After hearing non stop great things about Credence from friends and on social media, we finally went for dinner the other night to celebrate my birthday with some friends. The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back. read more

Made a reservation on Open Table and noted that it was our anniversary, so we were gifted a couple of glasses of champagne. We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion! read more

I was influenced. Credence has a really nice aesthetic. I went for my birthday brunch and it was pretty slow because there was a freeze warning . But our service was pretty slow despite that. Our server was nice and polite but not super attentive during a time that seemed pretty slow. The deviled crabs weren't what I expected but were pretty good. Kind of like a non baked crab salad or something topped with a light sauce. I really enjoyed the burger and fries I had. The other things I tried from friends were lacking flavor. The stuffed potatoes weren't seasoned, the stuffed beignet donuts didn't really taste like anything. Overall, the rest of my group wasn't satisfied. There was valet parking and other parking near by. Overall, it was an okay experience. I would consider going back for happy hour and getting the burger again. But we weren't super impressed... So I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Houston, Credence absolutely delivers--across the board. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this wasn't just dinner, it was an experience. The service? A flawless 10/10. Attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in making the night special without ever feeling overbearing. The ambiance carried the perfect balance of upscale and inviting--exactly what you want for a celebration. Now let's talk about the food... because wow. Every dish felt intentional and perfectly executed. The deviled crabs? Chef's kiss--rich, flavorful, and gone way too fast. The half chicken was roasted to perfection--juicy, tender, and beautifully seasoned. And the red snapper? Fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. One of the standout moments of the night was the Marguerite Bar Cart--such an elegant and memorable touch that elevated the entire experience. It added a layer of charm and personalization you don't come across often. We were celebrating a friend's birthday, and the team went above and beyond by surprising him with a signed birthday card. It was such a thoughtful, genuine gesture that made the night feel even more special. 10/10 service. 10/10 experience. 10/10 food. Truly a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful evening. Credence has set the bar--and then raised it. read more

One word I would use to describe this restaurant is intentional. From the décor to the food selection, every detail felt thoughtfully curated. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, which enhanced the overall experience. The food was exquisite, made with high-quality ingredients. The flatiron steak was amazing, and the mashed potatoes were just as impressive. The Caesar salad was solid, though the red onions personally threw it off for me a bit. The wine was surprisingly good, even as someone who isn't typically a fan of red. The ambiance was perfectly suited for the birthday dinner I attended, and the portions were generous. Prices reflect the experience you're receiving. The bread is a menu item rather than complimentary, nothing too exciting on its own, but it paired really well with their butter. Overall, I can certainly see why they have earned a Michelin star. read more

Really enjoyed my time here. We came for my friend's Bachelorette dinner. We got soaked coming in from the garage and the guy gave me a napkin to dry off. My cocktail was good and I like that they let you pick the Spirit for the expresso martini. My pregnant friend said the mocktail she got was one of the best she's had. The monkey bread and deviled crabs are must try apps. I was disappointed because the entree i saw on the online menu and planned on getting was not on the menu when I got there. But the fish we ended up with was good. They also didn't do anything to acknowledge our celebration which I listed on 2 spots on the reservation so that was a little let down. Would definitely return. read more

Stoped in for a birthday dinner. The service was stellar. it's such a cute place. They have valet and self parking. Appetizer went really well with the deviled crab and the monkey bread. The fish was as good however my steak came out under. I actually was going to take it and just cook more later but one of the managers was nice enough to make a new one. it's made on a grill so the sear or char you may be looking for wasn't here for me. Two out of three of my sides came out room temp but the flavor was there! The roasted carrots are good! The potatoes are also good. i would still come back to give it another go. Plus, the deviled crab is worth the trek! read more

