    So my friend and I were on our way home from a function and found this place on the Google. It is located just under the apartment complex Elan. There is plenty of parking in the garage. Turns out it's brand new and we happened to stop by during their soft opening! This is a seafood restaurant with many delicious options. The offer a variety of water which I love. Of course I got sparkling water! Our waitress was lovely! So helpful with setting the experience and providing useful information! We started with the shrimp dip! Um 10/10 it was so good! I mean perfection put it on a pasta literally! It come with a warm soft bread covered in parmeasan. I ordered the fried snapper which comes with dirty rice. Absolutely excellent! 10/10. My friend ordered the blackened snapper and said it was great as well! Lastly we ordered the crossiant bread pudding! Excuse me! Hands down the best bread pudding! It also comes with home made vanilla bean ice cream. We had a chance to meet one of the chef/ owners! Appreciated his insight into his vision for the restaurant! His passion definitely shows in the product he serves! They plan to roll out brunch around Easter and I will be back to try that menu too! This restaurant was refreshing! Good food, good service. An overall excellent experience!

    New upscale Atlantic coastal seafood restaurant will not disappoint. They kept the background music low, so cheerful diners were able to easily converse. Food and service were excellent. Free parking garage just 30 feet from the front with wide spaces.

    I loved everything about this place! The ambience, the wait staff, the food, you name it! I picked this place to celebrate Mother's Day with my mother, grandmother, and sisters and it did not disappoint. I will most definitely be back.

    This restaurant is 10+ certified! The food choices, ambiance, service and hospitality were all amazing. Menu and drink options were also good. I highly recommend this spot for Happy Hour, Date night or just out for dinner.

    Just Wow! That's how I felt leaving this restaurant. It was not what I expected at all. We saw this restaurant on Instagram so decided to give it a try. From what we saw online we knew it was a black owned upscale restaurant by Chef Virgil so we were excited about that as well. If you been to Toast on Lenox in ATL, then you know Chef Virgil and you know that food was GREAT! Let's get into it. They have a parking garage with a few spots and a few spots out front but to be safe come prepared to Valet. We walked in and we were immediately greeted and led to our seats. Our waiter Dwayne didn't even let us sit down good before he was greeted us. He was Amazing throughout the night. He was so passionate that you would swear he owned the resturant. This man loves his job. The ambiance is very nice. It gives upscale vibes with no grass walls and no twerking vibe. It doesn't appear to be a dress code but everyone looked pretty nice while a few looked to be in comfort clothes. We came during happy hour so we could taste all the items. The gumbo...loved it and the highlight and 5$$$$ on happy hour! The charbroiled oysters were sizzling and good. We are not lamb chop people but we ordered them He really liked them. The sweet potato puree brought out the flavor. The crab cake was great. The crab claws... omg.. that flavor. I ordered sides that were not on happy hour which were the Mac n cheese and greens. I have never seen that much cheese it mac.. that was amazing. The greens were great. They have a unique taste that you not ready for but they are great. The lemon drop and old fashions were on happy hour and were awesome. They have gained new customers and we will be back! They are in their soft opening and officially open on the 25th i believe. Go support this spot!

    Where do I start??? The food is absolutely Devine! Went there on a Thursday for a surprise bday celebration for my good friend Mary. lol (inside joke). They do have a great HH albeit short 5 - 7 pm So when we got there, the bar area which is kinda small was definitely filled. However to make up for small bar, they let you order HH deals at the tables. Atlantic Ocean When we get there I talk to Aaron whom I assume is the manager and baby if I say Aaron did his big one??? He did! He was able to sit my impromptu party of 6 at a table. Great decor! Clean great smelling restrooms! Service was prompt and drinks good! Now to the important information! The food! That food was 10/10! I am a tough critic and this food especially being for HH was amazing! We got the Seafood gumbo; fried green tomatoes &okra; char grilled oysters; crab claws; crab cake and the lamb chops! Basically everything on the HH menu and everything was literally 10/10. It's been a while since I have been to a restaurant where your prior food order is better than what's in front of you!! Everything was absolutely 10/10

    crab cakes; oysters and gumbo

    Happy hour was an exceptional experience!!! We enjoyed the oysters; crab cakes and gumbo! The lamb chops and crab claws were also delicious! The service and ambiance was excellent as well.

