Attended the Fam Jam block party and the vibes were immaculate! The venue is spacious, with multiple bars and a mini food truck park. Both Around the Corner and its neighbor building- Leeland House were utilized for its space and were great spaces to grab a break from the Texas heat. I was unfamiliar with this area prior to this weekend and would check them out during a regular business day. My only point doc was the drink pricing at Around The Corner. Not sure if it was due to the nature of the event, but adding gratuity on to single bar tabs is ridiculous. My boyfriend paid almost $40 for two shots, myself paying $52 for two drinks. I get wanting to make money but it's not a good way to retain customers. I'll opt for drinking elsewhere.

I didn't get to eat food but I heard they have an amazing brunch, great steak night, and delicious wings. The service was great. The bartender he was very kind and personable. The ambiance was nice as the xl patio is an option or inside depending on your preference. While visiting Houston I went twice during my time simply because the music was a great vibe and the service was consistent. Parking in front of the venue.

This place is massive. Two buildings, two patios and a huge outdoor space in the middle of it all. The set up and decor is fun and inviting. Also surprisingly for how busy it was the service was very quick. And most importantly the food was delicious! Would love to come back and try more of the menu too bad i only got to try the shrimp and grits and the honey chicken biscuit.

Yummy food and good service at the bar! Fun place Gage is a fabulous bartender and server! Food is fantastic and service is great!

I came here with a few friends on Saturday brunch. There was a DJ on the patio and the outside area has shades and fans. The food I ordered was Shrimp and Grits. It was good, however, I feel it needed some more spicy/salty flavor to balance out the sweet sauce. The brisket hash was delicious and a good size for one person. I did notice some grease from the fried potatoes in there. The mimosas were worth the price for $15 a carafe. They came out with the mimosa as soon as we ordered. Overall, I would come back here again, and probably try the different brunch menu options. I also did see online their menu is different for dinner.

My wife and I came for the first time and we really like the vibe. Gage the bartender did a GREAT job! I highly recommend this spot.

This was my first stop back home right off of the plane! My date and I both had the shrimp and grits. He had a side of chicken sausage that was decent. The lightly scrambled eggs were so good (idk it's the simple things about life). Finally the shrimp and grits were perfect. The grits were smooth, the cheese added even more richness but it wasn't overpowering. It looks as good as it tastes! I had a Perrier to drink to break down the cheese for my begrudged cheese lovers but it wasn't harsh on our stomachs at all. The ladies that worked inside were very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. There was a pretty good crowd in there nevertheless our service was fast. It gives sweet, quaint and country.

Vibe- Literally the same chill vibe with great music as Leeland House that is literally right next door and I found out they're owned by the same person so go figure! There's plenty of seating options outside and inside. You find your seat and then order at the bar. Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- I got a beach please cocktail to drink and a chicken sandwich without the chicken and extra onions to make it vegetarian; they were both good. Parking- There's parking right in front of the building and if you get there right when they open you'll probably get one, but if not there's street parking.

Great Thursday Night spot!!!!! Decided to stop by around 5pm for the Thursday steak night. It is definitely a cute spot with a mature crowd and a good date night spot. This bar is located in the East Downtown area. It's an inside and outside bar with a great vibe. The crowd was mixed and the music was good variety. I tried the steak and it was good but the potatoes were not fully cooked. I took a bite and the potatoe was hard. I ordered a lavender lemonade which was strong and a Lemon Drop. That grilled pineapple is a must ordered. Very decorative for the holiday season. The service was great. The bartenders were attentive and made sure I kept drinking. The parking is in a neighborhood so it's limited so get there early. Give this spot a try.

Went here on a Monday for steak night. The vibes were easy going and casual. Seems like a nice place to chill after a long day of work. The special was a steak - ribeye or filet with two side, we got one of each. As well as a bottle of red wine - since it was on the specials as well. The steak was actually really good and I was pleasantly surprised. I will circle back around again if I am ever in the area to try the other stuff on the menu.