Great ambience and good food in the Memorial area! They are focused on making Texas focused foods using live-fire preparations, which makes for great food. Definitely make reservations, because this place gets busy. Here's what we got: Monkey bread - 4/5 - it's buttery bread, so it's tough to not like it, but we honestly expected a bit more from it. It tasted like a basic roll. We got it with the trout roe, which I don't know if it's worth it. Tuna tartare - 5/5 - this was great! I love the crispy rice, and had a spicy kick. Heritage half chicken - 5/5 - very flavorful and juicy. Hearth roasted whole fish - 5/5 - this was delicious! Lemony, garlicky, dill-forward - all my favorite flavors! Wood roasted carrots - 3/5 - these were okay. They were more mushy than I wanted them to be. Overall a great experience and we'll likely be back if we're in the area! read more

But of a way out beyond the loop, but very happening even on a week night. Service- wonderful. Attentive. Managers came by to check on things which was a good sign. We literally came here this night to try the duck, as my cohorts had already been here before. Alas, they were already out for the night at 7pm. Though disappointed in the news we pivoted and found some alternatives to satisfy us. Drinks- all great all night. Apps- monkey bread with that crack butter. We also used it to sop up the tomato butter on the deviled crabs, which is also a delicious dish packed with lump crab meat. We also got the beet salad for some freshness- which was just fine. I tried the flatiron and we were all impressed with how tender this meat was! The snapper is also very well done, and I might have even enjoyed the blistered beans/snap peas more (they have the Smokey wood fired taste). Pork chop schnitzel another solid dish but not something I could devour alone. The crab fried rice came recommended to us- very garlic forward but also great. Since we didn't get to try the duck they were kind enough to treat us to dessert- so of course we had to try the soufflé. Super light and gone in seconds. Worth stopping by and I was keen to try after the Michelin recs especially. There is free parking in the garage at the back. read more

Excellent service by our waiter/host. Attentive, respectful and eager to make anything right if it was not to our liking. The drinks were boozy, and nice. I really enjoyed the deviled crabs, and raw oysters selection. The fried pork chop was delicious and did not come with the basic "apple sauce" as done at other places. The fish was flaky, and juicy. The vegetables could have been cooked less to retain the crunch and colour because the snap peas looked like the life was wrung out off them. Our host/waiter asked very politely if I wanted a redo, but I politely declined. So I appreciated the offer and service! I was very miffed that the chocolate soufflé was not available for lunch because they only serve it for dinner. What a miss!! We will have to come back for it. read more

I love going out to eat with a bunch of women because sometimes y'all decide to just order half the menu so you can all try a little bit of everything! We ladies met on a Saturday for brunch. Abby was our server very knowledgeable. She helped us navigate to some of the must tries on the menu. We started with the monkey bread and devil crab boy was that decadent and a real treat. For mains, we had a seizure, salad with shrimp, roasted beef salad, the heritage chicken, country and pimento cheese, grits, and the crab fried rice. Everything shined. The heritage chicken melted in your mouth and cornbread gnocchi was as good as it sounds. I love cheese grits. I like pimento cheese. Mixing the two together unlocked a whole new craving for me! The biscuits were spectacular. Not usually a fan of beet salads, but everything in the salad complemented each other. The Caesar was unique and well done. They only miss for me was the cinnamon roll. I don't like cream cheese icing so I was excited to know this one was a sugar icing, but after taking one bite, I didn't need more. I just didn't do it for me. Other than the cinnamon roll, everything was spectacular. The service, the ambience, great! I can't wait to take my husband back for a date night and to try to the dinner menu! read more

Credence was such a great pick for my birthday lunch. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly sophisticated--perfect for celebrating a special occasion. The service started off a little slow, but it picked up and didn't take away from the overall experience. And the food? Completely on point. Every dish was flavorful and well-executed. The standout for me was the deviled crabs--absolutely the best. Easily something I'd go back for again and again. Overall, a beautiful atmosphere paired with great food makes Credence definitely worth a visit. read more

