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.

It's intimate and cozy, nice big bar. They have a good selection of liquor and house specialty cocktails. I had the watermelon high $16 and a bourbon smash $17.

I recommend dropping for a chill place with great cocktails.

The drinks were made well, but the drink menu just didn't spark my fancy. We got a small charcuterie board which was pretty good and big enough for 2 if you just want a snack. I gave 3 stars because anytime I have to pay $10, in this case for valet, before I even hit the door and to just go to a bar is not my cup of tea. It's a cute spot, but nothing that I haven't seen before and not enough pizazz to justify the cost.

The inside seating is nice and cozy with good music and the patio/rooftop is very nice. The cocktail menu has some variation for most palettes and are all reasonably priced. I ordered the Roma which was very good. The bubbles from the kombucha give it a nice subtle effervescence. The spiced rum and blood orange mesh very well together making for a great drink. My friend ordered the Lavender Cucumber Collin's. This drink didn't really put the lavender on the forefront which lead to it getting lost by the cucumber, same for the crème de violets, absent. The drink was overall refreshing and tasty to her standards. She let me know it was quite strong also, which she prefers. She also ordered the kale Caesar and really enjoyed it. It was perfectly sauced to her liking. Service was okay. Looks like there was only 2 people working for a midday shift around 2 o clock. But no complaints. Salad and drinks came out pretty quickly. The place was pretty empty, definitely looks like I could hold a nice little crowd. Overall a solid 4 stars and warrants a repeat visit so I can try out the food and appetizers.

Me and a friend split the Kebab Land mix that was recommended for 1 person, but it was the perfect amount of food for two people. The shish kebab skewer was super tender and had good flavor and the beef skewer was also tasty, but just a bit tough in my opinion. The chicken was moist and had a good charred flavor. The rice and grilled tomatoes were standard though the homemade bread was a bit thin and bland. Considering the bold flavors from the other elements of the food, the bread did complement it well. (6.5/10) Overall, the food is very comparable to other restaurants that serve this kind of cuisine. I think this place is definitely filling in a gap as there are not many other places in this area that serve this kind of food. If I were craving some kebabs and didn't want to drive too far I would definitely come back here. The owner was also super kind And the service was quick. Something else to note is that they only have bottled water that they charge for but the hot tea is free. The ambiance is super casual and parking is super easy because there are a ton of spots around as it is apart of a huge plaza.

I was really looking forward to a shawarma option in this area, but I guess I'll have to keep driving all the way to Westheimer for a decent shawarma. Came at around 6pm on a Saturday and it wasn't very busy. Went inside to place a to-go order and service was very nice. Food took about 10-15 mins to come out. The place felt clean. Loved that the kitchen was right there and open so that you could see your food being made. Unfortunately, that didn't help the quality of the food at all. We considered eating inside but there weren't a lot of tables (the patio wasn't open yet), and there was a ridiculously bright, strobing open sign that ruined the ambiance of the restaurant, so we opted for eating in the car. LAMB WRAP: Lamb was under-seasoned/bland. Pickled veggies were over-seasoned/salty. Too much pickled veggies compared to meat. The ratio was completely off. Leaked a lot of juice, probably from all the veggies, and made it super messy. Who wants to eat a wrap that's dripping veggie juice the entire time? They need to reduce the veggies, increase the amount of meat, and most importantly, fix their seasoning issues! It was almost inedible. BEEF SHAWARMA WRAP: All the same major issues as the lamb wrap. Beef was under-seasoned/bland. Pickled veggies were over-seasoned/salty. Too much pickled veggies compared to meat. Dripped a ridiculous amount of veggie juice the entire time, making it super messy. FRIES: Dry and under seasoned. GARLIC SAUCE: Very watery and not garlicky/flavorful enough. FALAFEL: My bf said it was good, not great. The only decent part of the entire meal.

When I asked for a glass of ice water, I was directed to a Luke warm pitcher at the end of the bar that I had to reach around others sitting at the bar to get.

We had to park at another business next door. I wouldn't recommend unless that dingy, dive bar is your thing.
