    Chicken and Waffle for $16
    Justin A.

    I went to Savoir in the Heights on a Sunday morning for brunch with my wife and our toddler. Savoir markets themselves as a chef-driven restaurant that focuses on from-scratch cooking with seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers and vendors. Parking is valet-only, but if you don't mind walking a couple of minutes, there is free street parking available on Heights Boulevard. Inside, the restaurant is beautiful, with a sleek bar, a stylish dining room, and an outdoor patio. They were accommodating to families and brought out a high chair for our toddler. When looking over the brunch menu, I was surprised to see that they did not offer a traditional breakfast option like eggs, bacon, and toast. I even asked if they could make something simple like that, and they said no. I've never encountered a brunch menu without a basic breakfast option. [BRUNCH] +Open Brunch Sandwich for $18 - BLT with truffle oil and a fried egg, served with potatoes. This was very average. It was essentially a piece of bread topped with BLT ingredients, and I ended up eating it like a standard breakfast anyway. Nothing memorable here. - 3/5 Overall, Savoir is a visually impressive restaurant with a polished atmosphere, but the food does not live up to the setting. I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    Bread appetizer with tasty pimento butter spread

    Cute place; only valet parking so make sure you bring cash. Food was good. Had the lamb shank and creme brûlée but forgot to take a pic of those. Sorry. It's a cute tucked away place and the enclosed glass patio will be wonderful this summer when it's hot and humid outside and you want the feel of the outdoors but not the stickiness. Service was ok, they rushed us out a bit.

    Steak frites
    Jacquelyn C.

    Food here is good and service is great! We were sat in the private room with large windows and the ambience was amazing. The beet hummus was light and refreshing and the fritto misto was a great blend of calamari and shrimp. I especially loved the garlic aioli that came with it. The steak frites was also good, but my steak was a tad overdone for a medium rare. The fries were delicious and were especially good with the garlic aioli once again. For dessert I got the creme brulee and sampled the tiramisu, both of which were absolutely delicious. Their cocktails are also delicious.

    Black truffle pasta, mushroom risotto

    Came to celebrate a birthday and it was such a wonderful experience! Beautiful restaurant, both inside and out. We sat on the patio and it was lovely. We started with the charcuterie board and bread service--both of which were phenomenal. The charcuterie included a cheese similar to Brie with a different name because it's from Massachusetts, Manchego, and raclette paired with some meat and some fantastic pita style bread. The bread service came with a brioche, homestyle bread, two others, and a really good butter. For mains, we tried the steak and frittes (delicious!), the mushroom risotto (so good), and the black truffle pasta from off-menu (the best thing we had). For dessert we had a crème brûlée. Our waiter, Rafael, was extremely friendly, a great conversationalist, and made wonderful suggestions!

    Food was alright, could use more seasoning. Although, the service was really nice, waitress were super nice and helpful. Loved the vibe of the place as well.

    One of my besties and I wanted to take our moms to brunch. Savoir was perfect comzy comfy place on an early Sunday afternoon. Every plate we ordered was simply delicious and so filling, from the Avocado Toast to the Chicken & Waffles to the BLT Breakfast Sandwich. I ordered plain black coffee and it surpassed the taste test. The staff was very accommodating, from the host at the front to our wonderful waiter. It wasn't my 1st time here, but I am making Savoir 1 of my GO TOs for Brunch or Happy Hour.

    Avocado Benedict
    Cassie X.

    Savoir has new ownership and a revamped menu and it's definitely worth a visit. I went during HRE for lunch and got escargot and a pasta dish for $25 and it was a super good deal. Escargot was creamy and garlicky, just how I like them. No funky snail taste.

    Sancerre Sauvignon blanc
    Heather M.

    It looks so inviting from the outside and it's really pretty inside too. We sat in the bar area and it was so nice because it wasn't very busy at all in there. We were just going to get a drink but then decided on appetisers too - raw oysters, calamari, and the brie. Everything was so delicious! The service was very good too. Major bonus points: They offer glasses of Sancerre sauvignon blanc; made my day! And their bathroom is absolutely wonderful. It's very dark and so easy on the eyes, especially for light-sensitive people like myself.

