The service is great, I recommend getting reservations but if you forget the team is great about doing their best to accommodate you. The decor and cleanliness of the restaurant is amazing, the ambiance feels like you've stepped into a restaurant and left Houston! The pancakes were fluffy with subtle notes of coconut and garnished with bobo. You have to try to bread pudding for dessert or an appetizer. The shrimp and grits were spot on and that's coming from a Louisiana native!

The croutons in the Caesar salad are made from actual homemade sourdough bread, fried fresh to order, and they are absolutely delicious. Normally, I have to steer completely clear of bread due to gluten, but they use a high-quality, special flour here that my system handled with absolutely no issues or reactions. It truly makes you feel special dining here. ​A massive shout-out to my waitress, Sarah! She gave off the most pleasant, soft, kind, and compassionate vibes from the moment she stepped up to the table. She made an amazing experience even better. I will definitely be back!

Outdoor patio with fans is great and the music selection is much improved and a good volume so you can hear your dining companion 2. Bolognese pasta is still great 3. New lamb dish is delish, meat is juicy 4. Gelato trio nice to end in a refreshing cool note 5. Filled beignets always wins especially when there is strawberry filling 6. Carajillo yummy Areas to improve 1. Leeks appetizer was a huge disappointment- not that tasty and had a big gob of dressing on the side 2. I don't eat raw or caviar so I wish they had more appetizers It's great dining for special occasions, highly recommended!

Delicious, creative meal with friendly and attentive service. We sat in the patio out back in June…read moreand it was a bit warm even with the fans so my preference would be to try to sit inside. Still it was fine. Enjoyed the gem salad, Nancy cakes, lamb tartare and wood grilled half chicken. Side of the beef fat sticky rice. Nancy cakes: yes I could eat these every visit. Really good combination of flavors and textures. Everything was nice: lamb tartare was delicious, salad was strong. Chicken satisfying. Had a solid dessert too: hazelnut marjolaine. I look forward to returning and trying a whole new batch of dishes.

Nancy's Hustle is the real deal…read more Walked in with no expectations and left wondering how I'd gone this long without eating here. The Nancy Cakes are worth the hype, piping hot with that whipped butter and smoked trout roe combo that somehow just works. We also had the dumplings and the double cheeseburger on the English muffin, both excellent. The burger especially punches way above what you'd expect from a bistro. The vibe is perfect. Dark, relaxed, no pretension, and still feel like you're having a great night out. Michelin Bib Gourmand for a reason. This is one of the best restaurants in Houston, full stop. Just make a reservation, the place fills up fast.

Patio has some fans blowing the hot air around. Rando mud dauber hornets flying around. Seated and waited on by Samuel- super nice guy. Ordered pancakes , steak and eggs and the crabcakes. Steak and eggs- was 8/10 Good flavor. Medium. But meat was a tad chewy Crabcakes- great flavour, light, delicious 9/10 Pancakes- fluffy, light, w good texture 9/10 Service 10/10. Sam was the man Helpful, quick, resourceful.

Came here for my wife's birthday. Made the reservation using Resy/Opentable indicating occasion,…read moreand when we arrived, there was no indication from staff that they were aware. We weren't drinking so we did mocktails. Their selection is solid. I recommend the Million Dollar Baby and the New Madness. For the oysters, we did 2 of each: fried, smoked and roasted. I would low key just come back for oysters next time. They were that damn good. I was let down by the dry-aged burger. Even though I ordered the burger as medium, it was pretty dry. I've had better burgers from joints around town. Not worth $24. The Chicken entree was an absolute let down. I won't even elaborate. Some of our favorite entrees were the carrot soup and crab rice. Both were out of this world. For me the food was 3/5, service (aside from staff forgetting occasion of visit) 5/5, value 3/5. Also valet parking is $8. I'm still undecided if I'll be back. Need to recover from spending $275 on a single dinner. Ouch.

They are located in my office building, and I've heard great things about their original Denver…read morelocation. Unfortunately, I've been consistently underwhelmed, especially considering the prices. Today, the bill was approximately $65 for two hamburgers, fries, an iced tea, and a Coke (and they even charge for Coke refills--my friend had two). Beyond the cost, they seem to treat ketchup like it's a luxury item. For two burgers and fries, they brought out a single small ramekin, and it always feels like you have to ask repeatedly for more. Another frustration is their attitude toward reservations. Every time I've visited, they've made a point of mentioning that I didn't have one. This time, I specifically made a reservation through OpenTable, only to later see it marked as canceled. I'm not sure why, but it certainly left a bad impression. Overall, the food is fine, but the combination of high prices, nickel-and-diming on basics, and the overall customer experience means this won't be one of my preferred lunch spots going forward.

