    Travelers Table Board
    Michaela J.

    I really enjoyed my visit to Travelers table! It was easy to make a reservation online in advance. They have only valet parking. The restaurant has a nice open vibe to it plenty of indoor seating in a smaller patio outside as well. I liked the different options on the menu, many different flavor profiles, and combinations coming together so that you experience cuisine and spices from around the world from your dining experience. Our server did a good job of providing recommendations and telling us a little bit of background on the restaurant, which was very nice. They have a great cocktail menu as well as some options to get some flights for margaritas and other drinks. I tried the our little Havana, which was very tasty and refreshing. I also had the travelers's table board, which was good. The appetizers were really delicious! We tried the crab samosas, which were very tasty and also the guava empanadas were a must try! Definitely a good place to go for brunch or during your trip in Houston.

    Mocktail
    Roselyn A.

    10/10 experience. From the complimentary valet parking, to the nice waiter , and the food was amazing! Now, it was pretty busy in there so make sure to have a reservation. Started off with the crab Samosas that paired really well with the mango sauce. Can't remember the name of the mocktail I ordered, but it has passion fruit in it. It was pretty good but honestly the price for a mocktail vs a cocktail was a 4 dollar difference. Better off with just getting their lemonade which was also good . The watermelon lemonade to be exact . For my entree, I had the Caribbean oxtails. Now, the flavor wasn't Jamaican style oxtails , but it was still pretty good. This dish was savory and sweet. I truly liked how the oxtails fell straight off the bone , so no need to use your hands (IYKYK). Ended the night with their vanilla , cinnamon and ube ice cream. The ube was by far my favorite but all were delightful.

    Huevos a la mexicana
    Sabah D.

    Everything was absolutely AMAZING. Complimentary valet, we had no reservation but walked in for sunday brunch and were seated immediately, superb staff/service and delicious food!! Hugeee portions for the price too Our favorite was definitely the korean fried rice though. It was so, so flavorful and the meat was so tender 10/10 Huevos a la mexicana was solid but a little simple 7/10 We also got the japanese mushroom toast but i didnt get a pic. It was hugee and pretty good but again kinda simple 7/10 And the ube pancakes were sooooo good and fluffy but crispy on the bottom. Not too much ube flavor but it comes with a nice coconut cream sauce! Would get again 8.5/10 Overall ambiance was amazing too. Nice outdoor seating and good vibes all around. Loved it all, would come back!

    Duck pad see ew
    Alex W.

    Jack of all trades, master of none. Especially the Asian food. The dishes weren't bad but the pad see ew was not complex at all. Only tasted salt. Would be fine if it were $15, but was expecting much more for $30. I got this before the unfortunate situation with the owners so I'm not sure how things have changed.

    Crab Samosas
    Dee D.

    I've been to travelers cart several times. I've actually only visited traveler's table for cocktails and to go food. I actually did an in person visit this time for dinner on Sunday. Just a note they close at 2:30 and reopen again at five for dinner service...some of the brunch items like the crab samosas and the oxtail empanadas are on both menus (dinner and brunch) The crab samosas are amazing. I wish I had more even at this moment. Everyone is always so welcoming and helpful here....Everyone but the rude ass valet drivers outside. I mentioned to my dining mate who arrived before me how rude the guys were. He told me that he got into it with them also and another person almost got into a fight with them Having a nasty attitude and expecting a tip for a free service is crazy to me. So it's wasn't just me they just have attitude. They also had attitude when I went before for drinks.

    Hands down my favorite restaurant in Houston. I've been 4 times and it's always a must visit when I'm in town.

    Crab fried rice
    Connor L.

    Complementary valet parking is nice, the lot is small so if everyone had to park themselves it would be hard. Good sized eating area, with a small bar section maybe 8-10 people. The drink and food menu has a alot of selections. Started with the come and take it cocktail and espresso martini. The come and take it was nice cause it wasn't harsh but a little sweet. The espresso was a lighter version more of a flavored coffee than a strong coffee taste. We got the butter chicken, crab fried rice and the ribs. The butter chicken was bomb I heard and the ribs were flavorful and moist. The crab fried rice was a huge portion, soft shell crab was fried perfect and the egg topped was a nice touch. The old fashioned try is legit, pretty much get 3 full old fashioned for the price of 2. Overall wish we tried some apps but definitely somewhere I would go back.

