I came here to celebrate my birthday and had a great time! There is outside seating but the inside is very small and cozy. It is definitely recommended to make reservations. We ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer and one of the waiters was very kind and let my husband try some of the sauces to make sure he would like it. He also let us try a sample of the wine we ordered. I ordered the ribs and grits with roasted vegetables and I really enjoyed it. My husband had the red fish and it was a bit too fishy for our taste. We also had the homemade strawberry cake and it was delicious! I would definitely come back again! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner and truth be told, I had never heard of this place. If you look up the definition of a cozy restaurant, this place fits the description. It is tiny and packed tight inside, but they do have patio seating as well. Parking is very limited, but you can find street parking nearby. Reservations are highly recommended but walk ins are welcome. We had a few people taking care of us that night and they were all great. I was between a few items and they were very helpful in steering me in the right direction. We started off with a few bottles of wine to get the night started. From what I understand, their wine list is one of the things they are known for. Your only other option for an adult beverage is limited options of canned or bottled beers. I didn't really have a say in the wine we shared, but what we had was delicious and paired nicely with the items we ordered. For starters, we went with the highly recommended bread service. Get this! This bread was so good. I doubt they make it as ordered, but it came out like it was fresh out of the oven. It was a nice crusty bread with a fluffy interior served on a cutting board with a huge smear of miso butter. We then went with the Crispy Cauliflower which was one of my favorite dishes of the night. It was smothered in a gochujang aioli and reminded me of a general tso chicken or something. Very good. Thai Chili Rubs was next and these were so good as well. I'm a sucker for all the Asian flavor profiles and this hit that. For my entree, I ended up with the Pork Chop w/ Chutney. This was a huge chop on a layer of apple sauce and a wonderful chutney that contrasted the sweet sauce. Every layer worked well together. I will say the pork chop was just slightly over cooked, in some parts. It also came with green beans which was cooked just right. No room for dessert as we had another party to head to. Overall, I'm glad my friends picked this spot for their birthday celebration. I am now in the know about this place and will consider coming back in the future. read more

Omg this place is amazing! Everything we ate was phenomenal! I happened upon this place driving by and gave it a try! Service is community oriented in that anyone can serve you. You don't necessarily have a dedicated server. I love that they offer either sparkling water or regular! Im a sparkling water girlie. Any way. We ordered the bread euth miso butter tasty! And the cucumber & tomato salad was my god today so so so good! It is shareable size. I ordered the glazed salmon with a pesto sauce. Wow perfection. It was so good and I cleared my plate so quick the waiter was like did you get your entree yet? Looool It was that good! They offer wine and beverages. I didn't try any but I will on my next visit because the food was top notch! read more

Located off of T.C. Jester in the Heights, Elliot's Table is the perfect neighborhood restaurant for dinner service. This New American restaurant is warm, cozy, has a lots of charms, and the outdoor patio added the relaxed and casual vibe. The staffs are friendly and personal. Chef-owner Elliot Roddy is pretty hands-on. We saw him while having dinner. While there's no cocktails, the wine menu is extensive and there are some beer options. The food is excellent, and the portion is more than enough to share family style. We sampled couple appetizers and only had enough room to share one main dish. Thai Chili Ribs added sprouts (4.5/5), Grilled Portuguese Octopus (5/5), Drunken Mussels (4/5), cucumber& tomato salad (4/5), cheddar burger with hand cut fries (4.5/5). This is definitely one of our favorites in the neighborhood and I'd highly recommend! P.S. they only open Wed-Sat for dinner service and it's best to call ahead and make a reservation. read more

One of our favorite restaurants; it's the best kind of neighborhood restaurant but also upscale and casual enough at the same time. Located in Timbergrove Heights area on T C Jester. We saw Chef Elliot there at dinner service tonight. The staff are top notch. The food is quality, cooked well, and are a good portion size for family style sharing. We got a few appetizers to share; mussels (4/5), Thai ribs (5/5), octopus (4.5/5), and cucumber salad (4/5). We split a very solid cheddar burger with fries (4/5). The highlights are the brussell sprouts for me, and the overall appetizer selection is hard to go wrong. read more

