    A Symbol of Joy, Hope, and Peace in a Place That Offered None.
    Mai

    If I could give 0 stars or even negative stars, I absolutely would! Yesterday around 5:00 PM, I arrived at Eddie V's with my service dog. It was during happy hour and the restaurant was not busy, there were many empty tables. However, the staff kept me waiting at the entrance for a long time and only told me to "wait," and even asked me if I was celebrating something. I explained that I had originally planned to come here for my birthday, but ended up going to a Rockets game instead, so plan changed. Since we were nearby today, we decided to come over. After waiting for about ten minutes, the host finally took us to a table outside the restaurant, placing us in a bare, uncovered outdoor area. I was so confused why. We requested to sit indoor. When we returned inside, another male staff member approached us, looks like a manager. He did not identify himself and did not ask any questions. He immediately told us that because they have an open kitchen (although we did not see any kitchen from where we stood), service animals are not allowed inside, even if it is a service dog. I was SHOCKED literally. I felt DEEPLY UPSET and disappointed. I did not want the incident to ruin what was supposed to be a pleasant dining experience, and I was also relieved that I did not come here earlier for my birthday! At that moment, I felt extremely uncomfortable -- being confronted by three staff members in such a dim, suffocating, and oppressive environment made me feel like I could barely breathe. I felt so distressed that after saying "No, thank you" to the male staff member, I quickly left the restaurant with my service dog just to calm my breathing. Let me be clear: it wasn't just you refusing a person with a disability -- it was a clear demonstration that you are fundamentally unfit and unworthy to serve the public at all. What happened is a serious violation of ADA regulations, and Eddie V's should feel ashamed. I have never experienced such mistreatment and discrimination, and I sincerely hope no one else has to go through what we did.

    The ambiance is great. Love that you can hold a conversation and still hear yourselves. The food is delicious. Everything is made with great flavor and the drinks were amazing.

    Why 5 stars? Because this is a really solid option for a special occasion or just a nice night out. --- --- --- I hosted an event for my former employer at the Eddie V's in San Diego back in September of 2022. The venue did a great job hosting the event and all of the food that they brought our group looked absolutely amazing. The only problem was that I ate something earlier in the day that didn't agree with me and I was super nauseous the entire night. I watched glorious plates of cocktail shrimp float around our room and had the cruel misfortune of not being able to eat a single bite of any of it. My contact that I organized the event with was kind enough to send me a gift card so that I could try Eddie V's at a later date. And that gift card sat in my wallet for 51 months. Why the delay? I do live an hour away from Eddie V's. And it would come up as an option for birthday and anniversary dinners, but we just never made it in. So when my Mom and I were talking about meeting up for dinner in Houston, I mentioned it and she was pretty instantly sold. So three paragraphs later, let's talk about that experience: First off, our server was great. Sadly, her name escapes me, but she had curly red hair and glasses. She was very natural and felt more like an old friend than just a server. She also had some great recommendations for us on what to order, so kudos to her! As for the food.... Lobster Tacos: 5-stars. This was the favorite dish for both of us. Perfect tacos. The tortillas were made in house and were some of the best I've ever had. They were also infused with something (is infused the right word when it's not liquid?) They had little green chunks embedded within them - the server told me what it was, but I've already forgotten, sadly. Bottom line: do not come here without ordering these. Crab Cake: 4.5-stars. Excellent all-around and only overshadowed because it was served at the same time as the lobster tacos. Chilean Sea Bass: 4-stars. Delicious and tender. I asked our server how it compared to butter fish and she said it was similar, but less buttery. She provided a very apt description. I enjoyed this, but would opt for something else next time only because it's just north of $50 for 290 calories worth of food, which feels kind of excessive. Crab Fried Rice: 4.5-stars. Lots of crab meat on top, which was excellent. I wouldn't have ordered this if not for our server's recommendation, but it ended up being a good one. Brussels Sprouts: 4-stars. Solid rendition of brussels sprouts, but I would have preferred maybe some loaded mashed potatoes or mac-n-cheese instead. Bananas Foster: 4-stars. The liquer that the bananas were dipped in was a bit much, but this was an enjoyable dish otherwise. Eddie V's: I'm sorry it took me so long to visit. I would happily come back again, and hopefully it doesn't take 2+ years.

    Lobster bugatini with truffle which
    Tami S.

    We had an amazingly 18th birthday dinner tonight. The table had birthday confetti on arrival and we had champagne toasts at the beginning of the meal. We even had a complimentary amuse-bouche which was quite yummy! I had the lobster pasta special with truffle which was amazing. They went above & beyond to make my son's birthday special and we will definitely return and request our waitress Michelle again! Thank you to Karla & Will for making Brady's night special.

