    Breakfast sandwich
    Brandi B.

    I really like Bellagreen for the most part! Their menu feels healthy without being bland. I've liked pretty much everything I've ever ordered and especially love their pizzas, particularly the pepperoni and fig and pig. You can often see them hand making the dough near the counter area when you place your order. The counter service is fine, but the managers (I believe) have always been extra friendly and helpful, checking in to make sure your meal is going well. Their menu has something for everyone and they typically have some additional seasonal items depending on the time of year. The only downside I've experienced is with some pick up orders. I live *very* close, aka just taking an elevator down to pick up my food, and I once received breakfast tacos that were already cold and were so sparsely filled that I condensed them into two tacos instead of the three it comes with. Their mobile app could also use a lot of work but that's just me being picky! Overall I think this is a great spot with convenient parking which is always a win in Houston!

    Came here with a group of friends and the food is so fresh and tasty and nutritious, I can't believe it's a chain. I like that there's more than just salad as options. So much seating and wasn't very busy when we went. Definitely want to try their dessert

    Hi-Protein Hempenadas
    Mimi T.

    I ordered to go on a weekday late night so it wasn't crowded. I did get confused with parking with a lot next door since it was dark outside which isn't for their customers. There is a connected parking lot inside the building. I do wish there was better lighting outside the restaurant because it looked closed from the outside view. The employee greeted me & my order was prepared in a timely manner. I got the roasted butternut squash & brussel sprouts bowl without the wild rice & added grilled chicken & the hi-protein hempenadas. Everything tasted delicious & fresh. I really liked the cilantro & chipotle sauces with the empanadas! Next time, I would definitely like to dine at the restaurant & try other items!

    ORGANIC QUINOA SALAD [GF][DF][VEG] with tofu
    Devangi D.

    Bellagreen never disappoints! The portions are ginormous -- come hungry! I had the grilled tofu salad, which was vibrant, fresh, and packed with flavor. We finished with the bread pudding, served warm and absolutely amazing -- soft, gooey, and comforting in all the right ways. A great spot for a wholesome meal with a sweet finish! Nice weeknight meal

    Who wants to eat this dry no sauce taco?
    L S.

    I haven't written a review in a long time but this is such a dumb circumstance that I have to say something. I stopped going to this location because they couldn't figure out how to make a chicken sandwich that wasn't completely dry or a tiny withered piece of chicken. I finally came back to try it out. I found out that I really love their fried fish tacos. However, I hate the habanero sauce. For many visits I asked for "dry" tacos - no sauce. It worked for 2 visits - delicious. Last time, I came in and requested again. When I got the tacos I noticed they had been previously dipped in habanero sauce as if they accidentally prepared it wrong and didn't think I'd notice. Only the fish was soggy with the sauce they drenched it in. I ate it and didn't complain. It was gross. I thought I'd try again today. I explained to the cashier what happened last time to avoid repeating the mistake. She stoically placed the order without acknowledging what happened. No apology. I waited for the food. It was drenched with habanero. I sent it back. The guy who delivered it - no apology and didn't listen either. A few minutes later I got the dry tacos with no sauces at all. I had to ask for the pico and the peach chipotle (two additional trips) then was told how I should order it next time - which was exactly how I ordered it this time. Guess I won't be coming back for a really long time again. I tried.

    Honey Garlic cauliflower wings
    Kristal T.

    I love to eat vegetarian meals at least twice a week. And these wings are my go to when I eat vegetarian meals. They are a starter here but the portion is big enough to be a meal. They are my favorite thing at Bella Green!!!!

    HONEY GARLIC CAULIFLOWER WINGS [GF][VEG]

    The cauliflower wings are amazing and so are the pulled chicken tacos!!! The Brick chicken is also pretty good. Service is always good and the outside area is nice to sit in.

    A solid neighborhood place with a great rewards program. I usually get a salad here. They're all good and far too big to finish in one sitting. Their fish tacos are a messy and tasty option. Wine by the glass options are good and they have a happy hour with $3 beers. Their pizza is not worth the calories. A bit soggy, even though I'd asked for it to be crisped.

    Honey-Fried Goat Cheese & Arugula Salad
    Melodi D.

    I adore bellagreen. The ambiance is very nice; it is well-lit and decorated, creating a warm and trendy vibe. You order at a counter and they bring the food to you, so the dining experience is more on the casual side. The food is consistently great. My go-to order is the Honey Fried Goat Cheese & Arugula Salad. It is so fresh and fruity, with the salty element introduced by that amazing fried goat cheese medallion. It is the perfect lunch. I've also tried their Wagyu Burger, and it is hearty, flavorful, and delicious. Highly recommend!

    Kale Caesar Salad with added grilled chicken
    Ruby D.