I came here for my birthday recently and thought the service and ambiance were both outstanding! I did think the prices were a little steep on some items. They have a great steak night deal for 30 dollars! We got the Gorgonzola Mac and cheese for an appetizer and it was really good. I thought it would be a good idea to add an extra flavor to counter the strong cheese flavor. If you want chicken or shrimp added it is an extra 9 dollar charge. I got the seafood pasta for my entree which was delicious! There were large prawns and crab meat inside with a creole pasta sauce which was very flavorful. It would have also been nice if they did something extra like a birthday dessert was given. Overall, I will likely come back here again! read more

The food is fantastic the service was incredible everybody there was so nice and accommodating, the thai chili ribs had right amount of seasoning , the pork chop dish i absolutely devoured lmao it was very tender , the chimichurri steak could've been a little more seasoned and tender but giving it a 5 star because of service and attention to detail, and the ambiance was cozy with dim lighting. read more

Elliott's Table is one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. The food is consistently great, but what really keeps us coming back is the service. The staff gets to know you and makes you feel at home every time you walk in. We literally eat here about once a week because it's so comfortable and welcoming. The steaks are excellent, and the pork chop is absolutely incredible. They also have a great wine list that's affordable and well-curated. The rotating cakes are always delicious and a fun reason to save room for dessert. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing food, great service, and a true neighborhood spot. read more

What a delicious little bistro! We did an early Galentine's dinner there last night and loved every minute of our experience. We started with wine, bread service and the crispy brussel sprouts, and then some of us split our mains because the portions are large. Those who didn't all went home with leftovers. My girlfriend and I split the wedge salad (was dressed perfectly) and the cod served a top a bed of crab and veggies (roasted okra, carrots, green beans). Loved this dish. Know that they charge $6 to split plates (they kindly told us in advance). And parking is tight, but there's some street parking, and we were also told we could park in front of the back building. 5 stars. Looking forward to another visit. read more

Service was good, well the server didn't let us try our food before asking if it was good. Atmosphere was good. Issue was the food. My girlfriend got the beef stroganoff and it tasted like hamburger helper except even less flavorful? Also it was cold like it was microwaved? Ate a few bites of it and she threw it out. I got grits and shrimp, it was ok, idk why they don't remove the heads of the shrimp for you? Cheese grits didn't taste like grits at all but more like sweet potato. Not bad food just strange. Overall very expensive for bad food idk why its rated so high read more

This place is so quaint yet upscale. The inside is very small, so I recommend calling for reservations, although we got in quickly when we arrived early. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The chef/owner was walking around greeting customers, I appreciate that. My son ordered a steak, he was very pleased. I tried a bite as well. I am not a steak fan so I cannot rate but it had a crisp outside and tender inside, flavor was good. I ordered the chili ribs from the shareable menu. I couldn't decide between that and the cucumber tomato salad so i ordered that to go. I'll rate tomorrow :-) The ribs were good, very smoky with a hint of spice and sweet. I don't usually eat mushrooms but i tried the ones served with the dish and they were fantastic The wine selection was great. They also have a select dessert menu. Turns out they were sold out so it must've been good. I saw the staff serve the last slice of pecan spice cake, it looked delicious. This place has several articles rated "best" in local magazines/papers. I would like to come back and try those dishes. They (articles) are listed on the website and framed on the walls of the establishment. I truly enjoyed my evening at Elliot's and look forward to returning. read more

The appetizers, mussels and octopus, stole the show. The sauce of the mussels was so good- I could have the soup alone as a meal. The steak was a good value but not my favorite. My guess it was 12-16 oz but it had a lot of silver skin making jt hard to eat. I also thought it had WAY too much butter where I couldn't taste the meat. The cook on it was off, ordered medium rare and came out rare. Likely will come back for the appetizers! read more

My husband saw this place on instagram and decided we should try it. We pulled into the parking lot which was completely full so I called to see where to park and they said down the street by the warehouses. Didn't seem very safe parking our nice car so far from the restaurant. We had reservations and were seated right away. The interior is very small and they had the servers answering calls and seating people. The service was slow, but they were all very nice. We ordered the mussels as our appetizer. They were delicious with great flavors. We then ordered the duck and the seafood pasta. Both dishes were very disappointing. My husband and I had a few bites of each and just decided we couldn't eat it, the pasta tasted liked burn garlic and the taste was so overpowering that I just couldn't eat more than 2-3 bites. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

All the service here was impeccable. Friday night dinner on the patio was a treat. The restaurant definitely ramps up as the night progresses so i'm glad I was able to snag a table at 6:30.