    Pao de Quejio Plate
    Christine L.

    Still amazing food - valet available but street parking if you don't mind waking a few blocks. Nice open patio that is covered which was helpful during the rain tonight. Music was fine and not too loud. Helpful waitstaff. Pluses 1. Good drinks (spiced trader, Oaxaca chocolate, expresso martini) and good food like short rib and adobo snapper 2. Bread pudding Areas to improve None Short rib was good quality and quantity and very rich flavor that accompanied well with polenta and heirloom carrots. Weather was cool and we had the patio to ourselves this Sunday evening. Highly recommended!

    Have been here a few times, and every time has been a great experience. Their brunch and dinner menus are different, and this time we opted for their dinner menu! We came on a Wednesday which was their oysters night and got the Roasted Japanese Miso Oysters which were delicious! My main entree was the Nigerian Suya Skewers with Jollof Rice, and wow!!! I really loved the flavor. Something different and I felt like was a perfect amount for me. Ended it off with a yummy basque cheesecake! Really love the food here and the diverse dishes they offer.

    Pork belly
    Benedict B.

    It was ok, I get what they were aiming for but the flavors were a little off, except for the crab carbonara. Our table also ordered the pao de quiejo, the pork belly, and the oxtail. Comes with a sticker shock/ pricey tab. Our server was quick to take our order and clear our used items. It was a very busy Saturday night but they kept churning orders.

    Lyla A.

    It was a decent experience for a dear friend's birthday. 4 of us dined on the patio. The service was pretty good but not great. My water was never refilled but he did bring out food quickly. We ordered the provoletta cheese appetizer which was tasty. Imagine melted provolone cheese with peppers and a dollop of pesto. It was served with toasted bread. I'd get it again. The hummus with brisket. The hummus was good and the brisket was good. It was a good shareable appetizer. The snapper ponchatrain was delicious. I wish it was a larger potion of fish. I would order this again. The blue crab carbonara was delicious and decadent with si egg yolk mixed in. I would get this again too. The truffles flatbread was meh. I didn't care for it. They brought 3 scoops of dessert for my friend's birthday. Ube, vanilla, and matcha. It was ok. The bread pudding that we ordered was very sweet but tasty. Overall a 3.5 star experience but rounded to 4. Please see my pics and like my review and photos if you find them helpful.

    Lamb Shakshuka (tofu substitute)
    Linda S.

    I love the whole thing of travelers's table. I've been there twice now and it never disappoints. It's a great spot for brunch. The party I was with was vegetarian, and we split the meals together. We ordered lamb shaksuka and substituted the lamb with tofu. It was super flavorful and served with bread. Inside the shaksuka, there was a boiled egg, crumbed cheese, and cherry tomatoes topped with parsley. For those of you who have never tried this, think of a flavorful tomato soup, that you split over bread. We had also ordered the Ube pancakes, and the Ube pancakes were really famous for this location. I feel like I see online all the time showcasing these pancakes. There was a citrus, whipped cream, with fruit, Boba pearls and a caramel sauce drizzle. My only complaint about the pancakes were that they were dry without the drizzle. I wish that there was more moisture inside, overall the flavors were really balanced. They offer many drinks - alcoholic, mocktails as well as lattes. There's a versatile drink menu. Service was fast, and our waitress consistently checked up on us. The interior of the restaurant was also very fun and modern with glass panels for natural lighting. I would recommend you make a reservation online on the weekend because it gets very packed. When you pull up on the street, the lot is very small. There is valet parking offered, but remember to carry some cash with you. The valet is very friendly, and they handle everything pretty fast in the parking lot. But, if you don't want to use valet, there are more locations for street parking in the Westheimer neighborhoods. I parked around a four minute walk away in one of the neighborhoods behind the restaurant.

    Soft shell crab fried rice
    Aron J.

