    Frutti Di Mare Blanc

    We were informed upfront that there would be a long wait for the Gulf oysters due to the 50-cent special, which was understandable since it was packed during rodeo season. While waiting, we ordered happy hour appetizers, drinks, and a few items from the main menu. The appetizers were delicious and easily the highlight of the meal, though the cocktails were just okay. The oysters arrived after about an hour, but they were gritty with noticeable sand and small shell fragments. Even during busy service, oysters should be properly cleaned -- it was disappointing to have to spit out shell with nearly every bite. I overheard the manager mention to another table that the owner was helping shuck, which shows effort, but quality control seemed to suffer. The manager checked on nearly every table around us (including those seated after us) but never stopped by ours. Since we weren't checked on again until the oysters arrived, there wasn't an opportunity to adjust the timing of our entrées. They came out shortly after and were unfortunately mediocre; we only had a few bites before boxing them up. Overall, I'd return for happy hour and à la carte appetizers, but the full dinner experience fell short this time.

    I enjoyed coming here to have a quick brunch with friends. The food was tasty, would definitely like to try more of their menu! The ambience was nice while offering great natural lighting. Staff were fantastic and super friendly.

    French restaurants aren't hard to come by in Houston but GOOD FRENCH restaurants are another story! A'Bouzy was just that, divine in atmosphere, tasty in all aspects! We had the caviar potato bites to begin with and my main course was the escargot (best I've had in Houston)! We celebrated a fellow friend's bday; although it was late, we were given exceptional service.

    Seafood Pot Pie...this wasn't giving!

    Came here for brunch a couple of times and we had reservations, which I'd definitely recommend. Parking is basically nonexistent. There's valet, but if you're thinking you're going to casually find a spot, think again. We ordered a good spread: crab fingers, baked oysters, wine, plenty of drinks, and the seafood pot pie. Food has been solid across the board. Nothing disappointed, and everything tasted well-executed. My main issue is the space. The restaurant is small af and the tables are extremely close together. It creates a level of intimacy with neighboring tables that I personally could do without. If you value a little breathing room while you eat and talk, that's something to keep in mind. Overall, the food and drinks were good and it's a nice spot for brunch, but the tight seating and parking situation take away from the experience a bit. I'd still go back, just with the right expectations.

    Seafood Pot Pie

    I had a great experience at A'Bouzy this weekend. The restaurant was having its periodic special of dozen gulf oysters for $3. The kitchen was backed up and we were told - so we ordered two dozen at the onset of brunch. There is a limit of one dozen per person for the special - after which the oysters are full price. On the website, escargot was listed on the menu, however, it was not listed on the brunch menu. We asked our waiter, Isidro, and he checked with the chef - and they were able to prepare the item which we enjoyed. We also had the French onion soup - it was very flavorful. I felt like the portion was small, however, personally, for soup, this is actually my preferance, as I find that French onion soup can be quite filling when I want other things. It came with a small salad. To end the meal, we had the seafood pot pie, another recommendation from Isidro. What a treat! Additionally we had two bottles of very reasonably priced champagne. We came in for the oyster special and stayed for the great brunch. Note: There is no bread service - but a popcorn starter which I find fun and a bit different. It was a lively scene. Lots of small groups that appeared to be celebrating something. Really a fun/casual vibe. I really appreciated the attentiveness of our waiter.

    I'm not from Texas but the shrimp and grits are enough to make me wanna go back on a monthly basis. They are absolutely a must try! They were packed and I see why, but they actually get you in super fast. They have really good mimosas as well

    I visited A'Bouzy with a group of eight ladies, and we decided to try their champagne and caviar pairing; it did not disappoint. Everything was already set up when we arrived, which made the whole experience flow smoothly. This was my first-time trying caviar, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but they paired it so well. It came with mini pancakes, cream cheese, red onions, chopped eggs, and capers, and each caviar was matched perfectly with a different champagne. Our server was wonderful and attentive. We also ordered the large charcuterie board, and it was amazing. The cocktails and wines were really good too. They offer valet parking for just $6, which was convenient. It was a very classy and elegant experience in which I thoroughly enjoyed.

    I visited A'Bouzy for the first time and had such a great experience. It was a busy night and the bar was packed, so our table wasn't ready when we arrived. We waited at the bar and grabbed drinks, which made the wait easier. Once we sat down, the night really picked up. I ordered the deviled eggs, the marinated 5 spice shrimp pasta, the diver scallops with risotto, and the donuts. Every dish was delicious and full of flavor. The scallops and risotto were the standout for me. The service was amazing. The food was amazing. The drinks were amazing. The whole place had really good vibes even with how busy it was. There is valet and there is also street parking around the back. I would definitely come back again!

    Wow am I late to the party but I finally visited Abouzy! This is a sibling restaurant to succulent. It features a beautiful interior with a outdoor option for seating. I was raining on the day I went so indoor seating for me! This was my friend and my first time here and it just so happened that the oysters were on happy hour! I ordered some despite not liking raw oysters because they were 50 cents! And ya know what, I liked it! Our waiter was very helpful in helping us navigate the menu. I ordered off the restaurants weeks menu and my friend ordered off the standard menu. Now my dish, that I ordered I did not love. But my friends dish the seafood pot pie was fire! Wow I should have ordered that instead if was really good. We also ordered drinks and they were reasonably priced and perfectly prepared. Now although I did not love my dish I would definitely come back due to the good service!

    Blue Crab Fingers
    Judy C.