    We came to Eddie V's for our anniversary and they definitely delivered. We wanted steak and seafood and they had good reviews on both. When we arrived there was an anniversary card and rose petals on the table- a nice touch that I should have taken credit for in hindsight, lol We had a few starters - the shellfish tower, the lobster tacos and lobster bisque THE SHELLFISH TOWER It included an array of Wild Gulf Shrimp, Blue Point Oysters, Jumbo Lump Crab And Maine Lobster on Ice. Accompanied With Champagne Mignonette, Atomic Horseradish And Housemade Stone Mustard Sauce. It was perfect. MAINE LOBSTER TACOS These had avocado, cilantro, corn pico, a sauce and cotija cheese. Good but not great. Lobster needed more flavor. For the price, I definitely wouldn't order next time. MAINE LOBSTER BISQUE Very good. One of the best I've had in Houston. They use crème fresh instead of heavy cream which added to the flavor. Large chunks of lobster at the bottom. Loved it. Then we moved on to our entrées I had the 18oz Prime bone in New York strip steak cooked medium rare. They cooked it perfectly and it was seasoned well. Definitely a high end steak. I also had a smoke old fashioned which they smoke table side- a nice touch as well. My wife had the 10oz Center Cut Filet Mignon and she really enjoyed her steak as well. Throughout the night we had great service and great drinks. They brought us out a flaming dessert at the end of our meal with "Happy 11th Anniversary" on it as well. I would definitely recommend Eddie V's

    Crab cake and calamari

    I'm on the fence about our visit. It started off pleasant but the experience was inconsistent overall. A few issues- Even for a slower night, refills on drinks and cleaning of the table took longer than expected The wait for a simple dessert was excessive The Brussel sprouts arrived burnt (laughable they made it to the table, they all were burnt) during which 3 managers came to speak to us and none of them knew about the issue, communication seemed to be an issue. *important to note the restaurant did make it right by providing another order Overall the food was good, and the staff were very kind, for the price I'd expect a little more consistency especially on a slow night.

    Thanksgiving Dinner (10 out of 10)
    Andrea S.

    Hi All, this review is going to be a bit lengthy because this was an amazing dining experience and I don't want to leave anything out. First, Eddie V's provides exemplary service and food. I have been many times and they never disappoint. Today, I took my mom out for our Thanksgiving Meal (I will go into more detail on that shortly). The minute we came in we heard beautiful live music and we were immediately greeted. We did have reservations and were seated within a couple of minutes. At the table, a server came over to ask us our water preference. When our server Leanne came out she was very friendly and greeted us. Eddie V's servers have the most engaging personalities and she was hands down the best. She asked us what else we would like to drink and brought us the most amazing hot sourdough bread with butter. They sprinkle the butter with Himilayian Sea Salt and chives. My taste buds were all kinds of happy. Leanne then took our order. As I mentioned earlier, we both ordered the Thanksgiving Dinner. The dinner came with the most moist Turkey and gravy, mashed potatoes, brioche & sage stuffing (I am not normally a stuffing fan but this was by far the best), butternut squash with rasins, green beans, and cranberry chutney (loved the cinnamon in the chutney). There is a lot of food in that meal, so it is definitely worth getting half boxed up so you have room for dessert. For dessert we tried the pumpkin tart, it was decent, but does not compare to Eddie V's Bananas Foster. When Leanne came and asked me what I thought of it, I gave her my honest opinion and let her know I def prefer the Bananas Foster. She was so kind as to bring me and my mom a mini Bananas Foster. Leanne went above and beyond to make our dinner special and we appreciated our special dining experience. Eddie V's is perfect for a family dinner, girls night, or date night. Regardless of the ocassion and who you are dining with, it will be an amazing experience. Our meal, service, and ambiance were all a 10 out of 10. Thank you Eddie V's and thank you Leanne.

    Five of my cousins and I attended Houston restaurant weeks at Eddie V's in City Centre. The atmosphere was amazing and we had the best server, LeAnn. She was very attentive and really. She made our night very enjoyable. The manager was very nice as well. I don't remember his name, but he was just as attentive as our server. We will definitely be back. I so loved this location and the food was amazing.

