What a wonderful experience! My friend and I came here to celebrate her birthday. The place was packed and there was a bit of a wait time. Not a large waiting area but they have a nice picture wall backdrop that you can take pics in front of. Complementary glasses of champagne were provided. Nice decor, beautiful ambience and music at a level where you can still carry on a conversation. Our server was amazing and gave us some really good recommendations. For appetizers: The Seafood dip was incredible and I would come back just for the Selva salad! So fresh and that dressing was chef’s kiss! Entrees: We shared the NY strip steak and Peruvian chicken. Sides: We had Brussels sprouts and Mascarpone mashed potatoes. The steak was good (not quite medium like we wanted but still very good) and the spicy cajun butter topping added to the flavor. The chicken in itself was ok but it was the Ahi sauce under it that stole the show. It brought everything beautifully together. The Brussel sprouts and Mashed potatoes were flavorful and done right. One of the highlights was that our shared dishes were split and served on 2 separate plates for us so we didn’t have to do anything. That was very thoughtful and accommodating. We were full and couldn’t fit dessert, but they were sweet enough to bring out a beautifully decorated s’more plate to commemorate my friend’s b’day! Would most definitely come back!

Came here for brunch and kyra was great! She had great recommendations and the drinks and food were great. Got the dynamite shrimp. Spicy but not overpowering. The tuna was amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly. Will be back for sure!

We had a great experience. The atmosphere was upscale while still feeling very comfortable, lively, relaxed, and perfect for enjoying a long meal. The food was "on point". The whole fried snapper was phenomenal; generous in size, perfectly crisp at the corners, and cooked beautifully throughout. The sides took it to another level. The Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes and corn; WoW Service made the night even better. Moni was sharp, attentive, and completely took care of us; a party of 4. She was knowledgeable, well-timed, and welcoming. She elevated the entire experience. We had a ball.....

We chose this restaurant here to celebrate the anniversary. The food, service, and atmosphere were all very much appreciated. Thanks to our server, Chelsea, and also to the restaurant manager and other staff leaders for a great environment and dining experience! The steak was tender, other food items were adequately prepared, and the drinks were really good. MAKE SURE YOU CONSIDER PUTTING THE MARTINI COCKTAIL WITH THE PEANUT BUTTER WHISKEY ON THE MENU — DON’T FORGET ABOUT ME 🤣🤣🤞🏽🤞🏽. Looking forward to returning to try this restaurant again.

This was a 10 out of 10 experience. I visited Bungalow downtown Houston with two of my girlfriends for brunch. We were visiting Houston on a girls trip visiting from Charlotte, NC and Virginia. Initially, I’d seen a lot on social media about Bungalow and wanted to try it out for myself to see what the hype was about. I can truly say that from start to finish, the entire experience was phenomenal. The food was excellent!!!! We ordered the whole fried red snapper, the seafood dip, the lobster grilled cheese, the chicken wings, and the stuffed French toast. The fried red snapper is one of the best I have ever had in my entire life. I can honestly say that every single item we tasted was spectacular. Additionally, the aesthetic and overall vibe of the restaurant was superb. It is a beautiful establishment and the service was equally impressive. The alcoholic beverages were also very good, and strong! It has been a very long time since I have gone to a restaurant that possessed all three characteristics: great aesthetic/vibe, excellent food, and excellent service. We enjoyed Bungalow so much that we planned to go back a second time before the end of our trip, but unfortunately did not have a chance to go back. I will definitely be adding Bungalow to my list of staple restaurants that I must eat whenever I am in Houston again. It was a pleasure to support this black owned business. Thank you for providing such a wonderful dining experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Everything was 5/5! From the seafood dip to the Red Snapper to the bread pudding! Our Server Monie was great! Super nice and her recommendations were on point! I will definitely come back! Ask for Monie!

Recently booked the Chefs Table for my mom’s 50th Birthday Brunch!! It was absolutely stunning! The food was absolutely amazing, especially the Seafood Dip. (If you book this space for your group, you should definitely order 2-3 for the table to try!!) Drinks were great. Shoutout to our bartender Tyson, and our server Kira! They did a phenomenal job and made our experience even better!

