    Such nice food ambience happy hour we will be back server was great his name was Kenny

    The owner and me...

    First time to visit... Mother's Day Event! The family was greeted by the owner and some of his family. The waiter was very attentive and the meal was outstanding. Each mother was given a rose . Nice. I plan to visit again. Nice place for a family event or date.

    Garlic Seared Calamari

    Masraff's never fails to impress me in every aspect in terms of service and food. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a modern design that is upscale and classy. The staff is always super professional, friendly and timely. The food is always consistently meticulously crafted and always delicious. The complimentary bread is a focaccia bread served warm, and it is perfectly chewy with a nice heat to it. The must-order appetizer is the garlic seared calamari. The calamari is always well-seasoned, flash fried I'm assuming, and served with oyster mushrooms and a garlicky sauce. I have never had calamari prepared this way at any other restaurant. The New England clam chowder was satisfying and served with a biscuit on top. The colossal shrimp risotto had perfectly cooked risotto and ginormous shrimp that were not overcooked. Mr. Masraff always stops by and asks if the food is good; and I am certain that he takes immense pride in his food and service and it is very evident. I have been here 6 or 7 times (6-7!!!) and it's 5 stars every time. They are incredibly great and consistently so. My diagnosis: One of the best restaurants in Houston for upscale New American food.

    Valentine's Day menu

    We hadn't yet been to their new location and we absolutely loved it. We decided to come for their amazing Valentine's Day menu as it sounded so good with options for any tastes. Location and ambiance is wonderful. Easy to park. Beautiful restaurant and decor. Tables were spaced nicely. Wait staff was exceptional and very attentive. Masraff and son were both there to see over everything. They approached every table to thank them for choosing their restaurant for this special occasion. I thought that was so nice of them. The food was exquisite. Very high quality and nice attention to detail. We will definitely be back.

    Valet is $10 but there is a free parking garage in the back. On days where it's busy, it might take you a bit of time to find a spot and get situated so plan ahead if you made reservations. My friend and I came here on a Wednesday night around 6 PM so it wasn't too packed inside the restaurant. Right when we got seated, the waiter took orders for drinks/appetizers and put down a bread basket in front of us. The bread was warm and had salt and rosemary on top- it was delicious with the butter! For drinks, I asked for their sweetest beverage and the server said he'll surprise me. He brought out a pineapple cocktail which was refreshing, spritzy, and had the perfect amount of sweetness to it. For appetizers, my friend and I got the Hudson Valley Foie Gras which was spectacular. It was rich and buttery from the foie gras and thyme butter brioche (that had a nice toasted texture) and was balanced out with the tartness from the strawberries. I highly recommend this dish! In terms of the entree, I ended up getting the American Red Snapper. The exterior was nice and crispy, the filet was flaky, and the flavor was well done with the creamy sauce on top. I also enjoyed the polenta and veggies that came with the fish. I had a bite of my friend's Bison Ribeye and to be honest, it wasn't my favorite. It tasted very sweet like teriyaki jerky but if that's what you look for in a steak, this dish might be for you! As for the sides, we got the jumbo lump crab fried rice and Masraff's creamed spinach. Although I'm not exactly used to zucchini and bell peppers being in fried rice, the generous lumps of crab was appreciated and it was a decent side. The creamed spinach is rich and heavy but paired well with the bread. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Masraff's!

    I have seen this place many times from the Frost Bank that is adjacent. Finally decided that I had to come in here for a birthday dinner. Wow! The food was exceptional. We started out with softshell crab and stone crab legs, which were amazing. Entrées were extremely good and the dessert was next to the level. Great coffee! Great service! Great food! What more do you need? Try it!

    Barolo Braised Short Rib

    This place was incredible! Service was as good as the best fine dining places and the food was just as good. The short rib was the best I have had in years, the mushroom risotto side was rich but great and the desserts finished the evening off perfectly.