Been meaning to try this cozy date spot for a while! It got pretty crowded during prime time but we were able to snag a table without wait when we arrived around 5-6pm. The servers were pleasant and warm, perfectly complementing the ambiance of the restaurant. The mussels are a MUST! The bucket comes with 4 pieces of savory toast and some of the fattest mussels I've ever seen, bathed in a delicious spicy seafood sauce. Our next favorite dish was the duck! The meat was perfectly cooked - slightly rare on the inside, crispy on the outside, and paired really well with the sweet potato spread it came with. We ordered the Gorgonzola Brussels spouts by recommendation but felt like the flavors were too strong with the sauce and blue cheese. Would probably pass on this dish next time, but I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other main items! read more

We finally got to eat here for the first time since moving to the area. They're usually always booked for dinner but we were able to get a table last night. For our apps, we got the octopus and the bread board. The octopus was perfectly cooked and the bread board sit the miso butter. Both do the apps were fantastic! The octopus was cooked perfectly and the slaw that was served with it complemented it well. The sourdough bread was freshly baked and I scraped up all the butter with the bread. The entrees in our opinion were ok. We liked the apps better. We got the steak and the pork chop. The pork chop had a nice crust to it, but it was dry. The steak was good but we asked for medium rare and it was overcooked. The veggies and the mashed potatoes were very good though. We ended the meal with a slice of cake and I would save space for dessert! We will be back but won't get the same entrees. Service was great and the restaurant had a very chill vibe. read more

I have yet to be impressed the way this place impressed! The service from the moment we walked in, until we walked out that door was top notch. Not that fake service you get at an expensive restaurant, but genuine how can we make this experience the best we can for you. The ambiance of the place gave backyard vibes, and they treated you like you were family. The food.... Oh the food. The burger was something else! If you're a burger person, you know which tomatoes and lettuce and onions you enjoy. This had the whole package. The steak and mashed potatoes were delightful, as well as the pork chops! The wine pairing chosen was a light and perfect wine. They truly couldn't have given us a better night out! 10/10 read more

This place is a true hidden gem that I almost hate to share with you all, but it's too good not to. First, let's get the small stuff out of the way--though honestly, it's all just nitpicking when compared to the greatness of this restaurant. There are no online reservations, but that just adds to the charm. Parking is a bit tricky; it's a small lot, so I'd recommend taking an Uber or having a friend drop you off to save the stress. And yes, there's a gas station next door--but no, it won't ruin your experience. Now, let's talk about what really matters--the positives. This place is a neighborhood treasure. The ingredients are so fresh and grown on-site or at their other location. The owner is hands-on, working right alongside the amazing staff, creating an atmosphere that's both high-end and welcoming. Service is impeccable--quick, friendly, and personal, but with a relaxed vibe that makes you feel right at home. The wine list is impressive, though mostly by the bottle. We sat outside on a perfect evening, with heaters and little flames adding a cozy touch to the ambiance. Absolutely perfect. The waitstaff works together seamlessly, so you get the whole team's attention without ever having to wait. Our server (who we absolutely adored but I can't recall his name) even showed us photos of the entrees to help us decide. He recommended the cucumber and tomato salad and the chimichurri steak, and even though I'm not a fan of cucumbers or tomatoes, we trusted him--and I'm so glad we did! The salad was bursting with flavors that were unexpectedly delicious and perfectly balanced. When we couldn't finish it, they immediately boxed it up so we could make room for the steak. We swapped the roasted veggies for asparagus, and even though it might not have been as beautifully plated dish, it was packed with flavor. Although I wouldn't really call it a steak (steaks in my opinion stand alone, with no sauces or condiments, but I was raised on a cattle ranch), it was an entree masterclass in delicious, layered tastes. As the night came to a close, we declined dessert, but our server left the bill face down and encouraged us to stay as long as we liked. That simple gesture spoke volumes about the level of care and service they provide. In short, you can't leave here disappointed. The owner is actively involved (so if you have a problem, politely speak up and I have no doubt it will be properly addressed), and the staff is trained to provide top-notch service. I'm hoping they rotate the menu throughout the year, but no matter what you order, you can't go wrong. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Ate at Elliot's Table with friends on Thursday night. Had driven by the restaurant for a few years, had it in my to dine list. Ambience and vibe is fun in a loud music sort of way. Service was fantastic as was the Brussels Sprouts appetizer(probably the best Brussels sprouts ever had). For dinner all of us had the Cod (see below). It was super yummy and cooked to perfection. Taste was just perfectly spiced. The asparagus was nice, crunchy and just the right amount of olive oil. Ambience is a bit loud (music) making a little difficult to talk, but fine. The only disappointment was the dessert. None of us really eat desserts (for health reasons), but we wanted to keep chatting so we ordered. It was a beautiful slice of chocolate cake, but oh so dry. This was disappointing after great meal. Not sure why they would serve this cake, like a three day old cake from Kroger or HEB. read more

