    The reason I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars is because the service was exceptional. Our server's…read morename was Dequan and he was excellent. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the food. This was my first experience with Credence and the atmosphere was new, modern and a little noisy. The lunch gnocchi was my first experience with gnocchi (in particular cornmeal gnocchi) so I have nothing with which to compare; I would probably not have it again but it wasn't bad. I have had plenty of beet salads and this didn't make the top ten. The grilled tuna salad my husband ordered rated a 0 on a scale of 1-5. The tuna may have been grilled as advertised, but there was no evidence of it, and there was absolutely no taste to it. I would have expected there to be some seasoning, but again, no evidence. The green beans were so crunchy they might as well have been fresh-picked and the sauce over the snow peas was so tasteless, Ranch dressing would have been a huge improvement. I could only eat one, and I really like snow peas. Until they get a better chef, I will not be returning.

    Credence was such a good experience from beginning to end. The food was outstanding, the service…read morewas attentive without being overbearing, and our server gave genuinely great recommendations. The ambiance was beautiful too, and the speakeasy was such a fun bonus. The monkey bread was the perfect way to start ! Warm, soft, and dangerously easy to keep eating. The baked potato was probably one of my favorite sides; it was super creamy with this crusted layer that basically melted in your mouth. The NY Strip steak was perfectly seasoned and definitely lived up to expectations. The branzino was fresh and cooked well, but the seasoning was a little too subtle for me, so it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. I also wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage. Overall though, Credence absolutely delivered. Great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere, and plenty of dishes I'd come back for.

It was actually pretty quiet, and we were in and out without feeling rushed. Our waiter was super attentive and seemed to have quite a few tables, but he was on it the entire time! We got more than enough food, and the tomato soup was seriously delicious. Definitely wish they had a location closer to The Woodlands/Conroe because I'd be back more often!

It's double meat, i missed that but it was super juicy Loco moco is nothing like the traditional Hawaiian dish but still very good Fish was so crunch and juicy. Definitely coming back for that I didn't try the bison burger but several in the party enjoyed, one said needed salt The lumberjack tacos were reallllly good!! There was a little too much bread and less bacon/cheese for the combo but the tomato soup was so rich a delicious Cajun fries had way too much sour, assuming there was a lot of lemon in the seasoning, won't try again Bao was good. The kids loved. I've had better Candied bacon came out cold but still good but would have been better hot. Had a variety of desserts. Top pics for us was, cookies, s'mores brownie, cheesecake.
