    Butter Burger with waffle fries
    Talesha C.

    We came here for brunch on a Saturday around 11am. We did have a reservation and I do recommend getting one. The restaurant wasn't too busy but there were quite a few tables already occupied but it's a pretty spacious restaurant. Our waiter, Ashley, was so great! She was funny, helpful, and attentive. We did not have to want for anything while having her. I started with The Dream cocktail and it was amazing. I don't think I realized I loved apricot until this cocktail. So good! I highly recommend. It's light and just enough to trick you into thinking there's no alcohol in it. For main entrees we had the butter burger with waffle fries and the Short Rib Chilaquiles. Both were delicious but I would say the Short Rib Chilaquiles was more flavorful and tasteful and didn't need anything extra to complete the dish. The butter burger was good but I had to start dipping the burger into ketchup to add more flavor. The waffle fries were good on their own and didn't even need ketchup which was a win there. I'd love to return.

    Come for the whiskey, stay for the brownie & ice cream Bosscat Kitchen & Libations never disappoints, but their whiskey room alone is worth the visit -- an impressive selection that'll make any whiskey lover swoon. For Houston Restaurant Weeks, the wedge salad is crisp and flavorful, the pork chop dinner is juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the warm brownie with ice cream is the ultimate sweet finish. A must for both foodies and whiskey fans.

    Interior space
    Nick S.

    I had Bosscat bookmarked for the longest time, and I finally got around to stopping by... it was well worth the wait The exterior is modern and chic. Everything outside (patio, entryway, signage, etc) is as clean and tastefully put together as the decor inside. The interior is both elegant and somewhat eclectic. There is plenty of seating. The decor and fixtures pop out but in an appealing way. There is a fully stocked bar and a very neat and gorgeous whiskey tasting room The staff were exceptional. Everyone was beyond pleasant, polite, and professional. The entryway door was opened for us long before we stepped inside. We were seating immediately, and had our choice of seats. We were greeted by our server who was fantastic. The menu was briefly reviewed with us. Our drinks and appetizer came out in a timely manner, and was quickly followed by the rest of our meal. Our appetizers were packed up togo, and when we could barely eat one more morsel the rest of our meal was packed up. It was incredible service I love their brunch menu. There is something for everyone, and you can find all the classics... most with a slightly elevated or fusion take. The cocktails are solid. Everything was amazing. It was a delightful experience Some tips: Self parking is somewhat limited. You can find it along the streets that surround the shopping area. They also have a valet. The cinnamon roll is a MUST. It is absolutely massive, rich, and the roll consistency is less doughy and more layered almost like a filo dough. You can also make reservations online. I would suggest going in a group and sharing plates, because everything is tasty, instagramable, and relatively affordable Cheers!!

    STREET CORN POPPERS

    From the outside this place was very cute. Down fall is no parking and valet only which i hate. We parked on the street. Walking into the place you are greeted by a wonderful host and very cute decor. We were seated immediately and had the pleasure of meeting our wonderful server EK. He was friendly, sweet, knowledgeable and hilarious. He made our 1st time experience better than what I could have imagined. We went during happy hour which was also a plus. We ordered the korean sliders, short rib grilled cheese, corn poppers (corn fritters), and fries. Everything came out very fast. The short rib grilled cheese was my favorite. The bread it came on was perfect all the way around and giving in that special crunch. The korean sliders were a little dry but once I added mayo to it, it gave it the extra moisture it was missing. The fries were bigger than steak fries and cooked to perfection. The corn poppers were my least favorite, in New Orleans we call them corn fritters which is basically bread batter with pieces of corn. I thought I was ordering something completely different. Sadly I tried them but didnt like them. This place is definitely worth trying and the staff is very nice. Will def be back and hope to have EK as a server again.

    CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN SALAD
    Evelyne T.

    Bosscat is a great place to grab dinner as the service there is exceptional. The servers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable while the ambience is relaxed. As for food: Short rib grilled cheese: 5/5 definitely the star of the show with the perfect crispy bread and tender beef. I dream of it. Crispy chicken burger: 4/5 not all that crispy but was still a solid choice. I wish they could have done something more interesting with the sauces. We're definitely interested in coming back and trying out more of the menu

    Old faithful.    Look at those eggs.

    2nd review this weekend. I went back for brunch. This time I had the pancake breakfast adding 2 sunny side up eggs. Yummy. Pancakes fresh. Bacon cooked right. And the eggs. Again perfect. They had a DJ in house playing old time rock through modern pop. And anything g in between. Thr place was Hella busy but everyone worked smartly with a smile Then I went back for Sunday dinner. Calmer atmosphere. Less busy. Ordered spicy pork chop with mashed potatoes instead of cheesecorn. It was amazing. Finished off with apple pie and ice cream. That's evil yall. I couldn't stop. If your in the area. Stop.in. you won't regret it.