The food was so so good !!! I ordered the honey chicken biscuit, and it was so yummy. However, there were several other options that really appealed! Coffee is self serve, and you go up to the bar to order. The vibe is cool, it's set in an old house and there's a nice little patio, too. Music was a little loud once the DJ at Leeland House started. Staff was sweet and food came out really fast! Dogs are definitely allowed (always a plus) and there is parking on the street or paid in the lot.

Cinful cocktail $2 off cocktails on Wednesdays

Stopped by with my friend for dinner before the Lizzo concert. The service was great. There was a new guy there that was super sweet and got our order just right. Not too busy on a Wed evening but a great vibe. $2 off cocktails and I believe the sharables are also 1/2 off. I forget when HH starts but it ends at 8 or 10. Tasty crispy cauliflower. So happy my friend shared with me. Bbq Bacon Burger was cooked perfectly, bacon was crispy and they put the bbq sauce on the side as I asked. Also made my fries truffle per my request and they were delicious . Nice and crispy shoestring fries and garlicky with delicious chunks of Parmesan. The Cinful cocktail was very good. Tasted a little carbonated which I liked. The flavor combo of the concoction was a great mix. My friend loved her Down South. Said it tingled the sides of her mouth but in a good way. (Hahaha, do you see what I inadvertently just did there? ;) ) The timing of the food and drinks coming out from the point we ordered was reasonably quick which was appreciated since we had a concert to get to. Ive had brunch at Leeland House and just had a work event at The Grove last week. Both were quality experiences so I knew Around the Corner wouldn't let me down. Order at the bar. My friend and I could not figure out how to order from the QR codes on the table although that is what we were advised. The QR codes only show you the menu and don't have an ordering option.

Brunch Sunday was amazing they have mimosa special drink specials, and brunch menu is really good mostly breakfast selection. They also have music playing in the background inside outside patio seating. There is some cover on the outside. Plenty of space for big group.

I came here on Saturday for brunch and the best part was there is no wait! I don't see a big parking lot but there's plenty of empty lot that you can park. The bar is super cute and chic! One of the best part is the worker! They are so chilled, fun and friendly! Texans pizza (4/5) French toast (3/5) - too doughy Shepherd breakfast (3/5) Latte (3/5) Overall, the food is alright but the atmosphere definitely makes up for it!

The food is AYYYYY-mazing!!! I find Houston service something to be acquired when it comes to the way you order at counters at a lot of places instead of the servers coming to your table to take your order. But it's not a terrible thing. Just something to get used to being from Jersey. The music, the people and servers, the atmosphere read more

I came here on a Thursday and was both surprised and thrilled to learn that it was steak night! For $17, you get a decent sized steak, scalloped potatoes, and a salad. First of all, those scalloped potatoes gave me life..... I'm supposed to be cutting down my carbs and here I am stuffing my face with pataters. One of the waiters took our tables' salt and pepper without even considering that we needed those items, so I was a bit confused by their choice to do that. However, I was able to get them to replace both items with just a simple request. Based off of some reviews here, I decided to try their popcorn, and it definitely did not disappoint. I enjoyed a few handfuls while there and took the remainder home with me. Drinks were a bit pricey and it was a bit loud, but otherwise, it's a cool lil spot close to the job to escape to. read more

We were looking for brunch and we decided to try this place. Inside has only a few tables but there is a lot of outside dining. It was very busy and very loud from both people and the music. The mimosas were good and the food was tasty. We enjoyed it but it was hard to talk and catch up with our friends. read more

This is a super cute place for brunch and to hangout. It's nice and intimate and the outdoor patio is very nice. I ordered the avocado toast with my eggs scrambled and it did not disappoint! Definitely in my top 3 for avocado toast in Houston. My friend ordered the chicken biscuit and said it was amazing as well. The mimosas are $4/$5. The staff is very nice and super helpful if you are a first timer. I can't wait to come back! I wish I would've taken photos but we were so hungry and couldn't wait! read more

