Located in the 4 Seasons hotel, this restaurant is a great find. With a quiet environment, it provides a smart casual ambiance. There is a bar or comfortable lounge seats to choose from. The staff was very knowledgeable, checked on us regularly, and made excellent recommendations. The chicharron was amazing! The meat was fried, but somehow still melted in your mouth. The guac was fresh. The tortilla soup was creamy with great flavors. The ribeye has caramelized onions on top that are so rendered, they melt and pack so much flavor. The ribeye is delicious and cooked to perfection. With the price and amount of food you get, you really can't go wrong. This is my husband's go-to spot when we are in town for one of his events and I don't see that changing! read more

Lovely bar to the right of the hotel when you arrive. We came here for drinks on a Sunday afternoon.Our server was very prompt. I became hungry so I started with a burger and Cosmo. My husband ordered a whiskey sour with Uncle Nearest. They have a varied assortment of whiskey. My burger was delicious. The branded bun is a nice touch. I saw a delectable looking drink stroll by and just had to ask my waiter what it was. It was their version of an espresso martini with whip cream on top. So yummy! We relaxed and watched tv for a bit. This is a nice place to unwind. Prices are a little up there. read more

I've eaten at B&B numerous times over the years, but for some reason I had never sat at the bar until this year. Now that I've done bar seating a couple of times, I think it has become my preferred place to sit. I dined solo before a concert a few months ago. Justin and Laura were working the bar and they did an excellent job! I wanted to order my favorite (Kale Caesar with Salmon), but I noticed the salad was changed to a regular Caesar. I also noticed the increase in price for the salmon so I decided to try something different. I went with the Peach Burrata Salad. Justin recommended adding blackened chicken. I am not a huge fan of blackened chicken but I absolutely loved this salad! It was different from my usual, but it was so good and flavorful! The char on the chicken was perfect and the sweetness from the peach complimented it so well. For my drink, I started with the Spring Branch. It had a lovely lemon, thyme, and apple flavor that felt like autumn in a glass. It was so good and balanced! Laura created it and I made sure to give her feedback because it was really good. I also ordered the the Magnolia. It's gin based (my favorite) with a nice balance of raspberry and lemon. The leaf garnish was a nice touch! I came back with my friend for dinner before an Astros game a few months later. Laura was there and somehow remembered me! Arlette was also working the bar and she provided great service to us as well. I ordered the Vesper 2.0. It's extremely boozy (as a Vesper should be)! The cocktail came with truffle chips. The truffle oil and saltiness of the chips complimented the cocktail so well! I don't know who came up with the idea to combine the two, but bravo! For dinner I had the Birria Bao as well as Brussels Sprouts. The Birria Bao was delicious! The meat was seasoned and tender. The pickled onions and cilantro that topped it were delicious as well! The Brussels had a nice char and I enjoyed the dollops of cream. I only planned to have the Vesper, however Laura and Arlette hooked us up with some samples of their fall cocktail creations that they were working on for the next menu. Both cocktails were mezcal based and they were good! I can't wait to see the final product. I've found that the bartenders are more attentive which can be good if you're short on time. I really like how well they work together. They not only introduced themselves when I sat down (both visits), they made a point to introduce the other bartenders working along side them. B&B continues to be one of my favorite downtown spots for dinner and drinks! read more

Aybars was our server and he did wonderful! Knowledgeable about the menu and had great suggestions. We did make reservations ahead of time, but it was quite empty when we arrived and they just told us to sit anywhere. It's a very chill bar/light bites restaurant. We got the Lobster tacos (actually really good and each taco had good chunks of lobster in it), Sweet Potato Fries (crispy), Truffle Fries, BB bayou burger (juicy, cooked nicely) + crispy large onion rings with a excellent batter. Drinks - Margarita with tajin on the rim and reposado tequila (pretty strong) Parking - Valet $8 TIP if you have a toyota center concert, grab a bite or drink here first and then 5 min walk to the arena Afterwards, you'll come back to the four seasons and pay the cashier and they'll bring your car out to you. Restrooms - Clean, fancy napkins read more

