    Nice, upscale restaurant! Standouts were the Mussels Toast and Crudo, though the portion for the crudo was quite small.

    Casual dining. There is a parking lot with limited spaces. Make a reservation. Service was nice and friendly but not consistent. We decided to get a bunch of dishes and share. 10/10- chicken liver pâté with seasonal jam and focaccia - smooth - creamy - paired with the sweet jam 7/10 -kanpachi crudo, satsuma ponzu, crispy sunchoke, mustard seed - fish was tender - slight sweet and crunch bits 9/10- mesquite smoked lamb ribs, white BBQ sauce, rosemary - Lamb was very tender and fell of the bone, sauce was tangy. 10/10- marinated mussels on grilled bread, calico' beans - mussels were flavorful, bread was toasted just right provided a nice vehicle for all the toppings. I enjoyed this dish. 9/10 - pork collar milanese, white anchovy, fennel, apple. - very balanced - savory crispy pork and the topping gave freshness and sweet and tanginess. 8/10- roast chicken and potatoes, lemon aioli, herbed schmaltz - dining companions enjoyed the this dish - moist chicken and potatoes were tasty 5/10 - campanelle, crawfish, Calabrian chile, crab butter - pasta was nice but the spicy sauce overpowered the crab butter and crawfish.

    I can't stress enough how magical the flavors are. Each bite has depth. Flavor upon flavor upon flavor - they sink in & fall together like perfection. Crudo, pork Milanese, sweet potato dumplings and squash with pomegranate stole the show - freaking amazing as always. The venison tartare had a mustard base which I enjoyed. I still have a preference for the tartare version served a couple years ago with briny capers though. I hope they bring it back.

    Mezze rigatoni with oxtail

    I came to Squable for my birthday dinner and it was an amazing meal! The interior is lively with an open bar and a pretty loud noise level, yet the service is so good that it keeps the restaurant at an elevated level. They have smaller shared plates and we were recommended to order 5, with 2 of them being main plates, for two people. For our cold plate we got the venison tartare, which was a standout not because of the tartare but actually because of the shoestring fries. Absolutely delicious, probably the best fries I've ever had. The tartare was also delicious but much lighter in flavor besides the mustard, honestly it was a little overpowered by the fries. For our hot plates we got the lamb chops and the charred broccoli. The broccoli was one of my favorite plates surprisingly, with a strong dill and cilantro flavor that paired well with the overall tanginess of the plate. The lamb chops were also delicious with super tender meat that fell off the bone, however it was quite fatty. The sauce it comes in is quite light which was a good balance. For our mains, we got the branzino and the rigatoni. The branzino was quite good, with a delicious sauce and a perfect sear on the skin. The fish was deboned as well. The rigatoni, on the other hand, was probably our least favorite dish. There was a horseradish gremolata that was quite strong and not our favorite. The oxtail sauce on the pasta was also quite rich but the flavors were a little dull for what we expected, disappointingly. However, we're excited to try new dishes next time, and the menu changes frequently so we'll get to taste something new! For dessert, we got the chocolate cherry torte which was AMAZING. Definitely on the sweet side, but luckily it doesn't cross the line. I also got a snickerdoodle cookie for my birthday with a candle which was sweet! Ultimately Squable has definitely earned its reputation as a delicious spot in the Heights and I can't wait to come back!

    Taste wise. A very great brunch. What takes away from it is the service, price for what you get, and little hiccups. I would say that as a non brunch person, I genuinely enjoyed most of our dishes. I didn't enjoy the overly brisk attitude. Our plates were just plopped down in front of us with no description, no nothing. Like the tater tots are 32 dollars for 6 blocks I would like some little into or blurb ( the tots are delicious btw). We also had to ask the waitress for new plates quite a bit. No one wants to eat a burger off a plate that just had jam and whipped cream on it. Also, we came for a friends birthday so I thought they would do something but no. Idk maybe places don't care if it's your birthday anymore. I would maybe come back for brunch but I'm not rushing back to pay new American prices with mid tier customer service.

