    We met some friends there because we watched a review by Chris Shepherd from Eat Like a Local. We originally were only going to eat at the bar, but decided to go ahead and dine in the dinning room. So glad we did. The service was exceptional.... from seating to paying for our bill. The food was tasty and elegantly prepared. If your looking for a nice place to take your wife out for special event/occasion or just wanting to sit at the bar with some friends. This would be a great place to visit. You won't regret it....

    We had a most wonderful Birthday and Anniversary celebration tonight! My husband and I enjoyed our meal. Everything was cooked to perfection, well seasoned and just delightful! The service! Omg our waiters and staff all acknowledged our special occasion, they were attentive and catered to us with excellence. Thank you all for enhancing our day. We had a fantastic experience!

    We loved every minute of or dinning experience. The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing and the desert was so savory. One of the entrees I had was the Simply grilled Gulf fish, which was redfish on that day. I didn’t see it on the menu options below. options below. The waiters were nice and knowledgeable. We will be back for sure.

    This is a very old school and well known fine dining establishment. Sister restaurant to Commanders palace. I ordered the snapping turtle soup and gulf fish Pontchartrain. The turtle soup was so good and meaty. It almost tasted like a chili with how soft and tender the meat was with the soup and good flavor. The Gulf fish Pontchartrain was also great. The shrimp and lump crab and fried flounder (fish of the day) were all excellent with the creole sauce. The fried oysters were ok and wish they were fried a bit more. The staff was very nice and our waiter (Alison) was very charming and funny and extremely helpful in suggestions and the service. She was very nice in suggestions around Houston proper also. The decor is very neat and the atmosphere is lovely with a family type vibe. The holiday spirit at this time was also felt with a sleigh bell necklace given to us as we were greeted...it felt like we were treated as family.

    Giving it an average of 4. The atmosphere is always nice. And the appetizers and desserts were very good, the entrees were ok and the drinks were strong! 🔥🔥 My one food critique is wondering why they choose to use goat cheese with the Shrimp and Grits, as it ruins the grits texture completely. 🤷‍♂️ Francisco, the Captain is great. He was eager to share old and new stories about Brennan’s, which I hadn’t been to in a while but saw the piece on Eat like a Local with Chris Shepherd. (Someone please get him on a training regimen). The new bar is beautiful, but they need to add those 25 cent Martinis to happy hour not lunch. Nobody should be going back to work after having one let alone two of their martinis. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 Francisco’s staff while very attentive were somewhat clumsy. The hostess is a little dry, needs to be more personable and welcoming. I will give the owner credit for following up with us the next day via text to ask us to please come in again before this review. Obviously, service is priority no. 1 for him.
