You had the ingredients!!! You can do so much more!! Price?? Deep man. We ordered crab cake. Oysters. Mussels. Oysters. No good. Also. The oyster was stuck on the Shell. It was like fighting with me. Crab cake? Goodness gracious. So much bread. Barely tasted the crab. U should have just said crab flavored cake. I've lived in Baltimore Maryland for 3 years. This is just way behind. Mussels. The sauce had toooooo strong of a wine flavor. Way too strong. The mussels were a bit overcooked. Had a Rubbery consistency. Over all made me feel like a seafood place that had non seafood people. read more

There were so many choices in Finn Hall that I really struggled to pick, but when I saw this place had she crab soup I had to stop. I've never been able to find it outside of the low country and this definitely stood up to the rest. The food was fresh and fast and our entire party enjoyed their orders. The service was good and the cashier was hilarious and let me have samples so I could pick my favorite items. I really enjoyed this place and would return. read more

Service was excellent. Poboy was good. Had 5 shrimp on what most places would consider a half bun. Nice fried but but looked sparse even on that bun. Serves with some forgettable seasoned fries. Was told they couldn't sub hush puppies for those. Too bad. I'll come back to try more of the menu which he some nice variety. read more

I really like the concept that this place is going for, but they are seriously overcharging and underachieving for what they could be serving. My wife and I came by with some friends to check out Finn Hall and three of us opted to eat here. My wife went with the chicken and sausage gumbo and a crab cake. I got the crab soup, crawfish etouffee balls, and hush puppies. We grabbed beignets for dessert. Our total came to about $60 for those items. On the whole, the food was disappointing. The gumbo roux was terribly bland; I've had better gumbo out of a TV dinner. The crab cake was delicious and full of lump crab, but for the size and the fact that you only got one, was very overpriced at $14. The crab soup was a highlight. It was a bit pricey but I haven't had anything like it in Houston. It was sweet, creamy, and perfect for a cold winter day, but probably not something I'd order year round. On the other hand, the crawfish etoufee side consisted of only two balls, and you only got four hushpuppies for $4.50. The beignets were a disappointment across the board. They were served TWO (seriously?!) in an order for $6. They were dry and way too thick. I'm not a beignet connoisseur or anything, but from the 3-4 places I've had beignets from before, these were easily the worst I've ever tried. Overall, the place is a bit of a rip off. High priced food without the quantity or quality to match. I'm hoping that it's not representative of the rest of Finn Hall. read more

Got to try this place out last night! I ordered the gumbo and etoufee balls. I'm from Louisiana, and didn't find it true to Cajun food, but would highly recommend it to someone that isn't from there. The gumbo was pretty good, hearty. The etoufee balls were good, but not sure why they serve it with marinara - that's odd. I would like to give this place another shot though with the po-boy and hush puppies. The display of fresh fish is very great and really draws the crowd. I do think the main downside is that this place is quite pricey. I will update more as I've tried other things on the menu. read more

Review for beignets only. The dough is too dense. There's no rise, left with just fried dough and the beignet is absorbing too much oil that you can taste the oil. 2 for $6 :( Was really hoping it would be better. Service is good. read more

The food was a-okay 1. Oysters were fine 2. Mussels were okay, smaller portion, not a lot of broth. 3. Calamari, okay. Bigger portion. 4. Beignets - the batter has a thicker consistency. Not bad. read more

I been wanting to try this place out and I'm more disappointed that I didn't go sooner. The food there was incredible. Had to get seconds. The service was on point. The manager was supper nice and had great recommendations. Not to mention the drinks and food where always on time. Loved it here and hope it gets more customers like it deserves Will be returning. (Crab cakes where my top 10) read more

I LOVE their steamed muscles and shrimp poboy. I don't love the beignets, they're a little heavy on the inside (or I just got an off batch). The quality is consistent for both lunch and dinner times. They're definitely a little pricey for the portion sizes. There's the odd occasion that we put in to-go orders and found that some items (e.g. an order of hush puppies) are forgotten. Not a huge deal but it gets old. They're located in Finn Hall towards the back end. read more

