Visiting Houston and found Ouisie's on Google. My boyfriend saw they serve paella and decided that's where we were going. The restaurant is beautiful, but we opted to sit at the bar. We ordered a bottle of wine and the bread service was brought. We were off to a good start. We ordered the oyster Rockefeller. They were ok. Nothing special. That's when we noticed that there was no music playing. Weird thing to notice maybe, but music always sets a vibe. Then we noticed how dark and uninviting the bar was. The back bar didn't have any lighting, the painting of the naked lady had a light, but the light was turned off. It's a nice bar, but without good lighting. Once again, the vibe seemed to be lacking. At last the paella Valencia arrived. Beautiful presentation with a purple flower garnish. But, this is in no way traditional paella. It has a few shrimp, which were nicely cooked, a couple of tiny clams, "Spanish chorizo" did not have the deep red color that it typically should, thin pieces of chicken, and very large pieces of practically raw bell peppers. A lot of bell peppers. The rice just tasted like bland yellow rice. Nothing special. Creme brulee for dessert was delicious. Service was decent. read more

My friend and I attended an HRW 3-course lunch, and enjoyed it very much! We've heard good things about Ouisie's Table, and we're excited that we finally got to go! I had the crab cakes, crab-stuffed salmon, and the pot de chocolat. All 3 courses were on the smaller side, but all were full of flavor! The salmon had a scrumptious crust baked into the skin, and the chocolate dessert was so decadent! The mini biscuit and mini cornbread served at the beginning of the meal was also very warm and tasty. Service was on point. I also ordered an HRW lunch to-go and everything was packed just right. Side note: $3 valet parking is available. I'd be interested in attending their 5 courses with wine pairings event! read more

I have been to Ouisie's Table once before for a friend birthday and it was a wonderful experience. So, I had to return when I saw it on the Houston Restaurant Weeks Menú. I began with the crab cakes which were wonderful. I mean, I could have eaten those alone and had been satisfied. For my entree I had the steak medallion with potatoes au gratin and roasted carrots. There was a wonderful arrangement of breads as well. By then I was so stuffed, I requested my tres leches to go. Beyond the food the environment is absolutely lovely and Jesse our water was such a kind and attentive host. I would definitely return. read more

It's a nice environment. They really have that going for them. Food is there. Like they definitely serve it. Whether the flavor is there- personally not my favorite. But it is nice and good service. It's a good spot for dressing up or down. Drinks are good. Not enough to become my regular date night. read more

I had my birthday brunch here. My first time in and it was perfect. There were 10 of us and we ordered several different entrees and they were all delicious, from shrimp and grits, to scallops, chicken and a huge salad. We also ordered cocktails that were fantastic. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly. They brought small plates and forks for the birthday cake we brought in and even lit the candles and cut the cake for us. The restaurant was still decorated for Christmas and was so cozy. We'll definitely be coming back soon. read more

Went with a group of friends for HRW brunch. Let me start by saying the service was great! They were very attentive and amendable. The crab cakes were average and the dessert was fantastic. The pan seared salmon was a let down. It was advertised as being stuff with crab meat, but as you can see in the photo I attached, there was not even a teaspoon of crab meat! Literally a pinch of crab atop the salmon..... FALSE ADVERTISING. The salmon was below average. Overcooked and lacked flavor. everyone who ordered the salad had the same complaint. read more

We had a great meal here, and a great time. Nice and quiet at 5:30 and as the evening went on, it slowly got busier. Great food and beautiful presentation. The only thing I would skip is dessert. The pot crab was extremely sweet. The carrot cake was a little dry and underwhelming. read more

From the moment I arrived I was welcomed with smiling and courteous staff. The service at the table was exceptionally attentive in spite of a busy lunch crowd. Unfortunately the Houston Restaurant Weeks lunch menu didn't have a vegetarian option but I settled on the eggplant Parmesan and I wasn't disappointed! The food came out quickly and hot! I loved the lightly crusted Parmesan on the eggplant which was thinly sliced and generously staked. Instead of serving it with a starch it was plated with spinach that was lightly seasoned. My friend had the shrimp and scallops with squash. I tried her squash which was heavenly. We shared the crème brûlée and thoroughly enjoyed it. A delightful lunch in a beautiful spot with exceptional service. What could be better?! Sorry I forgot to take pictures I was having such a good time! read more

Our wedding at Ouisie's Table went perfectly! We held our wedding ceremony outdoors in the Bear Garden and dinner/reception indoors in Lucy's Porch, with 52 guests total. The managers were extremely friendly and easy to work with. They were always happy to take our calls to answer questions, and they responded very quickly to our emails. They and their staff did all the heavy lifting to take care of details and make sure everything turned out the way we wanted. The food, cake (made at Ouisie's), and service were fantastic, and the venue was beautiful. My wife and I were aiming for a smaller, more tight-knit wedding with a focus on serving good food, and we got exactly what we wanted. If you're planning to have a small wedding, we highly recommend Ouisie's Table! read more

We have always enjoyed our dining experiences at Ouisie's. (brunch, lunch and dinner) Today I brought my book club for our holiday luncheon.

