Came with 3 other friends for Houston Restaurant Week. We made reservations ahead of time with minimal wait times on a week night. Parked in another store after hours or you can valet with $3 recommended tip. Ouisie's restaurant had a great ambiance with a live pianist who played contemporary and classics in the back ground. Our waitstaff were attentive. Food was solid but did not blow me out of the water. I would come back again for the environment! read more

Food was fantastic! Chicken Saltimbocca was fantastic, mashed potatoes to DIE for. The bacon wrapped fillet was fine, not worth the $50. Short ribs were ah-May-zing! Super tender, perfect sauce. Service was fantastic, bar was a little slow but it was a busy Fri night. Great time, great restaurant. Can't wait to go back & try more menu items! read more

Should have looked into the atmosphere. I definitely was not dressed for the atmosphere. White table cloth not too dressy but definitely not vans and tshirt type restaurant smh. Lol next time Ill be better prepared. However food was really really good. Dessert was mediocre though. I've had much better Creme Brûlée elsewhere. Im vegetarian so it was a plus to see multiple vegetarian friendly options. I will come again maybe not frequent but it is cute for date night or birthday dinner. read more

I made reservations for my boyfriend's birthday at Ousie's Table and i loved every moment. it was recommended by Barbra, the concierge at the JW Marriott Galleria. her knowledge of the place made my decision easy and i dont regret it. Our server was also knowledgeable of the wines and was able to answer any questions we had. I love her attentiveness and recommendations lol. Food: for our appetizer we had the crab tower - so goood. the crab was fresh and im a fan of the avocados being the base lol yummm. for me - i had the seafood crepes and i recommend it! I would be careful, it was a little salty for my liking. for my bf - he had the rainbow trout with crab meat. all i can say that the plate was empty. Wine: we order a bottle of the poema rose cava brut - big fan of rose - and it was nice and light read more

Best crab cake in Houston. The filet is perfectly cooked and seasoned. I enjoy going to Ouisies for work dinners and lunches. It's a great spot around the holidays. People definitely dress up here so don't go under dressed unless you want to stand out. read more

Not impressed. Came for breakfast and it was terrible. Service... Bla.... Food... Out of a can and Walt mart box. I can get a better hash Browns from heb... Not worth my money and time!!! Don't open for breakfast if you are not going to serve quality food for the price you are charging Wafi!!! read more

Service (including upper management) is awful. No one wants to help you and your party and pricing is outrageous.

My husband and I went to Ouisie's on a Friday date night. We had a wonderful time! I ordered the Parmesan Crusted Rainbow Trout with Jumbo Lump Crabmeat and he ordered the Blackened Rib Eye. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. Giving four stars rather than five because our water glasses had lipstick stains, but everything else from the atmosphere to the food was fantastic. read more

I went for Sunday afternoon brunch with 4 friends. The atmosphere was very nice and classy with a relaxed and peaceful vibe. I was pleasantly surprised to see a pianist in the main dining area and there seemed to be several private party dining areas. There were only 3 different dishes between the 5 of us and we were ALL very pleased!! However the best part of our experience was the excellent customer service provided by our server Theresa Aguilar!! Her service elevated the experience and I definitely plan to return... read more

The atmosphere here is elegant with a good wine selection. I was disappointed that their chips with the chicken salad sandwich were greasy.

I would have given them a five but I found two large pieces of crab shell in my crab Benedict. We had a medium sized group and the service was top notch. Our waiter helped us take pics in their lovely garden area and was attentive to everyone's needs. It's definitely a place to have a nice intimate meal or something as large as a baby shower. read more

Overall, the food is good, but the service was not so friendly. Maybe it was just our waiter. He never introduced himself and did not even have a slightest sign of smile. Long story short, it took close to 3 hrs to have a dinner because the waiter just kept disappearing. Also, to everyone's surprise he added 20% automatic tip onto party of 5. Not sure if that's their policy but anyway his service was not worth 20%. read more

The food was good and the service was excellent -- that is after dealing with the Valet manager and his claim to the entire parking lot JUST for Valet. I won't be back. read more

