Latonia was so sweet and very attentive. the food drinks and music was amazing. I'm coming back just to see her!!!

This was my first time trying this place and they did NOT disappoint! From the moment we entered, the service was amazing! My cousins and I had reservations for a cousin's dinner since 2 of us are visiting Houston! Check in was seamless and it was lightly packed, so there wasn't much of a wait. Once seated, we were immediately greeted, given water and informed our waitress would be with us soon. She appeared shortly after, with welcome shots -- compliments of the house! I don't remember my servers name, but her service was amazing -- she was very tentative, friendly, and took good care of us! Because we planned to share, we ordered the shrimp and crawfish spinach artichoke dip, the parm fries, and the trio pasta with two lamb chops on the side. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD!! The food came out pretty fast and was soooooo fresh! There was meat in every bite of everything and every flavor complimented the next. I loved the bread they had with the dip, that was different than I was used to having but I loved it! The pasta was so flavorful and the spice wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. The lamb chops were made to perfection!!! Everything about the place was amazing. They had music playing, then a live dj joined and they were raffling red bottoms, lol. They also had the ceiling open -- so I was able to look up and see some stars while enjoying my time. We also got a hookah -- which was cool because it added to the vibes! Will be revisiting whenever I'm in town again! Absolutely can't wait to try them in Chicago next! read more

Listen. I'm weeks late, BUT my sister and I came here before the Kehlani concert and babyyyy!!! I could've stayed til closing. First off, the ambiance? Top tier. Really chill vibe for a happy hour, date night, girl's night, or just a moment to yourself. The music was perfect for the vibe. Secondly, our waitress Yaya was amazing. She was sweet and very knowledgeable of the menu. Everything she recommended was amazing! We got the fried lobster tails, crab cake egg rolls, steak frites and lamb chops. All 20/10! And baby don't get me started on the butter cake! Yall. Just go. Words don't do any justice! read more

Okay so I went here with my wife for her birthday. Positives They made it memorable and enjoyable! We enjoyed the ambience, the service and for the most part the food. I particular enjoyed the Seafood trio. I added a lamb chop. Very tender and fair portioned lamb chop. The seasoning was so fire that I feel like I may have to recreate Lord willing. My wife got the Pasta Mardi Gras and she actually preferred that. The portions were massive. We could've split an entree but we wanted to try separate stuff and decided to split those entrees. They also got us complimentary shot and ice cream for her birthday! Enjoyable evening. Negatives They add cinnamon on the lamb chop to give it a sweeter taste and as a spice, it could've worked in theory. It just didn't. It didn't blend well but could be overlooked because it was still good tender lamb. I would skip on adding cinnamon next time. We also got this place as a recommendation and I didn't do proper research to see it was part hookah lounge. I didn't care for the smell and if I could've done this differently I would've asked for a seating that didn't have to sit next to others that used hookah. (Forgot to note this) Parking is not free. The closest parking is $25 to park or the next closest is $10 parking but a 5min walk. read more

I wanted to see what the hype was all about. The vibe was ok. I'm not a fan of hookahs. The food was ok. It's more like for a younger crowd. The dress code seems to be just about anything. Lastly, you get a search down before going in. read more

A very elegant, upscale restaurant option in the Heights area. I love that they have a saxophonist on Tuesdays that plays current, trendy songs. They host "Sips and Cinema" where they show a movie on their big screen above the bar area while the guest dine. They host a giveaway every Thursday where they raffle off a pair Christian Louboutin red bottoms (fancy right?!) & they even offer brunch on Sundays. It's also impressive how big Provaré is. There is booth seating available outside and inside along with tables and bar seating. I also love how they welcome guests with a glass of champagne as well as their "welcome shot". This place is truly hospitable and provides great service. read more