To Be Honest, the food was mediocre. And subpar. I believe that management needs a change. For starters. The initial comment I received would honestly be considered unacceptable for your business. I was greeted about a top I wore. Which to my honest belief, the comment was overall disgusting due to fact that I recognized women with their literal cheeks out. To my surprise that attire was deemed acceptable. Secondly there were about 15 nats & flies that invaded our area. I really felt mistreated and over all disappointed. We sat at a table that that didn't have place cards to scan the menu. Meaning we were passed a menu that had possibly been touched. Which means this restaurant willingly put my health at risk! I really believe due to the amount of nats maybe some of them may have touched our food. I am just in shock that a facility would have such rules about dress code would have standards that is deemed acceptable to have nats in the restaurant. I believe over all the facility needs to be remodeled from the inside out. Meaning Host, Managers, etc! Thanks! read more

I got HRW brunch curbside delivery from here and overall had a good meal and experience. - Crab cakes: really small, a little smaller than a golf ball, but tasty. I liked the corn relish and that you could add lemon, cocktail sauce, or tarter sauce to each bite. - Beef benedict with potatoes: the beef was juicy and the eggs were perfectly poached! I liked the addition of the veggies. The English muffin on the bottom did get pretty soggy so I'd suggest serving those in a separate container next time (Deconstructed benedict). The potatoes were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and had a nice garlicky flavor. - Lemon ice box pie: refreshing end to the meal! Good lemony flavor that had a nice tart/sweet balance - mini cornbread and biscuits: we asked for these after reading other reviews about them, and I recommend doing so! They're delicious and the mini size is so cute! Note: The people were nice, but the curbside delivery wasn't as organized as some other places (no designated parking, called when we got there a couple times but ended up having to go out to get the food, not a big deal just a note). read more

Come out to support the local restaurant during the COViD19. I'm glad the restaurant is doing great with lots of guests but not too sure if I'm pleased with the crowd. Even though all the servers wore masks and gloves during the services but social distancing is not practicing well since the restaurant is packed with customers. Food presentation was disappointing for a high end restaurant. I'm sure they can do better than that. Food was mediocre. Service was good. Our server is a bit too talkative but he did a good job of serving. read more

I have eaten at Ouisie's for many years. The food is always wonderful as is the service. Last night I tried a rather common dish and wanted to see how Ouisie's prepared it. Chicken Scallopini with herbed spaghetti. It was out of this world good. The sauce (maybe au jus?) it was served over was I imagine from pan drippings so it really had a great roasted chicken flavor. The herbed flavor of the spaghetti was perfect and not over seasoned. I can't stop thinking about it. For dessert I got the pumpkin cheesecake with candied pecans around it. Another winner. Can't wait to eat there again. I was there for lunch one time and the meatloaf was also out of the world. Not packed or dense, nice tender texture and the tomato-based sauce was perfect. read more

Went to Ouisie's tonight with my sisters and Dad as I'm visiting from Los Angeles and we wanted to have a fun and delicious family dinner. It was so much fun. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers and meals. Between the the four of us we had fried oysters (the best), crab cakes (perfect), caesar salad, seafood gumbo (my dad loved it). Scallops (juicy and plump). The environment was fun and our server, Danny, and the whole team really know how to take care of their customers and make their parties feel special. Thank you, Danny! Will be back next visit! read more

Years back when I worked in Greenway, my colleagues and I would often go to Ouisies Table with clients. When I found out my husband has never been, it definitely went on the list for our next date night! And it did not disappoint! From the service to the drinks to the ambiance to the food....a good time was definitely had! The relish included with Crab Cakes was the perfect bite to have! I am a self proclaimed aficionado of brussel sprouts...these will go on the Top 3 list for Houston. Full of flavor, soft inside yet still have a crunch outside and the grapes finish them off well! The salmon, fried shrimp and risotto was very fresh, seasoned well but not too much and the risotto was delicious and not too creamy or rich. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal! My husband had the lamp chops and he was very pleased with his meal! The ambiance...the gentleman playing the piano played such a variety of tunes it added a nice touch to date night. We'd planned to go to a lounge for drinks after dinner but didn't need to. If you haven't been to Ouisie's Table be over and are looking for a date night place or even for a family meal or girls night...add this to your list! read more