I was very disappointed with the service I got at my baby shower this past weekend, so much so I would give them a zero if I could. First of all, the chalkboard was not completed in the main room until almost 11am which was the time the party began. According to the event package it says the room would be completed at least 30 min before the event, that was not the case in my event. I was told they had placed the wrong party name on the board (it was another parties name) after they received the event contract with all the information. That's absolutely ridiculous and not professional at all. The food was good but service was incredibly slow. All the tables at my event where basically served at different times. When the last table got their food the first tables that were served were already done eating. I do understand 3 parties were going on, but it should not have taken over an hour for food to come out to everyone from when the food was ordered. They were well aware of how many people were attending my party from the contract so I'm not sure why there was such a lack of service and professionalism. The wait staff also was incredibly rude and did not take care of my table well at all. After my experience here I'm not sure I would make this a place to host an event nor would I recommend this to anyone. read more

Got married! My wife and I chose Ouisie's Table for its intimate Southern style: Lucy's Porch was the perfect match. Since our reception was going to be fairly small (~70 people), we booked that part of the restaurant and the outside cocktail area to host a cocktail hour before the arrival of bride and groom. During the planning process, we were impressed by the all-hands-on-deck approach of the Ouisie's team, but especially Frances' patient and careful planning. Her communication was excellent, and lifted a lot of burden off our shoulders thinking about details. The wedding night went wonderfully. The servers came out in a coordinated fashion, the food was hot and delicious, and our guests had a great time. Finance-wise, we actually ended up paying less than we were planning on, so they definitely do try to meet you where you are! read more

Always a favorite. A birthday lunch for my wife. They do the little things ... jalapeño cornbread and herbed biscuits to start, shrimp and smoked salmon appetizer, then scallops, seafood crepes, and chicken scaloppini. Finished with pumpkin cheesecake. Impeccable service read more

My spouse and I went to dinner on Saturday night at Ouisie's and were seated next to a large party of young patrons, dinning as a group. Although they were very well behaved, I found that I could barely hear my spouse speak who was seated right next to me. Without me having to say anything, a manager, Edoardo Amali, came by asked if we would like to be reseated because he and noticed that I was struggling to hear. I was pleasantly surprised at the attentiveness of the staff and their kindness. I am simply not use to such impeccable service, even at fine dining establishments. We changed seats and proceeded to have a suburb dinner. If you want a dining experience that includes amazing food and equally amazing service, then this is the spot to go! read more

I had brunch with my daughter today and it was awesome!! I had the best salad and on top of it all it was restaurant week. Mona was our server and she is the BEST!!! Ask for her when you come and eat here read more

Came here for brunch after we discovered Tiny Boxwood's was closed. Our first impression: this is much fancier than what we were going for. The lot is valet only, the décor and the service all seemed extremely upscale and fancy. I was surprised to see that all the menu items were fairly affordable, so that was a nice surprise. There was an ugly chalkboard menu that was extremely poorly designed and completely stood out in the middle of all the nice white cloths. The food was disappointing. Our meal started with the complimentary bread, which was probably the best part of my meal. Crab Caesar salad (2/5) - the crab meat tasted like it was dumped straight from a can. The lettuce was just thrown onto the plate, and then overloaded with anchovies and croutons. The deviled egg was probably the only good part of the salad. And the Caesar dressing they use is pretty good. Chicken Fried Steak (1/5) - I would say I could make CFS better than this, and I don't even cook. The breading came completely off of the steak, which was rough and dry. The mustard greens had absolutely no flavor, and the mashed potatoes were too buttery. The gravy that was served on the side had to be loaded with salt and pepper for it to even taste decent. Maybe we just chose bad items off the menu, but this was truly a disappointment. The only thing that made it an okay meal was the fact that our server was extremely attentive and the atmosphere was nice. But don't let that fool you. read more

Hearty brunch on a sunny Sunday? Look no further than Ouisie's Table. I came here for a bridal shower brunch, and the food, drinks, service, atmosphere in "Lucy's Porch" and company couldn't have been more perfect. Mimosas were stiff (I limited myself to one), and our three-course meal (my choice of crab cakes, shrimp and cheese grits and tres leches cake) left most of us gals in a food coma. Crab cakes were no Monarch and the grits were very heavy, but that certainly didn't stop me from cleaning my plate despite guilt-filled bite after guilt-filled bite! There was plenty of room in this private area for the bride to open her many gifts, ladies to mingle and share a few laughs without disturbing diners in the other area. I'd love to come back for a dinner on the patio. Kids' menu offered. Valet is $3. They do small dinner parties and larger events such as weddings. read more

