    Located on 3rd floor of the Shops at Houston Center, this place is my go to healthy option for work day lunches. Their ingredients are fresh and the flavor combinations are great. There are no bad choices on the menu, but my personal favorite is the Alamo. Their service is pretty quick, but there is normally a line during lunch hour. You can order ahead on their website to save you some time.

    My favorite spot for a salad bowl! It is located downtown in The Park Shops, so it's easily accessible from the tunnel. What makes Leaf & Grain stand out is the consistent quality - it is delicious every time. My usual order is the MFH Veggie Boost, which comes with shredded kale, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, roasted broccoli, parmesan, roasted pepitas, and dried cranberries, and it's served with the citrus vinaigrette. The only modification I typically make is adding chicken, but other than that it's perfect exactly as it comes. I have also tried adding the falafel which is good as well. They do a great job at giving a good amount of toppings vs. just filling the bowl with kale/the base and having a few things sprinkled on top. If you're making your own, the roasted sweet potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, and dried cranberries are especially good. I highly recommend coming by the next time you're looking for a high quality salad!

    I really like Leaf & Grain, but our office ordered their sandwich box lunches and their Turkey sandwich literally had one slice of Turkey. Come on, L & G...I'm sure at $15 per box, you can afford to put in another slice. 5x more bread than meat. Disappointed.

    No, thank you for your service, bag

    You can't compare this joint to a Salata and avoid insulting Salata - the food quality and customer service experience here beats every Salata ever from every single location they ever have had and ever will have. That's why there is such a line here! Nobody goes to Salata on the third floor of the Park Shops with this as an option on the fourth floor. The 44 Farms Steak Salad caught my eye on the menu long ago (Eric C.'s four star review mentions steak added to a bowl which made me look further into the menu) but the line shooting out the door into the Park Shops scared me off, until finally the one day a week I get to have lunch away from my desk coincided with a day it was pouring outside so I was limited to tunnel or skybridge accessibles - and this fit the bill with a salad type experience, since my suit was starting to feel a bit tight around the tequila protector regions, but I still wanted steak flavours to season and moisten the rabbit food part of the salad. I had a long time wait in line since the line had wrapped along the wall and out the front of the store when I briskly sashayed over and joined it. So with my time in line I thought about other options on the menu besides the 44 Farms Steak Salad. Charging 75 cents extra for blue cheese as an add on to a Cobb salad that is already $10.25 sans blue cheese? Thank u, next. The steak salad meanwhile came with blue cheese, one of the many fine cheeses the gentlesir favours in his soyboy salads apart from the Armenian string cheese only available at the Phoenicia salad bar. Elisa was sweet once it was finally my time to shine/order. I had been there at the head of the line for a few minutes already while everyone else was busy making other bowls or whatev. She changed her gloves and swooped in to make the magick happen. Sweet and polite always goes a long way in lunch counter service, especially determining which ones you would visit again like this one, and which one you still have a grudge against twelve years on like Doozo. While you can customize salad/bowls as you see fit, they also have the pre-set ones like the Cobb and the steak salad. They also recommend the light or the medium portion of salad dressing you can request, and they only break down calorie count on the pre-set menu items with either light or medium dose of sauce. I went with the medium dose of the horseradish vinaigrette because most of the fellas in front of me had gone for medium, so they must have known something I did not. The medium saucing turned out to be just right to coat the salad but not leaving behind a ton of residue once you completed the salad. Pros: large helping of steak in the 44 Farms steak salad, the steak is beautiful, quality ingredients, and made with love when Elisa makes your salad. Cons: line out the door, line moves slow, why are we still waiting for a salad when I could be eating a quickly obtained fast food hamberder whilst watching Rick & Morty already??? Salads can be nice, right? A nice salad like this used to be $15 at Georgia's before that turned into the Local Foods, but the line was much less at Georgia's (and hence probably why it turned into the Local Foods) but I am not a patient person and I notoriously do not wait very well. Some reviews say the line moves quick and that is a matter of opinion, from the part of the line starting INSIDE the store it was round 15 minutes left until leaving time with the salad tucked into the tender crook of your elbow - or 0.3 as lawyers and Thai ladyboys in motels out by the airport who both bill in six minute increments are more familiar with in timekeeping. For an $11+ salad with tax this still merits repeat visits on days when (a) the line is not as #extra as it can be sometimes dramatically spilling out the storefront onto the fourth floor of the Park Shops and (b) the weather vs suede shoes conundrum has limited you to skybridge/tunnel accessibles.