    Bar Buena was a surprise find after we participated in a cooking class at Sur La Table across the…read morestreet. After the byob cooking experience, we figured "why not!?" So we walked on over to this little speakeasy and were immediately greeted by the bouncer. On a Thursday night, it was quite crowded, but were able to find the last remaining seats at the bar. We were seated at the left end of the bar, which was nice because we had our own little "nook" away from the rest of the bar. Adjacent to us was the server station - the one server tending to the tables, Marilyn, frequently came by and we immediately befriended her. She gave us excellent recommendations and provided her opinion on several drinks. Robin was the bartender who took care of us throughout the night. She was super friendly from the moment we sat down and gave us stellar recommendations on food and drinks. She was happy to tweak a couple of their seasonal drinks to our liking, and even offered to mix other drinks that weren't on the menu. Fantastic service from Robin throughout the night. I started out with Tommy's Margarita - this was just their take on a classic margarita, nothing super special. I then ordered the Oaxacan Old Fashioned - think of an old fashioned made with tequila and mezcal in lieu of bourbon. I was a bit cautious about this one since I am not a fan of mezcal, however the smoky flavor was not very apparent in this one, which was a huge plus! I also got the Ardilla - very unique drink made with mexican corn whiskey, cocoa nibs, sherry, and a milk punch. I award this drink for most unique I've had in a while, definitely give it a try if you're up for something new. To finish, I had the Cariña - their take on an espresso martini made with reposado tequila. I really liked this espresso martini - it was a great way to finish out the night and I left feeling inspired to make my espresso martinis at home using tequila now! With the little room we had left in our stomachs, we tried the Pato Tinga Memela, which was duck leg (no bone) with beans and onions and cilantro atop a memela. I haven't had memela specifically per se, but consider me a fan. It is basically a mini "cake" of masa that is pan fried to a slight crispiness. An Oaxacan speciality, where else can I find these in Houston!? We also tried the Guacamole y Tostadas. The guacamole was unique in the sense that it was Oaxacan style, so contains pepitas, pickled onions, and queso fresco. The tostadas were super crispy and reminded me of how they serve guacamole in Mexico (rather than with chips/totopos). Fun fact is that this bar is owned by Goode Company. Next door to this is Goode Co. Cantina, so it's nice that they created an adjoining restaurant + speakeasy concept within the same strip. At one point in our visit, Levi Goode was standing next to us. We didn't know until after he left and Marilyn informed us, that that was THE man. Just doing a casual check-in of his bar. We really had a good experience at Bar Buena and look forward to returning. The food menu has quite a few offerings I wanted to try had I not come from a cooking class. We were also told that the seasonal drink menu was set to change shortly after our visit, so I look forward to trying these drinks!

I will definitely be back for more. We were having such a good time that I forgot to take pictures. Get ready for flavor town.

I've been on the…read morehunt for my favorite espresso martini in Houston, and while surprisingly, my favorite so far was at Postino's, but man. Clarkwood really does know what they're doing with these espresso martinis! I loved the added touch of the burnt marshmallow on mine, and the coffee seemed pretty good quality too. The second time I visited I also enjoyed their spicy watermelon margarita. Also amazing. It tasted a little bit like a spicy jolly rancher? SO good! They also let us know that if we posted and tagged them on our instagram, that we could receive a free round of shots. So, of course, me and my two friends posted to get some shots too. We were able to try the Mexican candy shot, the raspberry lemon drop shot, and the mini matcha martini shot. Honestly all were really good, but my favorite in order were the 1) raspberry lemon drop shot, 2) Mexican candy shot, then 3) the matcha martini shot. The matcha martini was good but as it's creamier, I think having it as an actual martini than a shot is more appropriate. Still, it's a great way to try a new drink and just sip on it rather than taking it as a shot. Also - the venue is so elegant and charming and such a cute spot for a date night. The music was a littleeee loud for me considering it's such a small space, but that's okay. Either way, I loved Clarkwood and will be coming back again :)

    Clarkwood has a nice intimate atmosphere and would work for a casual girls night or date night, but…read moreI'd only recommend going on a weekday. The drinks are actually really good, but overpriced and the space is so small that it gets crowded quickly with little seating. The parking situation is also rough since there's basically none available. Uber or Lyft there instead. The road it's on is pretty tight. The staff came across pretty standoffish as well and didn't really check on or help guests unless you went up to them first. Overall, it's a decent spot for the vibe, but the experience didn't fully live up to the hype for me.

Even this time the GPS took us to an entrance that had us going the wrong way down a one-way, but we eventually figured it out I will say that the parking isn't all that great, but we were able to find a spot. If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!
