Now why have you all been hiding Ouisie's table from me? I tried them for the first time after driving past it so many times, not realizing exactly what it was, so I'm honestly glad I finally stopped in. This place is an absolute gem and feels like a well-kept secret if you're not already in the know. I'm sure the OG Houstonians are very familiar, but it was new to me. I got invited on an outing here and we arrived around 8:45pm on a Tuesday night, right before the kitchen closed. It was pretty quiet with just one other table, but you could immediately tell this restaurant has history. It has that classic "this used to be the spot" energy. I ordered the New Orleans Blackened Red snapper, which was served with vegetables. It was delicious, and paired it with a really refreshing mocktail. Everything hit. It was so hard to even choose this entrée because everything on the menu looked good. I'm already looking forward to coming back and experiencing it during a livelier time. Also worth noting that there's plenty of parking and valet is available. read more

Legendary River Oaks restaurant that didn't hit for me today. I've been coming here for 20+ years. The space is beautiful, well-kept and great service. I'm certain I just picked wrong for lunch. I ordered the Curry Chicken Salad. I think the biggest miss was the cut on the chicken. Large slices, needed several cuts to get down to a bite. Also, the mix was a bit "saucy". No one's fault. I was thinking more like a true chicken salad. Flavor was there. Maybe as Chopped would say "knife skills". Could also be me. I'll come back and choose different next time. read more

This was my first time visiting, as I came for a business luncheon. The environment and the restaurant itself are beautiful, especially the entryway. I loved the cart with the champagne bottle; such a nice touch. We sat in one of the reserved rooms and were served by two gentlemen who were truly on top of their game. Their customer service was excellent, efficient, attentive, and very courteous. As for the food, I'm not exactly sure what the dish was called, but it was delicious. The dessert and the bread were also very good. I'd love to come back on my own time and try other dishes from the menu. One thing to note: parking is limited. They do offer valet for $5, which is a helpful option. Overall, a great first experience. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is a very pretty restaurant to take a special person to or to just meet a friend. The food is always very good, and they will normally permit substitutions (vegetables, fries, etc.) - basically "they aim to please". Met a friend here for lunch and there's always room on a weekday for lunch - the restaurant does fill up in the evenings and on weekends. The server was very pleasant and accommodating with a change order. We just had standard fare today, the burger with fries and the turkey club. Also, a cappuccino. Very reasonably priced for lunch. A leisurely lunch and we sat around for another 15 minutes. Food came out in about 10 minutes time. Easy to get here - just inside the loop on San Felipe. Valet parking is $5 - you could park yourself, but it is a long walk. read more

Ouisie's Table - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Important dinner for 6 went well: Scallops, branzino, steak Each menu has a wine list in the front, makes it easier on the host, especially with close friends. Monday night special Prime Rib was sold out, we arrived at 7 pm but took our time, ordered at 8, last to leave that evening. Here's what could be better: Decor - recommend something is updated every 3-4 months. Ceiling fans from the 1990s, mismatched chairs: wooden chairs had most of the paint scratched off, newer metal chair cushions were ripped. May be repaint the walls, red dress from 1968 in a glass case looked nice, but out of place. Service: I shouldn't need to remind the waiter to ask if guests would like another round of cocktails, pour wine for us. Second bottle was opened but left in the middle of the table. I had to leave the table to find our waiter. read more

I came to celebrate my birthday/Christmas with a friend. We've both passed by here a million times (though I thought it was called Elvie's table and she thought it was Eunice due to the cursive letters lol) so we finally stopped in. The place was cute and cozy in the lobby. The main dining room is one big room and it seems like it used to be a house. They had a pianist playing seasonal music (and later happy birthday for me :). Rey have an assortment of complementary bread that was unfortunately the best thing we ate all night. We asked for more and took 3 waiters to finally bring it. The menu sounds super exciting but the pictures left a bit to be desired and the flavor did as well. We dined toast style from their small plates and nothing was mentionably good. The calamari was oddly thick and cut into squares which made me wonder if it was really calamari. The oysters Rockefeller were left uneaten after trying one each. The crab cakes also disappointed. My friend did like her edge salad though. They brought a slice of cake for my birthday that was good. Overall it was disappointing. They have free parking in front of San Faldo's or valet is $5 read more

Cute little restaurant, kind of hidden in a sense. They have valet which is $10. Came here for an early dinner so it wasn't crowded at all! John was our server and he was amazing.

