Nut allergy friendly: Pretty much no issues here!…read more Parking: There's some in the strip mall but definitely less than at the Bellaire location. Time to Appetizers: 20 Minutes Time to Crawfish: 25 Minutes It's a solid branch from the main location in Bellaire, but they're missing some things. For example, the Bellaire location has the new Viet-Cajun flavor of sauce that hasn't debuted here yet (though you can DIY a mix). (Review is for July 2026 if they've updated since then) We got here at 6:05PM and got seated with no issues. Ordered the following: Combo #1 with extra corn and potatoes (3.5/5): Crawfish isn't in season, so don't be surprised at my low rating. It's still great and flavorful all around. Garlic Noodles with Shrimp (4/5): Still incredibly rich and buttery and garlicy and great for a palate cleanser. I'd skip the shrimp; you get eight pieces for $10 extra and that's not really worth it. Crawfish Beignets (4.5/5): Still a fantastic appetizer. Comes out hot, crispy, buttery, and is a really indulgence. 1 lb. Little Neck Clams (4.5/5): I liked these more than the crawfish tbh. It really does depend on what's in season. Very easy to eat, very flavorful. Service was generally good but our server seemed slammed; it took a long time to get water refills and to place extra orders (we got a second order of beignets to-go). Market price for crawfish is high and they're not in season, so don't be afraid to ask. The Combo #1 in July 2026 was $22. Overall, I'll probably be back during crawfish season especially because it's more convenient for me than the Bellaire location, but the Bellaire location has it beat for general atmosphere after the remodeling and much better options for mixes there.

My only gripe is the parking and the daiquiri. *there's street parking ofc, but you can end up walking a little far. But there's also parking in the back and enough room for about 6 cars. There's also parking in the front as well. For the Patrice of the daiquiri I didn't think I'd be getting a kiddie sized cup. My total was 26.25 and I added 1 dollar for a tip Overall..

I love how the shrimp was prepared, with a delicious aioli sauce on top; the fries were crispy as well! My group definitely got carried away with the ordering, though... Seating was plentiful on a Thursday evening, and the service was quick! If I'm in the Heights and craving crawfish, I know to return to Reel. :D

I really wanted this to be a hit. Seafood, oysters, alcohol....vibes and a time right? It wasn't…read more I tried the bang bang shrimp, fried pickles, and chargrilled oysters. Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.

Apologies for the quality of photos, we dug in before I remembered to snap a photo.

We went around 6 p.m. on a weekday, and they had a steady flow of business. It's a small restaurant with a small parking lot, but they do have an additional lot across the street. We were greeted right away and seated immediately. Our waiter was also tending the bar. He was incredibly friendly and working hard, but because he seemed to be juggling so much on his own, service was on the slower side. For the appetizer, we ordered the Crispy Fried Oysters & Brussels, and I got the redfish for my entrée. The Brussels sprouts were flash-fried perfectly, and I loved the sweetness of the chili honey glaze. The oysters had a nice crispy coating, but I found them to be a little bland. The redfish, though, was absolutely the star of the meal. I cleaned my plate. It was served with Hoppin' John and a lemon butter sauce. I had never heard of Hoppin' John before, but it's essentially a Southern rice-and-bean dish, and paired with that lemon butter, it was so flavorful. It complemented the fish perfectly.