Steak night can draw me into most bars, but add some patio lights and i'm sold! This cute bar had been bookmarked forever and last night when deciding where to meet up for dinner, ATC came to mind since it was a Thursday. This little Eado bar was hoppin for a weeknight. We sat on the back patio but there's plenty of sitting room inside if that's your thing, as well as the front patio too. The crowd was mixed and I enjoyed that. Dog friendly! $17 will get you a hefty chunk of beef, a nice mixed salad, & some scalloped potatoes. We ordered some spinach artichoke dip to share as well and that was delicious. Beer selection isn't huge but definitely good enough. They have a nice range of wines and cocktails. (PS. Wine night on Tuesdays means $20 bottles with complimentary light bites) The music was a smidge too loud, though. We couldn't really have any conversation... and on top of that the playlist was odd in itself... I mean, they played the "chicken dance" song for example. read more

What a cute little bar! I also like that in addition to drinks, they also have food and bar bites. They seem to have a pretty good selection of liquors and beers, but I really didn't get a sense of their wine selection. Additionally, they also have a great cocktail menu! My favorite part of the bar, however, is the patio. It's large, partially covered, and has large fans! It was surprisingly nice on a July evening in Houston. And, if you're a local, you know it's terribly difficult to spend time outside in July! I hope to return! read more

This is one of my favorite bars. There's plenty of parking in front or along side. Upon entering there's plenty of seating along the bar and also tables along the right side. There's always great music playing and also a digital jukebox that allows you to hear your favorite song. There are flatbread pizzas and bites if you find yourself hungry. And the view from the backyard is phenomenal. Dont hesitate to make a stop here on your next night out. read more

I enjoyed relaxing outside on the patio with my lemon drops . The bar tenders are friendly and inviting , drinks were pretty good , I had a burger which was decent ( menu is pretty much elevated bar food ) . My only complaint were the flies ... I know I know it's outside ... but if outside seating for guest is available fly traps or similar should be placed around the patio . They will swarm your food. read more

3 stars because, they seem to be always out of the cocktails and snacks i want that are on the menu. And I wanted to throw a birthday party here for a friend because, this first time I came to Around the Corner was for a going away party, and I could NEVER get anyone on the phone or respond to a DM on Instagram. I never tried going to physically speak to anyone but, I guess that would've been the only option. Otherwise, a very chill bar. I love the outside view of downtown and being in east downtown, there's always a huge mural to take picture in front of. Thursday night steak nights are really delicious! read more

They're back! Friday evening was a joy to get back with friends on the shared patio. You can order drinks from the outdoor patio or inside bar. Just know your table number in case you order food which comes from The Leeland House next door. That's the shared patio part. Mosquitos can be an issue in any part of Houston, but bring insect repellent in case they're out. read more

Delightful atmosphere. Counter service only so be sure to look at the number in the table you select to ensure your food is delivered correctly. Nice staff. Tucked away in EaDo. Limited parking so get there during off-hours if you want a spot to park. Bar food and daily drink specials. Pulled port street tacos were as was the queso and chips.

The cutest place to have brunch with the austin rainey street feel. The brunch menu is a limited small menu, however for such a small menu you can't go wrong with what ever item you choose. Each food item is delicious! If you have a friend that can never decide on what to eat then the limited menu might just be for them. Must have : blood orange mimosa!! Best blood orange mimosas i have tasted in houston. Go ahead and just treat yourself to a full carafe.....just do it!! One sunday i came and a DJ was playing some amazing 90's music.......haven't seen him since. We get a limited amount time of amazing weather to enjoy patio life.....when the breeze comes in sit your booty in the patio and gaze at downtown houston and some awesome grafiti art. read more

Okay so I'm giving 5 stars because the steak night is best in town in my opinion. I'm picky as hell and they never disappoint. Consistency is key! Now the $20 bottle of wine on Tuesday night and the added complimentary snack plate really won my heart. You guys are the best and I love the coziness of the place. The jukebox selection is fire! Anita Baker came on last night and I was like okay it's time for a review. I'd market for you guys seriously. So this is an update to my previous review. You guys should really do something to help the hellacious mosquito problem at your establishment. I celebrated my birthday for steak night in September and we couldn't sit outside because they were so bad! I know you offer repellent but that's not enough. You need citronella candles or something! It's insane! Then you prop the door open so the mosquitoes can invade the inside! My friends and I were ate up. read more