Attended a wedding at the restaurant during the week, so not a normal dinner out. However this review will still be accurate. When you pull into parking lot they have valet service which is very nice. Restaurant is very nice looking inside and out. They have plenty of elegant seating along with a piano and of course a pianist. Although we had a condensed menu because it was a wedding reception we still had 3 options and they were all excellent. Short rib, trout and chicken and we each shared a taste with each other so we all could taste and see how amazing the food was. Service was excellent and the staff very very professional and served the table just like on Gordon Ramsey tv shows where the servers circle the table than set the plates at the same time to everyone. Very cool! I will definitely return with my GF for a nice dinner out. read more

Always a pleasure dining in this restaurant. From food, service and ambiance. Never fails!

I came here for a girls night out/baby sprinkle dinner, and we had a great time. Service was attentive, and the food was great. I had the scallops, which I enjoyed, but there are several other seafood dishes that also caught my eye that I would be interested in trying next time. One of my friends in our group, who has been here several times, said that her favorite dish is the short ribs and that it is hard for her to order anything else because she is afraid it won't be as good! For dessert, we split the carrot cake and cheesecake. I am a sucker for all things cream cheese, and we also had no problem finishing those! read more

Lovely atmosphere and ambiance and the food was good but we waited a longtime to be served and had different waiters! When we had an issue we had to get up and go find a waiter! The restaurant wasn't super busy! Now our consistent waiter he did his best to help and try to fix any issues! But he wasn't suppose to be our waiter and we never met the person who was suppose to serve us. We were there for a birthday celebration so the service definitely needed to be better. read more

Trinity University hosted a counselor update at Ouisie's and I was excited to attend because I had never heard of, let alone visited this place. They gave us the option of a soup of the day or a salad. The salad had mixed greens, walnuts, and a potato of some sort which I thought was interesting and different, but it tasted good. For our main course they gave us the option of the Grilled Gulf Red Snapper w/ Jumbo Lumped Crabmeat, Shrimp & Cheese Grits, or the Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast. I wanted to try something new so I got the fish and it was very tasty. It came with brocollini and a vegetable risotto cake. To my surprise, the risotto cake was really good, but not delicious enough for me to want to finish all of it. The fish was flavorful and the crabmeat on top was a nice garnish. For dessert, we were given an assortment: Black Magic Cake, Lemon Ice Box Pie as well as Tres Leches. The Tres Leches was probably my favorite; it was moist and flavorful. The Lemon Ice Box Pie was good too. The Black Magic seemed like almost any other chocolate cake but I was happy they gave us a small tasting of each instead of making us choose one. Overall my experience at Ouisie's Table was great! Staff was courteous and thoughtful. Our glasses were never empty and the ambience of the restaurant was nice and quaint. I'll keep this place in mind next time I'm looking for a cute restaurant with great food choices. I can't speak on the prices because everything was taken care of, but trust me, the food was great! read more

Well...not terrible, but not looking to return. We went out with a group of four on a Friday or Saturday night. AMBIANCE It's a lively atmosphere - they had a pianist playing, the place was loud and busy, almost too much so. It seems like the design of the main dining room keeps all the noise in. With everything going on, it was hard to hear our server and even the other people at our table. A (neat?) little touch they have is a large, porcelain dog that 'sits' in empty chairs around the restaurant - an homage to the owner's old dog that used to roam the place. SERVICE We had two servers for our four top, both of whom were attentive and friendly. They've got limited self-park options as well as a (low-priced?) valet. FOOD They bring out a little bread service (assortment of corn breads, etc) with a compound butter - perfectly average. Hard to remember everything we got (very little was memorable), but my partner and I split a caesar salad to start (good), then I got the Chicken Scallopini (good) and he got the Paella Valencia (good). From our table, there was positive feedback on the Braised Short Ribs. We got the pot-de-creme au chocolat for dessert and were disappointed - it was fine as well, but tasted just like any other chocolate mousse. Overall, a very average experience. Truly wanted to like it more based on the reviews. With all the dining options Houston has to offer, this place offers some tradition and quirkiness, but not much else. read more

