Tuna Tartare
Tamieka B.

Tried this place today for brunch with the girls. I arrived and chose valet, it's only $5. I was greeting and shown to my table. It has a small interior, but plenty of natural light. There was even a separate room where someone was having a baby shower. My friends and I like to eat everything family style. We ordered; Apps: Gambas Ajillo (shrimp)/Tuna Tartare (best bite)/Grilled Oysters Entrees: Chicken &Churro Waffle/Crab Cake Benedict/Crawfish Ettoufee Omelette/Crab Pizza & Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes Yes, it was a lot, but everything was tasty. Churro waffle was made for a 5 yr old's palate. Good flavor, but an egregious amount of cinnamon and sugar made it clawingly sweet. Crab pizza had pesto and thick cut jalapeños. It was decent, but needs something; tomatoes, pickled onions, chargrilled corn or all three. Either way, we will definitely add them to the rotation. Enter freely, they've been approved

I came here for HRW and although reviews were mixed, the food on the menu seemed good for the price and you don't know until you try it. I came with a group of friends and from the moment we seated til the end of dinner, it was quite the experience (negative). My selections of starter and entree were great. The crab cake was full of crab and it was very moist and flavorful. The duck was cooked perfectly and fell off the bone. My bread pudding dessert however tasted like nothing and honestly could've been a cheap frozen thing (not freshly made). We ordered bread service which took 20 min to come out. Our waiter never came to check on us and didn't ask for allergies. My friend had a nut allergy and his alcoholic beverage came with nuts encrusted on the rim (which the menu did not specify). Since we never saw our waiter, we flagged down another one who then told the manager I'm assuming. She came by to ask what the issue was and if we told the waiter (no bc he's been missing)...she also asked what we wanted to do about it (order a new drink...). Her tone was not it nor were her questions appreciated. She did apologize after I answered back to match her energy. Our food came out at a snail's pace and we were there for nearly three hours. I will not be coming back here.

We had a party of 9 reserved a week in advance for a Saturday night dinner. Our reservation was at 7 and my friend who reserved had received a call that around 5:45 pm day of to confirm our reservation. However when our whole party arrived we were told that our reservation was lost and taken out of the system. In result, our large table was given to another group. We did not get seated till 7:45 and we ordered right away from the Houston Restaurant Week menu. Our food did not arrive till 8:15 pm. We were starving at this point. I believe we were not the only party/group this happened to. Also, my friend was sitting under an AC vent and the AC water kept dripping on her. Aside from this, our server was great and he was doing his best as I do feel they were understaffed. The food was not bad. They have a good selection for Houston restaurant week. We did get compensated which was appreciated. I've been to Savoir 2 times before way back and the wait was never an issue. Our group was thinking of going to an ice cream shop after but our girls night ended being cut short as we had to wait to be seated and get our food. In the end, the food was good but was I'm not sure if it was worth an hour and 15 min wait.

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

Bread appetizer with tasty pimento butter spread
Tracy N.

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
Kyrie V.

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!

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.

Monica V.

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.

Brown and stinky oysters

I was super excited to eat here but the experience my friends and had yesterday was down right awful. Drinks took forever to get for 2 of the girls, we ordered oysters, each had 1 and instantly knew they were bad, looking back at the pic they looked bad. Each of us have been sick today. I ordered the tuna tartare and it could have been an aversion from the oyster but it also tasted wierd and fishy. So I mentioned it to the waiter again and got it taken away. And I probably never would have written a review bc it's raw seafood, you know the risk but we get our last course and it was obvious that they dump a bunch of salt in mine. Obvious bc another girl also got the same thing and it was no where near as salty. So beware, they will serve your spoiled oysters then say that they're just "gulf" oysters and it "normal". You're talking to the wrong bunch, we know our oysters.

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.

Anyone who knows me understands I tend to avoid the corporate or heavy investor funded bars. I will…read morereluctantly go to them with friends, but I prefer local joints that I can support. The types of places that combine the atmosphere I'm looking for: 1) has a good selection of beer, preferably local brewers; 2) some wine or craft cocktails for different preferences; 3) has a food menu, permits outside food, or brings in food trucks/pop-ups; 4) a laid back vibe that welcomes families and doesn't have the air of pretentiousness; and lastly; 5) a patio for the small windows of nice weather we have in Houston, or just anytime we want to bring along our four legged friends. I've rarely ran across an outdoor patio that doesn't permit pets and if they do restrict them, it's not worth my business. To that end, this spot ticks a lot of boxes. For those who aren't into the Houston F&B scene as much, Robin Berwick is the creative mind behind this spot. If you've ever visited a caffeine themed coffee and bar in the midtown area, you've been to another long standing establishment of hers. When Berwick's opened roughly over a year ago, I knew this would be a spot I'd enjoy. This spot tows the line well, it's not a dive bar, it's not pretentious, and it has the neighborhood bar feel that welcomes those looking for a great cocktail, a simple beer, or just some good vibes with family, friends, or kids. It feels like if a laid back tiki bar combined with a rustic feel. Living nearby, I think it fits the area. Food & Drink - 4.5* They have burgers, wings, friends, salads. All the food is good and I definitely recommend grabbing a bite during your visit. I particularly like their burgers and always grab a cocktail to go along with it. Service - 4* I've had mixed results, sometimes the attention to detail and service times are really good. Others they can be a little long or the sense their focus is elsewhere. Cost - 4* They used to have solid specials but they have dropped off over time. As an example, there used to be BOGO burgers on Wednesdays from 4-9 pm. Then it was 50% off. That's now only 25% off on Wednesday and only from 4-7 pm. They also had half price margaritas and frozen las brujas. This is now 25% off. Tuesday's was half price French 75s and Sazeracs. That's now 25% off. Thursday's used to be BOGO wings, $3 pacificos, and half price daiquiris. That is also now just 25% off wings, daiquiris, and cabana crushes. Fridays is industry night. They offered 25% off the entire food menu from 10 pm-12 am, now it's only 11 pm-12 am and only for the sandwich. Look, I worked in the industry, I know it's tough. I get that it's really tough for bars in Houston to make the margins work when the burdens seem to continue to rise. Landlords particularly are brutal /rant. It's even tougher when a bar is just getting their feet under them. This neighborhood has seen a lot of great additions in the last couple of years and the specials had us visiting more often, particularly when they ran til 9 pm. We now can't make it as often with the cutoff at 7 pm. Ultimately we were spending more time and money during the past visits, but I'm sure the overall margins were thinner for them. Possibly even some loss leaders to get traffic and business in the door. Now that the specials and times have tightened we elected to diversify to other bars nearby. Ultimately, they're all local and have the vibes I look for. Overall - 4.25* I highly encourage everyone to give this spot a visit if you're nearby. It's a great spot with good drinks and friendly neighborhood vibes. I do wish they would make some further adjustments to certain things that I thought differentiated them from others, the 4-9 pm specials was particularly strong as it allowed for the chance to visit more often when many folks can't make it by 7 pm. At least it isn't as bad as some bars, that I won't name that have basically limited their offering to a 1-1.5 hour happy hour (though it is half price) that runs so early that it's shocking how anyone could visit during that small window.

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. I will certainly be back here next year for the 2026 Miracle at Johnny's!