    A Saturday craving for a specific lunch~ brought me here after SO many years: chicken caesar salad with fries and a coke. This review isn't for everyone and that's okay but for the girls that get it, this is for you. Solo girl lunch is something I try to do once a week for myself. Service: counter service girl was whatever but, it doesn't even matter in this instance because all I want to do is talk to as little people as possible but still get my food ordered. Seating: Lots of two top tables placed in good cozy corners. Options for ideal people watching but not being watched as you eat a solo lunch. Chefs kiss Salad and fries: They nailed this for me. The 'kale caesar' is a perfectly upgraded caesar salad. Pickled red onions, fried capers, sun dried tomatoes added a lot to this simple standard salad. I added grilled chicken for the $3.99 and it was a bit dry, not a dealbreaker but I might try their blackened or roasted chicken options next time. Fries were crispy and hot, served with ketchup. Beverage: Soda choices were half Pepsi products and half Stubborn sodas, which are good too. Dr Pepper is always my top choice so I was happy. Compostable green straw but isn't the trash paper kind (sry not sry) Parking: this BG location is under some apartments so the first floor of the garage is parking for the restaurant! Easy.

    Veggie tacos (gluten free)
    Harshath G.

    As someone with celiac (strict gluten-free), I really appreciated the options available at this place and their care with making things careful in terms of cross-contamination as well as having a gluten-free fryer. The restaurant is quite large with both indoor and outdoor seating, pretty clean, and usually not too crowded. It's an order at counter type of place and they bring your food to the table. The non-salad entrees that are both gluten-free and vegetarian, a bit more limited, but there are definitely a few options. I opted for the veggie tacos and also ate some fries. The sauces served with the tacos were nice, and I appreciated the mix of vegetables in the tacos. Given this place is more of an American bistro, I don't think tacos are necessarily their specialty item, so they were not bad but not incredible. The fries were great! I might consider going here 1 or 2 more times to try 1-2 more items, as I definitely appreciate the gluten-free options.

    Honey-Fried Goat Cheese & Arugula Salad
    Tracey Z.

    Get the Honey-fried Goat Cheese & Arugula Salad! Literally to die for. There's so many fun fruity flavors balanced out with the tangy dressing and the butter arugula. At the honey friend goat cheese dressing was a bit oily in my opinion was added the perfect creamy crunchy but to the salad. Wow

    Pookianas R.

    Aneena: As someone with dietary restrictions, Bellagreen has a wide variety of gluten free and dairy free options. The staff is always super sweet and they do a great job of making sure we are enjoying our meal. Today I ordered from the seasonal menu, the Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Mango bowl with an addition of Blackened Chicken. The Blackened Chicken was very flavorful and has a nice kick to it hehe! The meal includes sweet potatoes, wild rice, mangoes, black beans, and house made Hawaiian bbq sauce. We love coming to this location and highly recommend it:)! Dillon: Bellagreen is gas. I always get the angus burger and it slaps every time. The bread pudding is the best in the city (as far as I know). The price is very reasonable and the burger is only $13. Great place to take my pookie because the food is great and the portion sizes are awesome.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, especially during brunch with all the natural lighting coming through the indoor space. Such a lovely atmosphere with plants surrounding us.

I arrived about an hour before closing, expecting it to be quiet, but at 9:00 p.m. it was still bustling with energy, laughter, and that soft glow that makes everything feel a little more special. I ordered the pork chop and swapped the carrots for broccolini. The pork chop had a beautiful char and was full of flavor--slightly undercooked, yes, but still delicious enough to carry the whole meal. I do wish they had mashed potatoes on the menu, though... it would have made it perfect. We also shared the Brussels sprouts, and sadly, they missed the mark this time. Dry and bitter, nothing like the saucy, flavorful version I've had before--maybe just the late hour catching up with the kitchen. But even so, that pork chop... it lingered in the best way. And sometimes, that's all you need.

    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.

