Egg and bacon breakfast sandwich
Alyssa G.

Good food, slow service. Marc was the only one who was fast! The steak was good enough but not a very lean filet mignon. The sides that came with it very great.

Side mixed greens salad and chicken .

In Houston on a business trip and had to rely on the hotel restaurant for sustenance. Always iffy, even at nice hotels like the Omni. I was pleasantly surprised! Pulled up a chair at the bar, and was greeted quickly by the bartenders. Sadly, I don't recall their names but it was two males on this Wednesday evening. At check-in, the guest services person said she loved the burgers at Birdie's when I mentioned my starved state. I don't do beef, so she suggested the chicken tacos. I also asked the bartender if he recommended the chicken or fish tacos, fish tacos are on the bar menu. He also likes the chicken, so winner, winner, chicken dinner! The salad was surprisingly good! The greens came with watermelon radish (seriously?!), cherry toms, green onions, and a sweetish but yummy white balsamic vinaigrette. More dressing than I prefer, but not too much more, and my Warren would have wanted more, so... The tacos were good. Not great, but not disappointing. The chicken had a sweetish sauce and even with the small cuts, the meat was moist. They used sliced avo, which, for small tacos, an avo guac or cream would be easier to eat. Also had some chopped toms and a leaf of cilantro. One leaf. Lol! And also used only one taco shell, which I liked. I would have liked some hot sauce, and maybe they had it, but they didn't offer and I didn't ask for it, so bad on me. Overall, I'm sitting in my room with a happy full belly writing this review, so thanks Birdie and team!

Western omelette with potatoes
Richard M.

Birdies is the in house restaurant/bar for the Omni Houston. I had an early breakfast. The staff are excellent, always friendly and attentive. I had the Western Omelette with potatoes. Everything tasted as it should, no complaints but also nothing spectacular. As with all hotel food, it's on the pricey side, but you're paying for convenience.

I was here at Birdies in February 2020. My mentor Jayzen P visiting from California for a speaking engagement at Omni Houston Hotel upstairs. He had a busy schedule and we decided to meet here for lunch. Atmosphere was nice. I remember the chair was super heavy. I had to wait for hostess to seat us. Service was slow that day. Food was pretty fancy. I ordered Beef Brisket Bao, just pure curiosity. It was 3 scrumptious steamed sweet buns hugged some delicious roasted beef slices and Chinese flavored slaw. So fusion. I really wanted to go back visit again after this CoVid19 pandemic.

Bbq bao
Mike B.

A mediocre lunch at this hotel lobby restaurant. At the hotel for a conference, the in-house restaurant is the go-to for a quick lunch. I selected the BBQ rib Bao. 3 to a serving, the steamed rolls are soft and moist, but cold by the time they reached the table. The BBQ was tasty, but dry. The Asian slaw was bright and fresh, as were the greens. Definitely room for improvement. Also tried the corn velvet soup with gulf prawn dumplings. I envisioned a creamy corn chowder but this was very thin and watery, with a sprinkle of corn on top. The dumplings (2) were good, but tasted more like pork than shrimp. Big peeve... The soup was served without a spoon. The server said "l'll bring you one right away", but never did. I had to flag down one of the wait staff. Not cool to let the food get cold waiting for utensils.... Next time I'll venture out instead of dining here.

Got drinks for the pool

I tried the breakfast, dinner and the bar bc I stayed at the Omni hotel for several nights. The food and drink quality was fine (dinner was better than breakfast), the service was a little slow. Three stars for overall food quality (it was about what you would expect from a hotel restaurant with a captive audience - not great but not bad). One star for price bc it was very expensive, especially for Houston where you can get much better deals. My husband ended up going to Rudy's one morning for breakfast tacos and he ordered a ton of food for about half the price of my breakfast here. The only positive is that the portions are average to small, so at least there is no food waste (we ate almost everything except the breakfast waffles - my kids didn't seem to love them).

Kale pasta
Lees D.

Service here is just "okay." Neither here nor there which makes this place nothing to write home about. I came for lunch and had the kale pasta. The pasta was watery and made the texture hard to eat. I definitely could have made a better pasta at home and I don't cook. As soon as I took my first bite I knew I should have ordered something else but, unfortunately the menu is not very descriptive either, and feels like the blind leading the blind when asking for suggestions or recommendations. For service and food quality prices should be about 10% lower, would not return

Ya know...I'm not real sure what this was but it came compliments of the chef. Was an OMG moment. Delicious!
Scott N.

