From my server to my drink to the SALMON, everything about this experience was immaculate! The salmon was easily the star of my meal. It was full of flavor and paired with a Creole piperade that sat between the salmon and added so much depth to every bite. There were also these tiny tomatoes that honestly looked like little red chocolate chips! They were such a cute and unexpected detail, and the entire plate was beautifully presented. What impressed me most was how much flavor was packed into everything. Nothing about the dish felt basic or like an afterthought. The different flavors and textures worked so well together, and I enjoyed every bite of that salmon. The service made the experience even better. My waiter, Nay, was an absolute sweetheart and provided some of the kindest service I've received in a while. Having a server who is genuinely warm, attentive, and welcoming can completely elevate a dining experience, and Nay did exactly that. The atmosphere was also great, friendly, comfortable, and inviting. Between the delicious drink, flavorful salmon, beautiful presentation, and exceptional service from Nay, I left extremely satisfied. This was one of those dining experiences where everything came together perfectly, and I would absolutely return!
A hull of nothing. The place looks great. The staff is nice and friendly. But otherwise, the food is pretty average, especially for the cost. I had the Laura sandwich, and the salmon was just a blob in the middle, and the egg felt unnecessary, and you've been left out for my preference. Overall, an average spot.
Breakfast today at Hull & Oak during our stay the The Laura Hotel. The restaurant is a cute little space on the second floor of the hotel. This morning we got the croissant breakfast sandwich, two eggs your way, yogurt parfait and a side of fruit. Our waitress Tanisha was the sweetest. She knew we were here celebrating love and her and the restaurant manager sent over a bottle of champagne which made for a sweet little treat. We felt very special and had the best time celebrating this morning. The food was very tasty and satisfied the brunch craving. Chef Ricardo definitely knows what he's doing. We loved having a restaurant that was so convenient and tasty during our stay. Definitely couldn't have better things to say about our experience at breakfast, we will definitely be back!
Had an amazing brunch at Hull & Oak in Houston! The atmosphere was stylish, vibrant, and perfect for a laid-back brunch outing. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, with great flavors that really stood out. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. If you're in Houston and looking for a great brunch spot with good vibes and tasty food, Hull & Oak is definitely worth checking out!
Experience 1000/10 Waiter was very attentive and lots of knowledge about the menu The breakfast was amaaazing!!!! The ambiance was 1000/10 So welcoming and comforting, peace and calm Will definitely be back for brunch -
This place is located inside of the hotel on the 2nd floor. We made reservations but you don't really need to. It is very nice inside. We sat in a booth. Our server was very accommodating. For brunch I got the shrimp and grits which were delicious & filling. I also ordered a side of bacon. The mimosas are great too. I would say it is more on the expensive side of brunch, but totally worth it.
I dined here two days in a row. The food was all right, but the service was poor and it didn't look like a single person there wanted to be there. This is a captive restaurant, but you should at least nail it on either food or the service. I left my table as briefly as one could to wash my hands after ordering. It should've been obvious what was going on since I just ordered, but to be safe, I left my napkin over the back of my chair to more clearly communicate that I would return. When I returned 1 minute later, my place was cleared and, apparently, they also cleared my order since the waitress had no idea to which table it belonged when it was made. After adding a tip to the check and signing it, I noticed a tip had already been added. Why? I've had about 600 nights at Marriott properties, and have never had a tip auto-added for a party of one. Curiously, the second morning I dined, a tip wasn't automatically applied. As I left the restaurant, the host at the stand, who did not appear to be engaged with anyone or anything, successfully ignored me. The second morning the hostess sat me at a bench whose food debris hadn't been wiped from the last party. I wiped the food off with my hands (yuk). She saw but didn't seem to care. Very promptly after taking my order, she left me the check. I appreciate that so it doesn't waste my time at the end, so I promptly signed the check and placed it hanging over the other side of the table to clearly communicate that it was taken care of. It's remained there the entire meal. Even when my food was served, it was still left there. During my meal, another server brought me a tea pot, which I didn't order. She was uncertain if it belonged to me so she silently stared at me with the teapot. I think she was trying to communicate, "does this belong to you?" She should be using her words so I didn't say anything. presuming she would. After too awkward of a silence I said, "that's not my tea." She grunted (or muttered a single unintelligible syllable) and served it to another table. Not only does it seem like none of the staff received service training, but not a single team member did anything that most restaurants do to make someone feel welcome or want to return. As a platinum, I had a breakfast voucher for my third morning, but gave it to a friend as I went elsewhere for breakfast.
We stopped by Hull & Oak for breakfast after arriving early for a work trip, and it was a great start to the day. The menu looked fantastic and the food did not disappoint -- the Peaches & Cream Waffles were the perfect balance of sweet and savory. My coworkers also loved their meals. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. The decor was also super nice and aesthetic. Highly recommend for a delicious breakfast if you're staying at The Laura Hotel.
Visited for a Valentines Day dinner and the food was nice. I loved the edition of the live musician singing love songs. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We opted to sit within the bar area, which was an open space. The crab cake was good. My favorite cocktail was the Garden of Eden.
My husband and I came here for brunch while we were visiting Houston. The place was super cute! Nanyamka was our server and she was so sweet and accommodating. She answered my questions and made a recommendation for us to get the biscuits and gravy, which is a staple breakfast for us. We really enjoyed it! I also got an oat chai latte which was solid--a bit on the sweet side, but I'd get it again. Would definitely come back here for a standard breakfast.
Sunday downtown Houston brunching with my fav!!!! I saw this place on TikTok and saved it in hopes I'd get the chance to go one day and today was the day. Reservations are recommended as the place is small. We were seated immediately and given a menu. The brunch menu was small but the choices were great. Our waitress was amazing and the atmosphere was very inviting. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

