    Listen let me tell you this every dish my daughter and I had was a 10 out of freaking 10!!!!! That chef kissed that food just right !!! I had been wanting to try the place for while as we been to their sister restaurant "honey hole" nearby so came over to Prey and we did not leave disappointed at all !!! In fact already planning a return !! So beautiful and upscale looking ...... Check out our dishes below !! It was very quiet in terms of ppl Saturday at about 1240 but the playlist was perfect and the volume level just right !! Those suya lamb chops my God !!

    We needed a place to eat before the Cowboy Carter concert so we checked out Prey on Post Oak and really enjoyed the experience. The dark, moody ambiance gave it a cool vibe, and the service was attentive and friendly throughout. The menu is on the smaller side, but everything we tried was packed with flavor. I mean, like, really packed. Seasonings and butter, my two favorite food groups. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the oxtail empanadas were good, and the mac and cheese was macin' and cheesing. Prices are on the higher end, but that's expected for the area. Bonus: it's right above Original Ninfa's. Great spot if you're looking for rich, flavorful food in a stylish setting.

    I went on a Sunday for brunch, and it was a vibe. I will say the service wasn't great. Not that they were mean or anything, but it just seemed a little chaotic--maybe we had a new waiter or something. The food also took a while to come out. That being said, the food was absolutely delicious. The portions were a bit on the smaller side, but the flavors were great. Acadian Shrimp & Grits: 9/10 It was really good! I especially liked the incorporation of spicy andouille sausage and crawfish into the grits. The shrimp were nice and crispy, and the flavor was there. However, I do wish the grits had a bit more flavor and spice throughout, and they skimped a little on the sausage and crawfish. I also got a side of catfish, which was well-seasoned, though it could've been crispier. Surf & Turf: 9/10 It had pretty much the same flavor profile, although it was a lot more filling. The oxtail was mouthwatering and tender--one of the best ways I've seen oxtail cooked in fine dining. Overall, this place is great if you want a brunch vibe and some good food. I'd just recommend ordering an appetizer or side to fill you up. P.S. They also have a lot of great alcoholic drinks lol

    This place is cute, but I wouldn't go back. The cheapest item on the menu was $47, and the food wasn't great enough to justify the price. The server asked if we were celebrating anything, and we mentioned it was our anniversary--but they didn't acknowledge it at all. It was a bit awkward. I ordered the lamb chops, which arrived pretty cold. They were served on a wooden plate with a bunch of greens, and the fried rice wasn't great--3/10. My husband got the hibachi pasta, which was disappointing as well--4/10. There was nothing "hibachi" about it.

    Delicious! Very knowledgeable server! And they had hookah!!! An amazing playlist going. The chef came out for a second and he was hilarious. 100000% worth the price very very good

    Prey is a fine dining restaurant that impresses from the moment you walk in. With a business casual dress code, it sets the tone for an elevated experience, so come dressed accordingly. We chose Prey to celebrate a birthday, and from the start, our waiter was exceptionally kind, offering great recommendations for both food and drinks. I opted for their signature lamb chops, which arrived as a beautifully plated dish of four succulent lamb chops on a bed of seasoned rice. The savory sauce drizzled on top was perfectly balanced, adding a rich depth to the flavors. During the day, the restaurant is bright and airy due to natural lighting, but in the evening, the lights are dimmed for a more intimate ambiance. One unique aspect is the open kitchen, which allows diners to see the chefs in action. However, being so close to the kitchen, it did get noticeably warm and humid in the dining area. While the open concept is interesting, we left smelling of the grill and barbecue - something I wish was less noticeable with a private kitchen setup.

    Server was great, but the greatness stops there. First thing I was greated with was a leaky ceiling that dripped water on my pants. Ordered a Sprite to drink because the cheapest non alcoholic drink was a lemonade ($7) or a soda ($4). I assumed free refills--no, they don't have a fountain. They used cans, flight attendant style. You get a glass of Sprite that the first half of the can was used on someone else's cup an hour ago. Crab hash was okay at best. HEB hashbrowns that were soggy and oily and no crab in sight. And to top it off -- 3% credit card transaction fee. Not even gas stations do that anymore. Skip this place.