    Boy I really wanted to like this place but I may be one of the few people in Houston that doesn't…read more I had reservations for the outside patio and we were immediately greeted by the water boy. He ended up being one of the best aspects of our experience that evening. Our waitress wasn't nearly as good. We started by asking for ice in the water from the waitress since they just give you room temp water. After 10 mins of seeing her serve other tables and ignoring our request, we then figured the water boy would make it happen...and sure enough he did. We then ordered the grilled oysters, which are very lightly cooked, almost seemingly steamed more than anything, but they were very good regardless of the cooking method with the sauces and garnishes and pickle juice added. Next up was ordering the entrees. The menu here is a little strange with numerous vegan choices with strange titles and only a few items with protein. To top it off, there are not many choices period. The waitress explained that the left side is basically the apps, and the right side is basically the entrees. I knew I wanted to try the wagyu flat iron steak which is priced pretty high here, compared to other wagyu flat irons I've had at other restaurants across the US. We couldn't really decide on a 2nd main dish then the waitress mentioned the off the menu special which was a scallop pasta so we picked that thinking it sounded delicious. The entrees come out about 15 mins later, and we take our first bites and we both thought, oh no, if we share the other person across from me isn't going to like this dish because it's too salty. I tried the steak first and noticed the sauce being extra salty, then I tried the pasta and the pasta was way worse, but the scallops didn't seem to be affected. We immediately told the waitress the next time she stopped by....and she just said okay, and walked away. I figured she would go get the manager....but nope...she just kept on serving other tables. At this point we thought to ourselves only the oyster app was decent.....and no reason to look at the dessert menu since we had already spent over $100 on food we could hardly eat. Sure enough, the waitress stops by a 2nd time and asks if we'd like to see the dessert menu. I couldn't leave fast enough and told her we'll skip. Needless to say we both left hungry as the portions were not only not edible, but also fairly small. The water boy also stopped by and offered to turn on the heater if we get cold. Boy, I wish he was our waiter instead. For a supposedly Michelin-starred restaurant, I feel they really got this one wrong.

Their chicken sandwich is a must try and has gotten well deserved accolades. Perfectly breaded, toasted bun, and very juicy. We paired it with the churro French toast, an almost cloyingly sweet (but perfectly cooked) dish that definitely needed a savory balance. Their bacon is delicious, super thick with a slightly herby flavor. The evening hours can get loud between the crowds and the DJ, but the vibe is still really cool and chill.

The only unfortunate part of my experience was that the two of us at my table got the same dish - biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was dense but softened under the rich and savory gravy, and I got my eggs over easy to get the yolk mixed in. I also added some of their house-made habanero curry hot sauce, which is absolutely delicious. I'll definitely have to try a few other dishes next time! Their coffees are also great, with unique flavors for their lattes like spiced guava and molasses. Both of these were super tasty, hot and iced! Ultimately 93' Til is staying on my brunch list as a top tier choice, I can't wait to come back!

Yet we had to wait for some time before someone came to seat us. Our water glasses were not refilled unless we specifically asked. After we started our main courses, neither the server nor a manager came by to even ask us how the food was; and this is despite the restaurant being only a quarter full. After we finished and were leaving, the person in front did not bother to say good bye or thank us for coming. Very surprising behavior for an upscale restaurant.

    We came back for more! It feels like an escape from Houston…read more Service is helpful. Pluses A. Free bread and butter great to begin with 1. Outdoor patio with fans is great and the music selection is much improved and a good volume so you can hear your dining companion 2. Bolognese pasta is still great 3. New lamb dish is delish, meat is juicy 4. Gelato trio nice to end in a refreshing cool note 5. Filled beignets always wins especially when there is strawberry filling 6. Carajillo yummy Areas to improve 1. Leeks appetizer was a huge disappointment- not that tasty and had a big gob of dressing on the side 2. I don't eat raw or caviar so I wish they had more appetizers It's great dining for special occasions, highly recommended!

    I started my evening at Milton's ascending a small yet imposing staircase to reach the dining area…read more I will say that the anticipation paid off. The place is impressive and elegant. The staff were also pleasant and attentive, checking in on us and making sure we knew what dishes were new and popular. Based on recommendations, I got the lasagna, which was designed based on the Italian flag and was stunning-both in appearance and taste. Each bite was balanced and flavorful, going well with both of the sauces. The chicken parm was also elevated in flavor, giving a home-like and rich feeling to each bite. For dessert I got the chocolate mousse and it was rich heavenly bliss. The meringue and mousse went perfectly together in both flavors and textures. A wonderful experience!