I stumbled upon Finn Hall before my trip to Dallas. I love grits, so I asked the young lady at the register if she can tell me more about the entree. She looked so confused, as to, "what do you mean?" So then I proceeded with follow-up questions like, "what type of fish is it?", "is there a sauce they put on top?", "does it have bacon?", "Is there cheese in the grits". I thought if someone asked you to describe a dish at your restaurant, you just start to describe it. So her customer service skills can improve a bit. Maybe it was a bit too early for her?!? I don't know, but that was a tad annoying. The last question I asked is, "Is it is pretty large portion?" She said yes. I enjoyed the food, but maybe the portion size is for a baby, or models that barely eat. I left there pretty hungry still! Now for the food! I enjoyed it! It was a simple dish, literally a fresh piece of flounder, over simple grits. I enjoyed it. It could use a pinch of salt, but I didn't really need the salt. After about 3 bites, I was finished. Thank God for the bread they put on the side! If I'm Houston again, I would return and try something else, but eat first! Also, they are pretty expensive for their portion size. Maybe the high price is due to the freshness of their seafood? But you typically don't expect a food stall to have such high prices. This is not fine dining. read more

Highly disappointed. Ordered a shrimp platter ($15 although the menu shows $14) and crab soup ($8). The shrimp platter included with 5 shrimp (of decent size and good quality) but the batter had no seasoning and fell off as I tried to eat the shrimp. The fries were cold & greasy and the hush puppies must have absorbed oil while cooking because they were soggy. I also ordered crab soup which had only little bits of crab and the soup itself only tasted like heavy cream. There are MUCH better places for seafood, especially at the price point. Sadly, nothing in my entire order was enjoyable. read more

My friends and I went to the new location on Bingle; in Spring Branch (Houston). The service was good; but we were the only ones in there, so I'm not surprised. I ordered a margarita. It was awful. I tried to like it, but it was flavorless save for the tajin rim. I drank half; was never asked about it nor offered any other beverage.....even water. The she crab soup was good. The oyster po boy was average. Tiny oysters and only 4 on each half. I asked for slaw; was given fries. The desserts were okay, but nothing I'd order again. I wanted to like this restaurant as we need another seafood place in this area; and I'll probably try them one more time; but they need to step up their game; FAST! The prices are on the high side. read more

When we were at Finn Hall this was one of our two food stops. We got the gumbo and the beignets. The Gumbo was solid, a huge bowl! And the beignets were made to order and super fresh and hot out of the frier. It comes with powdered sugar of course and a dipping sauce. The dipping sauce was almost like a banana's foster, this was my absolute favorite thing I ate while at the hall. read more

Crab cake was overpriced and disappointing. Another reviewer nailed it when they said it should be called 'crab flavored cake.' All filler and none of the so-called lumps of crab as advertised. Super small, too, for $14. See the pic with a lemon wedge for reference. On the bright side, it's likely that no actual crabs died to make this meal, ha. The side salad was pretty tasty though and not too steep at $4. Do yourself a huge favor and head to Vic & Anthony's down the street instead for a proper crab cake loaded with lump meat for $20. You're welcome. read more

A couple of friends invited us out to try finn hall where there's 10 restaurants inside one building. How cool is that! We decided to eat at Low Tide which is mostly seafood, and I was A-okay with that! We tried a few different items starting with the snapper ceviche. I was surprised that this little place had one of the most flavorful ceviches I've ever had. On top of that, it was served with rice cakes...o how delicious. Next we tried the blackened fish tacos which were delicious as well. The crabcake we ordered was ok but nothing to brag about. The fish and chip basket was just ok as well. You really don't expect too much from fish and chips anyway. The hush puppies were amazing and so was the chicken biscuit. We will definitely be back. read more

Exceptional service and delicious food! Coming from out of town, I always try to maximize my meals by eating the most delicious food possible when I'm visiting a new place. Because everything on the menu looked so good, I had trouble deciding. Russell was so kind and patient with me. If only I had more time here so I could try more of their menu! read more

Uh-mazing!! We shared the fried shrimp, mussels and ceviche. Fried shrimp was great! That cocktail sauce w the extra horseradish flavor was superb!! Ceviche was fresh, tasty, perfect lime amount! So clean and yummy and the rice puff crackers were a different twist of extraordinary! I want more! The mussels were a huge amount and the sauce was TO DIE FOR! That bread is sturdy enough to hold the sauce and light enough to want to eat a whole loaf! So delicious!! I need like 3-5 orders of this deliciousness!! Awesomeness, Low Tide! Will definitely be back! read more