Amazing experience with even better food! I stopped by on a whim. Thankfully I was able to get a seat at the Chef's bar. Everything here at Credence is Top Tier; from the welcome champagne to everything on their menu! The ambiance is incredible, it is a great place to take your significant other, or your group of friends. I do recommend placing a reservation as the wait time for groups larger than 1 & 2 were close to 45 minutes, stretching to an hour. If you do get a table, you will not be disappointed. I ordered the heritage chicken and it was beyond mouth watering. They have the live grill going right there in front of you so I knew it would be good. read more

Celebrated my birthday here and had a memorable time. We started out with the 'monkey bread'. I loved the how garlicky and soft the bread was, also the spread that came with it was phenomenal. For entrees we got the hearth roasted tuna and pork chop schnitzel. We both agreed that our plates were delicious. For dessert I was given a complimentary slice of chocolate cake and it was honestly perfect. My boyfriend hates chocolate but he enjoyed it. The service went above and beyond to make our dinning experience pleasant. Our server was very knowledgeable on everything on the menu. He constantly checked up on us and made sure our cups of water were filled. Perfect place for date night! read more

This place lived up to the hype. It was perfect for a midweek dinner. My friend and I decided to try this place and we were pleasantly surprised. I suggest making reservations. They have onsite Valet to remove the hassle of parking in this busy area. The staff move with a certain level of care that adds southern charm and sophistication. Love the decor options for indoor and patio seating with an open concept kitchen. Drinks: Little Aubrey 10/10 Trust me this drink is full bodied sultry and a perfect sip. Gin lovers this is for you. Mai tai 7/10 not as sweet as you'd expect but still a well made cocktail Old fashioned (not pictured) well made Food: Deviled crab 11/10 trust me you might need 2 orders. The flavors are rich, and explosive sure to make you crave another bite Chicken 8/10 Juicy, flavorful and paired with mushrooms peppers and gnocci in a delectable sauce.

I was having a rough morning and decided I wanted to reset somewhere upscale and enjoy my own company. I chose Credence for lunch -- it was my first time there -- and it was exactly what I needed to start my day over. I ordered a beautiful beet salad and the most delicious gin cocktail I've ever tasted. And let me say, I'm not a drinker. I've really stepped away from alcohol, but today I wanted something different -- and that's exactly what I got at Credence. I was worried the cocktail would be bland, overly sweet, filled with juices and extras, taste like every other gin drink, or just feel like I was drinking straight liquor. It was none of those things. It was refined, balanced, and truly elevated -- and somehow, it elevated me too. The entire experience felt like perfection. DJ was my waiter, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. He was kind, informative, and made sure I was well taken care of. Exactly the reset I needed. read more

Credence - Beat salad - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Service can make or break a place. I don't know that we would come back here based on our recent service experience but most of the food was quite good. The deviled crab appetizer was amazing. The Caesar salad is a little too bitter. The snapper and half chicken entrées were good. We made a reservation and we were seated at a table facing the bar. It was very loud and we were disappointed to see that there was a lot of space in the main dining room. Our waiter started off strong, greeted us and gave us information about the menu but as an evening went on, drinks went unfiled, he was nowhere to be found. We would see him chatting with other tables but he would never come by. Overall the food was solid, my dinner companions I went with loved the cocktail they had and were surprised that they were not offered one, that seems like a misstep by the restaurant. This was our second time at the restaurant and although the food is good, I think we would not come back anytime soon because of the service. I don't want to have to constantly look for a waiter to just get a refill on a drink read more

