ordered. Seating: Lots of two top tables placed in good cozy corners. Options for ideal people watching but not being watched as you eat a solo lunch. Chefs kiss Salad and fries: They nailed this for me. The 'kale caesar' is a perfectly upgraded caesar salad. Pickled red onions, fried capers, sun dried tomatoes added a lot to this simple standard salad. I added grilled chicken for the $3.99 and it was a bit dry, not a dealbreaker but I might try their blackened or roasted chicken options next time. Fries were crispy and hot, served with ketchup. Beverage: Soda choices were half Pepsi products and half Stubborn sodas, which are good too. Dr Pepper is always my top choice so I was happy. Compostable green straw but isn't the trash paper kind (sry not sry) Parking: this BG location is under some apartments so the first floor of the garage is parking for the restaurant! Easy.

    The cauliflower wings are amazing and so are the pulled chicken tacos!!! The Brick chicken is also pretty good. Service is always good and the outside area is nice to sit in.

    Veggie tacos (gluten free)
    Harshath G.

    As someone with celiac (strict gluten-free), I really appreciated the options available at this place and their care with making things careful in terms of cross-contamination as well as having a gluten-free fryer. The restaurant is quite large with both indoor and outdoor seating, pretty clean, and usually not too crowded. It's an order at counter type of place and they bring your food to the table. The non-salad entrees that are both gluten-free and vegetarian, a bit more limited, but there are definitely a few options. I opted for the veggie tacos and also ate some fries. The sauces served with the tacos were nice, and I appreciated the mix of vegetables in the tacos. Given this place is more of an American bistro, I don't think tacos are necessarily their specialty item, so they were not bad but not incredible. The fries were great! I might consider going here 1 or 2 more times to try 1-2 more items, as I definitely appreciate the gluten-free options.

First, we got there pretty early for our reservation. We sat almost immediately upon check in. Our waiter was in training but did a really good job. Ordered a whiskey sour.

The pink one, whatever it was, was really pretty! On to the food. We got two apps, two meals, and two desserts. Husband ordered the Brussels, Steak Frites, and the Devil's Affogato. I got the Bacon covered Dates, the Pizza, and the Sticky Toffee Cake. The Brussels were good - husband liked them more than me. They were good. Had cashews in them. Little spicy. The bacon covered dates. Think this was my favorite bite. Sweet, salty, creamy. Came we three & I had two. The pizza was sweet and salty as well. The crust was so good and fresh. The arugula set it off so well. Def a buy again! The Steak Frites was so good. The chimichurri sauce was perfect. Just the right mount of citrus. Steak was tender and the fries seasoned well. The desserts - don't skip them! The Devils Affogato we had the first time we ate at Sixty Vines. Had to have it again. If you like coffee, chocolate and vanilla ice cream just get it.

Everyone raves about the pasta and rightfully so. The noodles with the right amount of bolognese was such a flavorful comfort food. The pork belly was also delicious but the pasta hit better.

I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem!

Regarding the food, the Frisée Salad was pretty good, well dressed and flavorful. The chicken sandwich was okay. The batter was crispy and flaky but it had no flavor. What made it a lot better was the coleslaw that brought a great deal of tang and moisture. The steak was not quite for me. It came on a bed of sauce that was flavorful with fresh veggies but it did not go well with the steak. Perhaps chicken would've suited better. The steak itself was dry and quite chewy. For dessert we had the carrot cake tres leches which was decent. The carrot cake flavor was there but the moisture from the cake was not fully spread in the cake. Overall nothing here was bad but with the plethora of restaurants in the Houston area I can't justify recommending or returning.

    We finally made it to Milton's yesterday evening and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. We had chargrilled…read moreoysters, chicken parm, chicken piccata, The Milton salad. For dessert, tiramisu, then a digestive drink Caffe Non-Coretto which has Fernet Branca bitters, pistachio milk and I forgot what else but it was perfect. Portions sizes were generous which is a major plus in my book so not only did we not leave hungry, we had leftovers to take home but we knew we over ordered a bit. Our server was Dre and she took excellent care of us. The place's layout is same as when it was Eau Tour but decor has been changed out. It's got a great ambience. We'll be back soon and hope to be in Dre's section again : )

    CHEF'S KISS I can't…read moreeven begin to THINK of a word that describes the feeling(s) we have experienced. EUPHORIC. Our taste buds have exploded--and from someone who has had his fair share of Italian food, my boyfriend has rated this in the top 3. The tiramisu was heavenly. I loved how much Marsala was soaked into the lady finger sponge cake. And the white cream around it was the cherry ** on top! ... the food, the service, the decor was all-so-spitz-ing. Chico was a fabulous and attentive waiter who also respected our time. PSA there's a speakeasy with a ¡POST-IT! wall and photo both to share memories ... SHHH!

