    Grilled octopus with fingerling potatoes... deliciously tender and buttery!
    Long T.

    Solid meal of elevated French-Spanish dishes... highlights included braised rabbit linguine, black seafood rice full of seafood, suckling pig with crispy skin, and even the special dish of venison served with a chocolate demi place. Overall, a very pleasant dinner.

    A+ in every category. The duck confit with quail egg and toasted baguette is a must. The citrus Salmon also a must. Hubby had the paella and he said it's continues to be the best he's ever had. I had the trout with jumbo shrimp. So delicious and a marvel of flavors. I chose the place to celebrate his birthday. It was perfect. The owners are so warm and charming, the place is cozy and elegant and the food is unparalleled. Over Christmas and new year we have been to every hit list restaurant in Houston and Costa Brava is the clear stand out and winner. Make reservations and look forward to the food and experience. I missed out on the chocolate bread pudding so we must return soon

    We had an OUTSTANDING experience last night at Costa Brava. My husband literally said, "everything was completely on point." Every course was delicious, the service by Angel was great, and the restaurant is beautiful. Oh and the website says no splitting soups, appetizers, or entrees but they only mean they don't split it in the kitchen. It's all good! Thanks Costa Brava team.

    Off the menu chilled foie gras appetizer.  Outstanding flavors!

    We dined for Valentine's Day and it was a meal full of love! We loved everything about our experience - from the restaurant's ambiance to the staff to the cocktails to the menu to the dishes. Every part of our dinner was superb! It's our new favorite restaurant in Houston (well it's actually in Bellaire). It is a bit pricy (entrees range from $30 - $54) but we are happy to spend a little more for such a wonderful dining experience!

    Just back from a lovely dinner at Costa Brava. Dark, intimate setting -- surprising, given the strip mall location -- with quick, attentive, knowledgeable service. Our waiter Jesus was on the spot with wine recommendations and dining choices, and I'm hard-pressed to find fault with anything we tried. While billed as a Spanish restaurant, the overall construction leans in on the border with France, so expect rich sauces and dense platings -- though I managed to finish my duck breast entree and half the quail entree my wife had. Starters are not to be missed. The octopus is some of the best I've had anywhere. Desserts are also solid, and I highly recommend the chocolate croissant bread pudding above anything else I tasted. Prices seem wholly reasonable considering the quality. I'd go back any time.

    Coasts Brava was everything I wanted for my 60th birthday!!! Aid read the reviews and wow what a gastronomic celebration of exquisite food!!! Beginning with the Octopus and fingerling potatoes, as good as Hugo's or Caracol and even Ninfa's on Navigation!!! The Paella was deep and delicious, even by my Husband who is from Sevilla, Spain. The Arroz con leche was definitely Spanish with the hint of citrus.

    Beautiful inside. Full bar nice wine list. Service was friendly and perfect. I went for the seared foie gras and it was amazing. I had a Tempranillo to start with the olives and tapenade brought to the table. After that I asked for a bubbly suggestion and was pointed towards the cava which was delicious. I had two. I had seared scallops perfectly cooked. I can't wait to go back to this lovely place!

    Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding with Crème Anglaise
    Lauren F.

    I had an excellent experience at Costa Bta this past Friday night. My husband and I got the pre fixe option, and we loved almost all of it. We started with a palette cleaner, which was some kind of get in an olive mold. It tasted strongly of lemon and olive oil, but I couldn't quite tell what was in it. My husband didn't care for it at all. However--the rest of the meal was fantastic. We had lobster, quail, foie gras, petite filet, and a white chocolate mandarían as part of the 5 course menu, and everything was 10/10. We also got an order of the chocolate croissant bread pudding, and I loved it. We had another "olive" with some kind of palette cleansing gel in it to end the meal, and it was much better than the first. My husband also really enjoyed the cocktails he had. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I especially loved that the chef came out and talked to us about each course--just above and beyond the typical restaurant experience. I would highly recommend this to my friends in the Houston area.

    Roasted Open-Range Australian Lamb Chops with Rich Lamb Jus, Sautéed Spinach & Goat Cheese Potato Cake
    Jordan W.

    Very good Spanish food! My favorite was the Paella! It was done very well. The octopus and mushroom risotto were also very good. We came as a party of 6 so we were able to dine family style. I highly recommend doing it this way so you can try everything! We'll definitely come back!

