Best American Restaurants in Far Westheimer

Do not valet here. Nothing against the restaurant at all because the overall experience was phenomenal. The valet service offered outside however, left a lot to be desired. We waited over 20 minutes for the car because they “lost” it. Will definitely be coming to eat again though!

This is a high quality place for adults serious about their dining and entertainment experience. The food, service, and atmosphere is top shelf.

It was my first visit with a friend today at lunch. First, kudos to the owners for the restaurant design!! Loads of beautiful walnut and leather, sophisticated lighting and special features including a skylight which graze-lights the fluted walnut walls!! Service was attentive and helpful. Water glasses were always full. The menu perfectly encompasses a broad range of seafood prepared from raw to fried - even a few beef items to round out the choices. I had the Sushi-Salad - perfect portions, nicely plated and tasty!!! My friend had the Niçoise salad which also got high praise. Balboa is on my “regular” list from now on - I am a fan!!

Sandi was a wonderful server; she was very good, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic; she made good recommendations, even accommodated allergies; the place is a tad expensive but the food is very fresh, very tasty, and plentiful; the entrees are good size we didn’t get appetizers but opted for desserts, which were incredible

I enjoyed lunch with my wife and her sister. The focaccia with ricotta is delicious. My sister in law had the burrata salad which I had had before and recommended to her. It is a very nice serving. Just right, not very large. My wife had the kale and chicken salad which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had The Plaza salad. It had a generous serving of very fresh feta cheese. Chloe took fabulous care of us making sure our water glasses were always full and paid close attention to many little details. The only thing I wish is for the music volume to be a little bit lower. I look forward to going back.