My first brunch experience in Houston! I absolutely loved the ambiance--it was classy, upscale, and had a really nice vibe. Upon arrival, just a heads-up: parking is not free.There's a parking lot behind the building and another one on the side. I'm not completely sure of the exact price because I thought the sign said $10, but I believe it ended up being $15. There is also security at the door. I actually appreciated that because it seemed like they were there to help maintain a safe environment for everyone and make sure no weapons or other prohibited items were brought inside. I made a reservation for 2 PM and was seated pretty quickly. My waitress, Yaya, was AMAZING! She knew the menu like the back of her hand and did a great job explaining what came with each entrée I ordered, as well as the drinks. She was very attentive and made sure I was taken care of throughout my visit. They also offer hookah, but I was seated in an area where no one was smoking, so it didn't bother me at all. The only issue I had was the temperature. It was VERY warm inside, which made it a little uncomfortable at times. Other than that, I had a great experience and would definitely come back! read more

This place is such a vibe - from the decor to the music and overall ambiance. Being a true Houstonian, I appreciated the nod to the Houston-themed drinks We got seated immediately and welcomed with Westheimer shots (frozen cocktail) that reminded me of a lemon drop so a bit on the sweeter side but very refreshing. I followed that with the Bellaire (espresso martini) that was a yummy I got the smash burger (with the lobster and garlic Parmesan fries) - yes all that is included in the menu price of $30 which is a deal on its own and even more so when I tasted this plate. The fries were so crispy and SO good, not too salty and very addictive. I almost cleared my fries basket before I actually tried the burger itself. The burger was delicious, very hearty with generous lobster pieces. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, my only wish was for a bit more aioli on the burger so I could really get the full flavor of everything all together. I can't wait to return to try more menu items! read more

Provare is consistently delicious, the ambiance is great, and I've never had bad service. I've been a few times for dinner. They always greet you with a welcome rum shot... my favorite things on the dinner menu include the crabcake egg rolls and the pasta trio. Their lamb chops are also really good. My favorite cocktail is the Montrose... It is kind of like a cherry limeade almost. The drinks are kind of average and strength. But if you like strong I feel like the River Oaks is up there... I also love their happy hour. I have been to their happy hour maybe twice now... I realized as I'm writing this that I must really like this place because I don't repeat places that often but this one I do. They now have brunch and we were welcomed with an espresso martini type of shot... I believe it was frozen. The brunch was decent but I love that they have a bottomless mimosa option that is worth the money. My go to for brunch would be the steak and eggs. The only con is the fact that you have to pay $20+ for parking or try to find free street parking. You can also park in front of the restaurant during certain hours for free or pay the meter. Check all the signs because they will boot you in that area. read more

I enjoyed this place. Black-owned business and all are welcome. There is a dress code to adhere to. Saw several people having celebrations at the restaurant and locals filling up the bar. I recommend making reservations as it can get pretty busy inside. There is an outside lounge area with cabana style seating, which probably looks great lit up at night. The food was delicious and the portions were hearty enough to take home for leftovers. There is also the option to order Hookah for those who indulge. A nice addition to Houston! read more

Provare' Houston was an absolute experience from beginning to end! The ambiance was beautiful, the service was exceptional, and the food and drinks were INCREDIBLE!! Every dish was flavorful, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The cocktails were top tier and paired perfectly with the entire dining experience. You can truly tell that attention to detail goes into everything they serve. Whether it's a date night, girls' night out, or a luxury dining experience, Provare' Houston is definitely a place I would highly recommend. Can't wait to return! read more

We had a great experience at Provare for my friend's bachelorette dinner. The restaurant is very elegant and perfect for a date night or dinner with the girls. The wait staff were also all very kind and helpful (even when we needed our photoshoot outside). I had the Mardi Gras pasta and the Montrose cocktail. The presentation and taste was great for both. Everyone food looked great, and there were no complaints. Definitely recommend! read more