What a cute lil cocktail spot in EaDo. The decor looks like something plucked straight out of a chic, youthful spread of Southern Living. That's a compliment - because I really dig the atmosphere (and the mag). On a Saturday night, it wasn't too busy - considering it's rodeo season and, well, the oil industry isn't doing too well so not many places are that full these days. Still, the two bartenders were swamped and it took a good while to get served. My Moscow mule wasn't anything amazing, but I'll certainly return to check out some other items that struck my interest. There is a front porch-style patio, bar and indoor seating - and DON'T miss out on the back patio. It's like you're at your friend's bungalow house in The Heights ... only with a view of Downtown. I heart Houston. read more

It is quite obvious that this place was once a house, at least that is what the structure tells me.... and I'm here for every bit of it. Staff was friendly and there are plenty of regulars in the place. Didnt get anything to eat, but heard they have brunch.

Wow what an amazing patio for this awesome weather we've been having the last few days!! We came here after a Friday night workout and had a huge group outside on the back patio - they have a front one and inside seating as well! You order at the bar and they give you a number and bring you your orders! We got the Margherita flat bread and the spinach artichoke dip - the flatbreads were good and decently sized! The Margherita has pesto in it as well and was delicious! I didn't care too much for the artichoke dip, didn't think it had much flavor and the portion was tiny compared to the queso. Staff was friendly and the drinks were good - I had the frozen ruby red Bellini and it was yum! The truffle popcorn smelled delicious so I will definitely have to be back!! read more

I was in search for a place that had steak night, so i can across this restaurant. Came here on a Thursday night (steak night) with my brother and our 2 dogs. The parking situation was kinda weird, I had to park in a muddy spot across from the restaurant. I liked that this place was dog friendly! The patio is spacious in the back, and the view was amazing at night. We ordered white queso, it was alright, not too bad, but nothing to hype about. The steak was great and the price was reasonable, we had to order at the window, and they will bring out your food. Of course, we shared the steak with our dogs! :) read more

As others have mentioned, what a hidden gem. Great outdoor patio and tasty food. We came for brunch, which I believe just recently started? I liked the portions of the meal, but might be a little skimpy for someone who likes to eat more. Food is a-okay (3/5) My favorite was the French toast (4/5). It's basically a bread pudding with bacon on top. Sweet and rich, I really enjoyed the pieces that had bacon drippings on it. They have really delicious bread too. It's fluffy and dense and toasted. Tastes better than it looks. Hash: really generous portion of meat. It was probably 50:50 meat to hash. Interesting twist with cauliflower in the mix. BrieLT: soft scrambled eggs blended well with the Brie. Would not recommend the orange juice. Tasted funny and is probably just for mimosas. read more

Love this place. Their cocktails are delicious, the food is good and they have good seating options for all kinds of weather. The service has always been good for me here and I just love the laid-back ambiance. I usually stick to beer and wine, but the cocktails here are tasty and hard to resist. It's the perfect place to catch up with a friend you haven't seen in a while or bring a large group of friends to celebrate something. There are some other bars that are comparable in Midtown (Main St area) and the Heights, but they're always packed, it's hard to find a seat, and you have to wait a while for a drink. ATC is just as good and although it's not dead, you won't have all that competition for space. read more

I LOVE Around the Corner. It's the perfect mix of clientele, food, and drinks, ALWAYS. Its not super crowded, but its not sparse in people. There is both indoor and outdoor seating with a juke box that can be controlled by your phone for true versatility. I come here for girls night out, friends gathering, and study time cuz they also have an espresso machine! read more

We wanted to go some spots in east down town Houston so we found this place. It's next to district 7 grill and it look look like a house outside. The patio looks grata except it might be toooo hot to sit outside. The inside was nice as well. I ordered a cocktail and pretzel from the menu. The drink was pretty good. The pretzel was hot and yum. I would like to come back here during the cooler days to sit the the patio. read more