Came here to celebrate my 50th birthday. Had a blast with family and friends. The staff was friendly and professional. I gave four stars because we had a large party and they didn't allow us to do separate checks. Plus my daughter emailed and called to verify this information before going and no one responded, so we took our chances. Besides that, the food was good. I had hoped the Nashville hot chicken would be spicy, but I eat habanero peppers often so it just may have been too mild for me, but not the average person. I plan to be back, just not with a large party.

It was a great space to take it easy and lounge a bit. I ordered the blackened shrimp pasta and it was delicious with rich sauce. We had a large group; book club, truly enjoyed ourselves.

I’ve eaten here a few times. The Hot Nashville Chicken quesadillas are amazing! The waffles and hot chicken with the JAM and syrup was good too! The Mac n cheese was mid but I have been here numerous times! I’ll be back!

Came in for a quick drink, and they did not disappoint. The menu looked pretty good as well! The whole bar had a very cute southern vibe.

Marshneil D'Souza

Amazing food. Nachos and shrimp tacos were really good. The chicken and waffles were also really good. Our server was really not friendly and helpful at all. And in peak summer this restaurant didn't really have the air on. Drinks were good.

Stacy Brookman

Super great wings! I'm usually a dry rub fan, so hesitated when the waitress recommended these. But they blew me away. Fall off the bone tender. The breading was crispy and delicious! The sauce had a little bite to it, but not too much. A bit of Asian flavor that was perfect. It uas a very mild cream sauce that was good too. We were only there for an appetizer this time, but I look forward to having more of their food next time. Also, the prices were reasonable... Thank you for that!

The food was absolutely fantastic! I was afraid that the sauce on the chicken would be too hot, but it was just perfect. This was easily one of the best meals that I’ve had in a while. Our waiter was extremely kind, but we didn’t see him much. We always had what we needed, however, by asking the other wait staff as they passed by. It was a busy time of day, so parking was a bit of a challenge. We parked a couple of blocks away, but the weather was beautiful so we didn’t mind walking. I LOVED the food and will definitely be back!

Overall lovely experience. My boyfriend and I came to celebrate and were instantly greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne. We were consistently and carefully attended to by our server, Samyri, who also provided helpful recommendations. The R&B music really set the mood and complimented the aesthetics. At the end of the evening we were surprised with a very sweet treat. In terms of the food; loved the passion fruit mocktail! The crab dip was delicious and worth considering a second trip for. The lobster was very juicy, the Peruvian chicken was good but I wish the chicken was more flavorful in its self (the ahi sauce however, was delicious). I appreciated the crispy yet flavorful Brussels sprouts, but wish the mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese had a bit more flavor to them. Overall, the experience and food were very enjoyable. Keep in mind there’s a 20% gratuity included, overall the entire meal came to approximately $200.

We ate at Moonshiners and overall had a good experience. The brisket nachos were delicious & could be shared about 8+ people! The shrimp tacos were delicious! Nashville hot chicken sandwich was good too! The bathrooms were dirty/needed to be cleaned up. The chairs are very loud/screechy when you move them. We had great service though!

Joseph Parris

Food, service and our waitress, SPOT ON! Being bugged by homeless people coming in asking for money, well, that killed the atmosphere. I realize that management and staff are not 100% to blame for that, but there should be someone by the doors to at least sift through the patrons coming inside. The sign on the door, stopped no one. BUT other than that, food was delicious and drinks were good. So if you can weave your way through the homeless and hold your breath long enough to get there, well worth it. We were fortunate to be staying in the hotel across the street, so was not a hard walk.

Dr. Sophia Thomas (Hayia Sophia)

The food had potential, but not everything hit the mark. The burger looked great on the plate, but the bacon was disappointingly soggy, and the onions and tomatoes didn’t have that crisp, fresh bite I expected. On the bright side, the burger patty and fries were flavorful and well-seasoned, and the chicken and waffles were definitely the standout dish—crispy, sweet, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was lovely, and the drinks were solid, especially the mimosa. But the service? It started off rough. I almost walked out because of the energy. It’s hard for me to enjoy a meal when... ummmm.. To their credit, things got better toward the end, but that first impression lingered.