I came to Bottle & Bayou ready for a good meal and birthday celebration, and I got one, but what I really got was the best service of my entire life thanks to our waiter Tawanda Let me be clear: This man deserves a raise, a promotion, and at least one vacation day... preferably paid. He was the sweetest soul ever, worked harder than any waiter I've seen, and made the whole experience feel like five-star fine dining even though I casually ordered a burger with sweet potato fries. The food was good solid, tasty, hit the spot. But the real highlight? Tawanda's service was the meal. The burger + fries combo did its job, but he was the star of the show. Attentive, kind, personable, super hardworking, and just radiating "I actually care about my tables" energy. I wish every server in the world had his work ethic and heart. Bottle & Bayou, please take care of him. He deserves the best of the best -- and honestly, so do y'all for hiring someone like him. Food = Vibes = Tawanda = (should be the restaurant logo at this point) I'll definitely be back, but only if Tawanda is still there so I can leave this review all over again. read more

The bar of the Four Seasons. Not to be confused with there Speakeasy Bandista upstairs. Located right on the first floor lobby of the hotel. Parking - is either valet at the hotel, or find street parking. I street parked a few blocks away. I came here for the first time early evening, for some pre drinks for a friend's bday dinner upstairs. My friend had a resy. But you could probably just show up and be seated, depending how crowded it is. The crowd was steady influx. It has a cool simple decor. There were several people dressed up nice and fancy, for a wedding upstairs. The place has plenty of various types of seating, which is probably the best thing about the place. From high top tables, large leather couches, booths, bar stools etc. Seems like a great place to hang out with a group, to grab drinks & bite before or after a night out. Centrally located downtown. Walking distance to all kinds of entertainment. Such as the theater, ballet, baseball game, concert venues etc. Drinks - I ordered the Cruel Summer. I enjoyed it. It was pretty boozy, so I only needed one before dinner. Service was easy enough. We came back again, later on in the night. It was more crowded, but we were able to be seated again. The group ordered several items, chips/queso, burger & O-rings, fries. The bite of burger I had wasn't bad. I think everyone enjoyed there food. Overall an easy experience, which is all you can ask for. read more

I have never heard of this place. Tiffany J. recommend this has a pregame before the Astros game. This is one of her favorite spots and I'm so happy she shared it with me. Located on in the lobby of the four seasons hotel, you get very upscale vibes as soon as you walk in. The service was great and the drinks and food were amazing! I had their Dr. Pepper old fashion and it was one of the best I've ever had. I would rank it the best in Houston but second on my overall list. The carnitas quesadilla looked really good, I was told it was good by Tiffany but she didn't offer me a bit so I wouldn't know. I'm joking, I had my own problems with the massive Birra tacos. They really stuffed these tacos and the pickled onions and avocado on top was the perfect pairing. The flavor was next level and I would say probably the best Birra tacos I've had! I even made the joke "They have someone's Abuela back there making this food!" I will be back again and soon! read more

Decent. We had to wait 30 minutes past our reservation which made us rush through our meal as we had a show to see. The steak was delicious but our appetizer (the chicharones) was OK. The drinks were OK as well but overall I would probably not be back. read more

Shoutout to Tiffany J for putting me on this spot! We were attending a concert at the House of Blues across the street , so she suggested we come here to pregame. It's a short hop, skip and jump over from the venue. We made reservations, but walk ins are welcome too. Closer to the time of the concert and into the evening hours, this place did get busier. Customer service was ok. It was slow at times and a wrong drink was brought out at one point. It's located in the Four Seasons so as expected, the place was beautiful with an upscale ambience. It's not classified as a sports bar, but it really is a glorified version of one. There's plenty of large TVs around to catch a game. They also have the first ever Topgolf Swing Suite. Not only can you golf on this thing, but you can also play other games as well. There are two suites which can be combined to one for a larger party. They have an amazing whiskey and bourbon collection along with a whiskey locker if you want to store some of your prized collection here. One thing that caught my attention immediately when I stalked the menu before coming here was the Dr Pepper Old Fashioned. I've recently been on an old fashioned kick and this drink was delicious. It was masterfully made and everything I wanted it to be. The ingredients used did give off the slightest essence of a Dr Pepper which not only made it unique, but tasty as well. The only complaint I had was the waitress took off with my cherries before I could eat them. I was told the burger here was great so I went with the Bayou Burger. The burger was made with a brisket blend which gave it great flavor. It was cooked to a perfect medium as requested and was delicious. The hand cut fries was a tasty added bonus. We still had time before the show so I ordered 8th Wonder Rocket Fuel to sip on for it's coffee flavor. Overall, this was an awesome place that I will surely add to my downtown list of places to revisit. I will be back! read more

