We called in ahead of time to ensure seating and brunch was still available and sure enough they serves brunch until 3pm on Saturdays. The hostess kindly took our names down and we were seated immediately upon arrival. Our server, or lack thereof, never helped us but luckily a staff member noticed and took over. The food was pretty darn good. We had the smoked salmon and the donuts and fried chicken. I'd hate to say it but the smoked salmon is quite doable at home. The bread was too hard for us to cut through. I enjoyed the smoked salmon with a side of perfectly crisp and seasoned potatoes. My boyfriend ordered the donuts and chicken and it was delicious! The dish is basically two donuts with a fried chicken in the middle. It was quite delicious but very heavy. We also got a side of the sausage which I would HIGHLY recommend. So good! Each entree was about $14. We also decided to try their vanilla lattes and it did not disappoint! Overall I really enjoyed Weights + Measures and would come back! read more

Came here for an early dinner before a show and wanted to try this place out without a crowd. There is a small parking lot that we were actually able to park for free in (rarity in that area!) and they had valet service set up when we left. I had to go big and try the Ramos Fizz cocktail. I mean 16 bucks for a cocktail is very hard to justify, but the ingredients looked so interesting that I indulged. It is very difficult to explain, but this drink tastes like a cloud. The texture with the egg whites and the light lemon flavor with a little nutmeg grated on top was so perfect. My husband ordered the punch, which that night was made with gin and oranges and was very refreshing. We ordered the Pressed Eggplant (meh. would not order again) and Smoked Salmon (very fresh, but a little too much cucumber for me) to start, and then took a chance with the Roasted Carrot pizza. I've never had anything like that pizza, it was so well balanced and the carrots and crust were cooked perfectly. It is not your normal pizza, but I would highly recommend it for a change from the 'normal' Italian style. read more

Went in during happy hour and was slightly disappointed. The drinks were okay but not amazing but I was mostly disappointed in the wait time for our food. We had ordered the sliders and it took them 15 minutes to make. There were only a few people in the restaurant so it shouldn't take that look and they had a lot people working. Not worth my time at all. read more

This place was suggested to my colleagues and I since we're in town for business so we decided to check it out. The restaurant is in an area where there are some homeless but don't let that deter you. The decor is very modern and industrial which I loved. They have a diverse drink menu and the food is very fresh. We ordered the white wine gnocchi, onion stack and mortadella with a fried egg. All were super yummy. Then we ordered a sausage pizza and a mushroom pizza to split. The appetizer portions were large and the pizzas were large enough to split between the 4 of us. The pizzas are cut into 6 large slices and the crust is thin. It looks like their bread is their specialty so I definitely recommend ordering a pizza. Overall the place, food and price were great. read more

This place deserves a second chance. I think. My first visit to W+M was Sunday brunch. Not spectacular food, not a great waiter (at all). Overall I was unimpressed, but I think there is so much potential. I could be judging a book by its cover on this one, but I think W+M could pull off some delicious food, well made drinks, and fine fine fine baked goods... it just hasn't yet. I do want to go again and try some different menu items. I ate the B.L.A.T. and it was meh-L-A-T. Nobody at the table took a bite and said "Wow!" In a food city like Houston, that should be a requirement these days. read more

Very bad experience overall. I went to brunch here with friends because we had heard good things and wanted to try something new. The menu is very subpar. The place was very busy, which was surprising. Two people got the toasted everything bagel and one got the Americano and all 3 of us got sick afterwards. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Nice place , good atmosphere. There are a lot of tables but they only have one table for right and the rest only seat 6 so it's not a place for a big group going to the bar. That being said the drinks are great. That goes for the bar and the coffee shop. I didn't have anything at the bakery but that looked amazing as well. My bartender was unhappy to be serving me and my friend but the other bartender, Christine I think was amazing ! All in all I'd go back and get another Bellini ! read more

A very good breakfast/brunch at Weights and Measures. While I liked everything I had and think that Weights and Measures does it well, I kept thinking that other places make certain dishes better. For example, I liked the pizza but thought that Dolce Vita and Coltivare's are better; I liked the scone and sticky bun but thought Common Bond's are better. Weights and Measures is a nice spot, but not my absolute favorite. read more