This has to be one of my newest fav brunch places! Its away from the rest of the hustle and bustle of downtown, but the house is quaint and super cute. You order at the bar and it's full self service. A decent amount of seating both inside and out - but it fills up quick on the weekends! The menu isn't quite as large as some other bruncheries but every item looks good. I had the crab quiche which was an item of the day. Highly recommend! Perfect texture. Even the salad that came with was great. My friend got the French toast and it was amazing. Not as sweet as I've had which is a good thing! Also had a carafe of mimosa - which was pretty strong may I add. I will be back for the rest of the menu! read more

Listen, Linda, listen... I'm digging Around the Corner so much that I wish it was around the corner or across the street from my house! Seriously, the only missing ingredient in this recipe is you, or me (mainly me-lol). This place is everything!! There is so much to say about Around the Corner. To begin, I love the versatility of this establishment. You can get your java fix in the morning and your night cap in the evening. With the looks of a converted house, there is a front porch/patio with several seating options and a back patio with great city views. The inside is aesthetically pleasing and offers this laid-back, chill vibe with great tunes at the perfect volume - no need to yell to talk to any of your companions. It's dimly lit, but not drastically dim to feel the need to come "boo'd up". Girls Night, Guys Night, or pet night can all be done here. Yes, bring your four-legged friends if you wish. There is also a section with tables if you prefer to be more intimate, which makes Around the Corner a great place for dates as well. Trust me when I say there is a setting for everyone. The highlight of ATC is the steak night on Thursday. They have one of the best steak nights in Houston, easily. Along with the $17 steak plate, they also have $20 bottles of wine on Thursdays as well. Can't beat that! I'm definitely in love with this hidden gem! read more

First time here, five of us were at a U of H event and found this very close place to eat on yelp, just 1.8 miles away. What a wonderful surprise. Our group had burgers and shoestring fries, chicken Caesar salad, rustic flatbread and street tacos. Service was spot on, and super friendly. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable for a group or for singles or couples. The food was expertly prepared with fresh and high quality ingredients. Shout out to the chefs. They obviously are experienced. And they're open late which was perfect. If you're looking for a great place with excellent food and reasonably priced close to campus, try Around the Corner. read more

CASE Chocolates

Soft life, sweet treats, and a little mystery is exactly how a girls' night should feel. The…read moreultimate girls night out in Houston is a Case Chocolates. Every Wednesday, they host a midweek indulgence for the ladies: complimentary champagne, signature chocolate, and curated sounds inside this one-of-a-kind chocolate speakeasy. Come for the immersive chocolate experience. Stay for the seductive, late-night vibes. If you're in Houston and looking for a cute girls night out, unique date night, or a speakeasy experience, add this to your bucket list immediately. It's intimate, indulgent, and just different enough to make your night feel special. Now there are levels to this elevated experience. Here's the simplest breakdown according to their mixologist Tim: 1. Opening Hour: 2 infused chocolates, 1 chocolate medallion, a mixed drink, and a welcome spritz 2. Guided Tasting: 3 courses of drinks and chocolates 3. The Journey: 5 courses of drinks, chocolates, and other bites. Come hungry! You're encouraged to book a reservation through their website. But since we went on Wednesday for the ladies night, we were able to just go right in. I'm doing chemo so I can't drink or have the alcohol infused chocolate but I still had a great time. Sober folks can also enjoy this place. I got a cherry mocktail and it was the best mocktail I ever drank. They had two chocolate bon bons that weren't infused with alcohol and then all of the flat medallions are also not infused. They were sweet enough to send me home with some alcohol infused chocolates to have once I finish my chemo. We got there around 7 and didn't leave until the place was closing down. The DJ was amazing and she made the atmosphere feel more like a Saturday night.