My husband wanted to try a new French-style restaurant for my belated birthday dinner, and I told…read morehim it had better be good. We brought two of our three teenagers, both foodies who appreciate the full restaurant experience, so BeauSoleil was going to get a proper test. First, the restaurant itself is intimate, cozy and charming. Tucked inside a converted house, the warm mahogany-toned walls, white tablecloths and smaller dining rooms give it an old-world feel. There's also a wonderful covered porch for outdoor dining. For longtime Houstonians, it reminded me a little of Just Dinner on Dunlavy, which I loved and still miss. Our table wasn't quite ready, so we bellied up to the cozy bar before being seated. The boys had soft drinks while Hubs and I enjoyed something a little stronger. I LOVE beautiful, eclectic glassware and china, and BeauSoleil had me. Against the white tablecloths are florals, gold trim, different patterns and even mismatched silverware. Nothing exactly matches, yet somehow it all belongs together. Each course arrives on another gorgeous serving piece. It feels a little like dinner in someone's charming home in France. We considered the Houston Restaurant Weeks menu, but ultimately ordered from the regular menu so we could share and try more dishes. We shared several appetizers instead. The East Coast oysters were fresh and very good. My favorite appetizer was the mussels; tender, fresh PEI mussels in a white wine and tomato base with Spanish chorizo. The chorizo added a smoky, savory warmth and a little spice. I don't remember finding a single unopened shell! The Burgundy Escargot was every bit as delicious as we've enjoyed in France. The Seared Foie Gras was my one miss. The brioche and blackberry compote were excellent, but for $24, I expected more foie gras. The Bread Service was another showstopper. Their aptly named "Butter of the Gods" is an incredibly rich blend that includes foie gras, bone marrow, truffle and more. The first few bites were an explosion of flavor! It eventually became a little too rich for us, but it's absolutely worth experiencing once. Service throughout dinner was wonderful. Our waiter took great care of us, and the host and manager also stopped by to check on us. I ordered the Seared Scallops over polenta with broccolini and goat cheese foam. I've watched Hell's Kitchen since its inception, so I've become VERY judgmental about scallops. These were perfectly cooked, beautifully seared, plump, tender and melt-in-your-mouth. Honestly, they stole the show on my plate. One son had the Branzino in lemon butter sauce with capers and broccolini. Light, flaky and not a morsel left on his plate. My husband and other son ordered the Half Rack of Lamb with pomme purée and haricot verts. The chops were substantial, beautifully seared and perfectly cooked. They looked so good I almost regretted my scallops. Thankfully, my husband shared one. Oh. My. Goodness. One of the best lamb chops I've had. Tender, perfectly cooked and that sauce! I tasted an almost coffee-like depth followed by a wonderful sweetness at the finish. Whatever the chef did, it worked. My one other small wish is for a little more variety in white wines by the glass, particularly Chardonnay. They graciously let me taste two whites, but neither was quite to my taste. I stayed with the Dirty Aphrodite, not exactly a hardship. I'd just love a really good Chardonnay with those scallops next time. At this point, any reasonable person would say we'd eaten enough. We had teenagers with us. So...dessert. One son ordered the beautifully presented Crêpes Suzette and thoroughly enjoyed them, but didn't share! My husband ordered the Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding with Chantilly cream and candied walnuts, and THAT I tried. Bread pudding is about the only "wet bread" dessert I'll willingly eat, and this was SO good. Warm, rich and comforting without being overly sweet. After everything we'd eaten, I had no business taking more than one bite...but that didn't stop me. We ended the evening by meeting the chef and giving her our compliments. We also met co-owners Miguel and his wife, Gayle, who were incredibly warm and welcoming. You can tell there's a lot of heart behind this restaurant. BeauSoleil isn't just about the food, it's the whole experience: the intimate converted house, gorgeous china and glassware, beautiful presentation, wonderful service and, of course, the food.

Hannah was our server and she was friendly and provided great hospitality. We started off our meal with some drinks and I got a classic margarita with tajin on the rim. For additional apps outside of HRW, we got a dozen east coast and gulf coast oysters (quite fresh and didn't have any briny-ness, all the Accoutrements paired nicely with the oysters) and the House Bread Service with Butter of The Gods (European butter whipped with Foie Gras, bone marrow, truffle, blue cheese, thyme, garlic, and Wagyu beef tallow, so good). For HRW Apps, I opted for the Escargot (garlic buttery sauce was delicious, no chewiness) and my friend got the crab cake (nice crust and good amount of crab filling). For our mains, we got the Boeuf Bourguignon (super tender meat and the sauce was surprisingly sweet, but didn't mind it) and my friend got the Branzino Filet (quite flaky and no fishy taste). For dessert, we got the Vanilla Shaved Ice (reminded me of a Korean shaved ice BingSu, light and airy, strawberry sauce was great with it as well) and Bread Pudding. Plenty of seating indoors, very intimate and outdoors seating as well.