    Cavatelli (split)
    Jooy C.

    Solid 4 stars here. It's a nice, semi-upscale place that works well for a date or night out. The bar area is really beautiful upon walking in, and then there is a separate dining area that holds the majority of table seats. Food didn't necessarily stand out to me, but they were good. We ordered Caesar salad, mussels, jamon, and the cavatelli. I thought the mussels would come with bread or noodles but they were just the mussels themselves. The Jamon came with a nice crunchy bread. All in all I thought everything was fine. They don't charge extra to split your dish which is nice. I may come back when I'm in the mood for a nice date.

    Avacado Toast
    Sandra S.

    This venue appears to be a good choice for celebrations and group gatherings as long as your not expecting it to be fully private. I visited for a Saturday lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. There was another birthday being celebrated, and there was also a bridal party in a private room with glass walls. The server was friendly and attentive. However, my dish was underwhelming. I was excited to see sourdough on the menu but was disappointed to receive what tasted like a standard grocery store slice. While the generous avocado topping saved it from being a complete letdown, I wouldn't order it again. Especially not for $18 pretax/tip. I also sampled the biscuit chicken sandwich, which was just okay; the biscuit was a bit dry. The curly fries were decent but not particularly memorable. Note that there is a lack of parking, which forced me to search for street parking nearby.

    Desert Blossom Mocktail
    Tiffany J.

    I went to Savoir with my friend Helene S. on the last day of Eat Drink HTX 2024. If you're unfamiliar with EDH, it's basically a mini version of HRW that occurs in February. I've had Savoir bookmarked so I was excited to try their $25 dinner menu. Savoir is located in The Heights. They offer complimentary valet or you can park on the street in the neighborhood. Our server was Felix and he was very nice. He helped make suggestions for our beverages. I had a glass of Rosé while Helene had a mocktail called the Desert Blossom. They have a few mocktail options and they all sounded very refreshing. For the first course, I had the Tomatoes and Burrata. This dish was phenomenal and it was plated beautifully. The tomatoes were juicy, and I loved the pairing of the balsamic, burrata, microgreens, tomatoes, and strawberries! It was salty, savory, and sweet and so flavorful! I did not try any of Helene's Brick Oven Beets, but she enjoyed them. For the second course, we both ordered the Salmon. This entree was delicious and I ate all of it! The salmon was cooked medium and I loved the saffron couscous pilaf, chermoula, herbs, and pickled onions. I would definitely order this dish again! While we were eating, the manager stopped by to say hello and made sure we were satisfied with our meal. I always appreciate great service. They are participating in HRW again this year. They're offering brunch, lunch, and dinner and the Tomatoes and Burrata are on all three menus. I think I will be returning soon!

    Went with friends on Friday night for Houston restaurant weeks. Let me start by saying the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL with great ambiance. I can see it as a great place to celebrate birthdays & special occasions. One little flaw is that as we were talking, condensation from the air conditioning started dripping on our table and empty plates (thankfully our food wasn't served yet) and a staff member had to bring a tool with cloths attached to wipe away the condensation overhead while we were sitting right there. Our party of 4 all ordered from the HRW menu with different items and everything was good! The Tex-mex Brussels & tomato with burrata salad were the clear winners of the appetizer course! The pastas were good but really didn't stand out. The sorbets in the dessert course were local from Sweet Cup and looked so refreshing. The Croinuts were good but on the rich side. All in all, I think Savoir is a great place for a date night!

I loved the spiced warm cider taste of rage Carol Singer, though the standout of the night was the Coconut hot chocolate. The whipped cream was perfect for giving the hot chocolate Christmas feel while still getting a kick from the rum and amaretto mix. Our servers were attentive and very accommodating.

I've also had the chance to stop by outside the Christmas season and was blown away by the tasty drinks and reasonable prices.