Went out late venturing for some Houston eats and came across across this place in Finn Hall. Ordered a shrimp po boy and side of hush puppies. Po boy bread to shrimp ratio was off, way more bread than shrimp. The shrimp batter lacked flavor. Hush puppies were the ones that were good this meal. Nice and crunchy on outside and soft and moist (and cooked) inside. My friend ordered ouster po boy and said the oysters lacked flavor too so the batter needs some more flavor. read more

I was disappointed by Low Tide, but my opinion might change if I return in the future and get to try out their seafood options. This review is only for fries and dessert: - French fries: 3/5. Not as good as another reviewer mentioned. They weren't bad, but could definitely have been better. - Beignets: 1/5. I carefully sought out and weighed all the dessert options in Finn Hall and finally decided on the beignets here, and was seriously disappointed. They were weirdly doughy and thick (not in a good way), unflavorful, and overpriced. Also, the dipping sauce they came with was an undefined flavor (sort of had a faint cappuccino taste? I couldn't tell--which is not a good sign). read more

Low Tide offers very good seafood. We tried the fish and chips, and they were great: the fish was flaky and flavorful, and the french fries were delicious. I actually thought the french fries at Low Tide were better than the french fries at Craft Burger, another station in Finn Hall. Thumbs up! read more

Super new Finn Hall boasts a mega food court experience. After perusing the options, the seafood spot, Low Tide, drew me in with it's fresh display of seafood and happy hour menu! I tried a Gulf Coast oyster shooter and the crawfish etoufee balls. The oyster (for a non oyster lover, was delicately balanced with a sweet oyster liquor, zippy cocktail sauce and slice of lemon. Fresh and flavorful, I probably could have downed a dozen if I was hungrier. The etoufee balls were nicely fried, and topped a sweet and just spicy enough marinara sauce. I would definitely visit this spot again. See ya soon, Alli! read more

Absolutely terrific. The Snapper was moist and done just right. The sautéed veggies were perfect. The hush puppies were crunchy but not over done and served with honey butter. Yum. My partner's trout was wonderful too. The setting is very New York.

This review is based solely on their small snacks. I had their crispy crawfish etoufee balls. It comes with 2 and is around $4.50. But man I wish they came with more! This is amazingness in a ball. It's pretty much jambalaya and crawfish fried in a ball. I would def come back for this again! I also had their hush puppies. There were 4 of them. The honey butter spread makes a huge difference. It's so buttery and makes such a simple hush puppy so heavenly. It also makes it less dry. I even wanted to take the spread home to put on some bread lol read more

after eating at Finn Hall, i was looking for something sweet. if you wanna grab something light, sweet and delicious- try their banana pudding!! a little pricey but worth it since it's hard to find banana pudding that's not overly sweet and just blah. read more

Gotta be honest....I thought this place was just "Okay". The Gumbo was not very spot on...and in my opinion, it could be spicier. I don't even really believe it was made with an actual roux base, seemed like more of gravy. I also had Oysters on the half shell which were top notch, but overall for a place that is in Finn Hall, their Seafood selection and Gumbo could be better. read more

This place is a complete rip off. Seriously. You get like 8 mussels for $13. $12 for two gulf oysters and two east coast. The shrimp sliders? Omg, it's ALL bread. No sauce or anything. The shrimp are tiny!!!! Like penny size after fried! Seriously - what a waste of $35. Go to Yong next door. Their Korean fried chicken for $8 that's delicious and great portions. Soooo disappointed because this place could've had a "Chelsea Market" seafood potential, but fail. Granted, the seasoning is a solid 3.5. Never coming back. read more

Way too expensive for what they offer. They take advantage of the Finn Hall structure to ridiculous overcharge.

Don't waste your time or money on the beignets. They are not prepared fresh they are rewarmed and taste like fish. I had to throw them away.

So here's the deal: Perfect hush puppies and shrimp & grits. Delicious fresh oysters. Eat here already!

Food was delicious and we especially liked the sweets. Highly recommended! Will be back soon.