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and this place is a 10/10! It was kind of confusing to find at first, because the building looks like an office building from the outside. Credence is located across from an Italian restaurant called Ciro's. They do have free garage parking or valet for free with a tip. When you walk in you are greeted with smiling faces and friendly hostesses. The restaurant decor is luxurious and cohesive. The dining room decor carries over to the individual unisex restrooms. Credence's interior decorator(s) did an amazing job. Once seated the service began and I must say it was the best customer service. When I say everyone helped our table, I mean everyone. People such as 3 managers and several waiters. Our water glasses were never empty. Waiters were constantly removing excess dishes and glasses from the table. Waiters and managers continued to ask us, how is the food and if we needed anything. Unique features I enjoyed continued to elevate my experience are as follows. Waiters provided oshibori's after our orders were taken. I loved this small and intentional touch to our experience. If you have leftovers, waiters box your meal up and leave it with the hostess. You are given a locker key with a number on it. When you're ready to leave, you return the locker key to the hostess and they provide your leftover bag. Again, this was another intentional and thoughtful feature many places do not consider or implement. I loved this feature, because it kept the table free for us to continue to talk without obstructed pathways and views. Our waiters were Zachary and Chris. However, Chris was the main waiter and he was everything and more. He was attentive, friendly, helpful, and funny. He shared that he has worked in the hospitality business for 10 plus years. Because he loves what he does, he also works at The Cheesecake Factory as a trainer. It was a pleasure to have someone who loves what they do and has a pleasant attitude to match serve us that night. Ref we If you decide to dine, please ask for Chris. From the decor, service, and now the food, it too did not disappoint. There were so many good options to choose from, that it was hard to make a choice. Here is what the table ordered. Appetizers: Monkey Bread 10/10 (the butter as amazing) Hot Fried Quail 8/10 Deviled Crabs 10/10 Yellowfin Tuna Tartare 10/10 Main Course: Wild Gulf Snapper 10/10 (amazing, but ask for less char or no char) Heritage Half Chicken 10/10 (very tender) Cornbread Gnocchi 10/10 (slightly sweet) Sides: Heirloom Blue Crab Rice 10/10 Hearty-Roasted Cabbage With Lemon Chile Butter 10/10 If you are looking for a high end dining experience, this is your place to go. Perfect for all occasions. If you have an outside dessert for celebration, they were kind enough to accommodate us by storing it in the fridge. You can book a reservation on OpenTable or call. I would suggest calling and reserving the private dining experience. Private dining guest get a chance to enjoy live music. The private room is closed off and is reservation only. That is what I gathered from the conversation. They also serve brunch, which I'd like to try. Overall Credence was a well thought out and curated concept restaurant. Due to the rare service they have provided, this restaurant standouts in the best way possible. I cannot wait to go back and I highly recommend them. read more

We made reservations for Saturday night, they have valet parking out front. We were seated instantly in the beautiful patio area. We ordered the roasted gild oysters and the devil crab. The crab was so succulent and delicious. The oysters were good, but not my favorite as the toppings were overpowering. We ordered the snapper , ribeye and mashed potatoes for dinner. The snapper was delicious with a side or veggies that were Smokey, crisp, and tender all at once. The mashed potatoes were rich, buttery and creamy. The ribeye was also delicious! We finished our meal with coconut cream pie. It was so silky and smooth with a crunchy, salty crust. Overall an amazing place! read more