    Lamp Double Lamb Chop with Blistered Goat Cheese, Fresh Basil & Tomato

    This is another lovely place I found in the neighborhood. The service was nice and the interior was cozy. The food was pretty good as well. The only thing I was a lit disappointment they actually don't really serve tapas. Basically you only have choices of appetizers and entrees. We had a shrimp appetizer and fried calamari. We had quail and lamp for entrees. They all were really yummy. The lamp chop was pretty tender. I will definitely go back here sometimes for a good dinner.

    Wine Dinner Menu
    James S.

    My rating amounts to a 4.5 for their regular menu and a solid 5 for their wine dinner menus. I have eaten at Costa Brava almost a dozen times and the experience has always ranged from very good to outstanding! The regular menu could perhaps be a little more imaginative - but it is always very good. Where they really shine is their wine dinners. These happen once or twice a month. Generally the wine dinners are five courses paired to the wines that they are showcasing. Three examples I have been to recently were old world vs new world Pinot Noirs, Beaujolais and Burgundy. While not cheap, considering the quality of the food and wines - these wine dinners well worth the cost. Including the wines these wine dinners will run from $120 to $160 per person. Pros: This is a great special occasion restaurant. Generally quiet with romantic seating. Excellent selection of Spanish and French wines. Spanish and French influenced meals. Good Parking. Outstanding Wine Dinners. Cons: The meals can get pricey so be prepared. Already liking forward to the next wine dinner!

    Fantastic Mixed Paella !!!

Our friend booked a reservation and was able to add a fourth person without any issues. It's on Westheimer where all the restaurants and shops are, so it's pretty busy. You can either park on the street or in the neighborhood behind. There's bar, small table and booth seating available. One of our friends who arrived early got to switch us to a booth since we'd have a few plates to share for the four of us. My friend and I shared the NA red sangria. I liked that there was a NA option for that, and you can choose either red or white. We ordered a pitcher since we were sharing. It was delicious and refreshing. I think I had about 3 wine glasses of it. Our group shared the red fish à la plancha, patatas bravas, spinach frittata, olive oil pancakes and bacon-wrapped dates. Some of the dishes were bigger than others. Tapas is meant to be small plates, and they were, but it's a little overpriced. For example, the red fish was $15.50 for maybe 2 oz of fish. The stack of olive oil pancakes were small and thin for $8.50. If you're sharing, it's not that much food. I was going to order another personal stack of olive oil pancakes because that cinnamon butter was so good! I decided not to after I let all of what we ordered and drank settle for a bit after. The valdeon whipped blue cheese under the bacon-wrapped dates didn't taste very good and seemed grainy to me. It was my least favorite. The standouts for me were the olive oil pancakes, spinach frittata that was actually loaded with more veggies and bell peppers and the patatas bravas which was piled with potatoes topped with mayo that melted down and looked almost like melted cheese on top. It's a fun place for friends to gather or a cute date spot. You may or may not be hungry after depending what you order. There are larger plates/entrees like paella and branzino to share.

It came garnished with a rosemary sprig and they lit it on fire. Love a good show. For starters we ordered the chicken curry empanadas and the Pimentas. The empanadas were nice and flaky. Good flavor. I absolutely devoured the pimentas! I could eat a thousand of those things. For entrees we had the Polvo com batatas and the espetada de carne. The octopus was cooked perfectly. So tender and practically melted in your mouth. Potatoes were yummy and soft! The beef skewers came out with great presentation but honestly were bit unimpressive. Not that flavorful. I did come with some amazing french fries though! We wrapped everything up with dessert. The Pudim de Banana was scrumptious. The passionfruit caramel was such a nice twist. We also got the Bolo de Bolacha. I highly recommend this dessert!! Instead of a ladyfingers they use Maria cookies and omg it makes a delicious difference.