Had a great experience at Bayou & Bottle as I needed a quiet space to watch the Bills game this past weekend before heading to the airport. I was thrilled to see Athletic Brewing on the menu and quickly ordered the Upside Dawn beer to enjoy with the game. The staff were so accommodating, turning down the music and turning up the game for me. I also really, really appreciated Olivia allowing me to order off of the Toro Toro menu but have it delivered at Bayou & Bottle! I needed this because there apparently aren't any TVs at Toro Toro. Anyway, I went with her recommendation of the Angry Scorpion Roll (Spicy Tuna, Crab, Avocado, Cucumber). The roll was a decent size and the tuna was SOOO fresh. The roll pretty much melted in my mouth and the wasabi was legit wasabi. read more

AJ /Avery made our day! He was the nicest server, and granted we were there on a slow afternoon, but he stayed by our table and we had a great conversation with him. He told us about the hotel, the area, gave us recommendations on the drinks and menu, and was very nice. We played top golf and then enjoyed more drinks in the bar area, but were able to keep him as our server. The food here is AMAZING. We had the roasted romanesco appetizer, but I added steak on to it and made it my entree. I had to look up what romanesco was, it is a perfect blend of the two parts of broccoli combined into one. So instead of a stock and a top, it's all sort of one thing. Perfect texture and amazing sauce on it. The drinks were all delightful. Overall an amazing place to be. The only weird part was the toilet paper in the luxurious bathrooms was black. But anyway the games are fun, the food is great, the service is impeccable. read more

Nice quaint and quiet during earlier part of the day for early lo key dining, but definitely the spot as the day grows. I enjoyed my meal here as well located downstairs near the entry of Four Seasons. Server was top grade going well out his way to ensure the meal was to the guest liking. Even offered to get my dessert from the other restaurant. Brought a tear to my eye. Minus, the parmesan, the dish was quickly remade, it was very tasty and worth the wait. Lighting was great, noise level, it was an all around vibe. read more

I was searching for a place to eat before attending the Michael Yo comedy show at the HOB. I've had heard of this place, but never patronized it until last evening (02/03/2024). The place is located inside the Four Seasons Hotel in the main lobby area. Make sure you are entering the hotel and not the Four Seasons Apartments which is adjacent to the hotel. There are signs to point you to the right direction, but I did notice a couple not paying attention. The place is very accommodating. You can choose to sit either at a table, booth, or bar. Since it was only just me, I sat at the bar. They had enough staff to there so I didn't have to wait that long to get served. Plus, they were very friendly, and I noticed that they called their regular customers by name, or, at least, greeted them with a handshake. The food and drink were very good. The burger had just enough of the "grease factor" to make it delicious. I wish I had finished it, though. Yes, defeated once again. The sweet potato fries were just right: not too salty or greasy. I ordered a Dr. Pepper Old Fashioned (old overholt rye + levels of grandeur Dr. Pepper® syrup + averna amaro + coquerel calvados + cherry vanilla bitters + angostura bitters). It was delicious! You can really taste the Dr. Pepper! Too bad I was driving because I would have ordered another one. By the way, they do offer whiskey flights. It's not shown on their website, but it's in their on-site menu. Will I try this place again? Yes! Besides that Lobster Quesadilla sounds delicious! read more

This restaurant is very high class and sadly they're not satisfied with the money they receive from their "rich" customers. I dined here during restaurant week which in Houston the proceeds are donate to the food bank. This is my second year participating in Houston's restaurant week and this was the establishment I saw take more than they were giving. Their menu says they will donate $3 from the lunch menu meals YET they're going to add a 20% service charge to your bill menu. So they donated $3 and in my case pocketed $2.50 for themselves that looks like a business looking out for themselves and NOT an organization that helps those who can't afford food. Then on top of that, they served these tiny a** tacos (that should be called mini) that came with no side. I only chose to stay here after reading the LIE because I'd just flew in and didn't know this gimmick prior to arriving. Do not dine here during restaurant week and I'm not dining here ever again because they're NOT for the people they're for people pockets. read more

Sunday's brunch at Bayou and Bottle was simply amazing!! It's at the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel. Don't worry about parking because they have valet for six bucks. The wait staff was pretty pleasant. Resys aren't needed but we had one. I ordered the steak and eggs and my steak was cooked to perfection. My steak had lots of great seasoning and it came with an avocado and eggs any way you want them (I got scrambled) and was really delicious!! The Banana Fosters pancakes presentation was entertaining and they were so good. I would most definitely revisit this location. I give it a good 4.0 out of 5.0. read more