    Masraff's offers great food in an ambiance that is very satisfying for special occasions or simply treating yourself to a great meal. Parking is simple but the valet is very reasonably priced. The staff will take excellent care of you from the greeting to serving every course of your meal. All are willing to ensure you receive the best they have to offer. While I've never had a bad meal at Masraff's, some dishes are just crazy good like the calamari (5 rating). Their steaks (5 rating) are of outstanding quality and perfectly cooked. My most recent dish was the Chilean Sea Bass was a little over cooked (4 rating). The restaurant is pricey but in my opinion worth the cost. I'm always looking forward to my next visit eventually trying everything on the menu.

    I got to finally try Masraff's!! I've been wanting to try since when they were near the galleria and I'm so glad I did! We went for HRW and the food and service were amazing! There is a parking garage in the back that's not far at all if you don't want to do valet. It was quite busy for a weekday dinner so I knew it was gonna be good! Our server took his time to explain the drink and food to us, help guiding us to choose our meals. The lighting is dim to create a more relaxed atmosphere environment. Can't wait to be back!

    Texas Gulf Red Snapper
    Duyen T.

    Came here for a date with a reservation for a table of 2 and got seated right by a wall that blocked an exiting way from the table. Despite the restaurant being empty and there was plenty of other table for a party of two. But the server was super nice and friendly, he happily explained the menu and gave recommendations. We order the Garlic Seared Calamari, Garlic Honey Glazed Texas Quail, American Red Snapper and Chilean Sea bass. The calamari and quail were a 8/10 as it was nicely cooked and flavorful. As for the red snapper (5.5/10), the fish was fresh but was way too salty to enjoy. The seabass (7/10) was fresh, nicely cook, and seasoned well though it felt like something was missing. The place wasn't busy when I got there on a Tuesday though it did picked up later in the night. It was will decorated and clean.

    Discounted fine dining - thanks HRW! A bougee vibe for my fancy people! I had a nice dinner here with a gal pal. The table settings and wine displays put you in awe once you enter the dining area. Staff was friendly and dressed to the nines to serve you. During our dining experience, the Manager/Owner (his last name was Masraff) came by to check on us. This always adds a special touch to the dinner experience. My HRW food picks: Crispy Jumbo Lump Crab Cake - A wonderful start to the meal! I really enjoyed the coulis. 6oz Cab Filet Mignon - Cooked perfectly medium rare. The lobster potato souffle was yummy, and I wanted more! Coffee Creme Brulee - I like coffee, and I like creme brulee, why not have them together?? This dessert wasn't terrible, but I didn't love it. The strawberry margarita was not to die for, unfortunately. Perhaps I should have gone with a smooth glass of wine! I would definitely return here for a special occasion or event.

    8 oz Filet Mignon
    Sean K.

    OMG incredible experience. This was my first time at Masraff's (my wife has gone countless times and always raves about it). I got the filet mignon - near perfection. The cobbler was spectacular. I also got to try the Chilean sea bass (sorry we ate it all before getting a photo). Overall the flavor and seasoning was spot on. Entrees came out hot and quite pleasant. The service was top notch as you would expect from a fine dining restaurant. And the ambiance was also quite nice and clean. I would definitely come here again and recommend everyone try it. Lastly, the owner (Mr. Masraff) came around and checked with everyone on the quality of the food and our satisfaction level with the whole experience. We of course told him all was quite well. Rock on, Masraff's! Thanks for the party in my mouth.

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.

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!

Chrissy and James bring such warmth and joy to the evening that it truly feels like you're among friends. Chrissy was our ambassador for the meal and she's down to earth.