Yes I recommend Credence! Going back soon as well. This establishment is so lovely and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it looking for a nice upscale restaurant to celebrate my sister's birthday! Nothing but the best for my sister!!! I had a Staycation at Hotel Zaza and the Blossom Hotel which are walking distance from Credence but I'm realizing I overlooked the restaurant. So details..... the parking is valet, which I love. They are tips only which I don't like sometimes because what if someone decides to give the valet nothing or $1or$2, that's how they make their money. I digress... The esthetics of the outside going into the inside is just stunning. Whoever did interior design once you walk in is a genius. It's very charming and inviting-the way I like my men. Love! We were sat in a half booth, half table situation, which was cute. We had two waiters as one was in training. They were excellent! Great service, great attention to details, and great recommendations! We started off with the savory monkey bread with garlic butter. The garlic butter had a green tint so maybe pesto was involved but it was good. While I typically am not thrilled with paying for bread service (just up the prices of other items slightly and make me feel like you're giving me complimentary bread service) the rolls were fluffy and delish! We also had the smothered crab for an appetizer and it was oh so good! So delicious and decadent! My sister got the delicious Ribeye for her main with a Bordelaise sauce that lacked depth of flavor. It didn't reduce naturally so it was a bit too watery. She also ordered the crab fried rice to share with me and that rice was phenomenal! Phenomenal! It comes out in a dish with the crab fried rice alongside it is the kewpie mayo fortified with crab and shrimp stock. They mix it at the table for you. I would have loved to have it with some slivers of nori on it to bring out that delicious umami flavor but it was so yum. I ordered the half chicken with mushrooms and cornbread dumplings. Chef's kiss I tell ya! Chefs kiss! Chicken is usually the boring dish but my instincts told me to get it over a fish option. The chicken was so moist, well seasoned, juicy, and flavorful! Those cornbread dumplings were genius! They tasted so good! My sister had two tequila lemon drops which were so pretty and dainty- like her. I had a delicious grapefruit, blood orange, and rosemary mocktail with zero proof tequila. It was refreshing! They gave my sister a sliver of dark chocolate cake with a candle for her birthday and also a card which was signed by staff. Very nice touch! We also ordered the coconut meringue pie which had an off putting flavor. Fantastic establishment! read more

I started with the Deviled Crabs and it is one of the best appetizers I've ever had. It comes with two, but I was alone and enjoyed both. For my main dish, I had the Wild Gulf Snapper and it was excellent. Well prepared. Excellently seasoned. Everything paired well with a nice sized wine pour. The restaurant itself is so beautifully decorated and appointed. The staff was attentive and helpful. Parking is a bit rough, so consider doing valet. I would highly recommend having a reservation. I will definitely be back. read more

This place, Lordt have mercy! I don't even know where to start. Credence really took care of us! Indulged in a celebratory dinner with zaddy--Zach provided us with complimentary champagne--very nice touch. The ham pan de campo was new to the menu--most beautiful cheese pull you'll ever see in your life. Figs, ham, arugula, garlic, cheese! Oh my! All paired perfectly together. The star of the show was the branzino! Salt, Dill, ,capers and fish go hand and hand so shout out to the chef on making magic on a plate. Pork schnitzel, panko perfectly fried, not greasy at all.

Went to Credence for my friend's birthday brunch with a few girlfriends, and it turned out to be such a lovely night. The vibe was upscale but still relaxed and it was perfect for a celebration. We started with cocktails, and they were beautifully made (the lavender gin one was a hit at the table) and of course had to get my usual carajillo order and it was yummy! The food was creative and well-presented. The truffle pasta was melt-in-your-mouth flavorfuo and the scallops were perfectly seared. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for another special occasion. read more

I visited here a second time and this time made reservations so I could enjoy a full sized table and the main dining room. I tried different items on this visit including the devilled crabs, flat iron steak, monkey bread, barbecue gulf shrimp and the chocolate souffle. I also ordered the blue crab rice to go with the beef dish. Hits: devilled crab, monkey bread with smoked butter, flat iron steak, chocolate souffle Misses: gulf shrimp, blue crab fried rice. The gulf shrimp were small in quantity and came with a ton of gnocci which was okay. There was also not much of a "barbecue" flavor to them. The crab fried rice was too salty and maybe had too much soy sauce. Eddie V's crab fried rice is very hard to beat. Unfortunately the day I ordered the dark chocolate souffle, they had to substitute the ice cream for a biscotti gelato. That's an unfortunate substitution as I was really looking forward to the vanilla bean REAL ice cream. Two other issues that came up were the ordering process and the restrooms. The table had 2 different servers taking orders throughout the meal and they came to the table at different times and couldn't keep track of which dishes we had ordered so far, and which we hadn't...so they had to ask. This is kind of inexcusable for such a fine dining restaurant. The second and maybe most important issue was the unisex restrooms. When my dining companion decided to use the restroom toward the end of the meal, she found the toilet seat left in the up position and the toilet to be dirty from the previous customer. Another unclassy move by the restaurant to offer only unisex restrooms and have this kind of thing happen. read more