    I'm back in Houston to work and visit every few months. I always try to eat at Bosscat Kitchen. Their food is beyond delicious in my book. The sad part is, they are closing this place down at the end of the month! First, Eloise Nichols closed down across the way from Bosscat Kitchen and now, one of my favorite places to eat in the Galleria area is closing down as well. We are going to miss Bosscat Kitchen. Their menu selections are all delicious and reasonably priced. Our server was efficient and friendly. She asked us about we were celebrating and since we had September birthdays in our group, she also revealed that she was a September baby. As for the ambiance, it may be masquerading as a sports bar but it is more of a specialty restaurant to me. Overall, I'm glad that we've enjoyed the food here and pretty soon, they'll relocate close to the Galleria. We will drive there but not to their restaurant in the Woodlands!

    I always enjoy my time at Bosskat. It's a cute. Classy little brunch spot that's great for a date, a few friends, family etc. Today I came to celebrate a friend's birthday and we got to sit in the whisky room which was really cute! I ordered the boss lady drink which I feel was like their spin on a side car and it was really good. I for the steak and eggs for my entrée which came with a side of potatoes. The steak was a little salty but the chimichirri helped make the whole meat better. I will say the service was pretty slow today since we had one waiter for one party of 12 but other than that it was a cool experience.

    We ate here during Houston Restaurant Week & what I had from that 3-course menu was amazing - wedge salad, super flavorful steak, and bread pudding! I also had a cucumber cocktail that was so refreshing. Atmosphere was super cool. Our server Dexter gave us a quick tour of the Whiskey Room and was very personable & accommodating.

    Fruity Pebble French Toast
    Jai G.

    3.5 stars rounded down because of the price/quality ratio. The ambiance of Bosscat Kitchen is really amazing. The decor is impressive and gives a ready-to-brunch vibe for the weekend. People are dressed nicely but not over-the-top. As vegetarians, options are always limited, so we were not surprised by the limited selection for us. Nonetheless, the chilaquiles sounded interesting, but the server confirmed the ability to customize the breakfast burrito (so we did - subbed mushrooms and avocado for the meat) and ordered the Fruity Pebbles french toast (which was raved about in previous Yelp reviews). The burrito was good, but there was a paltry amount of salsa initially served, and oddly enough, it was not served with a spoon, which made using the salsa incredibly annoying (I didn't want to bother the server to ask for one, but I'm sure they would have accommodated). The burrito was good; nothing ground breaking per se, but a really great mix of breakfast flavors. The Fruity Pebbles french toast was a bit of a let down (not bad, just was hoping to my socks knocked off, and it was just good). The flavor highlight was the Fruity Pebbles, which I would not have expected. The bread used was okay, and a bit dry, though the condensed milk helped with that. Oddly, the servers kept coming by to take our plates when they thought we were done, and it was quite a bit too aggressive (multiple times coming around to try and take plates when we were still eating). This did mar the experience a bit, but still an overall enjoyable experience. Given the limited vegetarian options, and that the food was fine - probably not a revisit for us, but I'm sure will be great for others and definitely worth an initial visit!

    I was in town for the weekend and wanted to find the perfect place for brunch. After searching on Yelp, I came across Bosscat & it did not disappoint. We walked over from our hotel but there was a parking lot with plenty of space for parking along with street parking nearby. We had a reservation but it wasn't busy at all so we were greeted and seated pretty quickly. At first I was a little sad bc I wanted the burrata and jam but that was not available for brunch. We started with the beignets they came with a lemon curd dip that was topped with marshmallow and let me tell you this was EVERYTHING! The beignets themselves were soooo soft and that lemon curd dip was to dieeeee for! Seriously, had I not been sitting down it would've made my knees buckle. We were definitely there to get down with the mimosas but stayed for the vibes and the food. For my main entree, I picked the steak sandwich and booooooy was it amazing. The steak was juicy, tender and super flavorful. The bread it came on was nice and soft and that chimi churro sauce in the sandwich was *chefs kiss* The playlist was so much fun we were singing and dancing the whole time! I'm so glad we came across this place and got to experience Bosscat during my trip! Great service too! Thanks so much!

    The brunch menu was only available during my visit--plenty of drinks to choose from!