I have never need to a perfect place so I won’t likely ever give a 5 star overall review, but I’m going to tell you that the BlackBerry chicken and waffles is off the hook amazing!!! Happened to come here last night and it was good. Had the filet and I liked it, but the chicken and waffles is where it’s at!! Also has the chicken wing appetizer tonight and they were really good. I will definitely come back and would recommend to anyone in the area.

We went to have dinner on 11-23-25. I’m a little late posting this review, but here it is. Our waitress was very nice, attentive, and truly tried to make our dinner enjoyable. We ordered the filet mignon with creamed corn and mashed potatoes everything tasted good. They also give you a complimentary dessert if you’re celebrating a special occasion, which is a nice touch. 🙂 However, our experience was disrupted by a little fly/gnat that kept bothering us throughout the entire meal. My husband mentioned it to the waitress, but nothing was done about it, and the issue was ignored. To make things worse, I slipped and almost fell on the floor in the path back to my table after returning from the restroom because it was slippery. I’m currently in a leg brace, so this could have been a serious injury. Our waitress noticed and came to check on us afterward. Also, just be aware that you will be subject to an automatic 20% gratuity despite your experience. When you go to a nice restaurant, you expect to enjoy your meal not deal with pests flying around or worry about getting hurt. Other than that, the food was good and our waitress was attentive.

Attended with my family of four. When we walked to the door, no one really greeted us and it took about 25 minutes before someone noticed they were sitting at a table and bring us a menu. It was not really busy at all on Sunday, although the football game was on. The food made up for everything. It was amazing tasted really well. The fish was well cooked and well seasoned. The burger was really good. Bacon was on point on the burger, chicken fingers crispy and flavorful not dry.

Over priced weak cocktails. Food was mediocre but fresh and hot. Had to ask for refills of iced tea. We were brought small plates with our appetizer that had two insects on them. They were dead. Watching a homeless lady change clothes during the meal didn’t help at all. Desert was beautiful but very standard.

I ordered the catfish filet, pilaf rice and tomato soup. The catfish is totally blend. I asked waitress if it was seasoned she said yes it's in the batter but it's not. It's just batter. The texture and crunch was definitely awesome, just no taste. Rice was the same way. Tomato soup was definitely the winner here. Best tomato soup I've ever had. My waitress was very nice and friendly.

rob montroy

Fancy place but food was just ok for it being in a premier downtown destination. Black bean soup was absolutely the best thing there and the waffles were amazing as well. Other food was just ok to me. The mix drinks were very good. Lots of bums in the streets all around the parking areas though. That wasn’t pleasant at all but not the restaurants fault. Overall 6.5/10

This was my first time in Houston. This was also the first restaurant that I chose when I arrived. I was actually excited to try their old fashioned cocktail and the fried catfish, however the server recommended the brisket sandwich. We also ordered the wings for an appetizer. Honestly for me the wings were the best part. Great flavor and crispy. The brisket for me was dry and overcooked. It came with fresh cut fries that were nicely prepared and tasted great. The service was excellent and both the old fashioned and peach tea cocktails were great! I would come back again just to give another dish a try, but not for the brisket. The service saved the day for me.

My wife and I were so excited to choose this restaurant as our Valentine’s Day dinner. Unfortunately, our experience was so awful that we feel obligated to leave a review. Despite paying for the entire Valentine’s Day pre-planned package; we never received our first course (oysters), had our second course changed with a substitution and were never notified until it was served to us in a passive manner that we felt obligated to keep it. (Ran out of the packaged item) Then, when our main course was served, there was a cockroach under our plate that ran across our table. We took a picture, notified the server quietly to not cause a scene out of respect, but were very disappointed in the way it was handled. we quickly moved to desert to try and wrap up our dinner as we had lost our taste. We were unfortunately charged full price with no accommodations. We paid quietly and began walking towards the exit. The manager offered to reduce our check by $30 (our original check was $470, so this would be a 6% accommodation) however this was after we had already paid and signed our check and began to leave. The halfhearted gesture left us feeling uncomfortable and in an awkward position. We will unfortunately not be back, nor do we feel that the management team cares too much that it happened. this situation was not properly managed, and no one seemed to care much about it, other than wiping down the cockroach with a napkin and quickly moving on as if it did not happen.