This is my first time to visit a Michelin restaurant. Mid-century modern decor, vaulted ceilings and an open kitchen definitely create a bougie vibe. We were greeted quickly and our server knew the menu really well. We came for brunch. Still pretty early in the morning, we began with their coffee--lackluster, at best. Bitter and lukewarm. I suppose a cocktail would have been a better choice, but Dry January is in full swing. We ordered the brunch deviled eggs, country ham, and the half chicken as our main dish. The deviled egg can be an art form in an of itself. Theirs was more paint-by-numbers than art. The Benson country ham requires some caveats: 1. The country in question is far fancier than the southern ham we expected, but the prosciutto was no less on point. The farmers cheese had no flavor, but the tomato jam makes up for that a bit. The real delight of this dish was the biscuit: flaky and delightful. The great redeemer of this meal was the half chicken. Robust with flavor, balancing spice with decadence, this was an excellent dish. read more

veeeeeeerryyy pretty interior, great for special occasions, and bonus of online reservations. Tall ceilings, cute decor, and waiters and waitresses are all super friendly and accommodating and always smiling. Our waiter gave us a very, VERY thorough explanation of the menu, and we chose an appetizer, a salad, and a main to split between me and a girlfriend. I very much liked the caesar salad, much more colorful with diff textures than other caesar salads i've tried in the past. the waiter gave great suggestions (they are michelin recommended for their service!) and everything else was great. He did say that dinner vibes are much more romantic but also way busier, with two waiters serving each table. def will check them out for dinner service one day because i had a great time at brunch. they even give you a little coat check token for your leftovers to take on your way out so you don't forget it at your table, and restrooms are decorated as elegantly as the rest of the place. i didn't look too hard but the most obvious parking was valet; i swung around to the back side of the neighboring commercial building to park, but i would recommend valet to find parking on busy times due to nearby lots reserved for other restaurants in the same lot. read more

Food was amazing. From the deviled eggs to the cornbread nocci. Service was superb and the rest ambiance felt a little bit like art deco.

Came here for a work dinner and was very pleasantly surprised by how good the food is. Definitely want to bring family and friends back here. For appetizer, we got the deviled crabs which were delicious - lots of crab and great flavor. For my main, I got the wild gulf snapper, which was perfectly cooked and wonderfully seasoned. The veggies on the side are often an afterthought but here, they were delicious and smoky and perfectly complemented the fish. We also got a side of the heirloom blue crab rice, which I would definitely get again. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and our service left nothing to be desired. Will definitely be back. read more

Credence - Wild Gulf Snapper - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

they have parking spaces in the garage, (that are reserved for the guest of credence) and they also have valet as well, that park in that same garage. the service is good, but they are booked out a lot of times, so booking a reservation is highly recommended. you can always call in, and see if anyone cancelled as well. we had the cornbread gnocchi - feels like you can't taste the truffle much, because the corn overpowers it, its veggie heavy. when it got to our table it wasn't hot, it was like lukewarm. leftovers were good hot though! hearth roasted whole fish - 10/10 - and they also pour this butter table side, and debone the fish as well. they do let you know the areas you may find bones. you know fish and their bones monkey bread - 10/10 - they recommend to get this other appetizer so you can mop up the flavor, but we didn't - we just got the butter it came with and added trout roe. we enjoyed it! Parisa - this taste like beef tartare - not bad overall I had a good experience - I liked seeing the fire in the kitchen and the veggies hanging down read more

Great attentive service and fantastic creative food. This was my second time in a week, one for work and it met the standard to bring the family there. Not sure i have ever head anything like that cornbread Gnocchi and the Tuna salad was sublime with great quality (rare) tuna and perfectly cooked beans I had the same wine i did last ice the Macon and also had a cocktail i forgot the name of, volvoda or something like that. I did not have the Oysters this time as they were honest enough to say that they were south of the cape (bay view) as opposed ot north last time (which i checked). It was Labor Day Monday, 1:30 - 3:30 or so, nice slow period with great wait staff. Parking is a bit of a pain, valet, but we are not allowed to park in the big obvious parking lot. read more

