That said, Rosewater is a cocktail bar tucked away in Clear Lake and is probably one of the few spots in the area offering this type of experience, that's not in the heart of Houston. We stopped in on a Monday evening right before closing and were surprised that they still seated us and gave us the chance to grab a drink. I went with the bartender's choice mocktail, which was well crafted, while he ordered an espresso martini and enjoyed it. The drinks were reasonably priced, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the staff was welcoming despite us arriving so close to closing time. The space itself is cozy, with both indoor seating and an outdoor patio. Another plus is there's plenty of parking. Overall, a it's a solid neighborhood cocktail bar with a relaxed vibe. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

Getting to this area from Pearland is much easier than heading into Houston so I was more than happy to come here. I've been here a couple of times and the most recent visit brought me and a party bus full of friends here on a Saturday night. The place gets busy but parking hasn't been an issue on any of my visits. It's a narrow bar that may seem tight, but it keeps going towards the back with more seating as well as a spacious patio. Customer service is always great and the bartenders know their stuff here. They have a pretty extensive drink menu here and there is something for everyone's preferences. They have a long list of cocktails and they can make you anything you want as well. The staff are experts here. They also have an impressive bourbon collections with about 200 kinds to choose from. Along with their cocktails, they have a long list of martinis. I love a good martini and here they have so many options. You can't go wrong with my favorite espresso martini, but the one that wowed me here was the Cucumber Patch. Cucumber flavor profile is not typically something I seek out, but I was in the mood for something refreshing and this was suggested to me. Get it and thank me later. As far as food goes, they have a separate BBQ business on site that sells some food. Don't sleep on the Bay Area if you are looking for a nice cocktail. This place will quickly be one of your favorites. I will surely be back.

The Davenport Lounge Clear Lake has probably been there for years, and I somehow just now decided…read moreto check it out. I've driven by a countless number of times, and you'd never really know it's there. But walking in, you immediately get that local dive bar kinda vibe in the best way possible. I met up with some friends here for a chill drink after work, and to our surprise it was karaoke night! I have to applaud the regulars here because they can really SING! But don't be shy if you can't, they were welcome to everyone going up for a song. As far as drinks go, I had the Alimony. I was sold on it because it's gin, guava juice and elderflower liquor. Balanced, not too sweet, and had a little bit of sparkling effervescence. Pair that with a shot or a beer, and we were having a great time catching up with old friends. I don't remember our bartender's name, but she gave us great service. Overall 10/10 recommend the Davenport Lounge Clear Lake if you're looking for where the locals go, trust me they know best.

This place was recommended to me, and I was a little unsure at first. I honestly thought I was…read moregoing to a hole-in-the-wall taqueria, but this is a full blown Mexican restaurant, and a solid one at that I don't claim to be the expert on authentic Mexican food, but this is some of the best I've had to date. I wasn't overly hungry, but I certainly ate my body weight in complementary chips and salsa. You are given a basket, red and green salsas, and refills for both. The green was especially delicious The exterior looks to have had a facelift over the years, and the interior is well decorated. There's also plenty of parking. We didn't have to wait at all for a table, and it was fairly busy As I mentioned, there are the majority of classic mexican delicacies on the menu, and some TexMex adjacent dishes, but again, I'm not the expert. I was in the mood for tacos, and that's what I went with. There are several proteins to choose from, and you can order tacos à la carte. I wasn't sure how big the tacos were (if they'd be street tacos sized), and I chose flour tortilla instead of corn tortillas, and the tacos were much bigger than I expected. My friend was in the mood for breakfast, and they offered that menu even though it was in the afternoon There is a full bar, but we didn't have any alcoholic drinks. They have jarrijitos and other drink options Everything tasted great, and I was surprised just how affordable my meal was. I think I walked away paying close to $8 for my 2 tacos Some tips: This is NOT TexMex. If you're a fan of Mexican delicacies this is a great spot for you. It also helps if you have someone who speaks Spanish. You can get by in English, but the majority of servers speak Spanish, and it definitely adds to the authentic ambiance Cheers!!

The owners don't want to hear this but it's the truth. Avoid this place. There's a lot more bars in the area that offer way more than this hole of a club. Poor management and worse owners because they obviously don't pay attention to all the cameras that are in there when the bartenders are drinking and smoking behind the bar which is completely illegal. Also they bring food that's cooked offsite and serve it in the restaurant which is 100% illegal. This place needs to be shut down before someone dies from a food borne disease. Prove me wrong, send a health inspector they will fail terribly. Nothing is labeled according to food service regulations. They never wash their hands between the bar and the kitchen. Even behind the bar the bartenders are messing with their hair and not washing hands after. Don't believe me go watch the cameras it happens every day and night. There isn't one person in there that's a certified food handler. I guess the shortcut that just like everything else food related.

