Felt like I was on the Amalfi coast! Had a delightful lunch. Every dish was well executed. We told the server that we were sharing and to pace the food. She said this was not a problem. Endive salad was excellent and perfectly dressed. We had the aged beef hamburger (husband's favorite) , mussels steamed in a light lemon grass curry broth (delicious ) and we finished the meal with a warm rich chocolate lava cake and ice cream! read more

Quite possibly the worst service I've ever had in a fine dining restaurant. Left a VERY detailed review on Resy and the GM called me and left a voicemail asking me to call her back so she could "make it right". I called her back, left a voicemail and never heard from her again. Pretty on par with how the entire night went, honestly. Save your money. This place is overpriced and there are so many better seafood spots in houston. If I could leave 0 stars I would. read more

Overall good dishes. Excellent service. We tried: the seafood gumbo--tasty Smokey flavor; octopus salad-- delicious soft octopus; branzino-- very good. Don't recommend the key lime pie, it's very sour. Sat outside and enjoyed the sunset. Definitely recommend it, but keep in mind it is pricey. read more

Fantastic and fresh seafood. This is a great, new addition to the Houston culinary scene. Every dish was outstanding. My only gripe is the key lime pie is not as great as it was advertised. Manager is Cherif, and he and his staff take very good care of patrons. read more

Dinner last night. Noise level and music were pretty high and uncomfortable. Front of the house and wait staff were very pleasant. The water glass, when it was filled, was cracked and water spilled everywhere. My napkin, used to help the waiter dry up, was never replaced. Bread course was pretty awful. The biscuit-like squares were oily, dry-ish, and wet all at the same time. The seaweed butter was impossibly salty. Raw oysters were wonderful. The mignonette had very few alliums but was ok. The cocktail sauce was very good and had fresh-grated horseradish. In lieu of the usual croutons, the Caesar salad came with six huge rectangles of French toast that were beautifully crisp on the outside but raw inside. Inedible. The Dover sole was not the real deal. It was the inferior American Pacific "Dover" sole. It was fresh and well-fried, but the price was steep for the quality. It was served with a mystery red sauce with sliced almonds. Sort of an amandine that went Texan BBQ. Pretty unremarkable. The mashed potatoes were Robuchon style and very good. They forgot the broccoli rabe. Once they brought it out (we were done eating) it was truly awful. The stems were a bit woody and the overall dish was very, very bitter. We skipped dessert. Will not go back. read more

Yikes. Both entries were super salty. octopus salad fell short the oysters were great. Deserts were a home run

We just had dinner today, and we had a fairly bad experience. The bread service was bisquets, which were dense, hard and not flaky, with a seaweed butter that waz overly salted. The first course was oysters in the shell, which were very good and well shucked. the mignonette was good and the cocktail sauce with freshly grated horseradish was also good. The other first course was Caesar salad. The lettuce was very fresh and crisp, and the dressing was traditional. The "french toast" style croutons were crisp on the outside, but the inside was soggy. For main course we both ordered the Dover Sole. Unfortunately, it was Pacifuc Sole, which is being branded as American or Pacific Diver Sole. It is a nice fish, but it has nothing to do with real Dover Sole from the North Atlantic on the coast of Europe. The price, however, was for the real thing, and not the erzats one. The meuniere sauce came on the side (WTF), and had nothing to do do with the simple brown butter with a bit of flour in it that is classic. In addition, it has almonds in it, which have no place in the traditional dish. The side order of potato puree was excellent (although this is a fairly straightforward preparation that we often do at home) The briccolli rabe (which they had forgotten about) came at the end of the course, and I think it was not especially fresh, as it was more bitter than usual. We skipped dessert. read more

Service was very good. The Salon felt like a cafeteria, so book the dining room. The food was underwhelming.