This is a very nice restaurant with incredibly friendly service and very tasty food. Primarily gourmet southern-style food. It is an upscale place, so be sure to dress nicely. We went on 5/4/19 for a Kentucky Derby-themed three course dinner and had a lot of fun! They paired each course with a different bourbon drink to keep with the theme. There were a few options per course, and all delicious! I had the seafood crêpes, and not only were they unique but also incredibly good. My boyfriend had the southern fried chicken and loved it. read more

Delicious food, friendly service. Atmosphere is a little stale and interior is a little dated. I honestly felt like I was back in the early 1900s. We had a reservation and they were over booked and said it would still be a 30-44 min wait. They offered a drink for the wait which was nice. Despite mentioning the wait time they were still able to get us seated after a much shorter than anticipated wait. The food was delicious but I'm not dying to go back. The little cornbreads and muffins were my favorite part of the meal. Wine is priced decent too. read more

Quite a weird experience here with the server.. Came for Sunday brunch with a reservation. Highly suggest reserving a table as it's very crowded. Anyways, the environment is nice. Very classy, piano man playing nice music, and proper attire staff. However, our server Augusto was rather strange and inattentive. We (party of 4) were waiting for more menus and water for quite some time. He passed by us like 4 times and yet, didn't think to give us the basics. The water finally came and he gave us 1 straw and left... LOL. The rest of us was in awe. The busboy eventually brought us the rest of the straws. My friend received a champaign glass with lip stick stain on it... Lol gross. Asked for a different one. Anyways the eggplant dish and chicken and waffles was pretty good. I liked how they gave us free bread. I think the food was decent. However, the service needs a lot of work.. read more

We've been going to Ouisie's for six years on Valentine's Day. We started with the Crab Cakes which is a definite favorite of mine. Delicious and just the right bite to get you started. I had the Red Fish Tacos and my husband had the Short Rib Benedict. Everything was tasty, not over cooked and came out rather quickly. We ended with a Blueberry Cheesecake, the perfect end to a great meal. Service was great, but my only qualm is the fact the menu did not match what we paid for. Variances or 2-3 dollars on each menu item. We ended up paying for it because it was worth it. read more

Girlfriend took me here for my birthday brunch. The food was delicious but it was hard to enjoy it because it was so incredibly hot inside the restaurant. We were seated by the window so that didn't help at all. We asked them to turn on the fans & as luck would have it, the fan closest to us in the corner was turned off. We asked the waiter to turn on that specific fan & he did so by standing on a chair & pulling on the string. Apparently that fan makes an incredibly annoying squeaking noise so someone turned it off remotely. I assume a little WD40 would fix that right up? I might consider coming back to this restaurant if I bring a personal fan because it's awful having your makeup sweat off, hair matteing to your clammy neck & the back of your thighs sticking to the chair because you're sweating throughout your entire meal. I almost forgot that the parking is only valet. Girlfriend parked the car & just paid the valet guy. Why are we paying to park in a lot that isn't even a parking garage, Ousie?! Valet being the only option really annoys me. Not everyone wants a stranger getting into their car so give folks the option to park themselves. read more

Delicious! Went to a work function here during lunch. Lunch time was actually quite busy on a Wednesday. Parking is not the best and you should expect a good chance to have to pay valet ($3ish not too bad but I hate the waiting). There are a few spots to self park, but it seemed like most spots were reserved for valet. The ambiance was nice and promoted conversation. I will say, the tiny pieces of bread given were ok... not the best. Some people are very into "The bread is the 1st impression!" It's not the star, but the rest of the meal made up for it. I had the Chicken Tortilla Soup, with the Salmon & Crab Meat Entree, and Tres leches for dessert. Everything was cooked and seasoned well. Portions are good and presentations was nicely done. I don't know the pricing since it was a paid luncheon, but food, quality, and service were enough for me to tell my girlfriends to put it in our places to go for GNO. read more

We were shopping in the area and decided to grab lunch become hangry. Ousies was nearby so walked to the restaurant. It was a good decision the lots were packed with two different parties.

Unlike the cobb, the crepes were filled with seafood. We enjoyed both the food and service. read more

This restaurant hit a double whammy! Bad food & service. I came here for a friend's birthday brunch and the food was disgusting for the most part. I ordered the crab cakes and they somehow managed to taste sour. Perhaps the crab meat was spoiled. There was a large group of people at the table and some people sent there food back. The manager was very upset and he did not know how to compose himself. My friend simply told him that her omelet was not fully cook. Instead of fixing it, he tried to explain how omelets are made. We know how omelets work. On the bright side, I ordered a grapefruit mimosa and it was delightful. The setting was welcoming too, but the quality of the food and service overshadow that. The manager is very rude and the food is EXTREMELY UNSEASONED. Go at your own risk. read more