    When you're stuck in town but want to feel like you're in a tropical destination, The Toasted…read moreCoconut is where you need to come. The team behind the popular restaurant Nobie's opened up this tiki inspired restaurant. Tiki bars happen to be one of my favorite varieties of bars so I was more than excited to finally check it off my list. I had recently seen them on the Food Network as well. They share a lot with another popular dining spot so parking can be a little difficult in their lot. You can find street parking or park across the street in an overflow lot. Customer service was great from start to finish. We had just ate next door and our intentions were to come in here just for cocktails, but I couldn't leave without trying some of the popular items. I wanted the most tropical drink I could find on the menu so I started off with the Blue Hawaiian. I saw fire on the description so my extra self needed to have it. I'm a big rum guy so this drink was right up my alley and very boozy with two types of rum. It was very coconut forward with pineapple being the secondary flavor. One was enough for me to feel just right. Since we had just ate, we decided to share the World Famous Cheeseburger. This was a great burger. I don't know if they were going for the smash effect, but it had smash burger characteristics. It had all my favorite things that are musts on a burger like American cheese and red onions. It also had a very nice chili aioli that added great flavor to the burger. I came on another stop for a drink visit shortly after and tried the pork dumplings and popcorn chicken. These were also very good. If I lived in the area, this place would easily be a place I would frequent often. I will most definitely be back!

    Passed by this place multiple times and finally decided to stop in for drinks and appetizers…read more The ambience grabs your attention just walking into the restaurant they have string lights along the walkway and low amber lights as you go inside. They have an outdoor eating area, a bar area, and seating in the very back. It's very spacious, comfortable, and intimate. The theme of the restaurant is seen all over from the moment you enter, to the music, the menu and the restroom. They paid close attention to detail with decorating. We had an amazing server, delicious drinks (a must try), and ok food. We ordered four drinks the painkilla, vamos à la playa, captains grog, and the Hemingway daiquiri. All were great drinks and we loved how they give you flavor characteristics of the drinks on the menu. The appetizers that we ordered were the sweet and sour cauliflower and the pork dumplings, which is why I gave this place four stars. The presentation of both appetizers were excellent. However, the pork dumplings were disappointing. They came with only six dumplings for $17, were served cold, and are very bland. In my opinion, they weren't worth the price. On the other hand, the sweet and sour cauliflower was our favorite and is definitely a must-try.

    Delicious, creative meal with friendly and attentive service. We sat in the patio out back in June…read moreand it was a bit warm even with the fans so my preference would be to try to sit inside. Still it was fine. Enjoyed the gem salad, Nancy cakes, lamb tartare and wood grilled half chicken. Side of the beef fat sticky rice. Nancy cakes: yes I could eat these every visit. Really good combination of flavors and textures. Everything was nice: lamb tartare was delicious, salad was strong. Chicken satisfying. Had a solid dessert too: hazelnut marjolaine. I look forward to returning and trying a whole new batch of dishes.

    Nancy's Hustle is the real deal…read more Walked in with no expectations and left wondering how I'd gone this long without eating here. The Nancy Cakes are worth the hype, piping hot with that whipped butter and smoked trout roe combo that somehow just works. We also had the dumplings and the double cheeseburger on the English muffin, both excellent. The burger especially punches way above what you'd expect from a bistro. The vibe is perfect. Dark, relaxed, no pretension, and still feel like you're having a great night out. Michelin Bib Gourmand for a reason. This is one of the best restaurants in Houston, full stop. Just make a reservation, the place fills up fast.

    Grilled snapper-$35 and the silver lining- $15. My last meal request. The best combo I've had in 2025. Perfect portion size.

    Still good after all these years it's definitely a swanky place for a night on the town…read more Pluses 1. Free valet 2. Rustic charm atmosphere where you can enjoy intimate conversations 3. Mmmm - freshly toasted bread and butter 4. Octopus good amount and very tasty liked the peanuts 5. Pan seared halibut fresh 6. Lobster pasta delish 7. Crème brûlée good amount 8. Great helpful and cheerful service Areas to improve 1. We ordered the first two drinks - Aphrodite garden great but the highball was just blah 2. Carajillo forgettable, most disappointing 3. I thought my fries were greasy and overdone, but the raclette made it taste better Highly recommended for a nice meal. Everyone was ordering oysters.

    The pickled shrimp was just ok. Not enough flavor to me, just a mix of some ingredients…read more The oysters and accompaniments were great. Presentation was nice. Hollywood, va voom and metagorda all similar in taste to each other. The maison salad was delicious. Butter lettuce with the toppings and sauce was just enjoyable. The butter burger sliders were good. Just would like it thicker as it's too much bun. The cookie on the way out was so awesome, I almost went back in to grab another. Gingerbread I think. Avery was a wonderful bartender and kept up with entertaining conversations and was attentive to all service needs. Tried the g4 tequila reposado and it was very easy drinking.
