    Steak sa

    Came here for lunch after the rodeo and sadly I wasn't impressed at all. The ambiance/aesthetic is nice and the service was great however the food fell short in my opinion. I'm not sure if I would return.

    Seafood Pot Pie

    I love the idea of the place and the atmosphere, but the music was sleepy, the air conditioner was drippy (on me and my food) and my food was heavy. It was a large portion size and the servers were nice.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 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!

    Alexis H.

    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

    This place NEVER disappoints! The food is outstanding, service is always pleasant, and the ambiance is just right. We like to go for caviar on 1st Fridays, but I have also been to celebrate birthdays and just because it was a Wednesday. They have a nice wine list and an array of items on the menu, you're sure to find somwthing you like or may want to order and share. On my most recent visit I found out they have wine/ spirit dinners also and I look forward to attending at some point. S/O to this special little gem nestled just off Westheimer... Until next time!

    Our party of 4 arrived at a'Bouzy for a Houston Restaurant Weeks lunch on a Saturday at 11:30am and found a'Bouzy to be dreadfully HOT indoors. They sat us at a table between two large floor fans ... the fans were so strong a menu blew off our table. We asked to be reseated, which they did, next to a birthday party table, and the back of one of the guest chairs at the table was literally touching our table. Our table was also immediately next to the door leading to the patio, so every time the door opened we were greeted with a blast of HOT Houston wind. Our waiter was amazing, and very helpful with our 2 friends who have never been to a'Bouzy. The food, albeit not the menu we wanted, was excellent - the shrimp and grits dish was exceptional. We live only 2 blocks behind a'Bouzy so we usually just walk over, but since it was a very hot day and we had 2 friends in "dressy" apparel, we drove ... AMPLE parking in the very large lot, but the restaurant REQUIRES you to use their valet parking in their lot (but they neither have signage, nor tell you that it is a $6 charge to valet). Upon leaving, we waited for the valet driver to back my car from its space and the attendant then informed me of the $6 charge. I handed him a $20 bill ... no change, so I went inside for change. Clearly it was a great imposition to the hostess (who was simply standing there with no guests other than me near her). 3 minutes later, she grumpily handed my my change and I paid the $6 fee for the forced valet. I will say that the evening staff is more friendly and accommodating. The ONLY pleasant person we encountered on this visit was our waiter (Matthew). Not sure if we'll be back anytime soon, even though it is quite literally 3 streets behind us. Our friends loved the food, hated the staff, and were frustrated with the mandated valet parking. Tough for me to recommend this place right now ... many many other worthwhile places to visit. Try HARDER a'Bouzy!

    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… 

    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…

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.

Our server didn't seem to have a lot of tables, but it still took quite a while for them to come back around each time. We ended up only having one drink each mainly because it took so long that ordering another one didn't really feel worth it. Overall it wasn't a bad experience, but for the price and the location we were expecting a little more. The atmosphere is nice, but the food and service just didn't quite live up to it.
