    entrance from Love Croissants
    Lou C.

    I came to Weights + Measures with a friend. She has been here before and she was bragging about this place. The restaurant is so pretty. I just wish there are more parking spots during lunchtime. I love the dining room. It's so open and bright. We were seated far back from the entrance. It was very crowded. I didn't want to be late to work. So, I ordered something quick. Just a croissant sandwich. I ate it so fast and didn't remember what was in there. It was very delicious. On my way out, I bought some more croissants from the Love Croissants Bakery.

    Everytime I come here the food is so fresh. It was my first time getting the cheese sticks and the pull was nice. The cheese sticks had a nice glaze, which brought extra flavor

    PORK BELLY AREPA BENEDICT
    Jess F.

    This is one of my favorite brunch spots! The interior is so sophisticated and elevated with lots of plants, wood decor, and fun lighting. The servers are also super kind and enthusiastic! My favorite brunch item is the pork belly arepa Benedict - one of the best Benedict's I've ever had! The hollandaise sauce seeps into the soft biscuit, which when combined with the egg's runny yolk and thick slab of pork belly makes for an absolutely delicious bite. The chicken and French toast was also amazing. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. My only qualm was that the French toast crust was a bit rougher than I expected. But when combined with the syrup and fried chicken, each bite was super balanced and delicious. The Yucatán tostada was also delicious, which my friend ordered. The portion was also huge! Overall, I love Weights + Measures and will certainly be back!

    Mozzarella sticks
    Keisha R.

    It was mostly all good. The inside is cool. Nice vibe and decor. The waiter was nice. Sometimes took awhile to get his attention when we were 1 of 2 tables in there on a week night, but he was nice. The food was ok. The sandwich was good. The mozzarella sticks were too breaded and not cheesy. The radiator pasta with meat sauce was pretty good. Pasta was cooked well.

    With a name like Weights & Measures, you could easily assume the restaurant is on the fancy side of things. That was my exact thought a few days ago when my friends suggested we do a late lunch/early dinner here. ​While I was only vaguely familiar with W&M, my expectations immediately took a leap as we pulled into the parking lot. The exterior was impressively modern, looking as though the place had opened just a few years ago. Going inside, I had a feeling my inaugural visit was going to be unforgettable. The interior perfectly combines the vibe of a chic European bakery (it does house one!), a swank New York Michelin-star restaurant, and an exclusive hotel bar. ​The dining area was fairly busy for a Saturday afternoon, but we were quickly seated and tended to. For my first W&M order, I chose the very interesting H-Town Chorizo Carbonara. Our waitress kindly explained that because of its Tex-Mex flavors, it might have a spicy kick, to which I enthusiastically said I was ready to try. The dish would arrive about ten minutes later, topped by a fried egg yolk. ​Having never tried carbonara, I was incredibly eager to dig in. The well-coordinated interaction of the meat, cheese, egg, sauce, and pasta immediately pleased my palate. And the waitress was right: the dish packed a definite spicy punch! My only wish is that it had been a bit bigger, because it was so amazingly tasty. ​While browsing the menu, I caught a glimpse of the brunch offerings. One dish instantly grabbed my attention: the French Toast and Fried Chicken. Although brunch hours were over, I immediately knew it was something to come back for. Having had a great experience with chicken and waffles before (shoutout to Breakfast Klub!), I have high hopes for it. There were plenty of other dishes that sounded like they deserved a shot as well. ​Given that W&M is seemingly marketed as the ideal brunch spot, I'll definitely be back to give it a try some late morning in the future.

    CRACKED EGG* PIZZA
    John B.

    Great place for brunch. This is my 3rd time and I always get the cracked egg pizza. So many other items on the menu that are intriguing as well. It has a cool relaxed vibe, little noisy, but not in a bad way. Open kitchen is always a nice touch. I usually eat at the bar and the service is fast and friendly. Ask for their recommendations. You can't miss!

    Dining Area

    Stopped in for quick bite to eat with a few of my favorite people. Totally enjoyed my lox breakfast. Service was amazing, as they quickly assisted me with accessible seating. The ambiance was refreshing with an open feel. The smell of fresh baked bread was definitely enticing! There is a bakery on site to pick up freshly baked items, or to sit and enjoy a croissant and latte. Next trip I plan to try their pizza. It looked really good. The menu isn't a standard one, it offers a more upscale experience. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food.

    Midtown continental sunrise with scrambled rather than fried eggs
    Edna C.

    I feel like this place is pretty consistent in service, food quality, and tastiness. They have a parking lot. The dining area is always neat. The chai latte was extra extra hot for 10 mins. I ordered the midtown continental sunrise with scrambled eggs. I ate it all! Bonus is that Love Croissants shares some space with them.

