From the elegant lounge dining seating, to the grandiose chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, this is a meal that feels special. The service was also top notch, with our waitress making sure we had what we needed. They also asked if it was a special occasion and made a note. The food was spectacular. I had the shrimp and lobster enchiladas and they were decadent and perfectly balanced. The cocktails were also tasty and refreshing. While the price point is high, in my opinion, it was worth it. They also bought a cute cotton candy dessert at the end for my friend's birthday. What really sold me, was how, when a torrential downpour enveloped the area, their staff personally escorted each guest with an umbrella to their valet driven car. Service that went above and beyond.

I went with a Caesar salad and the blackened seared scallops with creamed corn. My friend had the Wicked Tuna Poke, filet, and dessert. The scallops and creamed corn were SO good! The dish had a delicious smoky flavor, and everything was cooked perfectly. Service was great as well. My friend mentioned this is a good spot to sit at the bar during the week, but even around 4 PM the bar was already full, so we grabbed a booth instead. They also offer complimentary valet parking, which is always a plus. I was really happy with both the food and service. Next time I'm in Houston, I definitely want to come back and try the sushi!

Unfortunately, we were sat next to a large party with several loud children on tablets. Disrupts the fine dining experience. Food: Every table receives a complimentary dish of homemade popcorn that was delicious. Wish we could have had more! We went for restaurant week which seemed more fair pricing for the dishes we selected. See below for pictures and details! Overall, it was great service despite the noisy table neighbors. The food was okay, but nothing that has me itching to return. I would consider going back to try some other menu items, but it comes at a steep price compared to $55 for 3 courses!

The lobster was the star of the evening! There's something about a good seafood dish, a well made drink, and being able to sit at the bar and enjoy your own company that makes for a lovely night out. I also appreciate restaurants where you can have a full dining experience without necessarily needing a table or a special occasion. Sometimes you just want to pull up a barstool, order something delicious, and enjoy your evening. Definitely a nice option for a solo dinner, a casual date, or an evening out when you're in the mood to indulge a little. And yes, I'm always here for a restaurant that makes dining at the bar feel like an experience of its own. Good seafood and a cocktail will get me every time!

You can also street park. I had dined at Savoir a few times before for brunch and dinner. I like that Patton's is an intimate speakeasy steakhouse tucked at the back. You wind your way past the kitchen to an area that's dimly lit with low lighting and candles. We were seated at a cute area near the bar that looked like they transformed bookshelves into seating with a small round table in between. Very cozy. I ordered the filet with truffle butter, mashed potatoes, and a side of creamed corn. All of the proportions were full size for sharing. I wish we ordered something different compared to both of us getting mashed potatoes. Next time maybe! The filet cooked medium wasn't as tender to cut through with what seemed like a butter knife. Unlike other places, I wasn't given a real steak knife. I thought the truffle butter had a bit of sweetness to it, which I didn't like. The mashed potatoes were great, and the creamed corn was good. It wasn't anything special and tasted similar to Rudy's creamed corn. I enjoyed the crab cake with salad and the creme brulee (not on HRW menu but upgraded for $3). I had a bite of the chocolate cake which was good and wasn't too rich. The strawberries & cream cocktail was my favorite, so I had two. Service was great, and we were regularly checked on. Leftovers are boxed for you and placed in a handled bag to-go. I loved the ambiance, and while I wasn't entirely blown away by the food, it still would be a nice place for an intimate date night or evening with friends.

The private space was perfect for our group and allowed us to eat, have wine and cocktails, and actually enjoy our book discussion without competing with the noise of the rest of the restaurant. The service was exceptional, and we were very well taken care of throughout our meeting. I had the breakfast quesadilla with fries. I'd probably give my meal about a 7/10 because the quesadilla was a little dry for my taste, but the overall experience more than made up for it. Between the service, atmosphere, private room, drinks, and great company, we had a wonderful afternoon. I would definitely consider Ouisie's Table again for another book club meeting or small gathering.

From…read morethe planning process through the final moments of our brunch, the staff provided an exceptional experience. We were seated in the Wine Cellar, which was intimate, elegant, and spacious enough for our group. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Every entrée arrived correctly prepared and piping hot--which is impressive when serving an entire room at once. Yassine and Adam were attentive, accommodating, and treated my celebration as though it were the only event happening in the restaurant. In reality, they were managing several other parties, but we never felt overlooked or rushed. Our head server, David, deserves special recognition. He went above and beyond for every woman in the room and made sure each guest felt welcomed and well cared for. His professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness helped make the afternoon especially memorable. Ouisie's Table is truly a hidden gem. The beautiful atmosphere, excellent food, thoughtful presentation, and outstanding service made my Emerald Affair everything I hoped it would be. I have no complaints and will absolutely return!

Everything we ordered, from the drinks to the desserts, was expertly prepared and delicious. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive and seemed to know exactly what we needed throughout the meal. He was knowledgeable when discussing menu options and specials, offered helpful recommendations, kept our drinks refreshed, and paid close attention to every detail that made the experience exceptional. The atmosphere was exactly what we expected from Brenner's...elegant, comfortable, and perfect for a memorable dining experience. We enjoyed the evening so much that we hardly took any pictures of the food. In fact, everything looked and tasted so good that snapping photos before digging in completely slipped our minds! The Surf and Turf appetizer was a fantastic start to the meal, and the Snake River filet and lobster tail were cooked to perfection. We finished with the key lime pie and other desserts, which was the perfect ending to an incredible dining experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and look forward to returning.

The eggrolls were sensational and it was paired with this sauce that was chefs kiss. The steak was full blown "tenderism" literally melted in your mouth food. The issue was there was 5his big clunk of butter basically half the size of the steak on top which made the portion size ehhh a the carrots were burnt and lacked flavor. Now my favorite desert is bread pudding, this was one of the flavorless bread puddings I've ever had. I would not recommend that or consume it again. Service was great. However the overall aesthetic of the restaurant was disappointing. I had a reservation and was seated right in front of the swinging door for the kitchen. It really was off putting when it comes to enjoying the meals because there was always someone walking by me.

This restaurant is in a building that was occupied by "Houston's" some years ago. The ambience is still the same.