Why only two stars? Where do I even begin? The one star is for the setup/decor of the restaurant and the second star is for the presentation of the menu and entrees but other than that, my girlfriends and I were none too pleased with our experience. Five of my girlfriends and I were meeting here for brunch for one of their birthdays, and I was exceptionally excited because of all the hype on the local foodie blogs in the previous months leading up to the opening of the restaurant. I do have to say the one thing that stood out to me upon arriving is the airiness and openness of the dining area. They have huge glass windows to one side of the restaurant where natural lighting comes in and modern decor. Getting seated originally was no problem at all - there was a table ready; however, a couple of the girls were bringing their children so we opted to sit outside where there was more room which the hostess was accommodating. Let me preface this by saying that one of the most important part of a dining experience is getting good service - it can make or break it. This is the main reason why I cannot give a higher rating. Once we were settled at our table our waiter came out to take our drink orders, and he did not look happy to be at work. With a straight face and no expression he asked what we wanted and then left. He came back took our order - same thing - he was just matter of fact. It seemed to take forever and a day to get our entrees which when we finally did I admit I liked the presentation of the entrees - all on a big, round white platter which was simplistic. My girlfriends ordered a second round of drinks which was never put into the system and it took the manager, who came out to check on us, to get us our drinks. She apologized and comped them. As I looked into the restaurant it seemed our waiter had a completely different persona for his other tables than he did for us - he was smiling and chatting it up with the other guests. We all felt like the middle child who is always ignored! Then it came time to get our checks, and this was an ordeal in itself. Instead of one single itemized receipt the waiter brought us fifteen receipts with two items printed on each so it was hard to divvy up amongst us. I simplified it by writing on the back of a receipt each person's full name and what items should be charged on her card. And....the wait continued. It got so frustrating that my friend went inside to say something to the manager - and it takes alot to get her upset. We were more than willing to pay but Shannon was kind enough to comp our two meals and said she was going to address the issue with our waiter. I'll give the place one more try but hopefully with a different outcome! read more

Love, love, LOVE this place; the staff, the food (omg), the hang - ALL great reasons to keep comin back.

way to expensive. if is sponsored, it may be worth going. For one scallop and few shrimp in a dish(~$30) and one appetizer, one wine glass, we ended up paying close to 90 dollars including tip:) The food is not that great read more

Been here twice, both times for the brunch. The cocktails are on point and you shouldn't skip out on any of the sweets/pastries, which I believe are sources from the well-regarded Slow Dough bakery that is attached. Beyond that, this place makes fantastic egg dishes, has great breads for reasons already discussed, and has a knockout breakfast sausage patty that's mixed inhouse. They also have various pizzas which I haven't tried but would bet are fantastic. And where else can you get a fried chicken and cake donut combo plate? The best brunch spot in town? Quite possibly. read more

Drinks were very good. We got the John Daly Compromise and the mimosa. Recommend the chicken and cake doughnuts and the avocado toast. Plenty of parking. Great staff. Music a little loud but still a good ambiance. The space is contemporary modern and made for a great space for Sunday brunch. read more

One of the causal places I like to go around downtown for Brunch or Happy Hours. With an in-house bakery, this restaurant has wide variety of bread, brunch, and dinner to offer. Their service can get a bit hectic during the busy hours, but I usually like to go to the bartenders. They are very knowledgeable and fun to deal with. If i can get there early enough, I like to share a pizza, which is only $10 during happy hour and order few drinks while getting some work done or chatting with friends. read more

I liked this place, went for dinner, sketchy area at night. I heard it's less creepy during the day for brunch. Atmosphere was pleasant almost like a hipster joint with upscale cuisine.the server was fine, nothing spectacular, not rude but definitely not as attentive as a sever should be. He would also disappear for long periods after dropping off food or drinks. It was weird. I started with a Bellini. Loved it! Watched the bar tender make it and was in awe. She made it like a true mixologist, muddling orange rind and sugar dusting. It was super cool and my drink was delicious and very sweet which is exactly the kind of drink I like. Starters we had the gnocchi with truffle butter and a bread and truffle butter board. Both were dry good and flavorful. The board also had pickled beets and radishes. Excellent app. Dinner was the mussels. The sauce is to die for! Big bowl but just not filling so definitely order something else with substance or fill up on dessert :) Dessert was the flourless chocolate cake. Delicious ! Very chocolates and not too dense, served with vanilla gelato and a sweet very sauce which tasted like strawberries. Basically a 3.5 but I'll round up. I'll be back to try brunch and the pastries! read more

W+M is one of the few coffee shops in my area that is open at 6 AM with their full selection out and ready to go. They have a bakery in the front (where you order) and a coffee bar once you enter into the main restaurant. If you go in the mornings, you can see their bakers forming the different pastries while you wait on your coffee. I have only been here for their coffee and to eat from the bakeshop (my go-to's are the chocolate croissant and flat white with almond milk), and each time I am impressed with the quality of their coffee and baked goods. read more