The food and drinks are all excellently prepared, presented and served. The servers were spot on, always available but never bothering us. I forgot about how great service could be since the pandemic and the general decline of waitstaff knowledge/ability/interest. Best service we've had at a restaurant since 2019 in any city. The restaurant ambience is great except for one major issue (why I've deducted 2 stars from an otherwise 5 star experience). The kitchen is completely open and about every 3-7 minutes the entire kitchen team yells out "CHEF!". It was annoying, distracting, and obnoxious. It reminded me of a TV cooking contest show. They either need to close the kitchen in, or reduce the volume and frequency of the yelling. We weren't even seated near the kitchen - you can hear this in every corner of the restaurant. read more

My fiancé and I went here on Christmas Eve and sat at the bar. We had outstanding drinks and desserts. Tom was fantastic and fun to chat with. The ambiance and environment was great. We will definitely be back! read more

Food here was delicious, nearly everything I tried impressed me. Ambiance is great. The drinks alone are worth coming for, even just for the indoor bar. read more

The best new restaurant around. Food was outstanding. Service was superb. Ambiance was fabulous. I'm definitely going back to try another dish!!! Ask for Andrew. He is a very attentive waiter. read more

All was good but not great. Their prices are very high so it needs to be better to compete at their price point.

Good food, fresh and nicely presented. Very good service. Nice ambiance. However, the prices are quite high to comparable restaurants in town with portions being smaller than others. read more

Underwhelming. Let me start with the positives. Great service. The bread service is so good I almost want to go back just for that. However, ambiance is kind of nonexistent. Super loud. A lot of restaurants are, but with no ambiance and mediocre food, we just wanted out of there. As far as the food (minus the bread service), it all lacked flavor. We had the smoked mahi mahi dip and there was zero smoked flavor. There wouldn't have been any flavor at all without the pineapple chutney. I had the salmon which came highly recommended and my husband had the black truffle risotto and it was all just very bland. We got the carrot cake for dessert and it was solid good. But for the price point, I'm not going back to a seafood place where the only thing I enjoyed was the bread and the dessert. read more

Overall a really good experience with great food, with just a few small nits. When we were finally seated we were starving so we ordered an app. Probably 15 minutes go by and our waiter finally comes back to take rest of our order and mentions they put everything in at once vs apps in. So I was pretty hangry at that point and we quickly decided on branzino and 2 pastas (lobster ravioli and butternut squash). I'm not sure if there were any specials but we weren't informed of them. We had to ask for bread twice and I'm glad we did because they are UNREAL. You could also tell the waiter was annoyed that we transferred our drinks to our table bill vs paying him directly. So 5/5 for food and 3/5 service. read more

I doubt we'll return. We had such high expectations for this place. The space is beautiful, the cocktails are inventive and delicious. The service is almost smothering, which I will take over poor service any day. But the food was just so-so and the presentations were lackluster. Spend your money elsewhere. Or just go for a drink at the bar. read more

Great food and service... some of the best seafood I've had in a long time. The grilled octopus app was outstanding, and swordfish au poivre was delicious. read more

Great food. Great setting. Watch when the bill comes. The waiter decided to upcharge us on almost every single item. Salmon was around $26ish ... he charged $64. Over charged on both appetizers in same manner as well. I will give it another shot but that is very sketchy or a sketchy waiter! And I'm never one to post or vent. read more

Loved it. Server was very informative. Server team members constantly checked on us. Everything was delicious.

Food and ambiance are good, but the food is way overpriced for what you receive. Much better options for restaurants in Houston at this price range. read more

We loved Bludorn, so we decided to give Navy Blue a try for dinner one weeknight. It was an unpleasant experience right off the bat as the hostess showed us to a tiny table right under the waitstaff's stand, while there were empty tables all around us. Luckily our waiter was able to move us to a a larger table further away. He was excellent, but the food was underwhelming. Two of us had pasta dishes while one had fish. None of us were impressed - disappointing! read more

Really bad all around. Service was ok, food wasn't great and everything was over priced. I have an issue when restaurants mark up their wine 3.5X. That just won't work. People catch on to that and just won't come. 2 - 2.5x markup is standard. This place just tried to rob you. Food was awful. Too many good places to eat in Houston. Avoid this place at all costs. Side note: they claim business casual dress code - there were multiple people in there with backwards baseball caps and flip flops. Won't last long! read more

The service was awful! Went for lunch and had to ask for the menus, ask another waiter to take our order or find our server, 3 tables around us received their food before us even though they were seated much later than us, ordered dessert and coffee, coffee came way after the dessert...lastly we had to ask for the ticket. Not sure what was going on but no one was overly friendly. Expensive and not worth the stress of being served. Will not be back and some of my friends have had the same bad service. Really was disappointed because I love Bludorn. read more