    This place was so good half way through I forgot to take more pictures ‍‍ The parking is pretty decent, but the restaurant is pretty small inside. I recommend making reservations. When we got there, we had to wait a little longer than expected . I think we waited like an extra 15 minutes but worth the wait! It was also on a Friday as well. We ordered a bunch of shareable items. This place is definitely a shareable tapas type vibe. definitely recommend. Fun fact. We asked the restaurant manager why it was seemed squabble. Because squabble is what people do when they fight. They said the owners that were creating this restaurant could not decide on a name and they were squabbling about it. So they decided to just call it squabble.

    Afterglow mocktails

    Tastebuds awakened. Met the bestie for our monthly girl's date. She is the best. Roughly 6 min from home so plus plus. We had a 7:30 pm reservation. (Reserve, reserve, reserve) The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. Clean, organized. And dimly lit. There is a patio but it was roughly 40 something outside so no thanks. We were sat at a quaint table by the wall that had a nice light pouring downward. The menu is small. They have a full bar so cocktails and mocktails. Our order: afterglow (cocktail), kanpachi crudo, dumplings, charred broccoli, vegetable lasagna, seared branzino, chocolate hazelnut budino Kanpachi crudo (4.5/5) - delightfully refreshing and delicious; the citrusy sauce paired perfectly with fish dumplings (2.5/5) - recommended bc of its popularity but it just wasn't for us; the wrapping was overly soft and the filling wasn't enough to get a definitive flavor - the overall presentation was nice but it just wasn't our thing Charred broccoli (4/5) - the sauce had a combo of tangy, nutty creaminess which paired well with the charring of the broccoli Vegetable lasagna (4/5) - very hearty, for vegetarian only dish, it's def a twig in lasagna because at first glance it reminded me of French toast, def worth the hype Seared branzino (3.2/5) - I think my expectations were high; the fish was thin, the skin was a bit overcooked in certain parts making it chewy - it wasn't bad but it just didn't hit the spot Chocolate hazelnut budino (3/5) - reminded us of Ferrero roche it was a nice ending to our meal The menu changes. So make sure to look online before reserving. The staff is incredible. Everyone was nice and friendly. They do talk fast when describing the dishes Parking is two smaller lots and if you go on the weekend be prepared because it's in a corner with a variety of restaurants and shops. Def think it's a place everyone with an open palate should try.

    Was back in town visiting friends and FINALLY got to try this spot. The ambiance is great, low lighting that's perfect for an intimate dinner with friends or date night. There's also plenty of seating - there was a large group dining at the same time as us, so the restaurant can definitely accommodate that. We tried so many things. We got the squash, the lamb ribs, the broccoli, the rigatoni, the chicken, and the white fish (I forget the name). Everything was DELICIOUS. Our favorites were definitely the squash, the chicken, and the broccoli. We were a group of three, and these five plates were the perfect amount for us to share. Overall, I'd definitely recommend for a fancier dinner with friends or family!

    Really cool spot. Absolutely love furniture and the overall look and feel of the spot. We had breakfast items aside from the pasta dish but all were fantastic. Really want to come back here and try more items.

    Loaded fries
    Theresa V.

    Went here for bunch mainly for the beef fat tater tots after seeing them on instagram. However, everything was delicious. We also got the dutch baby, kanpachi crudo and loaded fries. They asked if we could tolerate spicy for the loaded fries and we overestimated ourselves, but the flavors were so good! The tater tots were crispy and melted in your mouth -- a sort of play on sour cream and onions, the salmon roe giving little punches of salt. The dutch baby with the bacon was a perfect mix of sweet and savory, made me miss making dutch babies at home. We'll have to come back for dinner.

    Mesquite smoke Lamb Ribs

    Squable never misses. I have been multiple times and I always enjoy it. Parking can be a little tricky since the lot is small, but there is street parking available. I have tried most things on the menu and I love that they change it up every so often. On my most recent visit I had the lamb ribs and the cheeseburger. Both were amazing and worth ordering again. One thing I always have to get is the charred broccoli. It is one of my favorite dishes there. Also do not sleep on the vegetable lasagne. It is so good! Consistently great food, great service, and a menu that keeps things exciting. Always a go to spot for me!