So this review is not based on their food but on possibly having a wedding reception there. Please read if you're considering this as a reception venue... First of all, I've seen Ouisie's Table in several publications in my recent bridal frenzy. Me and my fiance then attended Camp for All's Camp Culinary Challenge (side note: I HIGHLY recommend this event, please go it's for a great cause) and they were a sponsor for the mac and cheese challenge. I'm not sure of his name, but I talked to a dark haired younger guy who was really great but works for the restaurant part not the wedding part. So, I emailed their wedding coordinator the next day who was always kind of slow about returning emails and whenever I did ask specific questions she sent me generic information that I'm sure she copies and pastes to everyone. My very first email to her she emails over a contact type form saying they need a credit card to reserve. I'm sorry but that's rude, I haven't even seen the space, you haven't answered any of my questions and the first impression I'm getting is that all you want is to lock me in and get my money. Well, we still had a good overall impression at the time and went by on a Saturday to check out the space. I met the restaurant manager and again the dark haired guy, who were really nice and helpful. They were setting up for a wedding and specifically told me the wedding was for 140 guests and they were setting up the main dining room and lucy's porch. It looked beautiful! But red flag, wedding coordinator wasn't there... So Monday, I email the wedding coordinator... she doesn't email me back until a day later. I tried to call her several times throughout this ordeal and never got a hold of her either the restaurant wasn't open yet, she was in a meeting, or she wasn't available. The price was really good and we really loved the space and we wanted to book it but when I went to finalize everything (I was wanting the main room and lucy's porch) they say I have to have a guest count of 180 when their contract says the minimum for the main room is 75 and lucy's porch is 55 (130 total) and the wedding we saw being set up had both rooms and we were told the guest count was 140... HMMM seemed fishy to me so we decided to go with another venue. I was really disappointed and no where does it say in any of the contract or literature they sent over that there is a 180 guest minimum for both rooms. The wedding coordinator also never thought to mention that until we got really close to locking in with them. Needless to say, I felt like this was extremely deceiving especially when this differs from what is presented in printed materials... Another side note- the girl who does the flowers is also really awesome and helpful. TLDR Staff seems great but wedding reception seemed a lot like a bait and switch to me. 2 stars because everyone besides the wedding coordinator was really, really nice. read more

The table ordered a few appetizers to split. We didn't much care for the calamari as it was hard to determine what was actually the calamari. Some of it was breaded and some of it wasn't. Lind of confusing for sharing. We all really enjoyed the oysters Rockefeller. It was prepared and served perfectly. I wasn't very impressed with the sesame crusted scallops served over butternut squash with asparagus. It was served with only three scallops and the asparagus was literally one asparagus sliced in half. I just felt that this dish was not a very good value compared to all of the other dinners. The low country boil was a very good value served with at least two of the following shrimp, scallops, mussels & clams in a red broth with potatoes & carrots. All of the seafood was tender and not to chewy. I would definitely order that again. The wine selection is very nice, although the server was constantly refilling our wine glass (like after every sip) it felt a little pushy. This is a pretty nice restaurant and I would definitely return next time I'm in the area. But I would caution anyone against ordering the Sesame Crusted Scallops. read more

Nice atmosphere but don't understand why we have to do valet parking. The whole parking lot was empty.

I don't spend much time on the talk threads anymore. But recently there was an actually useful post made about Mother's Day. I saw a few recommendations that I had not tried and the one that shined the most was Ouisie's. That and the fact they they still have reservations for Mother's Day a week out. They were filling up fast but we were able to grab a spot at 2:15 pm for brunch. We arrived on time and just had to wait a few minutes before we were seated. This place is very interestingly decorated. Random eclectic mixed with class and glam. The meal started out with an order of crab cakes, it comes with a set of 3, which worked out well because it was myself, my gf and her mother. They were crispy and stuffed with crab. The sauce that accompanied it gave it a little kick. As far as entrees went I had the smoked pork chop that came with mac and cheese and green beans. The smokey flavor was intense in a good way. My gf had the stuffed herb crusted salmon with artichokes. I had never had salmon stuffed before, was a different touch. My gf's mother had the seafood crepes. It comes out piping hot and served on a double plate. It was packed full of crab and various seafood. One of my favorite parts of the meal is their assorted breads. My favorite was the brown one which was a little sweet, the cornbread has a touch of spice, and the basic biscuits were solid too. We finished our meal with the vanilla ice cream stuffed puffs covered in chocolate sauce. It was the little bit of sweetness to end the meal. What made the entire experience complete was they gave the mom's a flower as they walked out. read more

