    It's off Yale and 14th street and limited valet available so it's easier to get street parking. Pluses 1. Drinks are good 2. Brie appetizer is tasty 3. Omelet with racketeering and crawfish etouffee was tasty Areas to improve 1. We booked patio because we wanted to be outside - they had a large baby shower that took over the large room and patio. It looks like it had been planned in advance so it would have been nice to know that the patio was not available . 2. Coffee service - the cup is really small and our server spilled the coffee out of the cup several times. That is just unprofessional to me when the cup is then soaking in the dish with coffee outside the cup. Plus it wasn't refilled as often. 3. Dishes are hit or miss - his shrimp and grits seemed to be a small portion and just bland and blah. 4. Restrooms are really dark 5. Patio outside looks unappealing there are dead plants and lanky wax leaf which gives terrible allergies. Also they have fake plants and also live ones inside the restaurant, but the inside orchids were dried up and dead looking so not fresh or appealing either. I know it's under new management so it might be hit or miss.

    This used to be one of my go-to spots in 2022-2023, but unfortunately it has gone downhill, and I don't see it ever making a comeback. I came for brunch with two friends, and the restaurant was empty. Half of the lights weren't even on, which made the atmosphere weird. The service also felt awkward. Our server dropped our espresso martinis, and while accidents happen, instead of apologizing first, he immediately tried to joke about it. A sincere apology would have gone a long way, and I was surprised the drinks weren't comped. There was no sense of urgency when making me a new drink either. The food was the one good thing, it was still really good and didn't disappoint. I loved the brioche french toast. It did take forever to come out though. The overall vibe was off, and it was extremely hot inside, which made the experience worse. Sadly, I probably won't be coming back here. I also wish they would bring back the old menu. The cacio e pepe, short rib, and the pizzas they used to serve were to die for. The old savoir will be missed

    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

    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.

    Last night we went for a very first time to Savoir. Overall, the food and ambience was fantastic. We visited because of Houston Restaurant week. Something very important to note is that in this space is two separate restaurants. Savoir and Pattons steakhouse. When we got there, we were seated and handed menus at 7pm. Once we seated, it took about 10 minutes before somebody came by to offer us water. Around 730 we finally rep replacing our orders when our way to realized that they gave us the wrong menu. They gave us the menu for Pattons not Savior. However he did make it up to us by allowing us to order from the Pattons menu. It was about another 30 min before we got our first course. It was AN HOUR (9pm) before we got our main course. The food was delicious but the red meats were under cooked as requested and since most our party needed to get going to relive babysitters we just sucked it up and ate what we could. We asked for the bill and desserts to be packed to go. Overall very mixed review. I'm not going to judge based on one night so I WOULD go back. I do think it's silly they have 2 restraunts in the same small space. If it's all Coming from the same chef and kitchen not sure why they need 2 menus. Food was good though. Food ordered was: Apps: Lobster Buisque Steak tar tar Crab cakes Shrimp cocktail Main Braised short rib Duck steak fritas Rack of Lamb All had great flavor and was plenty of food.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Chicken and Waffle for $16

    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.

    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.

I will love to return to try more, there's so much on the menu to taste.

We enjoyed perusing their holiday themed menu and settled on our orders. I decided on the Carol Singer and J opted for the Coconut hot chocolate. I was happy to try these warmer drinks on a nippy day and they were both delicious! 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. They did inform us of another party coming in to the same table 2 hours after our reservation which was very reasonable and we appreciated the heads up. I've also had the chance to stop by outside the Christmas season and was blown away by the tasty drinks and reasonable prices.