So good. It was my first time having avocado toast and eggs. The place is very funky and hip. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were very funny and friendly. The check came in a retro cassette tape case. This place was awesome. The food was very good. read more

Walking into this place for dinner I had to stop by the bakery, which is in the entrance, bc it smells amazing. I got a couple of things one of which happened to be a croissant. Later that evening I popped that little piece of heaven into my microwave and enjoyed. Best Ive ever had. Now this is not a light airy piece of bread. But if you could make butter flaky, this is it. I will definently be back for more pastries and breads. As far as dinner. Not as exciting. The bread apps are not described very well so you don't really know what you are getting. The 2 I tried were good the peppercorn and the pea. I also had the pizza. The crust was perfection for a wood oven pizza. Otherwise not exciting. Service was good. everyone was nice. Went on a wed night. The place was wide open. I do not think I'll be back for dinner anytime soon. But i would be excited to try their breakfast. read more

We went for lunch and this was pretty disappointing, particularly given the hype and the prices. I had the burger, which was a flavorless mess. There are so many better burgers in Houston. I thought I would enjoy the sesame seed bun but the bottom but was over-toasted and hard. It came with 3 tiny sauce accompaniments on the side: mayo, "harissa ketchup", and a deli mustard. None of them were any good. The gourmet ketchup didn't even taste like ketchup - it tasted like a mild salsa paste. How do you mess up ketchup? The burger itself was a mess to eat - it fell apart easily. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich - at the waiter's recommendation, who claimed it was her favorite on the menu. It was actually pretty nasty. The "marrow"naise was interesting, not good, and the pulled pork was almost as flavorless as the burger. Worst pulled pork I've had in Houston. Both dishes came with some sort of cabbage on the side, but it was extremely sour and had too much vinegar. Did we order the wrong things? Maybe. But given this was the waiter's "favorite" I can only imagine the rest of the menu. We tried one pastry from the bakery and it was decent. read more

The cocktails are very unique and delicious! Brunch was yummy! Staff was wonderful! Great music and fantastic atmosphere!

Happy hour is where it's at! They have great drinks and good food. Staff has been very nice as well. Definitely worth a try! Parking can be tight though. read more

Cocktails were pretty good. I had their bloody mary which included grapefruit and orange. Love the spin! They also had a decent craft beer selection. My boyfriend and I had the classic glazed donut for our brunch "appetizer". We had seen the culturemap.com video of the bakery and had to give it a try. It was very refreshing. Definitely light on the glaze and it was big enough to split and not ruin your appetite. I had the peanut butter, nutella, bacon, banana, fried egg on a brioche toast. So many flavors mixed together that I LOVED. I only ate half of it and was struggling to eat more. My boyfriend had the special, rabbit confit eggs benedict. My only complaint for not giving it a 5-stars, was the waitress failed to mention the special was $28. Everything else on the menu was in the $10-$15 range. He enjoyed his meal but not enough to spend $28 on it. We were displeased when we received the bill. We will be back! (And we will now know to ask about the "special" prices) read more

Have gone here mulitle times for dinner and for happy hour. Breads are fresh - made right next door and the drinks are unique and tasty. Happy hour brick oven pizza and few drinks is our go-to cheap/early date night. read more

This was my first time here and it looks like a great place to eat and drink. It has a coffee bar, bakery, restaurant and bar. I had a latte to go and it was good but expensive. Wish I had time to stay and eat. All the food I saw looked great. They also have an area with couches and chairs to sit and have your coffee. I'll try to get back here to eat and maybe I'll be able to give it more stars. read more

Typically when I quaff, I stick to beer / wine, or sip straight booze (not mixed drinks). That being said, I made an exception during the soft opening, because the Harvey Wallbanger & Long Island Ice tea cocktails they magically contrived....were outrageously DELICIOUS !!!!! read more

So happy to have this place two blocks from my house. It makes walking over for a pastry really easy. I have been several times now and everything has been good. I have to echo the complaint about the hostess. Does she hate her job or just not understand it. I've never seen her smile and she doesn't seem to be very accommodating. Since you have to get up to go look at the pastries if you want to order one, my friend and I did that after we put an order in for coffee once we finished our lunch. The waiter walked us over and while we were looking for goodies, the hostess tried giving our table away. She even had to clear off our personal items to do it. When we walked up and explained we were still dining there she just looked at us stupidly and had no idea what to do. She sulked off and never said sorry to anyone. She let it look like we swooped in to steal the table on a busy lunch day so the people she was trying to seat threw a fit at us that we were taking their table. What a dumb system. Not very fluid. All in all I would return because I usually don't dine in and everyone else has been incredibly helpful and accommodating and equipped with problem solving skills. I think a waitress named Mallory was pretty great. read more