Have you ever been gifted a vase for your beautiful surprise roses that matched your dress? I have, thanks to Credence. ((edited deets)): I researched the vase, which isn't a vase at all. It's a entertaining decanter by Spiegelau. Its design to showcases wine as it is being poured and while sitting on tabletops. Amazing way to improvise Chelsea. Although we arrived late for our 6:15 reservation, the staff were incredibly accommodating. Samantha graciously invited me to relax in the waiting area until my date arrived. (Eta:6:28) ((which was probably best since they sat a party of 50! Prior to our arrival)) Soon after, hostess Chelsea warmly welcomed us and promptly seated us. (6:30) She even brought out a vase with water for the flowers my date gifted me, such a thoughtful touch! She introduced us to our captain Todd, who took our order, and server Paul, who delivered each plate with care. CREDENCE set the F'ing bar HIGH AF. We started with the deviled crab, hands down my favorite dish of the night. Rich, flavorful, and unforgettable. We also shared the heirloom crab rice, which paired beautifully with my wild gulf snapper, (trout Rowe on the side), -1 which was left off completely but they later brought me some, after asking 3 people. Dark Chocolate soufflé which I couldn't believe I completed it all alone!!! I don't believe it's worth the actual price, maybe because I'm not a fan to dark chocolate. I had to really dip it in the milk chocolate to enjoy this, and Paul brought me more milk chocolate for me to complete this with the ice cream. Didn't taste much of the dress sea salt which is in the description. The cake itself isn't really sweet at all, and takes 20 minutes to bake. Which I didn't mind the time at all. I was happy to stay. Throughout the visit our table captain Todd, and Sever tag team on keeping our water glasses filled. Credence team are extremely attentive. (We departed at closing, the experience was so grand, I didn't feel like it was after 9pm) Sweet boxing: Credence will box and bag your leftovers, and deliver you a metal # tag to collect upon exiting the establishment, which is located behind the hostess stand. I absolutely love this idea!!!!!!! ( I wish I captured a photo of this meal cabinetry) It's safe to say Credence is definitely rank one on my food list, bookmark list, list of recommendations, whatever other list I come up with. Credence is my first pick of choice!!!! Thank you Credence for making our first time experience one to remember. If I had to share a story about my best first date,. I wish they had tea time, because I'll come here for tea. The esthetics is giving tea time moments. read more

We had a deliciously spectacular girls dinner at Credence. Located near Hotel Zaza and Ciros in the Memorial area. They have complimentary valet and designated self parking in the garage. Do not attempt to park in Ciros as security will check and request you repark in the designated lots. Our party of 6 had made reservations for a Saturday evening with just us ladies for our holiday exchange. We had the luck to have the "Chefs Table" next to the Kitchen to see the kitchen do its magic and soak in the delicious aroma. It was all of our first time and Eugene was our waiter. I forgot the assistance waitress name, but she was excellent as well. The service was amazing. They were knowledgeable of the menu and provided us with recommendations and insight of their signature dishes. Cocktails and mocktails were great. I got the Little Sunday Mocktail and other ladies got the Dead Flower and Exit Plan. Interesting names. Lol. Items we ordered and loved. For Starters: - Monkey Bread - Deviled Crabs - Pan De Campo flatbread (Bentons Ham) - Yellow Fin Tuna Tartar Entree - Bone In Ribeye - Medium Rare. Cooked to perfection. With twice baked potatoes. Additons - Heirloom Crab Fried Rice - Cabbage with Lemon Butter - French Fry Service - 4 different dipping sauces Dessert - Carmalized Texas Toast - Coconut Cream Pie Everything was delicious and highly recommended. I thoroughly enjoyed the crab dishes. The caramelized Texas toast was a favorite dessert. Our experience was wonderful and service was top notch. Table was constantly maintained organized and clean. Dishes cleared and drink were kept full. We were checked on frequently to ensure everything was as expected. We enjoyed our holiday dinner and catch up. The food and ambience really was the highlight. Great for dates and gatherings for that fancy experience and service. read more