We made a reservation and they accommodated our party of five in a little alcove in the back corner of the restaurant. Service was excellent and very attentive! They had great suggestions on wine and mixed drinks. All of the ladies drinking really enjoyed everything they had. Several of us had the snapper and it was excellent! I had the chicken adobo and it was perfect. Perfectly moist chicken lightly spiced. They changed up the vegetables for me and the brussels sprouts were amazing! Everything we had we would get again and every server we came in contact with was excellent! 5 star! read more

I love coming here for quick eats and drinks. The service and food are always nice, and so far each time I've come it's never crowded. During this time of year everything is so festive and decorative for the holidays, which to makes an even better dining experience. The first time I came in awhile back I had the bayou nachos (not sure if they still sell that) which were delicious. The second time I had the chips and queso with the option to add chicken, grilled shrimp or lobster - which is quite nice. I opted to add the grilled shrimp. This hit the spot. My friend ordered the mini tacos which she enjoyed as well. For drinks I had the Turtle Power w/added tajin and the moradita. Both were delicious and refreshing, but I think my favorite out of the two was the moradita. The valet is pretty convenient as well and not overly expensive if you're just dining in. In a nutshell, I'll definitely be back for more. read more

We were here for lunch today. Food and service were good. The ambiance is nice. They do have lots of varieties of whiskey at the bar. My friend had the Houston Restaurant week menu and I had the regular lunch menu. Both were good choices. The place was quite empty during lunch hour. They also have 2 room for top golf which are very nice. Too bad we couldn't try since we have to go back to work. I believe there is a charge for $60/hour. Everything went well until we went out to pick up our car from the valet service. It took the man 10min to find my car key. Also even though my car parked right up front of the hotel but my window was left completely opened. I don't think it's right for whoever did that. Luckily I didn't leave any valuables in the car. I wasn't too happy when I saw it. I'm sure if my car is a Mercedes Benz or some other fancy cars. The valet personnel would have roll the window all the way up. The whole experience was so nice then the valet just killed the mood read more

Left the Astros game and it was 10:30ish so we were scrambling to find something open this late on a Monday and we stumbled across this restaurant close by the stadium in the four season. They were packed since everyone had the same idea but it was self seating so we got a table instantly. We ended up getting the hummus the chicken and the burger. The food was good but what really impressed me was the plating! Look at how pretty the hummus was plated. For 11 pm I wasn't expecting that and I was pleasantly surprised. would go again (: read more

I'm in town for a few days so I decided to stop in and get a drink at one of my favorite lounges in the city. First of all Bayou & Bottle is located in the 4 seasons hotel. It's very easy to spot, just walk through the lobby and look right, you can't miss it. The lounge is very spacious which is rare because most hotel lounges don't have as much space as B&B has. If you're ok with 15 dollar drinks than this is the place for you. I like my drinks to be more on the pricey side since you shouldn't get cheap with your alcohol hahahaha. You come in & sit wherever you like & then a server comes over to introduce themselves as your server for the evening. I was lucky enough to get Gervin as my guy. Whenever you come in ask for this gentleman, he's the real deal. His knowledge of the menu was impressive as well as his recommendation of the paper plane. I've never had a paper plane before so I was curious about the taste & it did not disappoint. I am now locking this in as one of my new favorite drinks. I tried the Dr Pepper old Fashioned & even though it was pretty good I think I prefer the regular old fashioned instead. The Sidecar I had was delicious & they didn't do a sugar rim which is good & bad. I'm a sugar fiend so I needs my sugar but it was great because I could truly taste how delicious the Sidecar was without the added sugar. The Moradita is a pretty strong tequila cocktail so if you're a fan of tequila & a fan of getting the party started early I recommend this drink. Straight to the point, no messing around. I ended my evening with a shot of 1792 & it was the perfect icing on the cake. Made some small talk with Gervin and then we did the awkward "Do we handshake or fist bump because of Covid" Dance. Hahahaha great times. I love this lounge, I'll be back whenever I'm in town. If you ever come here ASK FOR GERVIN he's the man. Great atmosphere, great people, great drinks read more

The food was incredibly tasty! That lobster quesadilla was the BEST I've ever had. It had big, beautiful chunks of fresh tasting lobster in it. If had to offer any criticism, it would be over the amount of guacamole you get. They go more for presentation and don't fill the bowl. For $18, the portion size could definitely use improvement. Service was good, but slightly slow on occasion. Ambiance fluctuated between medium and loud. Overall, we loved this place! The food alone would bring me back. read more