    Amazing Seafood! Made reservations ahead of time on open table and was able to get seated right away. They serve a bag of complimentary popcorn as well. For drinks, I got the non-alcoholic prickly pear with tajin on the rim. It was actually really refreshing and fruity. I can see it being paired well with tequila as well. Starters, we got a dozen of the east coast raw oysters. They were quite fresh and came with all the fixings like cocktail sauce, vinegar and etc. Also got the blue crab fingers, which was deliciously drenched in some garlic butter. Good amount too, maybe 20 of them + side of french bread. And ordered the moules & frites aka mussels. The white wine butter sauce was light and had nice flavors as well. For my entree, i'm glad i got the seafood pot pie. Crust was nice and airy and inside was filled with so much flavors. Heavily seasoned and came with shrimp, crawfish and redfish! All cooked very well. I like the accompany of the side of salad and bread as well. Used that bread to dip in the blue crab butter sauce! Waiter was friendly and checked up on us a good amount of times. Plenty of seating indoors and i believe outdoors as well. Restrooms - clean Parking - Valet $6, they accept Credit Card as well Overall a nice seafood brunch spot!

    Great spot for a patio brunch. Can't beat bubbles and delicious food. Definitely feels like a celebratory spot, especially when they pop your champ bottle and yell "A'Bouzy!". Lots of fun. Helpful and friendly staff that is open to gibing their recommendations. We started with some spritzes and their breakfast breads board, then moved on to the mimosa service and some eggs/protein. All in all, will certainly be back to enjoy the expansive patio on one of the rare Houston nice weather days. Parking - valet or street.

    I enjoyed a lovely brunch at A'Bouzy this past Sunday. We surprisingly were able to walk in on Easter Sunday and snag a covered table on the patio with no reservation. Our waiter was very prompt once we were seated and attentive throughout brunch. A'Bouzy has a bag of popcorn on the table to snack on while enjoying the view and waiting for the meal to arrive. Which is a nice touch. For drinks we ordered and an aperol spritz and Irish coffee. Both drinks were made perfectly! For food we enjoyed deviled eggs, the baked oysters, crab cake and French toast. Our food came out fairly quick which we were very happy about my favorite item was probably the crab cake as it has so much flavor and the hollandaise paired very nicely with it.

    I'm at A'Bouzy A LOT. Every first Monday they have a dozen oysters for $.50 each (you can only get a dozen per person) and while gulf oysters aren't my preference ever anywhere, at A'Bouzy they're cleaned perfectly and they're a proper size. Those big boogery filthy gulf oysters are NOT what's on special here! Champagne is a must. Duh. The charcuterie....ima go crazy with it every time and finish wishing I had more. I also order the daily special (2 adult size entrees that change daily, and a bottle of wine from $39-$69 depending on the daily special) very often. I've had brunch, dinner, and happy hour (only available on Thursday's with a different menu of offerings every week) at A'Bouzy and I have NEVER left unsatisfied.

    Can I bring a one year old to brunch? I've been before, but only in the evening and I wouldn't bring him then. But what about 11am?

    Yes people had children but not sure if I saw a 1 yr old

    Are there mimosas for brunch?

    Yes. I believe you can get them by glass or bottle.

    How can we book a reservation when the phone lines remain busy during lunch time? I've tried OpenTable but the time of interest wasn't available. Any help is greatly appreciated

    Book more in advanced of the date and time that you want, or call when it's not their busy meal hours (10a-11a, 2p-5p). If it's not avail on opentable, it's not likely to be available there since they have the same information you do.

    Any bottomless mimosas?

    Nope.

    Is the outdoor dining space covered with fans?

    Yes

    Are there any vegan options for brunch?

    How would you describe the dress code?

    The interior makes you feel like you need to be dress nicely, but I don't believe there is an official dress code. Our party was dressed very casual when we visited and had no issues!

    Hi, I check the menu 2 weeks ago, Dom Perignon a bottle (regular not the limited edition) on the website and today I check is not there, why?

    When You checked we may have been out. We now have it back in stock. Our menus are interactive with inventory.

    What time does brunch end?

    Do they have Happy hour or any specials?

    Our wines are at or below retail every day. We do .50cent Gulf Oysters every Monday from 11am -3pm and a Happy hour every Thursday from 3-6:30pm and Caviar at cost every Friday from 11am-6pm. Ie...a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow label is only $49… Read more

    What is a good time to go when it's not so busy? Are reservations suggested?

    I went on Thursday, 6:30. I did have reservations, but there were plenty of tables available. If you really want outdoor seating during these nice nights, I would make a reservation just to be sure.

    Is the brunch atmosphere boozy, or is it too classy for that?

    It is an upscale place. That being said, what they are known for is their rock bottom wine prices and the consumption that encourages. Nobody is dancing on tables, or stammering around in an inebriated state, but the staff does celebrate the… Read more

Also, the bartender wouldn't give me and my friend the time of day. I was really excited to see how this place made drinks and they wouldn't even service me and my friend...she just was checking her social media.

When we walked in, a couple of really nice girls greeted us and walked us to our table. We were seated all the way in the back in a pretty dark corner. At first I thought it might be a little too dark, but once we sat for a minute it actually felt kind of cozy and worked for the vibe. They had a Valentine's Day special menu, but we decided to order off the regular menu instead. My husband ordered the lamb chops and I got a steak. Both were good... but not good good, if you know what I mean. For the price, we were expecting to be a little more impressed. The service was also pretty slow.