To start, when you arrive, you will ring the doorbell for them to come let you in, which I guess…read moreconsidering the space makes sense. The store front is very tiny, it could fit maybe 6 people fairly comfortably. They do have a speak easy space for their tastings, which is an interesting concept, which I'll touch on later. Effectively, they have different unique shapes of chocolate that are liquid filled with alcoholic and non-alcoholic liqueurs. Think licor 43, gin, bourbon, whiskey, tequila, etc. The chocolates themselves are good, there wasn't any that I disliked and I'd say the carajillo was one of my favorites. All that said, I think this can be hit or miss with some folks. I like them, whereas I can see how it has a bit of a flash in the pan type taste. It hits fast and then, that's it.Personally, I can get past that probably and could easily eat 10 in rapid fashion. Where this place loses my attention and where I struggle is the pricing. Value is always subjective and I'm sure some will find these to be well worth their price. For reference, I think it's 4 for $22, 8 for $34, when I recently visited. I just didn't find them to be worth that pricing model, particularly when there are other brands that you can get at a lower price and similar fillings. At the end of the day, I think this is worth it for an experience or date, particularly if you're going to go in for the tasting. Think, wine and cheese, in this case, cocktails and chocolates. It's $65 a person for the experience. Overall, I'm glad to see a boutique shop like this that's locally owned by a young, ambitious entrepreneur. My two cents, price lower and there is likely a higher amount of return customers for the chocolates, but I'll save you, the reader, the take on an entire business model diatribe here.

The steak was cooked perfectly. It comes sliced with a sauce that's sort of like a nicer version of Heinz 57 -- very good. The smashed potatoes were better than you'd expect, especially if you can get a side of the onion ring sauce to put on them; it sets them off really nicely. The green beans were also very good. We added a small order of onion rings as an extra side, and they were some of the best i have had in a while. They came with some kind of ranch-type sauce that was absolutely phenomenal. I ended up dipping everything in it -- the steak, the potatoes, all of it. I also had their "steak night" old fashioned, which was a solid drink. The steak night plate is a great value. My wife and I actually split it -- it's a larger portion than you'd think, and you can add on shrimp if you want a little more. side note: The croutons on the Caesar salad deserve a mention of their own some of the best I've ever had. I don't know what they do to them, but they're exceptional. As for the spot itself: super nice location, very clean. The bar has a nice feel, with large windows where you can sit and look out to the street. All the food we had was top notch -- I'd give it a full five stars for taste and value. The one thing that knocks it down a little is the service. We sat at the bar, and there were two bartenders. It wasn't especially busy, but it still took a while to get drinks. The bigger hang-up was that I asked two or three small questions about the menu and the bartenders had no idea it was a lot of "I don't know" or "let me check on that," and then they never really got back to me. Not a huge deal, and they weren't unfriendly it just wasn't quite a five-star experience on that front. Highly recommend, would recommend and return.

Although I had a few drinks, my partner and I chose to eat beforehand because we were unsure if food trucks would be available due to the holiday. The team at the bar was very friendly, providing great drink recommendations, and other staff members consistently came around to collect empty glasses, keeping the area tidy. We reserved a cabana, which was a great decision, especially when the rain came later in the day, as it kept us covered. There was plenty of seating available around the pool and in grassy shaded areas away from the pool. Bathrooms and showers were also accessible if you wanted to change clothes. One suggestion I would make is to have a more diverse music playlist. While the venue advertised that pop music would be played, it didn't always match the preferences of everyone there, especially given the diverse group of guests in attendance. Also, make sure to bring your ID; otherwise, you won't be allowed in. I had to make a trip back home to retrieve mine, even with a valid photo ID.