Ouisie's Table was my last HRW of 2016 so it holds a special place in my heart. I went for lunch. Located in Highland Village, the parking lot immediately adjacent to the restaurant was valet only ($3). When you have a large parking lot and you make it valet, especially for lunch, you will automatically lose a star in my book. There were open spots next to Relish Foods which has closed down. The valet is no surprise as Ouisie's is an upscale restaurant. The service is professional and was prompt until the end when it took longer than it should have to get me my check. For my first course, I had the crab cakes. Two small crab cakes with a tomato/corn salad and two sauces artistically splattered on the plate. Not a huge portion by any means but it was tasty. For my second dish, I had the pork medallion, cooked medium, with garlic mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The pork was marinated in a sour cherry sauce that was just sweet enough and just tart enough to work well with the pork. The mashed potatoes were also solid but I don't recommend making out with someone after eating these bad boys. Ouisie's is a good date spot and has a long history in Houston. My date today was my computer. read more

We had a rehearsal dinner at ousies. What an amazing time everyone had. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. People were so happy.

Sheer perfection! We had to postpone my daughter's wedding in Maui due to the shutdown. She wanted to be a June bride because I was a June bride as well as my sister and my mother. On June 18, 2020 she found Ouisie's Table online and she called them the next day. She spoke with Adam. He advised her on all that he could do for an intimate wedding. They communicated with us over the next six days...June 27, 2020 they were married in the outdoor courtyard of the wedding! It was a perfect evening. Bride and Groom cocktails, delicious food, excellent service and a gorgeous and scrumptious wedding cake! We were so pleased with the wedding. The service and attention to detail was excellent. My friends said it looked like we had spent a year planning the wedding. Did I mention the food was delicious? It was just sheer perfection! read more

I've heard a lot about Ouisie's and went to give it a go with some friends. Overall, the food was a big disappointment. The waiter even completely forgot the gravy for the chicken fried steak.

Even though my husband and I are native Houstonians, we had never been to Ouisie's Table until recently. I expected very heavy Southern food (Shrimp and Grits, Chicken Fried Steaks), and there was a lot of that, but the quality of the seafood really blew me away. I had Seafood Crepes stuffed with shrimp, crab and snapper meat. I expected this to be quite rich, but the seafood was still very tender and not overcooked or soggy under the sauce. The crepe held up well and didn't just rip apart when I started cutting into it. Our favorite part of the meal, however, was dessert. The Pot-de-Crème came in a small cup and didn't look very impressive at first, but it was extremely rich and intense. We ordered a couple of cappuccinos and couldn't be happier. The surprise was the little biscotti served on the side - I would pay good money for that recipe! If you want to skip the valet, turn right as soon as you get into the parking lot into a small side area to self-park. Not a far walk to the entrance at all, and you save a few bucks. read more

3.75 Stars for Brunch. When you think of a the traditional style, fancy brunch spot, with a piano being played live and all the trimmings, Ouisie's is the embodiment of that image. First off, $3 valet. If you're lucky like I was, you can find your own parking. I parked near Cotton Club in one of the few spaces that wasn't marked being reserved 7 days a week. I had called early to make a reservation but they said it was slow and we didn't need one. A couple hours later when we went, I wish I had made that reservation. We waited maybe only 15-20 minutes. Not bad. We were shown to our table and ordered drinks. Mimosa for me and the Southern Bloody Mary for my friend. This is where it pays to read the fine print. I blame myself for not catching it, knowing she'd hate the taste of Southern Comfort (hence the "Southern" in the drink name). The taste of the SoCo comes and goes. Along with the little bread / mini muffin appetizers they give to each table (I liked them), we ordered the Crispy Fried Gulf Oysters. My first time ever trying fried oysters and I can't complain. They were pretty good! I ordered the "Best Eggs Benedict" and she got the "Shrimp and Cheese Grits". I didn't hear any complaints about the shrimp and grits. My only critique on the Benedict was that it was not the "Best" as they named it. It was lacking flavor and was a very basic Eggs Benedict. Maybe it needed seasoning, though I usually never add anything more because I believe in eating it as the Chef prepared it. It did come with a side of cheesy grits and some brunch fruit which were very good. Overall we enjoyed it. The atmosphere, the sound of the piano, the decor, the look of the enclosed patios (it was a chilly day, few people were eating outside). Food could of been better, however one reason we picked this spot was the large variety of the menu. So we will probably be back at some point. read more