We looked at other reviews before going and went with an app we didn't hear much about, but an entree that we did hear amazing things about. Appetizer: everyone talks about the dilly bread but honestly, the puff puff pass sounded better, esp the scotch bonnet aioli. 10/10 loved the flavors together, esp the fried bread with the aioli Entrees: we had the pork belly special and the nono's pasta. Everyone raves about the pasta and rightfully so. The noodles with the right amount of bolognese was such a flavorful comfort food. The pork belly was also delicious but the pasta hit better. Dessert: of course i had to get both! We got the famous olive oil cake and their banana rum cheesecake. We didnt taste much banana unfortunately but the cheesecake was tasty. But olive oil cake takes the cake! This place is a must to try in Houston.

Houston has done it again! I'm going to be a little controversial here, but why is the food so much…read morebetter here than it is it Dallas? Had a 5:30pm resy, seated outside right away that Saturday evening--it was a full house 45 minutes later. You'd be a fool to skip the dilly bread--a complete fool! The rolls are pillowy and warm. I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem! Until next time, Nobie!

I felt like I was dropped off in the middle of Brooklyn or perhaps even Tokyo at this very trendy…read morevinyl listening bar with great cocktails. It also felt like a third space of sorts, because I was hanging out with a well connected friend, and everyone who came in was a who's who of the Houston restaurant/nightlife scene, and gathered for what turned out to be an unplanned hang out. They were hosting a vinyl swap night, so folks were coming in to peruse the many boxes of vinyls, and a DJ spun classic r&b tunes. I hear that on some nights they make space for a dance floor so people can show off their best two step in the space. The drinks were great and well priced but the wine selection is what got me. I was told they were inspired by Japan's many vinyl listening bars-- having been to many across Japan as well as many NYC imitators, this place actually impressively comes close. A true gem in Montrose.

I would definitely come back to check out their dinner menu and cocktails. Food was good, the outdoor tables are a bit rusty but it compliments the ambiance. Inside they have a lot of vinyls and have dj's at night. This is a hidden gem.

This place is interesting. We had heard about this restaurant for years, and finally made our way…read moreout on a Saturday night. We made reservations several days in advance and still were only able to get patio seats. The vibe of the place is so Houston. It's a really nice restaurant - inside is small and cozy, decorated beautifully. The patio only has 2 tables but it's elegant. And it looks out at the highway, billboards, downtown, and abandoned homeless encampments. During dinner, we had a bachelorette party bus park beside us and a couple shirtless guys come up from the bayou with fishing poles. But it works - that's Houston! Food itself was good, but not great. I'll give it 5/5 stars for originality - each dish was unlike anything I've had elsewhere. - ratatouille- 4/5 - it was interesting, and mostly loved that it was soaking in some delicious olive oil. - broth- 4/5 - a nice little spicy kick, but otherwise was just okay - Tuna sashimi - 5/5 - fish was fresh and tasty! Appreciated the crunch between the layers of tuna. - French cheese pancake - 4/5 - generally can't go wrong with bread and cheese. It's interesting, and I liked the green onions topping it. - Fried shrimp and shiso- 4/5 - didn't love the sauce this came with, but otherwise this almost tasted like a jalapeno popper with shrimp. - snapper - 3/5 - poached, and pretty bland. Came with a very fishy seaweed reduction on the side. - potatoes side - 2/5 - don't get these unless you're looking for just boiled potatoes. They're pretty flavorless. Overall, interesting food for a one time visit, but unlikely a place we'll return to.

I really enjoyed my whole experience here. The vibe is unique for Houston. The building has a…read moreunique vibe and i'm obsessed with the front door. After entering, you are immediately greeted like family in a relaxing environment but with top notch food. It was my friend's bday so we celebrated with complimentary bubbles which was a nice touch. We enjoyed a large portion of their limited/rotating menu that did not disappoint. The tuna was my favorite. 10/10. A very extensive, higher end wine list complemented the meal nicely. Definitely need reservations -- book as early as possible. Seating is very limited especially for larger parties. Parking --- street parking around the block. Wasn't too difficult. Definitely a must try!