Nobie's

I might have just found one of my new favorite restaurants in Houston. What a great experience!…read more Recently, a good friend dined here and immediately called me to tell me how great it was. She then text our friends group and said we all had to come together and we did just that. She made reservations in advance as this place is popular thanks to recent Michelin Bib Gourmand awards as well as many other accolades. Walk ins are welcome as well. Our reservation was later in the evening so after a night of bar hopping, we ride shared in which I think is one of the best options as parking is limited here or you have to find street parking in the neighborhood. This place is literally a house turned into a restaurant. Inside is just multiple rooms with a couple of tables. It makes for a unique, intimate dining experience, perfect for a date night. In our case, we were a group of nine so we got patio seating. The patio is spacious and well kept, and if the weather cooperates, a great place to hang. One thing that really stood out to me is the amazing ambience of this place. I was told that the bartenders pick the music for the night from the owners extensive vinyl collection. Once the album is in, they play it in it's entirety. The sound system was systeming and on top of the great company and food, we were totally vibing with the music. Customer service was amazing. Every staff member we came across was so friendly, especially our server. The menu here changes. There are some mainstays, but they like to change things up. Their website shows current menus daily. We were told that family style is the best way to experience this restaurant. I am one of those people that will always listen to the staff and go with their suggestions. Our group went through quite a bit of their menu from apps, entrees and desserts. I loved that our server and staff brought our food out one by one in what they thought was the best progression so we could take a culinary journey. We started off light with their popular Dilly Bread. Best bread I've had in awhile. Next was the Texas Tartare. It was my first ever tartare and it was delicious. We then moved on to Fingerlingin Good which was a crispy potato dish with chili crisp and mascarpone. It was potatoes elevated to the highest level and so so good. Next up was Beer Battered Sweet Tots. I didn't think sweet potatoes could be that good. Our first entree was a vegan dish called the Carroty Kid. I could seriously become a vegan if all dishes tasted like this. It was curried. A bowl of jasmine rice would've made it a complete meal. Next we tried another famous Nobie's dish called Nonno's Pasta. Handmade, perfectly cooked tagliatelle with a delicious bolognese. I wouldn't share this next time. Ok, I will, but it was that good. On to the heavier dishes. First up was the Jamon With Your Bad Self. This came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It was favorite heavy entree. It was high quality, iberico pork steak with shaved brussels and all kinds of other tasty ingredients that when combined made such a tasty bite. We then went to the sea with the Drops of Grouperter. It was good, but not something I would order again. It was a little too smoky for my liking. Our biggest dish that came market priced was the Kick His Ass Seabass. This was a whole fish that was presented beautifully on a platter with all the accouterments to make your own elevated fish tacos. We left no morsel of fish behind. It was absolutely delicious. One of the things this place is really known for is their pies. This was the part I was most excited about. Just like their menu, their pies change up. We got all their offerings that night which they presented on one big platter of goodness. Their main stay and I believe always on the menu is the famous Olive Oil Cake. It's not a pie, but I can see why this is such a popular dessert. I can't even describe it, you just have to try it to understand. The pies we had were the Black Bottom Strawberry Pie, Banana Rum, and the Peanut Butter Pie. I would order all of them again. We all had a difference of opinion on which was the best, but my fave was the Banana Rum. Overall, I was highly impressed with this place and kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to make it here. It had made it's way to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in Houston. I will be back.

Flavors, flavors, flavors! This was another on our list of Michelin Bibendum spots to try, and we…read morethoroughly enjoyed the meal. We started with a dozen oysters 2 ways. The first were "natural" and nicely briny. The 2nd was pure genius: they said it would taste like a Big Mac, and they were spot on. Amazing! Steak Tartare - the steak and deviled egg mixture were satisfyingly velvety and the accompanying bread was buttery, chewy, and addictive; Puff Puff Pass - unique textures: crispy, chewy, smooth elements are married beautifully. Nonno's Pasta - this dish was my least favorite. I found the flavors to be too cheese forward with not enough acid; Jamon With Your Bad Self - while not much to look at, this dish was outstanding. The pork's texture was simply magical, and the flavors well-balanced. On the side, we had the Fingerlingin Good potatoes, and they lived up to their name: pleasantly crispy and bursting with savory goodness. Desserts: the Olive Oil Cake was a dream: incredibly moist and tender with vanilla richness and a kiss of lemon. The Black Bottom Pie was not my favorite. I would the salt to be too much and couldn't eat more than 2 bites because of it. Service: warm, gracious, attentive, and efficient. As for ambiance, this is where the restaurant misses the mark for me. It's in an old house, and when we walked in, that's exactly what I smelled: old house. Still, if you're looking for a unique, creative menu that delivers on flavors, add nobie's to your bingo card.