    Came to Prey and sat at the bar for 2. Bartender was super sweet and we ordered a lychee martini and it was delicious. The ambiance was nice and they were playing great rnb music for the night. There was hookah available for outdoor seating which you have to walk by all the smoke/hookah to enter into the front entrance. (Probably not great for kids or babies to breathe in) Let's get into the food. (I've dropped photos for reference) - We ordered the oxtail empanadas and I was super excited for these until I broke one in half and I see 99% air and 1% oxtail. From the oxtail I was able to find, the taste was good so I was disappointed on why more than half of the empanadas were close to being empty. Mind you this dish was $16... for air. - our main we ordered the filet king. This was a surf and turf with crab meat, shrimp and scallop. Once we got our dish delivered, we noticed there was no scallop. We ask our bartender to check in with the chef and she comes back to tell us that the chef informed her that they ran out, so he's making us more shrimp. We were thrown off by this because we weren't told about the dish missing scallop until after we had said something/noticed it. The food runner who delivered the dish didn't mention a word about the missing ingredient. We didn't want more shrimp so we politely declined and asked for the scallop to be taken off the tab for the night which they did. Steak was on the thinner side but the flavor and sauce on the steak was delicious. Price was $75. - Side of Truffle Mash, great mashed potatoes, but there wasn't even the smallest hint of truffle.... Price: $11 Truthfully the food wasn't bad in terms of taste. It was just disappointing because the food was not as advertised. The food runners looked like they weren't approachable. And forgot to mention, the women's bathroom had no light switch. So it was completely dark with one toilet stall wrapped in a trash bag. We even tried to activate the light sensor by walking around and jumping throughout the bathroom but nothing happened. There was also an auto 20% gratuity which made no sense for 2 people at the bar.. we were not told of the auto grat until we checked the receipt. All in all, very overpriced for the way the restaurant operated.

    My first time here at PREY . Drinks were A1 . No complaints on that . But let's get into this food . Starting with the crawfish fondue - literally it gave Velveeta with a can of rotelle and crawfish with melted mozzarella on top. The mozzarella cheese that was actually on top was barely melted.. I'm gonna rate that a 3 out of 10. For the oxtail empanadas when they walk out the plate, the oxtail empanadas didn't have any oxtail meat in it, but overall the taste was about a 6 out of 10. I really don't have high expectations. Don't label something as a fondue and it's not a fondue. They definitely could've did better with the empanadas but overall the drinks were the best part if I were to come back, I would literally just come back to sit at the bar for the drinks. See photos . Now, as far as service, our waiter was amazing and the ambience was on point, but I just need the food to match the energy .

    If it sounds good, get it. This was the best experience. Drinks and food were fantastic. The DJ was dropping nothing but hits. The owner is so sweet and very attentive. We ordered a few things and EVERYTHING was superb. We need more businesses like this. 10/10 would recommend this gem

    The ambiance and service were great! But the food was lacking. Majority of our meals came out cold and we had to send them back. The food was pretty bland especially the Imperial Salmon. It also took forever to get the bills. The drinks are also very pricey.

    If you want good food and a nice date night or brunch atmosphere Prey is your spot. My husband and I came here last year for a date night. He got the oxtails and I got a shrimp dish. Both were very good I just wish he had more of the oxtails on his plate...he had 1 big 1. This time I came for brunch and got the shrimp and gritts. My friends got everything else on the menu...I wish I would have taken more pics. The oxtails this time was a very hefty portion and very tasty and def fall off the bone. The chicken wings were soo good and a little spicy which I loved. The drinks are very good but a little pricy I think 18 for a hard liquor drink (but was good and strong) and 8 for a mimosa...that's not too bad. The waiters was great. She had our waters and drinks flowing. I will def be back.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally.

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16.