Visited on a Thursday which is R&B night. It's very well decorated and the ambiance is 10/10. The staff is very attentive and friendly. They serve these complimentary espresso martini shots to get the party started, that are delicious. The menu is a bit limited which is not a bad thing, I just wish there were more non seafood options. For example offer a version of the spinach dip without seafood. The portion sizes are pretty good. I would definitely go back read more

Second time at this location. Glad the parking lot has finally been fixed last time it was full of craters; my cousin almost broke her ankle in heels. I've ordered the same meal at both the Chicago and Houston locations for dinner . The infamous seafood trio & the spinach & artichoke dip. The pasta is pretty consistent between both locations. In Chicago we had the option to add lamb chops for about $6 a piece. However, the spinach dip in Chicago comes with garlic bread. So i was surprised when the app hit the table in housing. I thought the kitchen made a mistake but it just doesn't come that way. It really takes away from the dish. One thing I'd like to mention is the welcome shot. Not sure what it is but it's tasty. The cocktails are also cute and delicious. This most recent visit I tried put their brunch. I went with one of my favorite foodies so we shared three items . We eased in with the crab cake eggrolls. No lie, I wanted to order another one just for myself. I'd go back for that alone. We were on some true big back behavior after being influenced by an IG video so we wanted something savory and something sweet. Both the shrimp po boy and chicken & waffle looked good! Indeed they were. The bread on the po boy was soft and fluffy not dry at all. Shrimp cooked to perfection and the perfect amount of remoulade to balance it all out. The waffle seemed simple but somehow after sighs we both had one more bite. Safe to say provare is a solid option for brunch or dinner. **only reason I'm not giving a 5star is because the parking has been a hassle both times. *The QR code or link doesn't want to open * cement was unbearable * it forced me to pay for 12 hr parking * the staff says oh sometimes it doesn't work but they do tow (as if there's another option) So now you're fighting to pay instead of enjoying your experience with friends/ family etc. read more

I came to Provare with a friend for brunch. It has a very upscale appearance with a grown and sexy vibe. It's an Italian Creole fusion restaurant however I'd say that the brunch menu has primarily traditional brunch options. My server Yaya came very quickly to get my order an offer me there complimentary frozen espresso shot called the Sugarland. Heads up but on Sundays the kitchen closes at 3pm and reopens at 4pm for dinner service. I decided to get the chicken and waffles which was very tasty. The waffles were sweet and fluffy, almost didn't need syrup. The chicken wings were hot, fresh and well seasoned. If you enjoy hookah that is also offered. Great vibe and good food. read more

The Hubs and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary here and we're so happy we did. Didn't make reservations so we were seated at their table booths outside. Mind you there are fans blowing so sitting and eating outside was not bad. We were greeted with a complimentary shot of their new drink which was fruity delicious but I opted to order The Washington and the Hubs ordered The Woodlands bka a smoked old fashioned. Miy drink was served with a smile, his was in a smoky gift box LOL. Appetizers....yes indeed! We ordered salmon eggrolls and the seafood artichoke spinach dip. Both were 10/10. The cheesiness of the dip, the soft buttery bread,and they shonuff didn't skimp on the seafood. For entrée, i ordered the steak and it came with garlic fries. Wished I ordered another side instead. The steak was very good. The Hubs ordered the seafood trio pasta with a.....a $12 lambchop. The pasta was rich with flavor and full of shrimp, lobster, and crawfish. The lambchop was deliciously juicy. He wished he had more. We ended the night toasting with complimentary champagne and an anniversary ice cream dessert. read more