We visited after a graduation, and they were very accommodating with our large group. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the high reviews for me. I ordered the habanero short ribs, which were just decent. Some pieces were fatty, others were tough, and there was a sweeter flavor than I expected. My husband's fajitas were also just okay and seemed borderline overcooked. I also got the sense they may have been understaffed, because it took a very long time for our food to come out. The biggest misses for me were the extremely watery salsa and hard, flavorless chips. To end on a high note, the drinks were very good, and I would definitely recommend stopping in for cocktails.

11.09.25 stopped by here today with a friend for a late lunch early dinner. saw this place on…read moretiktok and food review channels, so i had to try it out myself. first impressions, once i got to the parking lot, i thought, oh this might be that good, for it looked like a mexican restaurant from the outside, however once stepped inside, its a whole different appearance, very nice, very clean and peaceful. so this place, as seen on tiktok and food review channels, as well as advertised outside, boasts an all you can eat seafood buffet. once i stepped inside, i looked around before being seated, to see where the buffet table was, and i didnt see any. after being seated, i asked the waitress, where is the buffet table, and/or how does this work. the waitress mentioned, you just order what you want from the buffet menu and they bring it to you. i think this is a great idea, i dont have to get up, nor fight other customers on the last of any items. the waitress mentioned to me, since today its not busy there is no time limit, however, when they are busy, there is a 2 hour limit, and with the order of the buffet, there is one complimentary premium order of either 1 lobster tail or 1 cluster of snow crab. so i began my order with a house salad with ranch, and a seafood gumbo. i appreciate that the salad was made fresh, everything clean and crispy, the seafood gumbo however, was a bit of a let down, it was runny and was not served with white rice as it normally is at other seafood places. next i ordered from the boiled menu, shrimp head off, crawfish and a lobster tail, as the complimentary premium order, cooked with garlic butter. for everyone out there that is used to normal seafood, especially cajun seafood, make sure you order some dry seasoning or at least the cajun seasoning for the boil to cook in, the garlic butter boil, was very plain, and i was expecting to feel some kind of spicy burn, however none, just a bit of garlic flavor, with the buttery oily taste. the shrimp was a bit over cooked, however was edible. crawfish was ok as well, however, all were small crawfish. and the lobster tail was a bit overcooked as well, and somewhat small than the normal lobster tails that are served at other places. next i ordered some fried headless shrimp and an order of sole fish. again the shrimp was a bit over cooked, and the sole fish was freshly cooked as well, for it was blazing steaming hot every time i bit into it. the tarter sauce, i dont know what it was, for there was no taste, tasted more like i was dipping the fish into mayo, and the cocktail sauce for the shrimp, tasted like ketup. to drink i had a water and a sweet tea, water tasted fresh like good clean water, and the sweet tea was really good, nice and sweet just how i like it. this is a good place to try once, however, it wasnt good enough for me to say, 'i cant wait to go back.' there are other places that i know are way better, that i cant wait to return to, to have some great seafood. for this place, i say keep trying, maybe someday, this place could maybe compete with the big boys.

Not enough variety in the menu, which is disappointing. There are too many other seafood…read morerestaurants in the area where you can get many more types of fish (not just catfish), and almost every other place has more variety and choices of dishes (including the inexpensive seafood restaurants in our area.) The food is okay, but should be much better considering the price of their meals. There are fast food seafood places close by that are much better, and you'll spend much less money to eat there. It took longer for our food to get from the kitchen to our table than I would have expected, and we weren't even there at a very busy time. I would therefore expect it to take a really long time to have your food served if you went there at a time when they are much busier, such as during your lunch hour, or during the height of the dinner hours. The decor and ambience are petty good in this former Red Lobster location in Pasadena, Texas, but what diners really care the most about is the menu selection and quality of the food, as well as a reasonable price (both of which are disappointing for this Aquabite Cajun Seafood restaurant.) Restaurants from this chain that are located inland (such as the one in San Antonio) are probably more popular, since they are not close to any ocean. But here on the Gulf Coast of Texas, seafood lovers are used to (and expect) much better. My opinion of this restaurant is even more negative due to the fact that, when we ate there, I paid there with my credit card, and shortly after eating there, that card started getting many HUGE fraudulent charges on it, and I strongly suspect that my credit card information was stolen there. After I paid, our waitress disappeared with our credit card for a very long time before returning it. I believe that it was then that either the waitress or somebody else in the restaurant (most likely someone who worked there) stole my credit card information during that long period of time that my credit card was out of my sight. Credit card payments are safest when the waitress/waiter uses a card reader/payment processor that is nearby, and within your sight, OR paid via a tablet computer belonging to the restaurant that is set up to make payments on. I had to go through the hassle of cancelling my credit card account (after the fraudulent charges were made on it) and then changing all of my credit card billing information at all of the places that I normally pay through automatic credit card payment. After reviewing all of the other places that I had used that card at recently after this visit, I feel very strongly that Aquabite is where my credit card information is stolen. So, less than average food, overpriced for what it is, not the fastest service, and questionable safety for credit card payments are all very good reasons not to go back to this restaurant (and we never will again.)