    Carnitas Arepas
    Scott D.

    We went for brunch and it was very good. Parking wasn't a problem and we were seated immediately despite not having reservations. The interior is nicely decorated in a mix of elegance and industrial. Service was pretty good despite them having some large event in the private room. The menu offers a lot of choices including several for the semi- vegetarian in our group. All of the dishes were we ordered were excellent.

    S'mores Latte
    Brandea B.

    This is a cute restaurant and I love the ambiance! Went here on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty slow but the service was great. I loved the portion sizes that came with the food, I had the breakfast tacos which were delicious. I do which there were more options on the menu, which is the reasoning for my 4/5 rating. I would definitely come back! Parking was easy! I didn't get a picture of my food but I got one of my yummy s'mores latte!

    ROASTED PORK PUPUSA, PORK BELLY AREPA BENEDICT, MIDTOWN SUNRISE
    Katrina T.

    It shares a door with 'love croissants' which threw me off for a second but when you walk in through the restaurant doors there's a lot of tables and a nice decorated space. I came with some friends for brunch on a Saturday around 11:45. We all were able to find a parking spot in the lot and get seated quickly. Our server was very attentive and was able to answer any questions we had about the menu. There were a lot of yummy options for brunch. We got an espresso martini, an iced tiramisu latte, and a hot latte. The drinks were delicious! For food we ordered the arepas, pupusas, and the midtown continental. I ordered my eggs over medium but they were actually really runny. So I was bummed about that but everything else was fine and tasted good. Would come back!

    Birria Pizza
    Bradley L.

    W+M used to be a a solid place to get a last minute reservation with some solid food. I went last night and only one person at dinner enjoyed what they ordered. I ordered the birria pizza add jalapeños and I kid you not it must have had 3 lbs of cheese on it. Jalapeños were forgotten despite the restaurant being basically empty. It feels like basically everything is the same with the new ownership except the quality of the food. So if you're looking for over priced experience with lack luster food drop in to W+M while it's till open. Once we were waited on I will say our server was good and attentive. Got me some jalapeños after the fact and came by the right amount. Just wished to food was back to its original quality.

    Maple salad
    Katarina C.

    Went for brunch, coffee was good *iced caramel macchiato* But I feel like the food could've been way better The cracked egg pizza was extremely salty, I ended up only having one slice The artichoke was super yummy! The salad, lacked substance And I did not try the French toast and chicken. However my friend ate it and seemed to enjoy it. The service was good The vibe was super cute But I don't think I'd go back for brunch, maybe I'll try it for dinner.

    How is parking?

    Hello! Parking is super easy. We have our own lot and street parking. During the week, we have complimentary valet service at Lunch.

    I see online that they have Black Hole Cold Brew Coffee on tap for brunch. Is it still available during other hours of operation? Been trying to find somewhere with coffe on nitro. Thanks in advance!

    Not sure about this place, but Snooze on Montrose and Westheimer has Black Hole's cold brew on nitro

    Good or nah?

    Good* (but pricey)* Breakfast (bakery opens at 6:00; restaurant at 7:00)…

We were told it would take a while for the food to come out, which was fine because we were prepared to sit down and eat. However, another staff member then told us they would not be able to serve us because most of the workers were leaving at 2:00 p.m., leaving only one person in the kitchen. When I asked what time the restaurant closed, I was told 4:00 p.m. If the restaurant closes at 4:00 p.m. and reservations are being accepted, customers should still be served, especially when the reservation was already on the schedule. We ended up leaving without being seated or served. This was a very poor experience and extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

Normally, I have to steer completely clear of bread due to gluten, but they use a high-quality, special flour here that my system handled with absolutely no issues or reactions.