    This place is definitely a must try if you can. The restaurant and staff are very nice. I had an upcoming flight so I brought my luggage and they were able to hold on to it for me while I enjoyed my meal. Their menu has a good amount options to pick from. Salmon Tartare bites were great. The mix was subtle yet you can taste everything as well and a nice crunch from the rice. Soft shell crab fried rice. First the presentation was amazing having little crabs on the plate. It tasted great. A lot of crab flavor in this dish from the chips and the rice and the small fried crabs. The small fried crabs were very salty though.

    Is this a kid friendly restaurant?

    I went for brunch on a Saturday. I can't say I recall seeing children but I don't think you're not allowed to bring them. Just more of an adults environment.

    What is the dress in this restaurant? Is there a full bar? Do we need reservations?

    I would say nice casual. There is a bar, about 8 seats (unsure if you can order food). Reservations are highly recommended - especially for the weekends.

    Hello, do you offer any vegan options? If so, can you give some examples? Thank you.

    Not a lot. The middle eastern vegetable flatbread and both of their main salads are vegan. Almost all of the sides are vegan except for the fries which has an aioli. There is also a vegetable board. They may be able to make something special per… 

    Is this a tough menu to navigate for vegetarians?

    We ordered two vegan dishes that were both delicious. I don't know what other options they have but you can look at the menu and decipher. They were very friendly and accommodating and though I am not a vegetarian I really enjoyed both of those…

The intimate indoor space was lovely and well ventilated, and it felt like there wasn't ever a moment where the bar wasn't slammed. The outdoor space was much of the same, with lots of tables and chairs, and even the trendy swing chairs facing the city. The only thing that was a little bit of a liability were those open flame heaters; it would only take on person to accidentally walk into one or trip onto it. For libations, the drinks were well priced, well made, and always potent. I appreciated the aesthetics, as well as the bartenders who made them. The only part that wasn't exciting was the limited food menu, which did its part as munchies for the drink heavy crowd, but was mediocre otherwise.

I went because this was the only bar open during Labor Day when I had guest visiting. So I would say it's a pretty nice location, considering the fact that it is always consistently open. They had a good menu with different cocktails that were fun and fruity. Otherwise, I did also see people could order coffee at the bar and have different espresso drinks. It looks like the drink that I ordered is also no longer on the menu. The bar prides itself on having a rotating meal changing menu so I think that's a lot of fun when it comes to trying new drinks and new combinations and it truly shows the artistry of the bartender. There was the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior was more of a dimmer, elegant and darker tone. I can see it being pretty classic if you were to go at night time. The bar set up was really beautiful and they had different 2 to 4 seating wooden tables. Overall, the inside would probably only fit around 20 people. I was very sad because we couldn't sit outside. The day before it had rained so every outdoor seating was wet. But I was told that they had a beautiful seating outside with a garden and a pool. Service was good. The bartender came out of the bar to take orders, give menus and give you the check. I will say that it got really busy at the end and it took a while to get our check. There's only one or two bartenders working at one time so if there's multiple people with different drinks that are ordered, it will take a little bit longer.

Not hard to find, it's located to the right as you walk in. What brought us here is that it's listed as one of the top 50 bars in Houston in Houstonia Magazine. Service (3/5): While we had a waitress, she was slow to greet us and slow to check up on us. It's a small bar and there isn't a ton of seating so it's not like she was overwhelmed. For a fancy hotel, you expect better. Maybe sitting at the bar is better than sitting at some seats as we did. Ambiance (4/5): The Colombe d'Or is a beautiful hotel and Bar No. 3 reflects that. It's an elegant spot to grab a drink, although small. Food (N/A): While there are expensive items on the menu, I had dinner earlier that night so I was on a liquid diet. Drinks (3/5): Bar No. 3 is known for its cocktails so I focused on the cocktail list. The list isn't large but it features a nice selection. Like the food, you're going to pay a premium. I enjoyed my adult beverage but felt like it was a bit overpriced. Hitting up hotel bars isn't a common occurrence in Houston unless you're a traveler. For Bar No. 3 to be the only hotel bar on Houstonia's top 50 is a feat in itself.
