    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
    Leena C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    D'Alba was one of my favorite dining experiences in Chattanooga…read more The outdoor seating area is thoughtfully designed for both humans and dogs. The patio is covered, lined with beautiful plants, and equipped with fans that help keep everything cool and comfortable. Even on warmer days, it feels like a relaxing place to settle in for a long meal. The food was fantastic from start to finish. We shared hummus as an appetizer, followed by grilled salmon, and somehow still found room for sorbet for dessert. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. Most importantly, my humans ordered me my very own side of grilled chicken. As a professional food critic, I can confirm that it disappeared immediately. Another nice touch is the outdoor family area. There is a dedicated space for kids to play along with a large TV so parents can relax while keeping an eye on their little ones. It gives the restaurant a welcoming atmosphere without feeling chaotic. Between the excellent food, comfortable patio, and dog-friendly attitude, D'Alba is an easy recommendation for anyone dining with a pup. Dogba's verdict: Beautiful patio, outstanding food, my own grilled chicken entrée, and enough plants to make a tiny Italian Greyhound feel very sophisticated.

The food is better than you'd expect, a good reason by itself to drop by. The ballon bread was insanely decadent and based on that, I'd guess the pizza was crazy good. And the prices were exceedingly reasonable for the quality of the food.

Good God Nadine's is closing at the end of May because their building is being sold. Nothing like a closing announcement to motivate me to go try a place. My friend made a reservation for inside dining, but it wasn't necessary. When we arrived, we were told we could sit wherever. It was pretty chilly inside so we opted for a booth on their covered patio. They also have an uncovered patio, however it was empty because it was raining. Parking is pretty adequate, especially for the Heights. Their lot is divided into three sections. The main entrance is through the uncovered patio. I didn't catch our server's name, but he was really nice and made good recommendations. The staff overall was super nice and very attentive. They did a great job of keeping water glasses full which I always appreciate. My friend and I both had the Paradise Smashburger and added Beef Tallow Fries. The burger had a double patty and it was so delicious! The patties had the crispy edges as a smashburger should and it was very filling and flavorful. The fries were good, especially with the aioli that we requested on the side. The food was amazing! The cocktails on the other hand fell a little short. I really wanted a Key Lime Pie Martini but they took it off the menu a few months ago so I ended up ordering The Houstonian. The Butterfly Pea infused gin caught my attention. What didn't catch my attention was the star anise. I don't really care for this spice and it had a prominent taste in the cocktail. I don't like to send drinks back so I kept it, but if I were to order it again, I would order it without the star anise because I enjoyed the other flavors in the drink. I also had the Pearadise with gin. I enjoyed the peach puree, but it was a bit tart. A little simple syrup would have helped to balance out the flavors. I'm glad that my friend and I were able to dine at GGN before they close. I'm hoping that they'll reopen in another location because I really enjoyed the food and the laid back vibe.

The building is being sold, so they're going out of business at the end of May. Unclear if they have plans to relocate somewhere else. We decided to go here after catching a musical at The Hobby Center downtown. I didn't realize Good Good Nadine's was so close to me right behind Truth BBQ and across from HEB. It has plenty of parking. Unfortunately, the handicap spots seem to be behind the entrance than the front. The entrance is through the outdoor and covered patio. I made reservations just in case for indoor dining since it was raining, but when we got there, the inside was freezing since we were wet. We didn't know that there was a large covered patio. Most people sat in that area, so we sat in a side booth there instead. It was comfy like patio cushions. We opted for that instead of the iron seats. Service was great. We ordered the Paradise smashburgers (mine without shredded lettuce) and added the hand cut beef tallow fries ($19). I asked for the aioli on the side, as well. I thought the burger was great. The meat had great flavor and was juicy. I liked the pickles. Compared to other photos I've seen where it was too much bread, my burger had a great bun to meat ratio. I added some ketchup and the aioli. The fries were great, but I wish I didn't get the tiny or small bits of fries compared to my friend's full cut fries. They had two non-alcoholic drink options, and I tried them both. The strawberry refresher was made with Seedlip, housemade strawberry syrup, lime, and soda. I preferred this one over the Palm Springs one because it had better flavor. The Palm Springs has coconut water, cane syrup, pineapple, soda, and toasted coconut. It wasn't what I expected it to taste. It was bland and was mostly coconut water and soda. It lacked the pineapple flavor to add sweet and tart notes. It wasn't sweet at all and also didn't have toasted coconut on top. It had a tiny snippet of maybe the end of a pineapple leaf that was browning? Not good. I took it off. Sad to see this place go. It is pretty nice inside and out. I enjoyed the smashburger compared to Burger Bodega down the street. The NA drinks could use some more love. I wish I would've tried the bread pudding! Totally forgot and was also full.