    Much better than Salata. Prob, the best salad place bowl place ever. I usually don't get salad but out of all the healthy salad places, this place is my favorite. Also, it gets you to be really full. I loved both of items that I got. Get the one with hummus, I think it just makes the salad way more enjoyable. I think this is the only time I couldn't finish a salad and was able to save it for later. Follow me on Instagram @willeatfood

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes.

We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

The cocktail "come and take it" was balance and flavorful. The crab samosa is a hit. It is crammed with crab stuffing. It is amazing and you get two different kind of dipping sauce with it, Tartar and butter. This was the first that any restaurant has ever done for us, but they actually split our soup in half for us so what's pictured is the half the soup. The duck pad Thai was amazing!!! I wish I had that instead. I had the Caribbean braised oxtail. I wasn't a big fan. I felt like I was tasting more of the sauce and carbs. I asked for the mango and spices on the side. The mango was a nice plate cleanser in between bites. The ambience was really nice , definitely upscale compared to their Travis's Carr location and something that you should dress up for. This is good for a nice formal celebration dinner or date dates. Or fancy Bestie night. There is complementary valet at the front. They have a sign that says do not park across the street.

Ricotta? Brown butter? Yup amazing! Creamy, delicate, but not just a big mush that makes me want to gag. - Lamb ribs: 9/10 Nicely smoked, all around good balanced flavor - Wagyu bavette: 10/10 So good! Tender and juicy.

He ended up being one of the best aspects of our experience that evening. Our waitress wasn't nearly as good. We started by asking for ice in the water from the waitress since they just give you room temp water. After 10 mins of seeing her serve other tables and ignoring our request, we then figured the water boy would make it happen...and sure enough he did. We then ordered the grilled oysters, which are very lightly cooked, almost seemingly steamed more than anything, but they were very good regardless of the cooking method with the sauces and garnishes and pickle juice added. Next up was ordering the entrees. The menu here is a little strange with numerous vegan choices with strange titles and only a few items with protein. To top it off, there are not many choices period. The waitress explained that the left side is basically the apps, and the right side is basically the entrees. I knew I wanted to try the wagyu flat iron steak which is priced pretty high here, compared to other wagyu flat irons I've had at other restaurants across the US. We couldn't really decide on a 2nd main dish then the waitress mentioned the off the menu special which was a scallop pasta so we picked that thinking it sounded delicious. The entrees come out about 15 mins later, and we take our first bites and we both thought, oh no, if we share the other person across from me isn't going to like this dish because it's too salty. I tried the steak first and noticed the sauce being extra salty, then I tried the pasta and the pasta was way worse, but the scallops didn't seem to be affected. We immediately told the waitress the next time she stopped by....and she just said okay, and walked away. I figured she would go get the manager....but nope...she just kept on serving other tables. At this point we thought to ourselves only the oyster app was decent.....and no reason to look at the dessert menu since we had already spent over $100 on food we could hardly eat. Sure enough, the waitress stops by a 2nd time and asks if we'd like to see the dessert menu. I couldn't leave fast enough and told her we'll skip. Needless to say we both left hungry as the portions were not only not edible, but also fairly small. The water boy also stopped by and offered to turn on the heater if we get cold. Boy, I wish he was our waiter instead. For a supposedly Michelin-starred restaurant, I feel they really got this one wrong.

He was excellent My friends and I had a private dining dinner and everything was amazing The mashed potato's are the BEST THING I HAVE EVER EATEN IN ANY RESTAURANT!!!! I'll update in a few days with a better review.