    Two friends and I decided to try Bosscat for Sunday Brunch, and I couldn't have been more excited to return after a happenstance Happy Hour visit just a few weeks ago. The brunch definitely did not disappoint! While waiting for my friends to arrive, I sat at the bar and chatted with Dan, the bartender, who was friendly and welcoming. He even recommended the ".38 Special" cocktail for when I return after "Dry January"--describing it as strong with a sweet finish. I'll definitely be giving that a try next time! Natalie seated our party and was incredibly attentive throughout our visit. She kept our water glasses full and made sure we had all the condiments we needed before we dove into our delicious brunch spread: * Smokehouse Benedict (with the egg fried hard) and a Solo Pancake on the side: The pancake was thick, fluffy, and so good I hardly needed syrup. The pulled pork was flavorful, and the crispy, roasted potatoes were perfection. The generous-sized biscuits went untouched since I already had a pancake. Next time, I'll know to skip the pancake and just grab some jelly for the soft, buttery biscuits! * Spicy Chicken + Waffles Sandwich: Presented beautifully--honestly, it could make Chick-Fil-A jealous! * My friends both ordered the Meili Punch, which they thoroughly enjoyed. The vibe was elevated by the DJ, who played music at just the right volume--enjoyable without interrupting our nearly 3-hour-long conversation. Not once were we rushed to leave! The playlist even had some early 2000s hip-hop classics, including Big Tymers, which made me smile. (Big Tymers at a River Oaks brunch spot? That's what you call diversity, LOL. I love to see it!) EVERYTHING was good! I'm already counting down the days until I return for my birthday to try more of their brunch menu. Bosscat is quickly becoming a favorite!

    Would this place be feasible for a party of 20 for brunch?

    Is it laptop friendly?

    Not really. I didn't get cafe vibes here. There was a lot happening when I was there, a couple of graduation parties and a wedding celebration. Maybe if you're having a business meeting and have to show a brief presentation from your laptop but I… Read more

    Are reservations required? Hoping to grab brunch.

    Unfortunately, no

    Do they do separate checks?

    Yes they do

    Is the patio heated? Thinking about whether it is useable in January.

Loch Bar fits that category, but what separates it from the pack is execution and energy. It feels alive in the way only a well-run bar-restaurant in a high-traffic district can feel: polished, but never sterile. We came in on a Saturday lunch service, the kind of in-between hour where the bar is already awake but the night crowd hasn't arrived yet. The space sits comfortably in the Galleria corridor, dressed in a way that suggests money but doesn't scream it. Brass, glass, and a kind of curated coastal aesthetic that works better in practice than it sounds on paper. It's a room designed for long meals that slowly turn into longer drinks. The table started with variety because that's really the only way to do a place like this justice. The chicken and sausage gumbo arrived first, though "gumbo" feels like a polite translation. This wasn't a thin, dark roux-heavy New Orleans classic. It leaned thicker, more stew-like, closer to comfort food than tradition. Rich, hearty, and slightly reinterpreted. Purists might argue, but flavor doesn't ask permission. From there, the table kept moving: mussels in a white wine-style preparation, clean and aromatic; lettuce wraps with skirt steak that hit that sweet spot between freshness and charred beef; bread service that did exactly what bread service is supposed to do disappear quickly and make you consider ordering more; potato skins elevated with caviar, a dish that sounds like excess but lands as indulgence done with intention. The real strength of Loch Bar, though, isn't just the menu it's the range. The oyster selection alone feels like its own ecosystem, a reminder that someone in the kitchen actually cares about sourcing and variety rather than defaulting to the safe middle ground. It's the kind of seafood program that invites repetition, not just curiosity. Behind the bar was John Ross a bartender with two first names and the kind of presence that makes a busy room feel personal. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing. The drinks came with quiet confidence, and more importantly, so did the recommendations. Good bartenders don't just pour they steer. He did both. What stood out most, though, wasn't just the food or even the service it was the room itself. The bar was alive in that Saturday way: conversations spilling over, strangers slipping into dialogue, the low hum of people who are exactly where they want to be for the next couple of hours. We ended up talking with other patrons without forcing it. That doesn't happen in every restaurant. It either has that social gravity or it doesn't. By the time we left, the place had fully shifted into afternoon rhythm still relaxed, but with the sense that the night was being quietly assembled in the background. Loch Bar doesn't try to be profound. It just understands its lane: seafood, cocktails, atmosphere, and a room that knows how to hold people.

He even reminded me of Childish Gambino (Donald Glover)! We ordered the chicken and sausage gumbo (a little spicy ), the complimentary rolls (so tasty!), potatoes with caviar--which reminded me of my bestie eating caviar with potato chips ... bad and bougie! --the mussels and frites, and the lettuce wraps. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We'll definitely be back! And a bonus: Happy Hour is every day from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. If you're looking for great food, good drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere, Loch Bar is worth checking out.

The steak came out perfectly cooked to my liking, the fries, super yummy, wished I had more! And the salad was light and crisp. I opted for the espresso martini, which again, made to my liking! I also ordered another drink, a vodka martini, which was nice crisp and smooth. To round out our evening, we ordered the bread pudding for dessert. They ran out of ice cream, but it was not needed. This is one of the best bread pudding's I've ever had. It had a nice toasted bottom, and was warm and gooey throughout each bite. I was only going to take a bite, but that was hard to do, so we devoured it pretty quickly. Suffice to say, I'll order that as an appetizer on my next visit!