    10/10 everything was excellent- server was so nice. Mussel bread and leeks and chicken and oxtail rigatoni and... wait I'm listing everything- but truly everything was insanely unique and delicious flavor!

    Steak tartare
    Júlia P.

    Great quality and truly original food with amazing European flavors. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted and full of character. I love coming here and ordering a variety of things to share -- the menu is perfect for that kind of experience. The plates are beautifully presented and ideal for tasting a little bit of everything at the table. I highly recommend the branzino and the steak tartare.

    Ask the Community - Squable

    Is kids friendly?

    Definitely in terms of atmosphere, but the menu may be a little too advanced for them

    Is there valet parking?

    No, not when we went. They have a parking lot and we didn't have trouble parking.

    Is there a happy hour menu?

    Last I was here in January, we had a note in our check saying HH is 4-6 weekdays at the Bar Top. 1/2 off all booze

    What time does Sunday brunch end for dinner to start? Or are both menus available all day?

    Brunch ends at 3:59 and Dinner starts at 4:00.

    From looking at the pics the Dutch Baby is not a pancake? Please explain, a starter? Main dish? Side?

    It's more of a pastry dish with a thin bottom layer and a flakey crust. It's more on the savory side with a bit of sweetness. A must IMHO. Would work best as a starter or a side. Try the dessert bread to end the meal! Both were excellent.

    Is the patio dog-friendly?

    As of 9/24/19, the patio is NOT dog friendly. Confirmed via phone call with Angelica.

Dark, relaxed, no pretension, and still feel like you're having a great night out. Michelin Bib Gourmand for a reason. This is one of the best restaurants in Houston, full stop. Just make a reservation, the place fills up fast.

Thankfully I turned on notifications if there was a cancellation and I got one for 9:30pm for Friday a few days before! I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance, this place gets packed. When we arrived we waited like 10 or so minutes to be seated which was a bit long imo but it's all good. The restaurant is decorated nicely and dimmed the lights for dinner. They were also playing some great music so waiting wasn't bad. :) When we were seated our server, Abigail gave us some sparkling wine to start with. She was great and explained the reverse happy hour and answered our questions. For drinks, I got the Lambrusco Spritz and it was delicious and strong.

Furthermore, the pasta portions were shockingly small, arriving in tiny 16 oz deli containers despite the high price points ($26 for the bolognese and $24 for the pasta norma). For the cost, the value and quality were unacceptable. We will not be ordering from here again.

This cucumber based cocktail was very refreshing! I also had a Clover Club which I enjoyed (I love the egg white)! Fried Deviled Egg - I opted to add caviar for an additional $8. It was good, but I just really prefer traditional deviled eggs without breading on them. Market Fish - Absolutely delicious! The fish was tender and flaky, seasoned well, and the tomato bacon broth was soooo good! My only complaint was the small portion. Bees Knees - Delicious!

Drinks: I did a So Fresh So Clean because I'm predictable and I loved it the first time. I also had a Negroni and it was really good. Butter Burgers: It normally comes with two, but Chris was nice and brought out a 3rd burger so that we could each have one. I enjoyed the French onion flavor in the beef, but the burger was too buttery for my taste. Crispy Potatoes - Very good with great flavor. Mushroom Empanada - I didn't try any, but my friends enjoyed them. Hanger Steak - It took 40 minutes for the steak to be brought out and unfortunately, one steak was overcooked while the other was undercooked. I tried a bite of the overcooked steak and the flavor was there. The steak was tender enough for my preference. Market Fish - Red Snapper. It was a larger portion, but the flavor wasn't as good as the first time. Additionally, my fish came out about 10 minutes before the steak and it got cold because I was waiting on the steak to be brought out.

