Best Restaurants for Foodies in Central Southwest

Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

Everything was good as usual, highly recommend the dive sole fish #amazing! The sea bass was delicious too with 3 huge ricotta ravioli.. burgers was first time and so good as well! Our water was so nice and polite he went through all menu for us! Thanks everything was perfect as usual.. oh but the lobster bisque wasn’t my favorite :)

The roasted beet salad was exquisite, light and yummy. Pork chop was lean and delicious with a great Asian/Creole inspired sauce. Flounder was flaky and delicious. The cornbread had a delicious sweetness and it was a bit crunchy. The Louisiana crawfish etoufee was a true disappointment as it had battered shrimp and little crawfish all in a noodle sauce instead of rice! This is why the 4 stars. The bread pudding did not disappoint. The prices are higher than some of the competition. My husband (etoufee) will not return! I will give it another try for lunch because my dish was superb as was my son’s flounder.

This was the perfect Valentine's dining experience. I'm so glad I booked it weeks in advance. As usual, the food was amazing, and the owner visited all the tables to ensure guests enjoyed their experience. This favorite place to dine in Houston since they have lots of gluten-free and Paleo options.

Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!