Great atmosphere, service and great food. I had the scallops and my wife had a chicken dish. My complaint-the noise level is so high you can't have a conversation for any length of time. We ate dinner and left for another venue for dessert because we were all worn out from trying to talk above the crowd. I know restaurants do this to create a buzz but it's a major distraction for a dinner with friends or a business gathering. Next time we will order food to go and sit in our suv in the restaurant parking lot of and enjoy the food and the conversation. Really. read more

I somehow missed the memo about Ouisie's. I first learned about this place when ABC 13 did a story promoting Houston Restaurant Weeks. Ouisie's was featured in the piece. After seeing the story, I just had to try this place out. I'm always weary during HRW because I feel like some places don't put forth their A game. Luckily I had a wonderful dining experience. My girlfriends and I came here for brunch a few weeks ago and opted for the HRW brunch menu. To start, I ordered the Golden Glamour (champagne, passion fruit tea, vanilla liqueur). It was different but pretty good. I had the pear salad for the first course. It was good; very light. For the entree, I had the chicken fried chicken with a fried egg (over hard). It came with cream gravy, green beans, and a biscuit. The eggs and chicken were fabulous!! The green beans weren't bad (cooked al dente which I like). The biscuit was a little too flat for my preference. I like fluffy biscuits. This one seemed a little too dense. For dessert, we were planning on ordering one of the selected desserts on the HRW menu plus the Tres Leches cake in addition because my friend kept raving about how good the Tres Leches cake is. Well to our surprise, they were out of cheesecake. Our server Elliot was nice enough to let us order the Tres Leches cake in place of the cheesecake. We also had the Texas peach cobbler which was topped with vanilla ice cream. The cobbler was good, but the Tres Leches cake was out of this world. Tres Leches cake is absolutely one of my favorite desserts on the planet. This just might have been the best Tres Leches cake I've ever had. I seriously want to go back just for dessert. The HRW brunch is $25 which is an excellent deal, but I would come here for a special occasion (or for dessert). The one downside is the forced valet, but it's only $3. They had some parking in front of some nearby businesses that were closed (on a Sunday). I'm not sure where you would park during the week when those businesses are open, but be prepared to valet your car. Either way it was a great dining experience, plus I was able to continue to the Houston Food Bank. A win for everyone! read more

The mediocre reviews really lowered my expectation so after a good dinner experience, I was quite pleased. I came here for a dinner event so I won't comment on the service, as I would expect it to be on par. As for the food, I ordered the following from the preset menu: - Baby arugula and fig salad: OK..nothing special - Grilled wild salmon topped with crawfish and tomatoes: large portion, loved the sides of wedge potatoes and green beans, the tomato flavor was good - Raspberry sorbet (the options were really key lime pie or tres leches, but since I can't consume gluten, the server offered me the sorbet instead): most people ordered the key lime pie, and it looked great; whereas, the tres leches looked dry. In terms of the ambiance, I thought it was going to be a hip, trendy place. However, the restaurant was pretty quiet and intimate with dim lighting even with a bar on the side. The ambiance in the dining area and the outdoor patio created a romantic vibe, which I liked. It appeared to cater to the older crowds as I noticed most of the customers were in their 50s+. I think this could be an option if you're looking to bring someone for a romantic dinner. Note that valet is $3. However since this restaurant is located in a shopping center, there are other spots you can park in that aren't blocked off - just pay attention to the signs. read more

I've been here several times for brunch and it is still one of my favorite places to frequent here in Houston. This place makes a great weekend or girly brunch. The best part is 14$ bottomless mimosas, bellinis, or champagne. My favorites are the cornmeal pancakes and the Benedict plates. The staff is also very nice, prompt, and knowledgeable and have yet to have a bad experience. This place is usually pretty packed for brunch so it's best to think ahead and book a reservation. Valet is 3$ suggested or you can park in the lot. read more

So far best HRW Restaurant I have dined at. Appetizer: I enjoyed my crab cakes, perfectly crispy and the sides and sauce that came along with it blended perfectly. Main Course: The shrimp & cheese grits (first time I ever had grits) were bursting with flavor. It has bacon. Who doesn't love bacon? My sister ordered the braised short rib au jus - it was so tender and falling off the bone. Dessert: The tres leches melted so sweetly in my mouth, and the grand marnier dark chocolate cake had the perfect chocolate richness. Drink: I had the strawberry basil martini which was excellent! Service: Not only was the food great, the service was top notch! Our waiter was so friendly and joked around with us, we felt really comfortable. No long waits and staff was welcoming. I really enjoyed the pianist and double bass violinist? We even requested a song. It was an awesome dining experience and I left with a full happy tummy. read more
