This was our first time visiting Leightons since they opened the new restaurant. We had…read morereservations but still had to wait while they seated three parties who arrived before us. The downstairs area was pretty crowded, so we ended up being seated upstairs. They had music playing, which created a nice vibe. Our waitress was great, very friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed both the food and drinks. A few things I wasn't too thrilled about. Parking was a hassle. I ended up parking down the street and didn't realize they offered valet parking until we were leaving. We were also told there was a 90-minute limit on our table, which I thought was a little much considering it took about 15 minutes to be seated and another 20+ minutes for our food to arrive. It's a good thing no one brought up the time limit again because I definitely would have had something to say about that! Another thing is that water isn't free. You must purchase a large bottle, and they automatically add an 18% gratuity to the bill. Overall, despite those few things, we had a good experience. The service was great, the food and drinks were good, and we enjoyed ourselves. Would I go back? Absolutely! Now that I know what to expect, I'll be better prepared next time.

Fuad's was a very fun, lively experience!

My best friend and I didn't have a…read morereservation on a very busy Sunday afternoon, but the hostess went out of her way to arrange seating for us near the bar area and made sure we were comfortable with the seating since it was very crowded and busy. Our server was Tiana, who was working in the bar area and serving tables was fabulous. We expected a lengthy wait, however Tiana took our orders quickly and let us know there would be a slight wait due to the crowd. She came back to our tables regularly to update us on the status of our orders, and to make sure we were ok. The music and atmosphere was great, so we enjoyed our time laughing and talking until our food arrived. Tiana is a rockstar and was friendly, personable, and very attentive. (OMG THE FOOD)... I had beef tips, candied yams and Mac & Cheese and everything was delicious, and the presentation was fabulous. It was seasoned to perfection and well worth the wait. I'll definitely be dining here again.

I enjoyed my visit and would absolutely come back to try more of the menu!

Theirs a new owner I believe starting this year, or maybe a little before.

We were on time for a 7PM reservation and seated quickly in a nearly empty restaurant playing loud night club music. The table for four was set for two.. we were handed menus titled "late night menu" featuring basically Applebees snacks.. sliders, steak bites, chicken wings, catfish nuggets.. what???? We ordered some cocktails and waited. Two different waiters who were not communicating came to our table. We asked where the regular food menu was and were advised management had changed and that was the only food they had. Meanwhile people behind us were getting hookah... we ordered our 'snacks' then asked for a wine list.. no wine list, he just pointed at some bottles at the bar then brought two bottles as our choices.. basically off the shelves at Walgreens wine. No thanks. We waited almost an hour for food then noticed the table across being served steaks and sides... then our food came and was disgustingly poor. The slider had bread that looked mashed! We had the waiter tell us we should have asked for a different menu when we confronted them with the other tables food options. Finally the manager came, apologized half interested and asked how he could me it right. He couldn't.. we left, didn't have to pay obviously and went to have dinner at Toca Madera, a still descent restaurant experience! Don't waste your time at Ciel.. it's time has expired on the Houston food scene

Main course: ribeye steak wig little potatoes. Desserts: rum cake and carrot cake The shrimp were overcooked and dry; but that was the only disappointment. Everything else was fine. This restaurant is in a building that was occupied by "Houston's" some years ago. The ambience is still the same.

My husband and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary at Doves Restaurant in downtown Houston,…read moreand the experience was absolutely A+ from beginning to end! It honestly felt like the entire restaurant was reserved just for us that evening, which made our anniversary dinner feel even more intimate and special. The ambiance was beautiful and dark, dim lighting with such an elegant and relaxing vibe that instantly set the tone for a perfect date night. Whether you're planning a romantic evening, girls' night, or even just drinks with friends, this spot definitely creates the perfect atmosphere. We also heard they have live bands at times, which would make the experience even more amazing. We started the night with a bottle of red wine ("Jam Jar) I Love it! along with an Old Fashioned and a smoky Old Fashioned, both crafted perfectly. For appetizers, we had the greens and collard greens along with the turkey eggrolls, and they were absolutely delicious. For dinner, I enjoyed the steak with a loaded potato and salad, and every bite was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. My husband truly enjoyed his meal as well. We even ordered the oxtail macaroni and cheese to-go, and it did not disappoint! A special shoutout to our waiter, Javon, who was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cool throughout the evening. He made sure we had everything we needed and helped make our anniversary dinner even more memorable. The staff even surprised us by serenading us for our anniversary with sparklers and red velvet cake, which was such a beautiful and thoughtful touch that made the night feel extra special and unforgettable. Overall, this was an amazing dining experience, and we will definitely be back again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a classy Houston date night spot with great food, drinks, ambiance, and excellent service!