We had a wonderful evening celebrating a birthday at Navy Blue. The service was very good with multiple staff checking invwith us. The appetizers were quite tasty and a very good presentation. Our main courses very cooked to perfection and tasted wonderful. Needless to say the deserts were great. Just a great experience! read more

Very good food, nice host, but rather disdainful waitresses. Gets the job done, but a bit pricey for generally rude service. Four star food and two star service averages to three stars overall. Disappointing because the food merits a better review--was timely served and definitely edible. And Houston could use more good seafood restaurants. read more

We went there on 4/1/23, my sisters 47th bday. Was pretty stoked since I was at his other restaurant a few weeks ago. We ordered the big seafood tower, two caesar salads, the gumbo, the branzino, and the spaghetti vongole with sea urchin. I was expecting so much but that seafood tower, for Houston, was such a disgrace. The over cooked shrimp, probably the worst stone crab I have ever had. It tasted like it was in the deep freeze for a long time and defrosted in hot water to make the seafood tower look complete. Honestly if you serve that you just lose all credibility. It was suppose to be a great bday dinner, but after that I did not want to eat anymore. Please make sure your seafood is fresh. read more

Meh Expecting much better. They need to get over themselves. Service was outstanding just wish the food matched.

Based on my experience at Bludorn, I had high expectations. Service met the expectation but the overall meal was average. We had the baked clams, hamachi tartare, and the stone crab claws. Baked clams were on point, hamachi tartare was was good and the stone crab was a waste of money. My wife got the vongole pasta with sea urchin. The pasta was fresh but the pasta was swimming in oil which there was a pool of at the bottom of the bowl. The sea urchin was tossed in and left whole which was kinda of a weird. I got the soft shell crab. The black eye peas had no flavor and they were a little undercooked. Sauce gribiche was tasty. I expected something impressive but got average for $350. I will stick with bludorn... read more

Caesars salad was great. Fries were great. The "bowl" of gumbo was very small for $24. I Don't think I would pay the $48 asking price for a dozen oysters. Overall, good food. A bit overpriced. read more

Huge step down from bludorn in terms of food and service. Nice enough location but parking is a pain and didn't see valet.

The service and food were excellent. Liked the ambience. List of white wines to pair to seafood was a little short, but we're good. Only negative was it was just a little loud when the restaurant was full. Will definitely be in our short list of high end Houston restaurants to visit. read more

Very good crab cakes. The Caesar salad was just so so. Nice wine menu. Pretty overpriced for what you get though. Would go again but probably not my first option. Cute inside for the strip. Good location. Glad I gave it a try. Could be a little more cozy. Good service. read more

We went on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. The service was outstanding. The food was good, but we didn't have anything that was exceptional. read more

Wow! My new favorite restaurant in Houston! Amazing food, great atmosphere and impeccable service. I went with a larger group and we ordered a bunch of appetizers to share. The crab cake and gumbo is to die for! We also loved the baked oysters and mussel bisque. For entrees, we had the lobster ravioli, dover sole, swordfish, and then ordered sides for the table (definitely try the mushroom vol-au-vent side). The dover sole is delicious and elegantly filleted table side. You can't get this anywhere else in the city! We were really full after, but couldn't resist ordering the carrot cake and key lime pie... soooo glad we did! Do yourself a favor and come here for dinner. Seemed like there was a really great bar scene too. We were really impressed considering they've only been open for a few weeks. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Everything was amazingly good from the service to the food! The branzino and red snapper were excellent. The bread and dessert so good . The drinks were spot on. Great addition to Rice Village. read more

We wanted to love this restaurant! Houston needs a good seafood restaurant, but this was a huge disappointment. Our waiter told us he would not rush us, but he had to take the entire order at same time. But that is exactly what happened. We had our first course (oysters) at the same time my first drink was delivered. The next course (crab cake) came before we finished our oysters. I told another waiter that came to our table what the problem was. The original waiter eventually came back and apologized and said he would get our table cleared. Took forever for that to happen. After that the service got much better but the person who brought out the $85 dover sole took forever to filet it. You could tell she knew how to do it, but didn't have much experience. So when it was served, it was good, but luke warm at best, and I got a mouthful of tiny bones. We do not mind spending money for a fabulous meal and experience, but this was neither. And for $420 for 2, it should have been. The restaurant did have a great vibe and the key lime pie was outstanding. read more
