    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!!!!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Cannot say enough good things about this place. Have had lunch here and now dinner. We first…read morevisited in The Woodlands. Such a good experience that we went last night for date night. First, we got there pretty early for our reservation. We sat almost immediately upon check in. Our waiter was in training but did a really good job. Ordered a whiskey sour. Was seated at the bar so I got to watch it be made. The bartender- man that guy never stopped. He was organized and just did his thing. So many pretty drinks were made while I was there watching. The pink one, whatever it was, was really pretty! On to the food. We got two apps, two meals, and two desserts. Husband ordered the Brussels, Steak Frites, and the Devil's Affogato. I got the Bacon covered Dates, the Pizza, and the Sticky Toffee Cake. The Brussels were good - husband liked them more than me. They were good. Had cashews in them. Little spicy. The bacon covered dates. Think this was my favorite bite. Sweet, salty, creamy. Came we three & I had two. The pizza was sweet and salty as well. The crust was so good and fresh. The arugula set it off so well. Def a buy again! The Steak Frites was so good. The chimichurri sauce was perfect. Just the right mount of citrus. Steak was tender and the fries seasoned well. The desserts - don't skip them! The Devils Affogato we had the first time we ate at Sixty Vines. Had to have it again. If you like coffee, chocolate and vanilla ice cream just get it. Restaurant vibe is relaxed and clean. There were several large parties and what looked like a lot of date night guests. Just try it. No regrets!!

    This was my second time dining here, and given the overwhelmingly positive reviews, my expectations…read morewere higher than usual. Unfortunately, just like my first visit, they were not fully met. We had reservations for brunch, and our party of six was seated immediately on the beautiful second floor. Service was efficient throughout the meal, with our waiter taking our orders promptly and the food arriving quickly. To start, we ordered the Brussels and the hummus. The Brussels were cooked very well and had an excellent crispy texture, but I felt the kung pao vinaigrette lacked the bold flavor I was expecting. A little more sweetness and acidity would have helped brighten the dish and make it more memorable. The hummus, on the other hand, pleasantly surprised me. Both the red beet hummus and edamame hummus were flavorful and enjoyable. They paired well with the crisp flatbread and even served as a nice accompaniment to some of our less exciting entrées. For my meal, I ordered the marinated artichoke pizza, which unfortunately did not stand out. I had the same issue that I experienced during my previous visit: the crust was simply too thick and chewy. After a few slices, my jaw was genuinely getting tired from all the chewing. The pizza also could have benefited from more bacon and a more generous amount of sauce, as it came across a bit dry overall. The campanelle suffered from a similar problem. While I understand that simplicity was likely the goal, the dish was so understated that it ended up feeling bland. It tasted like a slightly elevated version of buttered pasta with just a hint of white wine. There was nothing particularly wrong with it, but it lacked the depth of flavor needed to make it memorable. On a much more positive note, the carrot cake pancakes were easily the star of the meal. I tend to gravitate toward savory breakfasts, but my sister was eager to try them, and I am so glad she did. These were not your typical pancakes. They were thick, fluffy, and incredibly soft in the center. With toppings like maple butter, maple cream, mascarpone whip, candied walnuts, and cardamom sugar, I expected the dish to be overwhelmingly sweet. Surprisingly, everything was balanced quite well. While I cannot imagine finishing an entire plate by myself, anyone with a sweet tooth would absolutely love them. Overall, this restaurant continues to impress me with its atmosphere, service, and a few standout dishes, but the entrées I have tried have not lived up to the hype. If I were to return, I would happily order the hummus and carrot cake pancakes again, but I would probably skip the pizza and pasta in favor of trying something new.

    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.

    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.

Outside has fans and is covered. They can get pretty full so it's best to have a reservation through open table. I've tried and enjoyed both the bubbly and margarita flights.

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!

