Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Galleria / Uptown

Musaafer is a unique experience...exquisite food; beautiful furnishings; attentive service. sections of the restaurant convey an old-school men's club vibe. other sections offer dining within curtained privacy. one doesn't dine at Musaafer if cost is a consideration. this restaurant is a cut way above any Indian food venue in Houston and is well worth the price. I appreciated being told that an automatic 20% gratuity is added to every bill. Staff is quite pleased with the newly awarded Michelin Star. well deserved!

Nobu delivers an exceptional dining experience where world-class cuisine meets impeccable service. The Wagyu steak was a standout—perfectly seared, tender, and bursting with rich, buttery flavor. For dessert, the chocolate lava cake was pure indulgence, with a molten center that paired beautifully with creamy ice cream. The mocktails were equally impressive, offering vibrant, creative flavors that were as sophisticated as any cocktail. With its elegant ambiance and attention to detail, Nobu is the perfect destination for a memorable dinner.

Love this place everytime! Amazing service and food. One of the best sushi spots in town.

Experiencing the 12-course meal at MAD was extraordinary. From the moment we were seated, the service was impeccable, with each course presented cleanly and described with expertise and passion. The staff was attentive, anticipating every need while allowing us to fully savor each dish. Each course offered a balance of flavors, crafted with precision, and presented as true culinary art. The progression from one dish to the next felt seamless, each course adding depth to the overall experience. The pacing was impeccable, giving us ample time to appreciate each creation without feeling rushed and enjoy conversation. MAD delivered a dining experience that was not only a feast for the senses but also a showcase of exceptional service. While we were unable to get a reservation at BCN taste tonight (because they were closed celebrating their Michelin star). MAD was more like an upstart younger sibling rivaling to overtake the former rather than a second choice. MAD provided a meal that left a lasting impression—an elegant, immersive journey that defines fine dining at its best.

We have been a few times to Auden and have loved it every time. The service is warm and attentive, the food is consistently delicious and the ambiance is classy and cozy. I also love that the chef changes up the menu with the seasons (while keeping the fan favorites on) and the way he is able to meld tastes and flavors together is perfection. The dessert menu is always on point and their wine selection is quite expansive. This truly is a great place for either a casual get together or an intimate evening. It is no wonder this place is rated as one of the top restaurants to visit in Houston.