Been coming to Elliot's table for the last couple years since I moved into the neighborhood and literally never disappoints. Food, service, ambiance.... This place has it all. Literally a must try in my opinion. I would fight a war for Elliot and his table. Recommendations: brussel sprouts, octopus, chicken parm (pictured), black and blue burger. The picture of the chicken parm doesn't do this dish justice because I just about had to lick the sauce off the plate it was so good. read more

I can't believe I am just trying this place. We came by on a Friday night and were able to get seated right away. They have a very cute patio to sit outside.

Service was excellent. Music a little too loud. Wear a light jacket if you get chilled easily. I got the Romesco Cod- the fish was excellent, but it was drenched and smothered in a sauce With some veggies. Also ordered the steak night special which was cooked au poivre . Again , with a sauce. The key lime dessert was tasty but the crust was crumbly. This with a glass of wine and tea was $140! read more

Had a most outstanding meal at Elliot's Table with last week. The special was a smoked pork chop with mashed potatoes and green beans. Loved the pickled onions on top of the pork chop. They added a level of refinement to the dish. I will also note that the wine selection was quite good. We have already re-booked to return in May. read more

Disclosure: i am one of of the few millennials who is t technologically savant but I made an account just for this review. I have been a guest of Elliot's for 5 years. I came here for the first time for a first date back in my senior year of college. To be concise; I was treated like royalty, between the food, the atmosphere, and the service I felt like the Queen of England. I've spent the last 5 years treating every birthday, every guest in town, and every special occasion at Elliot's and every time, without fail, they have risen above expectations. To be fair, my only criticism of this stellar establishment is that it is not open every day. But personally, I suppose that's a good thing otherwise I'd be filling for bankruptcy. read more

Seth met us warmly and offered us the option of dining inside or outside. We chose outside and it was super cute, simple yet classy. He and Albert checked on us frequently to be sure we had everything we needed. The food....amazing. The octopus and coleslaw were so unique and it may be these best octopus I ever had. We also had the lamb chops which were tasty along with the spinach and mashed potatoes. Seth suggested the carrot cake they had special from a local baker. At this point we trusted Seth completely. We ordered it and it did not disappoint. Super moist. Not overly sweet. Excellent. Will definitely be going back again and again. We didn't order wine but noticed that Albert was going above and beyond to ensure the folks at the next table had the perfect pairing for their meal. read more

Good was great and had a lot of fun with our 2 waiters who gave us wonderful service and the best recommendations.

We had the best dining experience in such a long time. We wish we lived closer!! The food is beyond delicious. So fresh & filling. The service is next to none. They were SO accommodating and made me feel right at home. I do not know their names but they were just wonderful. I should've gotten their names.

A 5-star+ experience! Cute little restaurant right off TC Jester. When I visit new cities I always try to find the local restaurants tourists wouldn't know about. This is that restaurant for Houston. It feels like the place to take out of town guests who want a delicious meal in the city without feeling like they are in the city. We felt very welcome here and Chef Elliott was actually the one who showed us to our table. PS: start with the Drunken Mussels appetizer. Delicious! read more

Finally made it to this cute place after moving to the neighborhood over 2 yrs ago. We walked in on a Saturday evening and was able to get a table without a reservation, but this place is 'boutique' and has limited tables, so I suggest making a reservation or calling ahead. Service was excellent from the moment we arrived. Our waiter offered several wine suggestions, in which we opted for a bottle. The menu was very diverse... we went with the waiter recommendations. The cucumber and tomato salad was AMAZING! Nothing like I would have guessed. Very large portion, so get it to share amongst 2-3ppl. My fiancée had the crab fettuccine, which he loved and nearly licked his plate. I had the stead dinner which was a healthy portion that I barely ate half of. Great flavor! Highly recommend, especially for an intimate date night or wine dinner date with a friend! read more