I had my doubts early on due to lack of choices on the menu. However that quickly changes due to the professionalism and friendly staff. I'm not completely sure of everything I ate seeing as I don't get out very often but what I ate was completely delicious. Awesome awesome visit

Parking is a bit difficult at times as well from my experience. Cashmere - velvet espresso with caramel, so smooth and a little bit more on the sweeter side but is great! Aoi banana (not pictured) - this is probably my seasonal favorite right now that im hooked on. Matcha banana and its the perfect mix and my group's favorite. Reminds us of the banana milk cans we got back in japan. An absolute delight that ill probably keep getting til they rotate it out Tried their chairoi banana which is the espresso variant of the matcha verison and it's good but I think the matcha mixes much better with the bananas Yuki matcha - white chocolate matcha- I personally liked this one quite a bit but I can see it wouldn't be for everyone. It's quite sweet, think of regular sugar in a normal boba/tea drink. Mixes well with the matcha but I won't lie, the banana verison has me hooked more! Overall I like their coffee here and it's definitely in my coffee rotation so I would recommend it! Its also not far from memorial park so.. a great excuse after a run after melting in the sun

It's a latte with toasted coconut flavors and a hint of pandan which is popular in Vietnamese drinks. I absolutely love it and I find it difficult to try anything else because I just know it hits the spot every time. Now about the Richmond location: it's in the shopping strip across the street from Costco. The parking in front of the cafe can be limited so know that going in. This location is also pretty small, so a lot more to go orders than dining in. I met up with a friend there, found a table for two, and it was no problem. Staff are nice and ambience of the cafe is fine - nothing amazingly special. Drinks are fairly priced but can add up after tax and tip. One cool fact is, Luce Ave Coffee is popping up in various HEB grocery stores, so if you have one of those closer to your house and you need to pick up some grocery items anyway, you can get your coffee fix then. I highly recommend you try the Island Latte from Luce if you haven't done so yet!

But that's Texas summer for ya!

We heard good things about this coffee shop and were so happy that they stay open super late. When we went in, there were lots of people studying and working, on dates and playing board games, even late on Friday night. It's very spacious, beautiful and clean. They have a really big menu as well and some yummy looking treats. We were very full from dinner, so we were only wanting coffee, but we plan to go back very soon to try some of the treats. I am diabetic and eat a lower carb diet, but not super low carb. I did want a little bit of a treat, but not too sweet. The really sweet girl working at the counter was so kind to us and gave us recommendations. I also love that they have decaf options and the decaf is so smooth and tasty. I ended up getting the half sweet decaf pistachio latte and oh my goodness was it delicious. It was so so so good. We are actually planning to try to go back tonight and try some more things.

If you…read moreappreciate coffee with depth, unique flavors, and a little cultural influence, this is definitely a spot worth exploring. We ordered the signature Qamaria latte, the pistachio latte, and the rose milk cake, and everything was absolutely delicious! The Qamaria latte has warm notes of cardamom and cinnamon, giving it this beautifully aromatic flavor that makes it stand out from your everyday latte. The pistachio coffee was another favorite! One detail I really appreciated was learning from the staff that they use a sauce made with real pistachios rather than relying on flavored syrups. It's those little details that make a difference, especially when you appreciate a good cup of coffee. And please don't skip dessert! The rose milk cake was such a treat. The combination of creamy, sweet, and delicate floral flavors made it a lovely pairing with our coffee. Beyond the menu, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's warm and inviting, with the kind of setting that makes you want to stay a little longer. Whether you're catching up with a friend, having a coffee date, studying, or bringing your laptop to get some work done, it's a wonderful place to settle in. The staff was also incredibly kind and helpful, which made our visit even more enjoyable. Overall, I love finding coffee shops that offer something beyond the usual menu, and Qamaria does exactly that. Between the distinctive flavors, welcoming service, and comfortable atmosphere, this is definitely a place I'd recommend experiencing for yourself. Come with a little curiosity and definitely save room for cake!

It wasn't overly sweet, and the flavor was nice and refreshing. I ordered the banana matcha, and unfortunately, I was not a fan. The banana flavor tasted extremely artificial, to the point where it was almost nauseating. I personally wouldn't recommend it. We also ordered the butter chicken roll, which was surprisingly delicious. It might not look like much in pictures, but don't let the appearance fool you. The chicken was flavorful, and I really enjoyed it. For dessert, we tried the Biscoff tres leches, which was also really good. It wasn't overly sweet or too milky, and the Biscoff flavor was a nice touch. Overall, we enjoyed our visit! The only downside was how crowded it got, but I can definitely see myself coming back here to study.

Good news is, you can park in the big parking lot on front of Hando's and walk from there. Not ideal when the weather sucks, but you don't really have a choice. And though the coffee shop's address is technically off Long Point, you can't see it from Long Point. It's on the other side of the shopping center. Google Maps does a good job showing you where the entrance is. The ambiance: I love how spacious the coffee shop is. There is plenty of seating and I appreciate that. The staff are also nice. Sometimes the line to order can get really long but that's because customers usually can't make up their minds. The menu is fairly extensive so pros and cons there. Now for the coffee: I've tried their speciality drinks, the hot brewed coffee, and flat white. They are all OK. Not bad but not great. Not enough strong coffee flavor in my opinion. Flavors are a little off but get the job done. Prices are fair - maybe a tad on the pricey side. Worth it if you're going to sit inside the coffee shop and get work done or meet up with friends. I would go here to meet with friends but not necessarily for the best coffee in town.