H&O is located inside The Laura Hotel. For the OG HTX Elites, this hotel used to be the Hotel Alessandra where we had a YEE years ago. You can enter from the street level or from the Greenstreet Complex on the 2nd floor. The restaurant is located on the second floor next to the reception area. When I walked up to the host stand, they asked me to go to the hotel bar area to order. The bar was pretty busy. The bar manager, Joe was bartending and he was doing his best to keep up with the drink orders. There were a few servers wandering around, but it appeared they were short staffed. Joe did apologize for the slow service which we appreciated. Drinks: Garden of Eden - I really enjoyed this cocktail because of the cucumber. It was very refreshing! Sip Pink - It was good, but sweeter than the Garden of Eden. Basil Leaf Us Hanging - My bff ordered this mocktail and she liked it. Food: Deviled Eggs - Spectacular! I loved the black truffles. The spicy peppers were a bit too hot, but the flavors complimented each other well. Brussels Sprouts - They had a nice char and were tasty. Seared Salmon Filet - This dish was good. It came with mashed potatoes and a Creole piperade. Collard Greens - Nice flavor and the portion was huge! We ordered two bowls because the server said the bowl was small, but one portion would have been plenty. Jambalaya Rice - My bff ordered this, but I didn't try any. On my second visit, we went straight to the hotel bar. Sandy was our server but other employees checked on us too. Drinks: Velvet Dream - This drink reminded me of a lavender flavored Clover Club. It was good. Basil Leaf us Hanging - My friend ordered this with mint instead of basil, however it looked different from the one that my bestie ordered. When I looked at the receipt, I noticed that it said Burning Bush instead of Basil Leaf Us Hanging. At any rate, my friend enjoyed her mocktail. Food: Deviled Eggs - I ordered them again because I loved them so much! My friend enjoyed them too. Truffle Fries - Delicious and not too crispy. I've added H&O to my downtown dining rotation. The food and beverages are good and it's near some of the venues that I frequent. read more

Hull & Oak (bar side) gave us a whole vibe for Saturday night. We decided to stay in because of the weather and traffic--and honestly, it was the right move. There was a live guitarist, cozy lounge seating, and beautiful views of downtown through the windows. The drinks were solid, and our bartender Brittany was excellent--attentive, friendly, and consistent. Food was good: The shrimp skillet was flavorful (my partner ordered it again) I had the smash burger--good, but definitely a lot of food (two patties caught me off guard) They did miss my request to leave off the spicy relish, though it didn't ruin the dish The biggest issue was the gnats/fruit flies in the lounge area. We had to constantly fan our food to keep them away, which was disappointing, especially for a hotel with such an upscale feel. Overall: Great vibe, strong service, good food--but definitely room for improvement on cleanliness and attention to detail. read more

Elizebeth was attentive to my needs throughout my visit. She welcomed me and she was prompt in getting my order in. She checked in with me regularly and presented desert options to me ahead of time to think about. She is very nice and pleasant to her guests. The bar area has a welcoming ambiance which many other guests were enjoying too. Being that this hotel is surrounded by corporate offices, most food places shut down by the time I got back so it was very convenient for me to get dinner here. Dinner options I have tried were the Southern Mac & Cheese and the Seared Salmon Fillet and both were delicious. I also enjoyed their fine wine selection. read more

Stumbled in here on a weekday for brunch/lunch and didn't regret it one bit!!! They had an amazing 3-course lunch special: an appetizer, entree and dessert for $30. I will say, for some of the particular items, portions are small, but the quality of the food was top tier for the price. My friend was blown away by the Brussel sprouts - I had the jerk wings, burger and peach cobbler pie I believe, and left more than satisfied. Would recommend for lunch. Great service as well! read more