Weights + Measures is not your typical restaurant. Rather, it's a bar / coffee shop / bakery / restaurant all together. Knowing this, I was intrigued, however, skeptical of how it would be pulled off. The restaurant is in a not so nice part of midtown, however, the restaurant seems to be at the forefront of the gentrification of the area. I went for lunch and was pleased with the options on the lunch menu, although they are rather expensive for lunch. The average meal would probably cost 15 dollars for lunch, however, portions are large and quality excellent. I had the blackened redfish special and tried some of the pepperoni pizza. Both were quite good. The chips with blue cheese were somewhat disappointing, however, one off item can't detract from the rest of the experience. I will definitely be back to try some of their craft cocktails or sip on some of the beers on their extensive menu. Definitely worth checking out. read more

A friend and I visited W+M for brunch and it was delicious!! The first thing that struck me was the ambiance: clean, big, open spaces, minimalist decor, colorful, tables were close together but large enough so that you don't feel cramped. I loved the atmosphere, the food was tasty and the customer service was fair (which is saying a lot for me). Honestly, my best experience was in the bakery where Epiphany made some fantastic suggestions. I also met Max, one of the chefs who was SO nice!!! Definitely try his carrot cake, which is named after him, because it's delicious! The restaurant menu was eclectic and the bakery selections were excellent. read more

Came here for happy hour. Service was great. I ordered a margarita pizza. The pizza had great flavor but was so thin everything was falling off and was hard to eat. Not a date meal, but was still good. read more

Review for now limited to the bakeshop, which I thought was excellent. Very good coffee, and my chocolate-almond croissant was really well done. Certainly a strong competitor to Common Bond on that front. There aren't really any seats in the bakeshop, but for a quick and excellent coffee and baked good or bagel with lox, this is a great option. We'll see what I think about the restaurant. read more

I don't normally write reviews but felt I should make others aware that this restaurant will take holiday reservations weeks in advance, then call you the day of the holiday to 'verify' that you're aware you are required to order a four-course meal at a high fixed price. Rather transparently dishonest way to do business and I would recommend you go elsewhere. read more