    I celebrated a big birthday there a little over a week ago, and it was my first time, like most of…read moremy guests. I walked in, and no one was at the greeter area at first. A couple of minutes later, a guy walks up, I tell him my name and that I'm there for party inder said name, and he basically just waves me up the elevator. Like I said, it was my first time--I had no idea what to expect or how to get around. What started out as a nice experience turned into "meh" not long after the appetizers, which were good, by the way. When the main courses started to arrive, at least three people in my party weren't happy with their food. One sent her plate back and decided not to order anything else. After seeing that, I just went for a salad to avoid further disappointment with my own food. The bill was the next headache. The waitress seemed to try her best, but she needed help. It took over an hour to get things sorted out. There was no follow-up, no "sorry for your inconveniences," especially on my birthday, or anything. Other than the restaurant's look, the apps, and I guess the cocktails, I wouldn't recommend coming for anything outside of happy hour.

    I might have just found one of my new favorite restaurants in Houston. What a great experience!…read more Recently, a good friend dined here and immediately called me to tell me how great it was. She then text our friends group and said we all had to come together and we did just that. She made reservations in advance as this place is popular thanks to recent Michelin Bib Gourmand awards as well as many other accolades. Walk ins are welcome as well. Our reservation was later in the evening so after a night of bar hopping, we ride shared in which I think is one of the best options as parking is limited here or you have to find street parking in the neighborhood. This place is literally a house turned into a restaurant. Inside is just multiple rooms with a couple of tables. It makes for a unique, intimate dining experience, perfect for a date night. In our case, we were a group of nine so we got patio seating. The patio is spacious and well kept, and if the weather cooperates, a great place to hang. One thing that really stood out to me is the amazing ambience of this place. I was told that the bartenders pick the music for the night from the owners extensive vinyl collection. Once the album is in, they play it in it's entirety. The sound system was systeming and on top of the great company and food, we were totally vibing with the music. Customer service was amazing. Every staff member we came across was so friendly, especially our server. The menu here changes. There are some mainstays, but they like to change things up. Their website shows current menus daily. We were told that family style is the best way to experience this restaurant. I am one of those people that will always listen to the staff and go with their suggestions. Our group went through quite a bit of their menu from apps, entrees and desserts. I loved that our server and staff brought our food out one by one in what they thought was the best progression so we could take a culinary journey. We started off light with their popular Dilly Bread. Best bread I've had in awhile. Next was the Texas Tartare. It was my first ever tartare and it was delicious. We then moved on to Fingerlingin Good which was a crispy potato dish with chili crisp and mascarpone. It was potatoes elevated to the highest level and so so good. Next up was Beer Battered Sweet Tots. I didn't think sweet potatoes could be that good. Our first entree was a vegan dish called the Carroty Kid. I could seriously become a vegan if all dishes tasted like this. It was curried. A bowl of jasmine rice would've made it a complete meal. Next we tried another famous Nobie's dish called Nonno's Pasta. Handmade, perfectly cooked tagliatelle with a delicious bolognese. I wouldn't share this next time. Ok, I will, but it was that good. On to the heavier dishes. First up was the Jamon With Your Bad Self. This came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It was favorite heavy entree. It was high quality, iberico pork steak with shaved brussels and all kinds of other tasty ingredients that when combined made such a tasty bite. We then went to the sea with the Drops of Grouperter. It was good, but not something I would order again. It was a little too smoky for my liking. Our biggest dish that came market priced was the Kick His Ass Seabass. This was a whole fish that was presented beautifully on a platter with all the accouterments to make your own elevated fish tacos. We left no morsel of fish behind. It was absolutely delicious. One of the things this place is really known for is their pies. This was the part I was most excited about. Just like their menu, their pies change up. We got all their offerings that night which they presented on one big platter of goodness. Their main stay and I believe always on the menu is the famous Olive Oil Cake. It's not a pie, but I can see why this is such a popular dessert. I can't even describe it, you just have to try it to understand. The pies we had were the Black Bottom Strawberry Pie, Banana Rum, and the Peanut Butter Pie. I would order all of them again. We all had a difference of opinion on which was the best, but my fave was the Banana Rum. Overall, I was highly impressed with this place and kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to make it here. It had made it's way to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in Houston. I will be back.

    Houston has done it again! I'm going to be a little controversial here, but why is the food so much…read morebetter here than it is it Dallas? Had a 5:30pm resy, seated outside right away that Saturday evening--it was a full house 45 minutes later. You'd be a fool to skip the dilly bread--a complete fool! The rolls are pillowy and warm. 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! Until next time, Nobie!