Loved my blueberry lemon drop martini. read more

I was excited to try Ouisie's Table for Houston Restaurant Weeks, especially when I saw the $39 dinner menu featuring a crab cake appetizer. Despite some reviews about forced valet parking, we had no issues and were able to park ourselves and walk to the restaurant. The ambiance had an older, more traditional feel compared to the fun atmosphere I was expecting given its proximity to the Galleria. I think I was probably the youngest diner there. The meal started with three types of muffins--cornbread and jalapeño cheddar being the BEST. I shamelessly ate six of them, and the waitstaff happily kept them coming! For the appetizer, I ordered for the crab cake. While the portion was decent, the flavor didn't stand out, and the corn pairing did not help. My main course was the beef tenderloin with vegetables and au gratin potatoes. It was simple and straightforward, but nothing memorable. The potatoes were my favorite part of the dish, though they could have been cooked a little longer for a softer texture and more browning on top as you would expect with au gratin potatoes. Overall, the service was excellent, but the simplicity of the food just wasn't for me. Can I get those muffins to go? read more

Girls brunch at Ouisie's was a success! When you arrive, there is $5 valet parking available, or you can self park at the far end of the shared parking lot (be mindful of signs). Hostess area is large which was nice, since our group didn't feel squished while taking a group photo together. We were seated near the back of the restaurant in one of the side rooms, which was pleasant and roomy. We all enjoyed our food; the only dish that wasn't as delicious was the hummus, but we filled up on our main dishes. I had the Chicken and Waffle dish (comes with scrambled eggs) and was a good balance of sweet and savory; it also comes with a side of fruit. Portions are plentiful! Service was good, but not great. We didn't feel rushed, which was a big plus, but there also wasn't any personalization. Overall, a good girls brunch spot! read more

A relatively formal spot (white tablecloths etc). The entrees were fine, not particularly memorable. The biscuits that came with dinner were wonderful. I had extra helpings of those. I had a chicken dish. My companion had the parmesan trout. We were too full for dessert. Service was good. Overall, the place seemed to cater to an older crowd. read more

It's a blessing now when you walk into a restaurant and the table conversations are not competing with the music. Seems to be a trend in Houston and Ouisie's is not the case ! Great food - reasonable price and killer service !Keep up the great work !!! read more

Ouisie's Table in River Oaks provided a truly phenomenal experience for our son and his fiancée's rehearsal dinner. From the very beginning of the planning process and the initial taste test to the final moments of the event itself, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The service was nothing short of impeccable; the staff operated with such incredible synchronicity that no guest was ever without a drink or an hors d'oeuvre, and the plated dinner was served with absolute precision. As hosts, the greatest gift was being able to completely relax and enjoy the evening with our family, knowing every detail was being managed flawlessly. The culinary execution was a highlight of the night, and we offer a huge kudos to the chef for delivering an outstanding meal that tasted every bit as good as our private tasting. The tables were set up beautifully and professionally, creating an elegant atmosphere that felt both sophisticated and welcoming. It is a testament to the staff's excellence that not one single guest had a complaint; instead, our friends and family spent the evening raving about what a wonderful time they were having. Many guests even went so far as to say it was the best rehearsal dinner they had ever attended. We are so grateful to the entire team at Ouisie's for making this milestone celebration so seamless, and I will definitely think of Ouisie's Table first whenever I am planning an elegant evening in the future. read more

I am starting to love everything about this place. It is fine dining for sure but at what I think is still. Reasonable price point (25-40 per person) I ordered the chx fs because its my favorite entree anywhere that serves it and this one did not disappoint. Thin and very tender sliced steak (actual steak yall) battered and fried to perfection that gives that deep color and crunch without being greasy or chewing glass. It was the gravy that was above and beyond. I said to my friend it tasted like it had been whisked ten minutes ago. The little pottery pitcher kept it hot so i could pour as I ate which was fantastic. The mashed potatoes were just okay but i didnt even care because that cfs was so good and i worked up the courage to try that corn pudding and just omg - it had the texture of egg souffle but tasted like savory corn with a hint of heat and was so so yums. Order it. The dining room is tight and I had to turn sideways to get through a few spots even with the tables empty since it was 5:30 on a weeknight but that doesn't bother me either. It is an extremely open dining room so if you want to talk dirt or family drama or business it will be everyone else's business around you but i find that adds to the family feel of the place. Our server Walter was just incredible. On point and helpful and observant and attentive without being intrusive. I would absolutely want to request him again the next time I go! read more

Came in here with a group and was pretty unimpressed when it came to receiving our main course and dessert. I had the salmon with crabmeat, but to be honest, I can cook salmon better at home because the salmon I got was almost a little too salty. Probably the worst part was the dessert. I asked for the raspberry sorbet and someone else in my group did too. My sorbet just tasted like sugary shaved ice and there chunky ice bits in it, suggesting to me that I had been served a sorbet piece that was several months past its sell-by date. The worst part about the sorbet I was served was the color!! The color was sordid to say the least and it reminded me of a women's monthly occurrence. The sorbet (pictured on the left) tasted and looked like a raspberry sorbet dessert SHOULD taste. I don't know who the kitchen manager is, but seriously sir or ma'am, do better. The servers gave us great service, but unless the quality of food improves I won't be coming back. read more