Second, I discovered that they're owned by the same people behind Masraff's. That's a good start. They're located in a shopping center with several other businesses, including a cat vet right next door. While it was busy, I didn't have trouble finding a parking spot. Ambiance (4/5): This is part of where By Popular Demand (BPD) shines. The interior is trendy, with both tabletop seating and more comfortable chairs and sofas. There's a small patio in the front and a larger one on the side. There aren't a ton of seats inside, so think of it as a smaller, more intimate bar. Service (3.5/5): A little slow to start out with as it took our waitress a good while to come and take our order (we were sitting on the front patio). She did apologize for the delay, and she was friendly from there on out, so things improved throughout our evening there. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior so I was on a liquid diet. I have heard they have a pretty awesome steak night on Mondays though. Next time around! Drinks (3.5/5): While they have a full bar, BPD is a cocktail bar. They have 10-12 craft cocktails, plus everything else you would expect at a bar. I went with That Cucumber Drink. I'm always a fan of any cocktail that incorporates cucumber. It was one of the few items on the menu that stood out to me. A decent number of of the offerings are more of your standard cocktails (margaritas, ranch waters, etc.) and a good number have brown liquor (while I prefer clear liquor). Not the best menu for my taste, but that's not to say it's not a solid menu. Next time around, I'll have to stop by for steak night or to try out their food menu.

Bar Bludorn, unfortunately, is not there yet... and that contrast is impossible to ignore. Let's start with the good: the food is delicious. An honest 8/10. You can absolutely get a fantastic filet mignon here, arguably one of the best in the city. The kitchen knows what it's doing, no question. Now the problem: the service. For a restaurant charging Bludorn-level prices, the hospitality was shockingly absent. Our server seemed completely disengaged, as if we were an inconvenience rather than guests. There was no warmth, no attention, no sense that anyone cared whether we were enjoying ourselves, or even planned to come back. It felt transactional at best, indifferent at worst. Bar Bludorn positions itself as a polished, elevated dining experience, but the service told a very different story. When the hospitality misses this hard, it overshadows even good food. And in Houston, where you can get incredible steaks, thoughtful service, and better value all over the city, there's simply no reason to settle. Bludorn remains exceptional. Bar Bludorn, at least for now, feels like a concept still finding its footing while charging full price for the destination it wants to be. Until the service catches up to the ambition, we won't be returning.

I'm not sure if parking is allowed at the neighboring businesses after hours, but I wanted to play it safe and ended up waiting about 15 minutes for someone to vacate their space. Our group had a couple of tables reserved and they had no problem having everyone pay on separate tabs. Service is offered both at the table and bar. Our waiter was attentive and had great recommendations for wine. When I was conflicted between two whites, he graciously brought me out both to taste and decide. I went with the Cacciabruco Malvasia/Trebbiano, which is a skin-contact white wine, so it had more of a reddish hue to it and almost looked like a rose in the dim lighting of the restaurant. I really liked this, as it was on the drier side and satisfied my palate more than the Gewürztraminer that I had also sampled. I didn't try the food but others in our party really liked the flatbreads they ordered. I do want to try these out next time because I know they will pair great with the wine! I'm glad I finally discovered this place! I'll definitely be back for happy hour and even a date night. With so many good places popping up in in Spring Branch, I'm sure this will become a regular spot for drinks before dinner

    I I patroned The Library recently, the date of the Artemis II launch actually and coincidentally. I…read morewas there for an intellectual after work space talk event on "What the Universe is Made Of." The ambience of The Library fits its name to a t. There are books abound, along the walls, in the bathroom, everywhere. I had a glass of Experience, a Californian Cabernet Sauvignon. It was a good pour, not too little or too much and the taste was deep, well balanced and smooth. Since the event took place around dinner time I also had a Fig and Speck flatbread. The fig, prosciutto and other toppings complimented each other well. The flatbread dough itself was ok but could've benefited from a little more flavor such as some garlic, butter and herbs. I also would've liked it a bit thinner so I could taste less of the bread and more of those delicious toppings. Don't get me wrong it was good and I ate all of it but these are small suggestions I'd recommend to bring it to perfection. I could see parking and seating being tricky. I was fortunate to snag a parking spot on the side of the building near the auto place and once inside I found a seat at a table with a lovely couple, another couple joined us soon after. Many of the guests who arrived later stood at first and then halfway through the event, made their way to the floor where they sat cross legged. All in all, The Library was a nice establishment and although a little out of my way, I'd return for another event or if I were in the area again.