I became semi-obsessed with this place on the first visit, this review spans 3 dinner visits. The first time I ate there I was looking for something new; a bit of strange. The Waiter was an absolute doll and did an incredible job taking care of us. We started with the potato gnocchi, the sauce was tasty but the gnocchi was under-seasoned, making it a lot like lumpy mashed potato's with no butter or salt. We split the Wagyu Steak, it was cooked so impeccably that this is what set off my fascination, the only thing we didn't do is lick the plate completely clean. As a finale we shared the Doughknots, beautifully fried with a clover honey and powdered sugar. I tired the Pina Colada and sent it back; the mixologist didn't match the "rums" very well at all; completely unbalanced. The waiter said that their drinks are "boozy" and over-whelm most people. I disagree, if you match the liquors correctly it doesn't matter how strong the drink is. I had the Grasshopper as a second excellent choice. It takes forever to get a alcoholic drink of any kind from the bar. My second visit I went with several friends, the waiter didn't seem to know how to handle a group of people having a social outing. He would talk to me and pretty much ignored the rest of the group. We started with the Ribeye Meatballs, which were amazing and the pressed eggplant with bread....only one piece of bread? When you have a table full of people sharing a starter, please bring bread accordingly. I had a Jungle Bird as a drink, it was very bitter, almost disgustingly bitter; but the food helped balance it so I didn't send it back. One of my friends got the Long Island and didn't like it (gave to someone else), tried the Daily Punch ordered that and when hers arrived it was completely different then the one that had been served just 10 minutes before. Consistency is a huge problem here. A Peperoni Pizza was ordered, it was good but the topping are sparse and the middle of the pizza was soggy. Not what you would expect with a "wood fire pizza oven." I once again order the Wagyu Steak, but this time it was under-seasoned and over cooked. Consistency simply doesn't reside here. We had two order is the Doughknots, one couple had that as their "meal." The order I shared was over-cooked and greasy. No consistency. Had the grasshopper with my dessert....this in my opinion is the ONLY drink they have perfectly balanced for what it is. The third trip was darn near a disaster. The waitress was more concerned with her closing duties than providing service. Could not explain the menu items. My friend and I split a Sausage Pizza with Mushrooms instead of onions...I was so hoping the soggy mess of a center from the first time was simply because it had been sitting for awhile, but alas it was not. The edges of the pizza were burnt, and the center of the pizza was a flaccid mess. Almost no cheese is put on the pizza, and the dough has no taste what-so-ever; plus if it isn't burnt it is a floppy, soggy disaster. The only good thing I can say is they didn't charge me to substitute an ingredient. I tired to order a beer, my friend ordered the daily punch. My friends drink was served and after about 5 minutes the waitress came over to tell me they didn't have my beer at that time. The problem with the beer menu is almost every last beer on it is bitter to extremely bitter. Not a fan of bitter, so I skipped the dinner drink. Once again we ordered the Doughknots, they were cold and extremely over-cooked; near closing they had been prepared and sat until we had eaten, gross! I ordered the Irish Coffee and almost threw up with one sip, the Coffee and Whiskey were so bitter that my stomach turned instantly. The waitress was less than gracious. I can NOT stress enough how INCONSISTANT the preparation of the food is. It is almost unforgivable how much my experiences differed in a short span of less than 2 weeks between visits, which is the reason for the rating...one day you could get blown away by a perfect meal, the next you could be wishing you went to Chili's (I dislike Chili's). As far as the bar drinks go; if you have no taste buds and simply want to get drunk really fast on over-priced drinks then this is a good place to go. There is little variety for different palates, you must like bitter/sour. Also, the level of service seems to be affected by how stylish or attractive your table maybe. On ALL occasions I noticed several tables being given extra special attention by one of the 10,000 managers they have wandering about. In one review it was mentioned that every meal comes with a bread basket, Not ONE SINGLE time was I ever offered a bread basket, but I did see the "special" people receiving bread baskets, unsure why they rated a bread basket and no one else in the restaurant rated the same. I still plan on going for Breakfast one day, that seems the be the meal that gets the best review read more

I have picked up donuts from here for breakfast and enjoyed lunch here. The space is large, bright and airy. I got a chicken Parmesan sandwich for lunch which was really good with onion strings. The best part was the dough knot dessert at the end. Do NOT leave without trying the dessert no matter how full you are. The dough knot balls are the best thing ever - soft, warm and sweet! The donut I had for breakfast was ok. There are other places in the city that have better donuts such as hugs n donuts. But definitely a great place for a casual lunch. read more

I came in for an evening drink and appetizers with a friend and had the most delightful waiter of whom never gave us his name so I can't recognize him by name in this review. The parking was tight for a Monday night and a restaurant that has its own parking lot. I didn't notice a valet but I did see a security guard in a security car taking up a spot which I was OK with because while driving up I noticed some activities that were questionable. I ended up parking on the street right behind where the security car was parked. I had a glass of wine and my friend had a mixed drink, both refreshing but not much worth mentioning here. We split a smoked salmon appetizer with dill that we ate on top of bruschetta bread. I really enjoyed it and found it to be flavorful and refreshing, a great appetizer and for the purposes of our evening, it hit the spot as a small snack as we enjoyed our drinks. For my next visit I think it'd be better for a group of friends to explore more within the menu and eat a full meal. read more

Weights + Measures is a short bike ride from our place so we decided to give it another shot - and im so glad we did! This is my third time and I had a much experience so my review goes from 2 star to 4 star. The avocado toast was spectacular and blended tons of different flavors. They create all of their sauces in house, down to the ketchup which was wonderful on the potatoes. I recommend getting the donut holes for dessert. They wrap up the meal nicely and aren't too sweet. Make sure to make a reservation if you are coming for Sunday brunch! We will be back! read more

This place would hold its own in Denver (which I consider the ultimate compliment). Hip, spacious, comfortable, with great food and cocktails (the wine and beer lists looked well thought out too). The poached eggs were beautiful. A minor quibble that the breakfast potatoes are basically french fries in the shape of cubes, but the toast was grilled on the grill which made it interesting and full of flavor. My wife has the French Toast which was good. It was paired with Spinach (which seems like a strange pairing). The Spinach was perfectly cooked. Brunch cocktails were great. There were too many interesting cocktails for us to try in one sitting. We'll have to return for that. Service was simply great: prompt and polite. Looks like a great happy hour spot. We want to return to try the pizzas and charcuterie. read more