    Lobster bisque and lump crab cake

    Which house a Friday night to go to the restaurant as we wanted to try their Golden Nights, lobster and wine event. For the low low price of $38 you get a glass of wine and you can choose from a heated or chilled lobster roll with a side of fries. I chose the Angel rosé with the heated lobster roll. This ensemble did not disappoint. We also had the lobster bisque and the lump crabcake. The crabcake is one of the best crabcakes I've ever tried and they are not skimpy at all. The lobster bisque was mediocre. I've had better, but it was still good. The ambience was really nice. We sat in the area where they had live music going and our waitress. Kayla was amazing! Kayla was very attentive and took care of us the entire time we were there. I will say the area that we sat and had gnat problem and fighting them off became very tiresome. They did offer to move us, in which they did and they did comp us for a few items.

    Lemon drop

    We always come here to celebrate my dad's birthday every year. Last year we had Michelle as our waitress who was wonderful so I requested her again this year and she was amazing per usual. I love that they brought out three tiers with different plates of dessert on each level that all had happy birthday with my dad's name written on each plate. Of course Michelle comped these and gave them to us on the house. This was a first for us to get this type of birthday dessert we usually just get the banana foster and all were delicious! Drinks were good we had lemon drops with tequila, the private plane and 24 carat drinks. Calamari and crabcakes were good for our appetizers. For our entrées, we had ribeyes and salmon. I will say that two of the ribeyes were not as flavorful and seasoned as they usually are so we did have to request salt, which was a first for us. I'm not sure what happened with those particular entrées but we loved our sides of truffle, Mac, au gratin, potatoes, brussels sprouts, and crab fried rice. This it still one of our family's favorite steakhouses to go to celebrate special occasions. They even remembered to decorate the table with happy birthday confetti and if you come for a romantic night, they also will decorate the table with flowers. Highly recommend!

    Tableside Steak Tartare
    Mahwish S.

    Houston Restaurant Weeks Fine Dining $$$$ We also ordered a few things off the regular menu to try. For starters we ordered: gulf oysters, lobster bisque, lobster tacos and steak tartare. Yeah, I know it sounds like a lot but you can't take us out when we are starving! Everything looked and tasted good! The oysters were cleaned correctly so you didn't get that gritty sand in your mouth, which I hate. They took their time to get all the grit out, thank you! The tacos had good chunks of lobster. Their tortilla is made by them, a mix of flour and corn. The tartare was mixed together at table side. It melted in your mouth, meat was so soft. I liked the crostini that came with it to give it that crunch. The bisque was yummy and creamy. Out of all the appetizers, we could have not ordered the tartare but only because I'm more of a seafood person. For entree, we both ordered the sea bass and a side of crab fried rice. I feel this dish was a slight miss. Unexpected a little bigger piece of a fish, but it was cooked perfectly. However, the broth was on the salty side. We used the rice to soak it up hoping that it would cut some of the salt, but that didn't help. Then we had salty broth rice. I think it would be better to use the low sodium soy sauce in this dish to make the broth. I also asked if the crab would be chunky in the rice before we ordered it. The waiter said it was, but this was more like shreds on top of the fried rice. It was not chunky enough for me. The sides are served family style and we split it. My dessert was phenomenal. I absolutely loved that banana foster butter cake. You can taste the alcohol when they poured the flambé over the cake and it soaked it all up. It was divine with the ice cream! Hubby had the chocolate cake, which was very rich but dense. Also served with ice cream and berries. We ordered a bottle of Dr Hermann Riesling (from Germany) to have with dinner. I enjoyed the light and sweet taste of the wine with our meal. Our server was great and came by the table often! He kept our wine glasses full and I really enjoyed the food and my date.

    Au Gratin Cheddar Potatoes

    I absolutely love Eddie Vs and it's one of my favorite restaurants. I am a steakhouse lover and Eddie Vs is where I find myself at least once or twice a month. The service is always consistent. The food is always consistently good. Their steaks are very well flavored. My favorites are the ribeye, Brussels (seasonally available) and a must is the au gratin potatoes. I don't really care for their lobster bisque but it's solid.

    The Bananas Foster Butter Cake was yummy.

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.

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!

Me and a friend split the Kebab Land mix that was recommended for 1 person, but it was the perfect amount of food for two people. The shish kebab skewer was super tender and had good flavor and the beef skewer was also tasty, but just a bit tough in my opinion. The chicken was moist and had a good charred flavor. The rice and grilled tomatoes were standard though the homemade bread was a bit thin and bland. Considering the bold flavors from the other elements of the food, the bread did complement it well. (6.5/10) Overall, the food is very comparable to other restaurants that serve this kind of cuisine. I think this place is definitely filling in a gap as there are not many other places in this area that serve this kind of food. If I were craving some kebabs and didn't want to drive too far I would definitely come back here. The owner was also super kind And the service was quick. Something else to note is that they only have bottled water that they charge for but the hot tea is free. The ambiance is super casual and parking is super easy because there are a ton of spots around as it is apart of a huge plaza.