After attending a Yelp Event, I decided to stay and order a few dishes and get the full experience for myself. So glad I did bc the experience was Everything ..sat at the bar and had the most amazing time! DJ playing all the right jams and a saxophonist playing along throughout the night the live music. Let's begin with the ambience.. big screen tv's at the bar playing all the classic brown people films, beautiful waiters and waitresses serving up the delicious cocktails, and very welcoming decor to invite You in to enjoy no matter the hour or occasion. Here You will find a well thought out menu and Cajun inspired dishes. I had the pleasure of speaking with the chef who recommended the lemon pepper chicken and it did not disappoint. He also recommended I try the butter cake and My God was it divine! Every bite was buttery and delicious! I sat at the bar and while waiting on My food which I'd actually ordered to go I had a few shots along with My cake as I was told it's better to have the real experience. It's true! There was ice cream on top but I couldn't give it much attention bc the cake was out of this world but together it is a perfect duo. My bartender Shai was so sweet I hope She's there when I return for My next visit. I ordered the salmon egg rolls to go as well and they were just as good as They were at the Yelp event. An explosion of flavor in your mouth every time. There is a patio with plenty of seating and fans to cool you off during warmer temperatures. The restroom was very clean with nice esthetics as You enter. I have no complaints. I look forward to supporting this black owned business again soon and so should You if You're looking for a good chill vibe and food. There was hookah offered but in no way does it take away from the fine dining experience. I'm told parking can be expensive in the area and from experience of visiting the XO the week prior I can say that may be true. It varies I believe on the day and parking lot You choose. I caught a Lyft to prevent having to drive and park so that's always option of course. Especially if You plan to indulge in the delicious cocktails! Thanks Provaré for a delightful evening! See You next time .. read more

I wanted to visit this place because I knew they had a location in Chicago. They've been opened close to a year now, but I ended up going during the first weekend of March, right when they just launched their brunch menu. I appreciated that the menu was straight to the point and not overwhelming. You want to keep parking in mind, it is a paid location. There are plenty of signs everywhere about towing and how to park. Even when we came to the front the hostess asked did we pay for parking. So it showed me don't bypass it. The waitress came and offered complimentary shots. The food came out and I didn't try any cocktails. The food was delicious I tried the chicken and honestly, if they offered an option for just wings, I would definitely order that because it was tasty. Overall, great vibes and worth checking out. read more

Provare is beautiful! The ambiance is there for sure .. very elegant , great music , hookah , food and vibes . The service was great as well my waitress was very informative and sweet . Now they start you off with a welcome shot ! Niceeee but was not good . We started off with the Caesar salad and it was about a six out of 10. The Doritos kind of threw us off. So it tasted more like Dorito and salad. We did have the lobster bisque pasta, which was pretty good, but it was way too spicy. I probably would've got something else how known that it was that hot. The Italian beef pizza was okay , it honestly was a bit dry, but I do understand the logistics of what they were trying to create. I think if there was some cheese on the side, it may have been good. Overall, the food to me was about 7.5 out of 10. I will be coming back to try some other things, but if I had to compare this location to the Chicago location, the food is totally different as far as taste. I didn't really get much flavor. On another note the manager, the woman is not that nice like at all. read more

I went to Provaré with a group of friends for happy hour to celebrate one of their birthdays, and it was such a fun night out. We started with drinks, which are named after different Houston neighborhoods -- such a cute touch. For food, we shared the spinach and artichoke dip, which was fantastic. The bread it came with was especially good. We also split two pizzas, and both were solid choices. The vibe is great -- they had a live DJ and a saxophone player, which made the whole place feel lively and perfect for celebrating. Overall, it's a great spot for a night out, especially for happy hour or birthdays. I'd definitely go back! read more

The food was good. We had the lamb chops,medium with brussel sprouts. They were $54 so abit overpriced in my opinion but at least it was good. My biggest gripe is hookah smokers should not be seated all over the dining floor. There should be a designated area so all parties can enjoy the experience. I was eating hookah smoke lamb chop and I am a non smoker. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. (Shaunte) The ambiance was trendy. The music was nice. We went at around 4 so not too crowded. The crowd starts pouring in about 6 so make a reservation if going for dinner. Note they charge $2.50 per person. Odd but ok. Important to note there is a service charge of 20% and you are expected to tip on top of that. So we basically paid $30 in fees plus parking to eat here. 3% credit card fee. Ouch!!! Parking is minimum $20 The main thing is be prepared to spend a lot a trendy spot. There is nothing "wrong" with this place read more