The restaurant was also hosting several large parties and a bridal event, which likely contributed to the slow service. The food itself was fine but ultimately felt average and not worth the long wait. I think the staff were doing the best they could, and I hope management is able to work through these growing pains with appropriate training, scheduling more staff during busy events, and limiting the number of simultaneous bookings. I think Lazy Lane has potential, and I hope to see it succeed.

It is tiny and packed tight inside, but they do have patio seating as well. Parking is very limited, but you can find street parking nearby. Reservations are highly recommended but walk ins are welcome. We had a few people taking care of us that night and they were all great. I was between a few items and they were very helpful in steering me in the right direction. We started off with a few bottles of wine to get the night started. From what I understand, their wine list is one of the things they are known for. Your only other option for an adult beverage is limited options of canned or bottled beers. I didn't really have a say in the wine we shared, but what we had was delicious and paired nicely with the items we ordered. For starters, we went with the highly recommended bread service. Get this! This bread was so good. I doubt they make it as ordered, but it came out like it was fresh out of the oven. It was a nice crusty bread with a fluffy interior served on a cutting board with a huge smear of miso butter. We then went with the Crispy Cauliflower which was one of my favorite dishes of the night. It was smothered in a gochujang aioli and reminded me of a general tso chicken or something. Very good. Thai Chili Rubs was next and these were so good as well. I'm a sucker for all the Asian flavor profiles and this hit that. For my entree, I ended up with the Pork Chop w/ Chutney. This was a huge chop on a layer of apple sauce and a wonderful chutney that contrasted the sweet sauce. Every layer worked well together. I will say the pork chop was just slightly over cooked, in some parts. It also came with green beans which was cooked just right. No room for dessert as we had another party to head to. Overall, I'm glad my friends picked this spot for their birthday celebration. I am now in the know about this place and will consider coming back in the future.

    We had a party of 9 reserved a week in advance for a Saturday night dinner. Our reservation was at…read more7 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.

    Delicious, creative meal with friendly and attentive service. We sat in the patio out back in June…read moreand it was a bit warm even with the fans so my preference would be to try to sit inside. Still it was fine. Enjoyed the gem salad, Nancy cakes, lamb tartare and wood grilled half chicken. Side of the beef fat sticky rice. Nancy cakes: yes I could eat these every visit. Really good combination of flavors and textures. Everything was nice: lamb tartare was delicious, salad was strong. Chicken satisfying. Had a solid dessert too: hazelnut marjolaine. I look forward to returning and trying a whole new batch of dishes.

    Nancy's Hustle is the real deal…read more Walked in with no expectations and left wondering how I'd gone this long without eating here. The Nancy Cakes are worth the hype, piping hot with that whipped butter and smoked trout roe combo that somehow just works. We also had the dumplings and the double cheeseburger on the English muffin, both excellent. The burger especially punches way above what you'd expect from a bistro. The vibe is perfect. 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.

    Grilled snapper-$35 and the silver lining- $15. My last meal request. The best combo I've had in 2025. Perfect portion size.