The bartender Axle was a terrific host taking care of patrons as quickly as they were hitting the bar.

However be ready for well liquor if you are ordering a mixed drink. James the HookahMan takes care of hookah patrons rather quickly and is very passionate about his flavors and setups making for a very pleasant experience as he takes care of you all night. The only things that need work is the lack of a physical menu for drinks causing you to try and pick something out from 3 screens flashing the menu and specials seemingly at random (I ended up sitting there with my phone taking a picture of each screen before making my order). On a personal preference the murals are beautiful but I feel the private rooms might have served better as private sections not closed off from the DJ music and the rest of the lounge. Makes the place feel a bit tight. I enjoyed my time here and I look forward to frequenting this spot on Saturdays!

The signature cocktails were definitely mixologist curated, well balanced in flavor and alcohol, the espresso martini made with rum as opposed to vodka was probably one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had and I think they should all be made that way now. I visited on Valentine's evening so we did make reservations but I do believe reservations are a standard regardless of the day. My only disappointment was that you have a two hour table time limit which is fine. The problem came in as it was very apparent that a lot of reservations including ours were booked over a private party so we were, albeit politely, rushed to close out before our allotted time limit to accommodate the party reservation. I'm glad we were able to enjoy a good amount of time here but I really feel bad for the people who arrived after us as I'm sure felt the same pressure to leave as well.

Pablo's eyes lit up...a twist on the OG classic and he was fully on board. Drinks? On point. Hospitality? World-class. Even the water refills were smooth. Tequila lineup is strong too...Ocho, El Tesoro, Don Fulano, Fortaleza; all the right hitters. And if you haven't tried a Tequila Martinez yet, lock that in for your next lounge run. This was just a nightcap... but trust me...Houston hasn't seen the last of me at Aye Candy. See you again soon!

    I've been coming to NextDoor Bar & Lounge for years, and seeing the recent renovation completely…read moretransformed the space in the best way possible. I was impressed when I walked in. They managed to keep the same relaxed neighborhood vibe people love while giving it a much more modern, polished, and upscale feel. The updated design, lighting, TVs and overall atmosphere look incredible and make the space feel fresh without losing its personality. They still have the spinning drink wheel! The outdoor seating especially feels elevated now and makes for the perfect Houston brunch spot or night out. One of the best parts about NextDoor is that it's connected to Hungry's, which means you get full access to their menu while enjoying the lounge atmosphere. Being able to order everything from cocktails and appetizers to full meals while at a bar is a game changer. The food is consistently good, the drinks are strong (especially the frozen options) well-made, and everything comes out quickly. What keeps me coming back year after year is the consistency. The staff has always been welcoming and attentive, the crowd is chill, and it never feels overly pretentious or chaotic. It's one of those rare spots that works for everything, whether it's happy hour after work, date night, catching up with friends over drinks on the patio or a solo adventure. Love seeing a longtime Houston favorite continue to evolve while still delivering the same great experience that's kept me coming back for years. Definitely one of my go-to spots on Memorial Drive. My only suggestion is to tell the younger staff members to be conscious of their conversations while guest are dining nearby. I love people watching but I heard a lot of things. It appears Hungry's uses the bar area like a break/training room or to do other tasks like rolling utensils in napkins.

Both drinks were pretty good and surprisingly strong! There's a few games outside too like giant connect 4 and Jenga. There's lots of fans around to keep the area cool and comfortable even though we were outside in the Texas heat.

Kaila took care of us and her service was excellent, she was attentive, friendly, and offered some great recommendations. While the menu is somewhat limited, everything we ordered came out hot, fast, and really tasty. Everyone in our group enjoyed their burgers, and I especially loved the Brussels sprouts, shrimp salad, and the crab puffs. Parking can be a bit of a hassle in the area, but there is a parking garage adjacent to the restaurant which makes it manageable. Overall, it was a great birthday dinner and I'll definitely be returning.

The Brussel sprouts and crab hush puppies were great. The breakfast skillet, I could have done without. It had absolutely NO flavor. Luckily I asked for some sour cream and they were able to provide it. That's the only reason I was able to slightly enjoy the dish. The drinks. The mimosa was perfect. Hard to mess that up though right? I asked if they had any stouts and if so, if they could provide a sample. I'm so happy I asked for a sample and didn't just order the "one" stout they had. The beer was flat. So disappointing! Overall, the place was okay. I'd more than likely return for their drink happy hour, but it's a hard pass outside of that.