    If you're looking for an upscale ambiance this is the place. This was my first time here, and I…read moreliked the esthetics. Our party's arrival ran late, and they were still able to accommodate us. This was greatly appreciated. However I thought the music was a little too loud, because I could not hear my party across the table. We finally determined we were sitting right under a speaker. Prior to this a manager did ask if we were comfortable at our table, due to my mobility issues. If mobility impaired it's best to sit on the main level, especially if the restroom is needed. Otherwise, there are about 4-5 steps, to go through the kitchen. The kitchen is a huge process!!! I was impressed!Service was pretty good. They were knowledgeable, and got our orders correct. At times I felt our questions were answered a bit snippy, but it didn't persist. My party did feel a bit rushed by staff asking to pick up plates in the middle of our meal. This was a bit disruptive, because I would move plates to the edge if I want them removed. The food was really good. The cons for me is the 1% cutlery charge to help tip the kitchen staff, in addition to the 20% regular tip. They apparently do this to not raise menu prices. It's not a make or break thing, I've never seen it before nor was I made aware of it. It might be on the menu somewhere...idk. Additionally, valet parking is available for a fee. Most restaurants offer a birthday dessert, but this one did not. I would return to enjoy a few menu items like the queso, G & G Salad, and the oysters! These were really good. So for me, it really depends on what one wants to experience.

    Absolutely loved this place! A friend recommended it to me, and I went in with no expectations but…read moreit completely exceeded them. The restaurant itself is beautiful, especially during brunch with all the natural lighting coming through the indoor space. Such a lovely atmosphere with plants surrounding us. The food was amazing, and sharing appetizers was the perfect way to try a few different things. They also have a huge wine selection, which I really enjoyed. I tried their pizza paired with wine, and honestly, it was the perfect combination. The service was also excellent, everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made the experience even better without feeling rushed. They even asked if we wanted to help to get our picture taken, that was so sweet of them.

    There's something about the end of a long day that calls for a warm, candlelit place... and that's…read moreexactly what I found at Sixty Vines. I arrived about an hour before closing, expecting it to be quiet, but at 9:00 p.m. it was still bustling with energy, laughter, and that soft glow that makes everything feel a little more special. I ordered the pork chop and swapped the carrots for broccolini. The pork chop had a beautiful char and was full of flavor--slightly undercooked, yes, but still delicious enough to carry the whole meal. I do wish they had mashed potatoes on the menu, though... it would have made it perfect. We also shared the Brussels sprouts, and sadly, they missed the mark this time. Dry and bitter, nothing like the saucy, flavorful version I've had before--maybe just the late hour catching up with the kitchen. But even so, that pork chop... it lingered in the best way. And sometimes, that's all you need.

You can tell the staff really cares about each other. I got the fried chicken piccata and pimento cheese fritters and one of the whiskey cocktails. And I mean to tell you I CLEANED MY PLATE. there was nothing left. Everything was so fresh and seasoned and delicious. A few weeks later I came on a Saturday night with friends and the service was a bit slower and table options were limited. We were still comfortable and just had a to wait a long time. We got our appetizers before our drinks. The crab toast wasn't my fave but I liked the pimento cheese fritters again. My friend and I both got the shrimp and grits dish and once again cleaned our plates. My other friend got the chicken picatta and loved it as well. I got a chicken to go.

    I've had field and tides bookmarked on my yelp for quite some time. So I was very excited to visit…read morelast weekend for brunch! The restaurant feels very cozy. There's two homes converted into a restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating as well. It was a beautiful, sunny day so we decided to sit under the shade outside. For drinks we ordered sangria and pineapple mimosas. The blueberry ginger pancakes seemed like a hit based on reviews so I ordered that as my entree. The portion size was huge so it was very filling. The ginger was not overwhelming at all and really complemented the sweetness of the blueberry toppings. I also ordered a the pork belly deviled eggs which were pretty yummy as well. My fiancé ordered the gumbo which was very savory and filled with the perfect combo of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage. The service was good as well. Our waiter checked on us several times throughout our meal. Very solid brunch spot in the heights!