    Is this the most overrated restaurant in Houston?…read more After being on my "To Try" list for an unacceptable amount of time, I finally made my way over to Nancy's Hustle. I was lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar with no reservation. I arrived about 30 minutes into open and there was already a wait list. I suggest getting there early or making a reservation if you're not a solo diner. The interior is nice and intimate, with low lighting that doesn't work well for photos but definitely for a cozy dinner. The set up and music reminded me a little bit of 93 Til due to the decor. I started with the duck dumplings and the Nancy cakes. I wasn't expecting it but they offer half orders which is great for a solo diner who wants to try multiple things. Both items were delicious. The dumplings had a nice savory sauce with some texture from the peanuts. These were great but probably my bottom of the list which is saying something. I would only say this because they reminded me a lot of the hot oil wontons from duck and bao so at that price point, you might as well get more. The Nancy cakes were pillowy and savory and made a great vessel for honey butter and roe. I even used a bit to dunk into the leftover dumpling sauce. I suggest eating these as soon as they hit your table. I was trying to savor my bites but the cakes benefit a lot from being nice and hot. It's not the most ground breaking dish in the world but it's done well and I would definitely call it a must order. I could have eating a full order of it alone. My main dishes is where my mind was blown. I went with the roast chicken and half order of the gem lettuce salad and fries. This might be the best roast chicken I've ever had in Houston. Chicken can be a hit or a miss because sometimes, there just isn't much flavor. This was absolutely not the case here. The chicken was juicy and seasoned to the core. It even heated up well as left overs without being dry. The chili sauce on the bottom was flavor intensified and as I swiped my chicken through the pools of sauce, I thought to myself "overrated where?!". The gem salad caught me by surprise. I'm not one to stay away from a salad at a restaurant because they typically do them better than you can make at home . Nancy's Hustle solidified this opinion. The salad was wonderfully briney and savory. The lettuce was crisp and covered in the herby shallot dressing that grabbed my taste buds. Topped with anchovies and pancetta for a nice salty touch. So so good. The fries were the perfect side, crisp and not too potatoey (yes this is a thing). I traded in the aoli for some ketchup because that's just my thing. I concluded this wonderful dining experience with a dessert. Buttermilk ice cream with cornflakes, black berries and honey butter cookie. This dessert was a lesson in balance. Every component was present , sweet, salty, crunchy, cool. Each bite had something new to offer and combined into a perfectly executed dessert. As a cocktail, I tried their tropical drink. I don't remember what it was called but I know I could have drank about 7 of those. This was a great dining experience. I think when things get popular, sometimes we feel the need to be contrarians with our experiences. That wasn't the case for me. Nancy's Hustle has earned its popularity and I'll definitely be back

We got seated out in the patio and they have fans they can bring to the table if it gets too hot in this Houston heat but, the vibes were perfect for date night once the sun went down and the small table lamp turned on.

The front hostess, Annabella, was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel valued from the start. Our waiter was equally amazing and attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring we had a wonderful evening. We started with the deviled eggs and crab beignets, both of which were absolutely delicious. Their French onion soup was hearty. Drinks were fabulous too. For our meal, we ordered the mashed potatoes, cacio e pepe, pork schnitzel, blackened fish, miso fish, and burger, and every dish was perfectly prepared and packed with flavor. The restaurant went above and beyond by surprising my mother-in-law with a birthday dessert (upon my request when I had originally booked it), which was such a thoughtful touch and made the celebration even more memorable. We also enjoyed the pecan ball and chocolate soufflé, and both were outstanding. Between the incredible food, impeccable service, and special attention to our celebration, State of Grace exceeded all expectations. Annabella, our waiter, and the entire staff made the evening feel truly special. Easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in Houston, and we can't wait to return!

The restaurant is connected to one of the main parking garages. The first two hours are free which is convenient. It has a more casual feel because of the counter service setup. I like that they have a large menu. We visited on a Sunday afternoon which meant we had the option to order from the brunch menu. The dining area is a good size and they also have a nice patio which is where we sat. The staff was nice, but they were slow at times. The biggest issue was with the food. I ordered the Chicken Tenders which came with Fries and Honey Slaw. I also ordered a side of Broccoli. The Fries and Broccoli were cold while the Cole Slaw was too salty for my taste preference. The Chicken Tenders and dipping sauces (Cayenne Ranch and Honey Mustard) were tasty. One of my dining companions sent some of her food back because it was also served cold. One of the employees was going to reheat her food, and she had to ask for a new order to be brought out (which they reluctantly did). For my beverage I had the Blueberry Spritz which is a mocktail. It was very good and refreshing, but took quite a while to be brought to the table. The staff was nice enough to grab extra napkins and utensils for us when we asked which was very nice of them to do. Maybe it was just an off day for the staff and hopefully they have fixed the issue with serving cold food that is meant to be served hot. I'll wait a little while longer before returning.