    CUSTOMER REVIEW - A LUXURIOUS & UNFORGETTABLE DINING EXPERIENCE…read moreHouston Restaurant Week has officially begun, and I chose Guard and Grace as my inaugural stop, a decision that unfolded into an evening of elegance, precision, and refined hospitality. From the very first moment, the experience felt curated, intentional, and worthy of the city's most celebrated culinary week. As I approached the building, the valet team greeted me with polished warmth. Their professionalism set the tone immediately. (Valet is $15 plus tip.) The entrance itself felt like stepping into a modern sanctuary, with sleek architecture, soft lighting, and a quiet hum of anticipation. Inside the lobby, Guard and Grace revealed itself on the left, framed by lush greenery and sophisticated lettering that radiated prestige. The design was a perfect blend of contemporary luxury and understated glamour, the kind of ambiance that makes you instinctively straighten your posture and inhale a little deeper. The hostess greeted me with a smile that felt genuinely welcoming, not rehearsed. She guided me through the restaurant, where the atmosphere was a symphony of dim lighting, polished textures, and the soft clinking of glassware. It felt like stepping into a world where every detail, every sound, every scent, every gesture was orchestrated with intention. Service: The Gold Standard of Hospitality The moment I sat down, I met JERRY N., who I can confidently say is the crown jewel of Guard and Grace's service team. His presence was magnetic, warm, knowledgeable, and effortlessly attentive. He didn't simply take orders; he curated an experience. Jerry spoke about the menu with the ease of someone who knows it intimately, offering recommendations tailored to our palate. His guidance felt like having a private dining concierge, someone who understands flavor, balance, and the art of hospitality. JERRY alone is enough reason to return. Restaurant Week Menu - A Culinary Showcase FIRST COURSE Anson Mills Cornbread Skillet - warm, golden, and aromatic, crowned with grilled shrimp salsa and macha agave chili butter that melted luxuriously into every crevice Caesar Salad - crisp romaine, a delicate parmesan crisp, vibrant cherry tomatoes, and housemade croutons with the perfect crunch Gulf Crab Corn Hush Puppies - tender, perfectly fried, paired with green goddess aioli and Old Bay remoulade The sauces were transcendent -- bright, herbaceous, and unforgettable. SECOND COURSE Surf & Turf (+$12) - a 4oz prime NY strip paired with 1/2 Alaskan black cod (The cod was flavorful, though I personally prefer it well‑done.) DESSERT Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies (4) - warm, soft, indulgent Blueberry Yuzu Tart - a stunning balance of citrus brightness and delicate sweetness Carrot Cake - grilled pineapple, carrot cremeaux, ginger ice cream, creating a luxurious harmony of spice and warmth Every dish felt like a celebration of craftsmanship, layered flavors, thoughtful textures, and impeccable presentation. Teamwork & Leadership: The Engine Behind the Excellence One of the most striking elements of the evening was the staff's precision. Their coordination was mesmerizing, a quiet ballet of movement and awareness: Tables refreshed before you even noticed a crumb. Drinks replenished with seamless timing. Courses delivered with effortless flow Staff communicate with subtle glances and gestures. This level of harmony only exists under exceptional leadership. TIM ROBINSON, the manager, moved through the restaurant with the grace of a conductor guiding a symphony. His presence was calm, confident, and deeply attentive. He checked on guests with genuine care, ensuring every detail aligned with the restaurant's high standards. Our interaction with him was brief because any concerns we had were resolved immediately. My steak arrived medium instead of medium‑well, and Jerry corrected it promptly and professionally. He also brought out the Crab Fried Rice, a shareable dish overflowing with generous, buttery lumps of crab meat, rich, decadent, and absolutely divine. Beverages - Crafted with Intention Tropical Tango - pineapple, lime, coconut, ginger beer; refreshing, bright, and tropical Spicy Margarita - flavorful with a bold kick; a slightly larger cocktail glass would elevate it further I was initially served Slay My Name, which wasn't my preference, but Jerry corrected it instantly with grace. Final Reflections Guard and Grace delivered an evening that transcended dining. It was an experience woven with luxury, warmth, and impeccable execution. Tim Robinson, your leadership is evident in every corner of the restaurant. Your professionalism, presence, and commitment to excellence elevate the entire establishment. Even though our interaction was brief, your character and standards shine through every detail. I left feeling impressed, satisfied, and genuinely excited to return. Guard and Grace have earned a permanent place on my list.

After that it dropped off again: the sides were oversized but flat on flavor, the drinks were just okay, and most of the better steaks were an upcharge on top of the Restaurant Week price, which felt off for a prix fixe. Dessert did land well. One last oddity for a restaurant this size, we left smelling like cooked food, which you don't expect from a place with real ventilation. Bottom line: the filet flight is genuinely good, but the wait, the weak apps and sides, the upcharges, and the lingering smell made this hard to recommend at the price.

    I came here for my birthday and I had slight reservations only bc i'm not a huge fan of New…read moreAmerican food. But WOW this place did not disappoint. The service was 10/10, food was amaaaazing. We looked at other reviews before going and went with an app we didn't hear much about, but an entree that we did hear amazing things about. Appetizer: everyone talks about the dilly bread but honestly, the puff puff pass sounded better, esp the scotch bonnet aioli. 10/10 loved the flavors together, esp the fried bread with the aioli Entrees: we had the pork belly special and the nono's pasta. Everyone raves about the pasta and rightfully so. The noodles with the right amount of bolognese was such a flavorful comfort food. The pork belly was also delicious but the pasta hit better. Dessert: of course i had to get both! We got the famous olive oil cake and their banana rum cheesecake. We didnt taste much banana unfortunately but the cheesecake was tasty. But olive oil cake takes the cake! This place is a must to try in Houston.