I highly recommend Ouisie's Table for any special event. From my very first email inquiry all the way through the day of my mother's 80th birthday luncheon, the experience was exceptional. Every question was answered promptly, and the planning process was smooth and stress-free. The service was truly first-class, and the food was absolutely delicious. Even weeks later, our guests are still complimenting how wonderful everything was, from the attentive staff to the beautiful presentation. We could not have asked for a better experience. Ouisie's Table helped make a very special celebration unforgettable. read more

Romantic vibe for sure, they have jazz night & specials too! They have a wine special for $35 for 5 glasses. That's a stinkin good deal, make sure you call and ask when those specials are or check the website. Freddie was our server and super sweet! He stayed on top of service through the evening. Calamari - it's not fried, it's also not Olive Garden. Hehe. Flavorful and tasty Scallops - 10/10 would order again Valencia paella; not my vibe but feel free to order and share around the table, I would recommend to order for 1 Desert, we skipped because we had so much wine! read more

My friend and I went to Ouisie's table on a Saturday evening for a girls date. There is valet parking as well as self parking available. The ambiance inside is very nice and family friendly. There was even a live piano player which gave a nice touch for the holiday season. The service was pretty good too as our waiter was very attentive. I wanted to try a variety of their options so I ordered the wedge salad, rockerfeller oysters and crab cakes. The salad was very fresh and the perfect portion. However, the oysters and crab cakes left much to be desired in my opinion. Even if oysters are slightly cooked I've still had versions before that still have that fresh taste, which this did not. I didn't particularly enjoy the flavor or it either. The crab cakes were okay, again just not as savory as ones I've had before so I did feel a little underwhelmed especially because it was a place we had both been really wanting to try. read more

Today, my mom hosted a lovely baby shower for me in a private room at Ouisie's. Sharon Flowers and Eric Hudson were our servers, and they were OUTSTANDING. They were so attentive, kind, professional, thoughtful, positive, energetic, and just plain fun. They truly cared about making the event special for us and for our guests. We had a lot of decor setup and my mom wanted it to be perfect, and they made sure it was. They were even helping with details like making sure guests had their name tags my mom had made, kept us all well hydrated and fed, and timed food well with mingling and the sit-down courses. We stayed for a long time catching up with old friends, and they never rushed us. They even packed up to go boxes for us, helped us load up our decor, and said the kindest things wishing us well for this next chapter as a mom and grandmother. They are truly great people. Ouisie's food and venue is perfect for an elegant baby shower - it was just a dream. Above and beyond! read more

Luncccccch!! Ouisie's Table never disappoints! This is a super cute restaurant nestled in River Oaks. The decor and ambiance gives you a home type feel. When you walk in the restaurant, you can't help but to feel like you are at home! Parking: Parking consists of: Mostly valet only, but the valet will point out a few number of self-parking spots. I'm sure its at your own risk because it's near other businesses. Customer Service: Everyone was nice. From the time you walk in to the door, getting seated, to being waited on. It was top notch. The restaurant was packed this last time so we did wait a bit for the server to come back our way, but when he did, he was pleasant. The Food: OMG! So delish. I am usually a creature of habit, but I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried a different dish. I had Of all of the dishes I have had here, I must say that my favorite is the shrimp and grits. I have been here more than a few times and the restaurant never disappoints. The food is great, the service is spot on, and the dessert is to die for! I will definitely be back!! read more

First time trying Ouisie's yesterday for lunch with my gal to celebrate my birthday. This was a last minute plan so didn't really have the time to research what it is all about. It is nestled in River Oaks and I made a reservation for noon on a Friday. They only have valet parking which costs $5. It wasn't busy when I got there. I was seated promptly on a center table so that was good. While I waited. I was offered water, butter and bread. The ambience was more on the rustic, old money, classic side. There was also an interesting red dress on display. Servers were garbed in their crisp uniforms. The menu was extensive, especially with their wines. They also had a fair share of meat and seafood fare. I ordered the Herb Crusted Sea Scallops with Parmesan Roe and a prosecco. The presentation was nice! Butternut was so good and the green beans that came with it too. However, i must admit that the scallops were way too salty. I didn't want to make a complaint because it was my birthday and that we didn't really have much time at lunch. I wasn't able to really enjoy the seafood side of it. Also, just in case you visit at lunch time... their clientele is mostly on the senior side. Maybe dinner time is different. They had some cute areas to take pictures in for your instagram diaries. They were nice to give me a little birthday dessert also. Price is at par. Don't know if I'd be back due to my salty food experience but I hope the manager sees this. read more