I will be visiting Houston for only two days and specifically planned this trip around experiencing Houston Restaurant Weeks. Today, we received an email informing me that I would have needed a separate reservation specifically for the Restaurant Week menu. Unfortunately, by the time I found this out, those reservations were already sold out. We also reached out directly to the restaurant and spoke with Catherine Park from the Hostess Team. We were told there was nothing she could do, and I requested that she escalate this issue to management, as this situation is extremely frustrating and disappointing. The biggest issue is that this requirement was not clearly communicated on the Resy reservation page when I made my reservation. There was no clear indication that a separate Restaurant Week reservation was required, nor was there an option presented during the booking process. I have participated in Restaurant Week events in many cities across the United States, and I have never encountered a system where guests must make a completely separate reservation just to access the Restaurant Week menu. Typically, guests make a reservation and can decide between available menus when they arrive. Since Restaurant Week was the reason I chose this restaurant, this has been extremely disappointing. I will now be looking for a different restaurant for my Houston visit.

We enjoyed a large portion of their limited/rotating menu that did not disappoint. The tuna was my favorite. 10/10. A very extensive, higher end wine list complemented the meal nicely. Definitely need reservations -- book as early as possible. Seating is very limited especially for larger parties. Parking --- street parking around the block. Wasn't too difficult. Definitely a must try!

    I was finally able to try this Houston staple last weekend!…read more Food: 4.5/5 - I loved the tomato toast and warm broth the best! The tomato toast was not overhyped and definitely worth getting. The bread is nice and oily yet still crusty and crunchy. The tomatoes and greens on top paired perfectly with the sourdough. - The warm broth doesn't seem like much from pictures and description but it was just so comforting and had nice umami. The green onions really bring out the rest of the flavors. - Ratatouille: this was one of our server's recommendations. I thought it was pretty good but slightly too sour/over-pickled for me. (I'm also not a big pickle person) - Butternut squash: This was probably the next best dish after the toast and broth. All the flavors and texture were there except the squash was a little hard. It could've been cooked a little longer to make it easier to cut through. I guess it is out of season, but still. - Squab aka pigeon: Also pretty good. The dried raspberries actually pair very well with it. Ambiance: 4/5 - The space is extremely small so you really need reservations. - It's so small that the tables are quite close together. But they were also not evenly spaced out so we tried to move our table away from the people next to us (we were practically touching!) and the staff insisted that we don't move them because they need to access the cutlery in the drawer on the side of the table?? First of all, they could've still accessed it after we moved the table. Second, if the space is that tiny, why not just store the utensils elsewhere? Very odd and didn't like that vibe.

    An Exceptional Dining Experience That Feels Like Escaping Houston…read moreFrom the moment I arrived at BCM Taste & Tradition, I knew this was going to be a different kind of dining experience. I originally noticed that Houston Restaurant Week reservations were completely booked through September, but I decided to stop by around opening to see if there was any availability. Thankfully, the hostess was incredibly gracious and accommodating and was able to fit me in before the restaurant became fully booked. I genuinely appreciated the hospitality because it gave me the opportunity to experience what turned out to be one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in Houston. The food was exceptional. I tried the ink rice with shrimp, which was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The dessert was equally impressive--honestly, to die for. It was the kind of meal where every course feels intentional and thoughtfully executed. The service deserves its own recognition. Javair at the bar was phenomenal--professional, attentive, and personable without ever being intrusive. We had some great conversation, and he even shared some fascinating details about the artwork throughout the restaurant. Learning that some of the pieces displayed were original Picassos was an incredible surprise and added another layer of sophistication to the experience. And then there's the ambiance. BCM Taste & Tradition genuinely feels like stepping outside of Houston without ever leaving the city. The interior, artwork, music, and overall atmosphere create something incredibly refined and intimate. The live music was especially beautiful--calm, serene, and perfectly suited to the setting. It created an atmosphere where you could actually slow down, enjoy your surroundings, and be present in the moment. This is more than just a restaurant. It feels like an experience curated around food, art, music, and hospitality. From the gracious hostess to the exceptional service, memorable food, stunning artwork, and serene atmosphere, BCM Taste & Tradition absolutely earned every one of these five stars. I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself. This is the kind of place you remember long after the meal is over.