He ended up being one of the best aspects of our experience that evening. Our waitress wasn't nearly as good. We started by asking for ice in the water from the waitress since they just give you room temp water. After 10 mins of seeing her serve other tables and ignoring our request, we then figured the water boy would make it happen...and sure enough he did. We then ordered the grilled oysters, which are very lightly cooked, almost seemingly steamed more than anything, but they were very good regardless of the cooking method with the sauces and garnishes and pickle juice added. Next up was ordering the entrees. The menu here is a little strange with numerous vegan choices with strange titles and only a few items with protein. To top it off, there are not many choices period. The waitress explained that the left side is basically the apps, and the right side is basically the entrees. I knew I wanted to try the wagyu flat iron steak which is priced pretty high here, compared to other wagyu flat irons I've had at other restaurants across the US. We couldn't really decide on a 2nd main dish then the waitress mentioned the off the menu special which was a scallop pasta so we picked that thinking it sounded delicious. The entrees come out about 15 mins later, and we take our first bites and we both thought, oh no, if we share the other person across from me isn't going to like this dish because it's too salty. I tried the steak first and noticed the sauce being extra salty, then I tried the pasta and the pasta was way worse, but the scallops didn't seem to be affected. We immediately told the waitress the next time she stopped by....and she just said okay, and walked away. I figured she would go get the manager....but nope...she just kept on serving other tables. At this point we thought to ourselves only the oyster app was decent.....and no reason to look at the dessert menu since we had already spent over $100 on food we could hardly eat. Sure enough, the waitress stops by a 2nd time and asks if we'd like to see the dessert menu. I couldn't leave fast enough and told her we'll skip. Needless to say we both left hungry as the portions were not only not edible, but also fairly small. The water boy also stopped by and offered to turn on the heater if we get cold. Boy, I wish he was our waiter instead. For a supposedly Michelin-starred restaurant, I feel they really got this one wrong.

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'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.

    Had a lil dinner hangout with some friends from my edc group at mi luna in Houston. It's located in…read morea really nice area in the Montrose collective. Parking is pretty easy, there's a big garage that is pretty cheap, or you can park for free in the neighborhood. They have patio seating available if you wish to sit outdoors. This is a Spanish tapas restaurant, and their menu is very big it was pretty overwhelming to look at. Luckily for us, Richard locked in and ordered everything for us. If we were able to come a bit earlier we could've ordered during happy hour which has a lot of good discounts on their tapas What we ordered: - patatas bravas with chorizo - by far our fav dish of the night. The sauce is so so good. It's a must get, but I would pass on the chorizo next time - albondigas morunas - I enjoyed the lamb meatballs with cinnamon onions, couscous was good too - Plato de jamon Serrano - good app, love how you can customize it any way with the cheese, fruits, and olives - gambas al ajillo - shrimp in lemon garlic olive oil and red chili peppers, solid but not anything life changing or a must order - calamares a la plancha - grilled squid with roasted garlic and olive oil, very citrusy and unique - pemientos de padron - tasted just like air, really is just a Carrie for the lemon aioli which was really good - pescaditos Fritos - same as the pimento peppers. Came with harissa aioli and spicy tomato - sangria - we got some kind of jumbo size for a good deal. Good for sharing

    This was a lovely tapas restaurant! We stopped by for happy hour. The benefit of such an exhaustive…read moreHH menu is that you can try so many different items! Our server Ray was really kind and explained the menu concept to us and was so helpful in pointing out some delicious orders. We decided on several happy hour offerings - the chicken and beef empanadas, croquetas de patatas, bombas de queso, toasta de lengua, and a full order of the raba de toro (oxtail). For drinks I had the happy hour house sangria and piña loca. The sangria came out first and was so refreshing and with such a lovely aroma and spice. The piña loca was more of a miss for me - it tasted a bit like pineapple candy and was overly sweet. We had all our happy hour appetizers next. I was a bit surprised at how small the portion sizes are - keep in mind that the happy hour orders are half of the tapas plates, which are already small and designed for sampling. We split the empanadas and I adored the beef cheek empanada - the meat was seasoned so nicely and was deliciously soft. I also really liked the flavoring of the toasta de lengua. The croquetas and bombas had a lovely crunch to them. The oxtail came out next and the meat really was coming off the bone - so deliciously soft and well seasoned. It came with a side of bread and dipping oil that was a fantastic complement. We were amazed at how fast the service was. The staff were quick to fill up our waters and Ray checked on us the whole time we were there and took trouble to make sure we had a great experience. It's quite spacious with both an indoor area and relaxed outdoor patio. Overall this was a really tasty restaurant and I'm glad we got to try it. I would just keep in mind on your visit that it is on the pricey side, though the happy hour lets you get a nice sampling of their extensive menu. Till next time!