I chose this restaurant for my 29th birthday dinner and I'm so glad I did. We had a party of 4 and I really appreciate that we didn't have to wait to be seated until the whole party arrived. Our server was so kind and informative. We ordered our appetizers and drinks and the drinks came out immediately. I had looked at the menu in detail before so I knew what I wanted to order (oysters, monkey bread, deviled crab) and we also ordered lemon drops. For my appetizer, I ordered the snapper with mashed potatoes and it was also very delicious. For my birthday, they gave us all a glass of champagne which I thought was really classy and it was pretty delicious. I got my food to-go and it was very unique that they keep the boxes at the front and give you little keys to redeem your respective food. This place was featured in some TikTok's and the comments were all very positive so I took the risk and it definitely paid off. The interior is beautiful, and very clean looking and the exterior is very photo-ready aesthetic. The staff was kind and attentive. The food was amazing and I'd rate my experience a 20/10! Highly recommend read more

We finally made our way to booking Credence Restaurant. We heard they just received an award of Michelin recommendation. We reserved 6 ppl on Thursday and we end up only getting a table outside which turned out to be magnificent . The weather was perfect and they provided 2 heaters right by us to keep us all warm. This restaurant had a fun chic feeling ambiance, and let me tell you the attentive service we received all night. Delicious dishes we had and I highly recommend includes Deviled Crabs, Fried Quails, the Raw Seafood tower, the Roasted Fire Seafood Tower, Caviar, Caesar Salad, Texas Waygu which is plenty to enjoy by the table. Fun experience was the Martini table side. If your into Martinis, this is great choice. Credence really delivered a memorable fine dining experience with fantastic, creative dishes and a stunning, modern Texas ambiance. A must-try for quality food and atmosphere, especially for a special night out. Huge shoutout to our server, and the expert wine gentleman that helped us all night. We cannot wait to come back. read more

Met some friends for dinner at Credence on a Friday night. This was my first visit here. I did not look at the menu before and did not know what to expect. I would describe their menu as Texas cuisine with the special focus of being prepared over an open flame. Many of the options are prepared this way. Our service was excellent and the staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations for us to try. I ordered the red snapper and while I thought I wasn't that hungry, the food was so good I finished my meal. I'm excited to check out their brunch on Saturdays or Sundays. The dinner service did not disappoint! read more

Lovely dinner spot in Spring Branch! I was able to make reservations ahead of time and when we arrived, we were able to get seated right away. The interior decor was beautiful! With its high ceilings, modern decor and open concept kitchen. Background of Goodes brand. For drinks, I just ordered a classic margarita with Reposado and Tajin on the rim which they did a great job on. For starters, we got the Deviled Crabs (the smoky tomato butter was very tasty and paired well with the crab), Yellow Fin Tuna TareTare (had a qty of 4 pieces and the crispy rice had the nice crunch to it and the fish tasted fresh) and the Credence Caesar (loved all the extra shredded parmesan that was all over the top of the salad). For my main, I got the Pork Rib Chop Schnitzel (it was deff a shareable dish, crispy crust on the outside and the rib chop was moist). As additions, we got the Heirloom Blue Crab Rice (very flavorful/umami tasting), French Fry Service (truffly + parmesan cheesiness) and the Hearth-Roasted Cabbage with Lemon Chile Butter (probably wouldn't get this side again, it was okay). As for dessert, we got the Dark Chocolate Soufflee and OMG it was so good. Paired perfectly with a vanilla bean ice cream. Worth a try! Restrooms - Clean and had fancy napkins Parking - Free in the parking garage near by read more