Now I hate a sneaky restaurant. There is a 20% tip that "doesn't go to the serves/wait staff" somewhere does It go? This place requires reservations and a deposit but you won't get seated close to your reservation time. Think late night dinner plus loud music. The vibe was cool, the prices were inflated but all around not a terrible time. Lamb chops left me needing a little more seasons on them especially for the price point. The star of the show was whatever that crab dip was. Goodness, crab, cheese and the perfect bread for dipping read more

My friends and I met up for Girls Night Out/Happy Hour on a rainy Thursday. As many have mentioned, parking can be a headache, but street parking is available starting at 6pm (must pay at the meter or either via the app). When we arrived (an hour after they opened), it was fairly empty, but the vibes were immaculate: great lighting, medium noise-level R&B playing, and even the movie Flight starring Denzel was viewable from the roundtable top where we were seated. We were also greeted by some super tasty espresso martini shots. Our waiter, Jayla, was the absolute sweetest. She described each of the drinks to a TEE, making it very clear what we could expect. I ordered the River Oaks (bold, but balanced) and the Woodlands (the smoky, vaulted presentation was EVERYTHING! As was the straightforward taste. It would go great with BBQ.) She was attentive to taking our order prior to Happy Hour ending at 7pm. We all shared fried calamari (5/5), salmon egg rolls (3.5/5 - it was a bit too fishy tasting), italian beef pizza (5/5 - HUGE portion!), veggie pizza (5/5 fresh veggies), and the spinach artichoke dip (3 / 5 - the happy hour version doesn't include the seafood, but instead of chips, it's served with fluffy bread!). All throughout our dine time, the bus staff was also attentive, clearing the tables as needed since our table top was pretty full with all of the items we ordered. After about 2.5 hours we finally left - the party seemed to just be starting. The crowd was thickening and the music was turned up much louder. I can certainly see why this is a Washington Avenue hotspot. It's perfect for date night, celebrations, GNO, and even a cute solo dinner! Next time I'll be sure to not order as much HH food so that I can actually try some of the entrees. read more

I was excited to get dressed up and go here. I made 7:00 reservations via the website. I paid $5.00 booking fee for a party of 2. We took Uber so we didn't utilize the parking. Upon arrival my husband had to get pat down like a suspect criminal. I wasn't expecting that that for what I assumed was a high class spot. Upon being seated, the tables next to me and behind me were blowing hookah smoke in my direction. Once again, I thought this was an upscale restaurant so I definitely didn't enjoy this. Also the front door remains open so yeah not a fan of that either because there weee a few flies flying around. As far the dress code I saw everything from jeans, sneakers, lace see through, etc. This is more of a lounge to me. Now for the food, the crab Eggrolls were delicious! I had the lamb chops medium well with the corn that it came with. The server ask if I wanted to change to another side and I should've taken that as a hint. The corn was disgusting. The lamb chops were decent. My husband had the fried lobster tails with fries. He said the lobster tails were a tad salty. We received complimentary drink shots and they were tasty. I also ordered a mocktail but it wasn't sweet enough for me. Ok spot but I probably wouldn't return. read more

I visited Provare' for my birthday after seeing it all over Instagram and overall, it was a good experience. The food was nicely plated and definitely lived up to the aesthetic expectations set online. While the ambiance wasn't exactly what I anticipated, more of a bar and grill feel, it was still a pleasant environment and I enjoyed the vibe once settled in. The drinks and desserts were definitely my highlight of the evening both were delicious and well-crafted. The only downside was that it was a bit pricier than I had expected, the hookah smoke was a bit much but I felt the quality and presentation justified some of the cost. Overall, I'd definitely recommend not for a special occasion or a casual night out but to grab a bite to eat. The service was good and it's a fun place to celebrate with a meal and creative drinks. read more
