He made sure our drinks stayed filled, checked on us regularly, and provided great recommendations from the menu. Raymundo's positive attitude and genuine care for his guests really stood out.

Our server, Tirrell, was genuinely one of the nicest & kindest servers we've ever had. Gave good recommendations, brought our food out in a timely order and was simply a great guy overall. Definitely recommend sitting in his section if you get the chance! Food: We started with Bang Bang Chicken which was so so good!!! perfectly balanced sweet & sour and somehow still had a kick to it. For entrees, we got the Mediterranean Chicken bowl and the Blackened Chicken. I only have one thing to say for both: So. Much. Flavor Desert finished it off just well enough for me to want to return tomorrow. We had the chocolate cake but the Creme Brulee Cheesecake is hands down the way to go. Definitely coming back here!!

I brought my girl here for a anniversary date night and we had such a good time. Madeline was our server and she was amazing. I believe Monica was the manager and she made sure everything was perfect too. The food came out fresh, flavorful and every dish was delicious. This is also the biggest Joey location I've been to and the whole vibe made the experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite places and I'll absolutely be back.

Our hummus and spicy cauliflower appetizers were excellent. We each ordered a different main course and thoroughly enjoyed our food. Finally, for dessert, we shared a white bread pudding and a tres leches cake. Everything we ate was excellently prepared, perfectly cooked, and incredibly tasty. Our server, Jwana, took this from simply being a celebration meal to being a memorable family experience. Her service was impeccable -- prompt, attentive, friendly, and thoughtful. We were all impressed. To top it all off, the ambiance at the restaurant is perfectly suited to a family gathering. Enough background music to make things more enjoyable, but not so much that it impeded our conversation. A perfect Sunday outing!

Great bagel spot. I'm glad Einsteins decide to open a new location in the Uptown…read more The restaurant is brand new and very clean inside. As with all Eindteins they offer a wide variety of bagel options. I have been impressed with their breakfast bagel sandwich options, in particular the Signature Egg Sandwich. The staff is nice, patient and accommodating. They offer a rewards program through the app but it could definitely use some work. Seems like the most effective way to earn rewards is to order ahead through the app as they do not offer an option to upload a receipt. Hopefully this gets updated in the future.. As a side note, It would also be nice if they offered 1 day old bagels at a substantial discount in an effort to reduce waste. Overall I would encourage people to checkout the Einstein Brow. Bagels in uptown.

Delicious breakfast sandwich experience! I had a late breakfast at the Einstein near my…read moreneighborhood and it was spectacular! The Texas Brisket Egg Sandwich on Jalapeño bun came out piping hot, and all the flavors and textures were on point. It is a bit pricey ($9) but worth it if you're willing to cough up some cash for fast food / fast casual breakfast. I did a mobile order so there was limited interaction with staff so I can't comment too much on the service. Definitely nothing negative to describe. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious, clean, a good amount of seating, with clean restrooms. The only downside for this location is the tight parking. You will often show up with no spots open, so you may need to sit around for a few minutes until one opens up. Just circle the lot a few times and look for people walking to their cars. Just don't exit the actual parking lot onto Chimney Rock or San Felipe because you need to do all these crazy u-turns to get back into the lot. Enjoy!

He was also super attentive. 5/5 on ambiance. Was definitely giving an upscale vibe.

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.

This is what I would consider to be an upscale dining restaurant with a unique assortment of specialty dishes. Ordered hot honey chicken bites, Brussels sprouts as starters and they both were excellent. In fact everything was excellent. Greek salad, Sonoma chicken salad on wheat with orzo salad and the chicken skillet pot pie. All very good. Neat feel to the building and kept impeccably clean. Specialty cocktails, happy hours etc... Would expect to find this restaurant in the heart of First Colony or in premium dining downtown. So great to see upscale dining in Bellaire. Found prices to be very fair given quality.

Usually I'm at least a little disappointed or underwhelmed by their food picks, but this time they proved their taste buds are actually pretty solid. The beer-battered fries were FIRE. Not a single soggy fry on my plate. And the 7 oz. burger? Cooked to a perfect medium-rare, with all those delicious juices spilling out in every bite... DIVINITY. The location itself was super cute--very Southern charm tucked into the middle of such an urban city. Our waitress handled all seven of us like a pro, kept everything moving, and somehow found that perfect balance of being attentive without constantly hovering. P.S. half of my coworkers ordered their craft burgers and the other half went with their pizzas--pretty solid choice. Crust was sourdough and the toppings were varied. The tops were DUCK AND BALSAMIC, SAUSAGE AND BURRATA, PEAR AND BLEU

This Galleria location on San Felipe in particular is convenient for me because I have a friend that lives in the apartments that this location is connected to. You can't go wrong with any of their pastries here. My favorites are their almond croissant, kouign-amann, sticky bun, and so much more. Pair your pastry with one of their made to order lattes and you're in for a great breakfast treat. Thanks common bond for being consistently tasty, no matter which location you go to. Yes, their prices are on the higher side, but you do get quality when you come here. Enjoy!

Also beer and wine options. This used to be a Local Foods so it is larger than the other CB real estate options. Super spacious where you're not having to be right next to another table. It's very spread out and a bit busier around lunch time but still plentiful. There's also an upstairs seating area with maybe ~9 tables. Great for a little quieter. There was a group of ladies playing mahjong, love. There is free retail parking available in the adjoining garage, just a quick walk through the courtyard shared with the apartments, spa and other restaurant. Common bond isn't my first choice for coffee but for overall rating this is superb. Will be coming back when I'm in the area 100%

We live in the area and passed by this spot so many times without even knowing The exterior is appealing and eye catching. The whole section of restaurants has a trendy and family friendly vibe. It would be the perfect spot to enjoy some outdoor bites and libations if not for the insufferable weather we have most of the year, but luckily, the interior is just as lovely. It's immaculate, well decorated, and deceptively spacious. There's plenty of booths, tables, and there's even a fully stocked bar and takeaway area The menu offers a variety of delicacies from a french dip, to pecan crusted chicken, to enchiladas. They have lovely handcrafted cocktails to choose from - some classic cocktails and some signature concoctions Everything tasted and looked great. The pecan chicken was more sweet than I expected, but still good. All of the sides were great. The cocktails looked great and tasted good. I did order one cocktail that gave ingredients but mentioned a "thick pink juice" that is made in-house, and upon my initial taste I soon discovered they meant beet juice. It wasn't bad, just unexpected and a little overpowering Our sever was good. Our orders came out quickly and without any issues. We did have to wait a while for top-offs on water. Also, as I was taking photos of the food our server was behind me and I apologized and they said "phone eats first," and I hope that was only meant in jest and not throwing shade lol Some tips: These plates aren't the most shareable, but if in a group I would consider ordering a variety of entrees and sides and trying each others meals If you're feeling something sweet after your meal, consider walking next door to Milk + Sugar. They're one of my favorite West Houston ice cream parlors Cheers!!