    This is a combination review for a dinner at Milton's that I purchased at a charity auction and a…read moresubsequent meal where we brough our son and daughter in law to Milton's to celebrate their 4th wedding anniversary. Bottom line is that Milton's should be your go to place for just good old Italian fare but in an upscale but not stuffy atmosphere. Mark Sayre - the restaurant groups beverage director hosted the charity dinner for my wife and I and 4 other guests. We were served 9 courses family style including a couple of cold plates, a couple of salads, a couple of pastas and a couple of entrees along with a dessert. Everything was fantastic and Mark did a great job of hosting and explaining the wine pairings. The best of the apps was the Sicilian Tar tar. Tuna, scallop and salmon perfectly marinated on crostinis. The Hearts of Palm Salad was excellent, and they are definitely sharable, probably made for 3 - 4 guests to share. Of the two pastas the Cresta De Gallo stood out the most, but the Bolognese was also virtually perfect. Of the two entrees we enjoyed the Chicken Piccata slightly more than the Hanger Steak. On our second visit, Ryan was our server. He had been our server at Underbelly, One Fifth and Georgia James in the past and remembered us immediately and was a wonderful host for the meal. This time the table enjoyed the Chargrilled Oysters and the Parsley Salad to start. We also sampled 4 pastas - The Cresta De Gallo again, the Chitarra with Scallops and Uni, the Lumache with Vodka Sauce and the Sourdough Tagliatelle. All were fantastic. My personal favorite was the Chitarra. In the end we finished off all 4 so no leftovers. We then shared the Chicken Piccata as our only entree. This dish is so good. Juicy Chicken, flavorful sauce, and the Sourdough Tagliatelle was the perfect accompaniment. We also enjoyed two desserts - The Budino (which is more like a chocolate tort than a pudding) and the Tiramisu. Both wonderful. If Milton's wasn't over an hour from our house, it would become a regular on the rotation. But it is definitely good enough to warrant many return visits.

The team behind the popular restaurant Nobie's opened up this tiki inspired restaurant. Tiki bars happen to be one of my favorite varieties of bars so I was more than excited to finally check it off my list. I had recently seen them on the Food Network as well. They share a lot with another popular dining spot so parking can be a little difficult in their lot. You can find street parking or park across the street in an overflow lot. Customer service was great from start to finish. We had just ate next door and our intentions were to come in here just for cocktails, but I couldn't leave without trying some of the popular items. I wanted the most tropical drink I could find on the menu so I started off with the Blue Hawaiian. I saw fire on the description so my extra self needed to have it. I'm a big rum guy so this drink was right up my alley and very boozy with two types of rum. It was very coconut forward with pineapple being the secondary flavor. One was enough for me to feel just right. Since we had just ate, we decided to share the World Famous Cheeseburger. This was a great burger. I don't know if they were going for the smash effect, but it had smash burger characteristics. It had all my favorite things that are musts on a burger like American cheese and red onions. It also had a very nice chili aioli that added great flavor to the burger. I came on another stop for a drink visit shortly after and tried the pork dumplings and popcorn chicken. These were also very good. If I lived in the area, this place would easily be a place I would frequent often. I will most definitely be back!

Every dish was unique and packed with flavor. I am still thinking about that juicy chicken, the rich umami duck wontons, and the heavenly marjolaine. The service completely blew us away. Even with the casual atmosphere, the hospitality felt comparable to some Michelin starred restaurants I have dined at. Plates and utensils were constantly refreshed, water glasses never empty, and every staff member was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The interior is cozy, dimly lit, and full of great energy. Perfect for date night, dinner with friends, or really any occasion. I will be thinking of this meal until my return!

    State of Grace is an upscale restaurant in which the price and decor scream "let's get dressed up,"…read morebut you are in Houston, so a lot of people were in jeans. There were also a lot of families, which was cute, although I personally am not buying my daughter $16 fries. Our waitress was personable and made great suggestions, especially regarding mocktails. This is important for non-drinkers because there are no mocktails on the drink menu, but the bartender will craft something you will like. Even my friend who normally avoids mocktails was very impressed. Apps: Crab Hushpuppies - 10/10: Crunchy, crabby, and came with a fantastic honey butter sauce. Caviar Tater Tots - 6/10: Well done -- they literally whipped the potato on the inside -- but at $37, you are paying more for the caviar, which was missing that fresh, creamy saltiness you normally seek. You also only get 4 tots. I would just get two orders of the crab hushpuppies. Mains: Chicken - 10/10: The truffle sauce was dreamy, and I think they could sell it on the streets. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the dish also came with flaked truffles on top. I normally do not order chicken out, but this dish makes me wonder what I've been missing. Lobster fettuccini - 7/10: I don't think this is the dish to get here. The lobster didn't taste the freshest, and it also didn't have a lot of lobster to begin with. The sauce was well done and clearly made with lobster stock. I would come back, but there are dishes that shine much brighter than others.

Extremely kind service from the hosts through the entire team. The best balance of conversational and storytelling without being overbearing. We never felt rushed and they made the experience feel personal, and felt we truly got to know the restaurant and reasoning behind a few of the dishes just through their excitement. We ordered coffees along with the crab hush puppies, gumbo, avocado toast, and ended with their massive cinnamon roll. It was the perfect spread and everything was so flavorful! (My only critique was I wish the cinnamon roll was warmed up and served with a bit more icing). The interior was fabulous with an amazing aroma. I would highly recommend for anywhere from an intimate date to a group brunch! Beautiful bar as well, I cannot wait to come again another night for dinner. Upon exit, we were also departed with a complimentary cookie - super cute touch!