    Houston has done it again! I'm going to be a little controversial here, but why is the food so much…read morebetter here than it is it Dallas? Had a 5:30pm resy, seated outside right away that Saturday evening--it was a full house 45 minutes later. You'd be a fool to skip the dilly bread--a complete fool! The rolls are pillowy and warm. I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem! Until next time, Nobie!

It also felt like a third space of sorts, because I was hanging out with a well connected friend, and everyone who came in was a who's who of the Houston restaurant/nightlife scene, and gathered for what turned out to be an unplanned hang out. They were hosting a vinyl swap night, so folks were coming in to peruse the many boxes of vinyls, and a DJ spun classic r&b tunes. I hear that on some nights they make space for a dance floor so people can show off their best two step in the space. The drinks were great and well priced but the wine selection is what got me. I was told they were inspired by Japan's many vinyl listening bars-- having been to many across Japan as well as many NYC imitators, this place actually impressively comes close. A true gem in Montrose.

    Service was solid and Kevin was an excellent waiter who took great care of us. Music choice put on…read morethe patio was questionable but otherwise nothing wrong with ambiance. Regarding the food, the Frisée Salad was pretty good, well dressed and flavorful. The chicken sandwich was okay. The batter was crispy and flaky but it had no flavor. What made it a lot better was the coleslaw that brought a great deal of tang and moisture. The steak was not quite for me. It came on a bed of sauce that was flavorful with fresh veggies but it did not go well with the steak. Perhaps chicken would've suited better. The steak itself was dry and quite chewy. For dessert we had the carrot cake tres leches which was decent. The carrot cake flavor was there but the moisture from the cake was not fully spread in the cake. Overall nothing here was bad but with the plethora of restaurants in the Houston area I can't justify recommending or returning.

    I really enjoyed my whole experience here. The vibe is unique for Houston. The building has a…read moreunique vibe and i'm obsessed with the front door. After entering, you are immediately greeted like family in a relaxing environment but with top notch food. It was my friend's bday so we celebrated with complimentary bubbles which was a nice touch. 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.

    When you're stuck in town but want to feel like you're in a tropical destination, The Toasted…read moreCoconut is where you need to come. The team behind the popular restaurant Nobie's opened up this tiki inspired restaurant. Tiki bars happen to be one of my favorite varieties of bars so I was more than excited to finally check it off my list. I had recently seen them on the Food Network as well. They share a lot with another popular dining spot so parking can be a little difficult in their lot. You can find street parking or park across the street in an overflow lot. Customer service was great from start to finish. We had just ate next door and our intentions were to come in here just for cocktails, but I couldn't leave without trying some of the popular items. I wanted the most tropical drink I could find on the menu so I started off with the Blue Hawaiian. I saw fire on the description so my extra self needed to have it. I'm a big rum guy so this drink was right up my alley and very boozy with two types of rum. It was very coconut forward with pineapple being the secondary flavor. One was enough for me to feel just right. Since we had just ate, we decided to share the World Famous Cheeseburger. This was a great burger. I don't know if they were going for the smash effect, but it had smash burger characteristics. It had all my favorite things that are musts on a burger like American cheese and red onions. It also had a very nice chili aioli that added great flavor to the burger. I came on another stop for a drink visit shortly after and tried the pork dumplings and popcorn chicken. These were also very good. If I lived in the area, this place would easily be a place I would frequent often. I will most definitely be back!

    Passed by this place multiple times and finally decided to stop in for drinks and appetizers…read more The ambience grabs your attention just walking into the restaurant they have string lights along the walkway and low amber lights as you go inside. They have an outdoor eating area, a bar area, and seating in the very back. It's very spacious, comfortable, and intimate. The theme of the restaurant is seen all over from the moment you enter, to the music, the menu and the restroom. They paid close attention to detail with decorating. We had an amazing server, delicious drinks (a must try), and ok food. We ordered four drinks the painkilla, vamos à la playa, captains grog, and the Hemingway daiquiri. All were great drinks and we loved how they give you flavor characteristics of the drinks on the menu. The appetizers that we ordered were the sweet and sour cauliflower and the pork dumplings, which is why I gave this place four stars. The presentation of both appetizers were excellent. However, the pork dumplings were disappointing. They came with only six dumplings for $17, were served cold, and are very bland. In my opinion, they weren't worth the price. On the other hand, the sweet and sour cauliflower was our favorite and is definitely a must-try.