Now for the pizza- it was fantastic at the restaurant and somehow just as good the next day. The mortadella is a nice, mellow complement to the obvious star of the show (in my opinion): the pistachio cream. Also 10/10.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the entire experience felt top-notch from start to finish. What truly made the night exceptional was the service from our waiter, James. He was incredibly attentive, gave excellent recommendations, and genuinely wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible. He was always available whenever we needed something, yet we never once felt rushed. Highly recommend Toca Madera, and if you get the chance, ask for James!

Bungalow Downtown Dining

My second time at Bungalow, this time for a friend's birthday dinner and it's clear that this…read morerestaurant is consistent when it comes to good eats! I'll just start off with a quick recommendation from the first visit (because didn't do review that time): the Snapper - immediately yes, if you are not opposed to bony fish and working for your meal in that way lol. Now for this visit I was tempted to get the snapper again but was feeling simple & easy dining, something that didn't require me to use my hands lol. I went with the Peruvian Chicken and it did the job! Great portion, great price, great flavor. Comes with a verde sauce that I was a bit hesitant about, if I'm being honest, but it was so perfect with the chicken and the potatoes. I give it an overall 8.5/10 and it probably would've more if I would've gotten a little more potatoes with my meal. The lobster Mac was okay. The lobster was well cooked but the mac was a standard mac and cheese. Not pictured but I tried from my neighbors and liked: the seafood dip and the wagyu meatball pasta - would likely be my next Bungalow order. They also do a personal s'mores plate for birthday celebrants which I thought was really cute and unique. I must say though, parking cannnn be a hassle. But apart from that, would highly recommend!

Atmosphere is beautiful, but service for a private party of 17 was extremely poor. Lackluster…read moreservice, "manager" Gabrielle has extremely poor customer service and attention to detail and apologetics. Food waited in the private event room for 20 minutes without being served to guests, multiple drinks/glasses broke, and there was visibly no accountability for the several food issues associated with our large party. Gabrielle's attitude towards asking for corrections for your meal was substandard for what you should've received at such as "nice" establishment. The event room was unusually warm. As busy as it appears with the ratings online- I would definitely say it's inflated due to the chef (taste of food) and NOT the service. To have spent $400 for my meal with my spouse- we received a $50 meal with $0 service. Chic-Fil-A has better customer service. GM Kevin, should review the footage of the private party event that happened yesterday for the table of 17 & definitely reprimand, retrain, and reconsider some of this staff. Once he left, the night appeared to go downhill. I desired to have such a special time celebrating a friend's birthday, especially given my first time being at The Bungalow, however, this represents the worst aspects of Black establishments unfortunately. #UpscaleIdeaUnqualifiedStaffUnderwhelmingExperience

Although I am no longer a fan since they stopped serving chicken thighs…read more I went with family and I still can't get past the place being so loud!! I had a cheese sandwich which was good, but would be better if served on Texas Toast or Garlic bread. The Server was very friendly and easy to talk to.

When my friend told me to meet her for her birthday "Around the Corner" I was a little confused lol. "Is that the name of the place or literally around the corner" "oh, just the name of the place" So yes, it was her birthday and we had a lot of people. We went on the deck and the employees helped with getting our area heaters because it was a good 40 degrees outside. My friend was so excited that it was steak night. She said it's one of the best in the city. Come to find out, she wasn't lying. For $17 you can get a decent size steak, potatoes, and salad. My Fiance also got the Texan flat bread pizza. He was like "wow, it's spicy" "well duh, it has jalapenos" The vibes are great and they also have happy hour (didn't come on time) but I believe that it's from 4-7. Can't wait to come back for another Steak Night. [Review 104 for 2019. Review 547 overall] read more

Couldn't find a parking spot for brunch that wasn't paid parking. We ended up going down the street to The Rustic instead which has free parking at the Avenida South Garage read more
