- LDLoDNHouston •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoCame here for a girls night dinner. Service was great and the food was perfect. Everything was delicious- the mussels, the steak tartar, braised short rib, corn soup, beet salad, and steak frites. Nothing was bad and the restaurant was decorated so nicely for Christmas! Definitely gets busy since it’s an instagramable spot but the food lives up to the hype.More infoAnnabelle BrasseriePrice: Moderate• French• Montrose•4.4
- ZZeemyHouston •9 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe food and service was excellent. They had great specials to choose from. The white truffles were amazing. My only complaints are that the tables are too close together and it is soooo loud inside that it is very hard to have a conversation.More infoZanti Cucina Italiana - River OaksPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• River Oaks•4.7
- JJohnrvipHouston •168 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThis is our second time here and it won’t be our last. This time we brought some friends that also like nice restaurants, good food and good service and I was interested to know their opinions. All 4 of us were delighted with the arrange of the different dishes that we shared, DELICIOUS! The service was real good and the GM Chris Lampa was so kind to fill us in on the company’s background and their intentions in Houston. As we told him this is a local restaurant for us and we intend to be back often. Well worth a try guys, if you are with family or friends try sharing a bunch of the small dishes and I know that you won’t be disappointed.More infoHudson House - River OaksPrice: Moderate• American• River Oaks•4.5

- HRHopeRHouston •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023I can't say enough good things about this place! Not only did they exceed our expectations, they made sure this was one of our best dining experiences ever. Steaks were cooked to perfection and dessert was amazing. To top it off, our server was Stephanie A. She was on top of everything, and had a very outgoing and knowledgeable personality. She was attentive but not overbearing. We will definitely be back soon.More infoSteak 48 - HoustonPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• River Oaks•4.9
