Loved the creme brulee for dessert! Had the Dead Flower to drink and that was probably my favorite mocktail! 5/5 on service as well. Our server had great recommendations for drinks and food. He was also super attentive. 5/5 on ambiance. Was definitely giving an upscale vibe.

If you enjoy decadent food, Credence is the spot! The interior is refined but still welcoming and…read morelively with Southern charm. Service was amazing-- we loved our waiter who was a combination of polite, funny, and knowledgeable, and everyone gave us a smile. All the dishes were beautifully presented and flavorful but definitely on the heavier side. - Beet salad (5/5)-- wow, never had a beet salad like this one before! So much flavor with a tanginess from vinegar sweetened by the blueberries and beets. The beets didn't taste very earthy (aka like dirt) compared to most beet salad. This was really well executed :) - Caesar salad (3.5/5)-- Credence's spin on Caesar, which according to my Caesar salad pro diner, didn't really taste like Caesar salad. Also very tangy and tart but the pro still enjoyed it as a salad dish. - Roasted cabbage (4/5)-- big fan of the way they roasted this, perfect tenderness without being cabbage mush! Definitely a heavy dish, especially for a vegetable option, as it was swimming in a butter cream sauce that started to congeal as it cooled off. Would choose this more as an indulgent appetizer rather than a healthy veggie option. I wonder if one could ask for the sauce on the side... - Tuna tostada (3.5/5)-- if you like strong flavors, this one packs a punch. The gochujang aioli beneath the tuna is really concentrated, making it difficult to taste the actual tuna. There's a bit of heat but thankfully I wouldn't say it was spicy. Fun to try. The tostada itself was very dense and almost a bit bread-y versus a crispy chip texture. - Crab fried rice (4/5)-- comes with lobster foam that is mixed table side and a generous amount of crabmeat lumps. The rice actually had a nice texture without being too... grainy / individualized, but it was too salty for me. - Akaushi Wagyu beef (4.5/5)-- loved the texture which was tender but with some chew (was expecting more of a melt-in-the-mouth texture though) and the veggies that it came with. It was heavily salted, too much so for me. Would've been perfect with less salt since there's already a chimichurri sauce with it. - Peanut butter tart (4.5/5)-- peanut butter lovers rejoice! The chocolate filling was rich, thick, and sweet which was complemented nicely with the whipped cream (not sweet at all). The peanut flavor really shined. The crust didn't have much of a taste by itself and was sandy in texture, not sure if on purpose or over-baked and dried out. Either way, the tart looked impressive when it arrived and was delectable-- my favorite bite of the night! Overall a nice experience! Although there was a mess up and the rest of our two salads and crab rice wasn't packed with our other food to take home; I was pretty sad about that since it was quite a bit of food (and $$). I might return for that peanut butter tart, but everything else was too heavy and too salty for me. I'm personally not a huge butter fan, but if you are, definitely make a reservation for a special occasion or date!

Kaila took care of us and her service was excellent, she was attentive, friendly, and offered some great recommendations. While the menu is somewhat limited, everything we ordered came out hot, fast, and really tasty. Everyone in our group enjoyed their burgers, and I especially loved the Brussels sprouts, shrimp salad, and the crab puffs. Parking can be a bit of a hassle in the area, but there is a parking garage adjacent to the restaurant which makes it manageable. Overall, it was a great birthday dinner and I'll definitely be returning.

The food and service sort of matched....standard but not exceptional.

This experience was awful. The fact that we ordered specifically before seating and the order was…read morestill incorrect. Says slot about attention to detail. We stressed that one of the patrons did not want pork, yet the food came out with pork. When they clearly asked the cashier for beef. In turn the manager took the plate back to "remake it" and after a few bites, what do you know crumbles of pork. ‍ The manager stated she understood when advised several times no pork only beef, yet she brought back and refurbished plate that had not been freshly prepared, but picked over and reheated. This is ridiculous!! Additionally, she argues with the patron that they don't have beef when the menu clearly says they do. Great customer service is ensuring the patron received what they pay for and have a great experience. This service was PURE D Trash!! On the flip side these beignets taste like old grease.

Val Scott Thomas…read more Y'all were a great team! I was invited out for the battle of the bruschettas and I was treated sublimely. It was wonderful. The food is always great so no complaints there but my brave review is definitely the service. There were laughs, and background information on the restaurant, some of the chefs, and servers and it was also very interesting. We tried so many menu items. We had like three or four boards and several brunch items. Of course, I got the cucumber honey lemonade and I made my friend try it too. Lol. Delicious as always. 10 out of 10. However, I will say that the new battle of the board is not Great like I remember. They had super basic flavors and the ones they did experiment with different combinations were actually pretty disgusting. So, after two boards of those, we got our true blue staple favorites on the original menu. That did the trick! I think I've been to this location once or twice but I absolutely will be coming again!

Everyone loved this spot and so did I. I love their steak salad, it is only spinach though so I do like to add romaine or spring mix.

There is a covered outdoor patio, clean indoors and spacious area with lots of seating!

Upon arriving, our server asked us to be seated anywhere. The place was empty. I guess lunch may not be the preferred or busiest meal at the hotel. I am sure most of the inhabitants had just finished their breakfast. The lunch menu was pretty simple. We both ordered a make your own burger. I went with a make your own grilled chicken, while my friend with a make your own burger. I got French fries as my side and kettle cooked chips with the other order. My grilled chicken was amazing. It was grilled to perfection with melted cheese on the breast. It was topped off with lettuce tomatoes onions and mayo. As I was chewing every bite, I was just cherishing the bursting flavor that was coming from the chicken. I also had a bite of the burger which too was amazing. We got it medium well with melted cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and mayo. An absolute delight. Our server, whose name I am forgetting was very attentive and friendly. He kept checking up on us and would refill our drinks in a timely manner. The ambiance and décor was nice too. There were a few TV's and the place was well maintained. The bar section was pretty big too. Considering the quality of food, I definitely see myself returning to this location.

This is a sports bar & grill inside the Holiday Inn. And, although they advertise a business lunch…read morespecial, they really don't seem setup for lunch. We arrived at 11:45 to an empty room. No hostess, no server, no bartender. Eventually a server came out and told us to sit anywhere and brought us menus. They offer a Pick Two lunch with fairly limited choices. And, when asked if they have a drink menu for a small cocktail- we were told they don't have a bartender until the evening. Uhm, ok, but it's a Sports Bar.... The food was average: not bad but not great either. Standard nachos, sliders, pasta, salad or burger choices. I got sliders and my friend got nachos. Both were ok. The $3 iced tea seemed overpriced. Lunch is only $7. There are lots of TVs going which is cool but one had the volume too loud, in my opinion. Made conversation difficult in an otherwise empty place. By the time we left only two other tables had patrons and they all entered with no direction and since we were sitting near the door, asked us where to sit (we just said anywhere). Eventually the server saw them and took them menus. Personally, I'd skip it for lunch and maybe try a Happy Hour when, hopefully, they're staffed. Disappointing since I frequent the area for work once a week.

Lazy Dog was one of my favorite stops during our Houston trip because it was the only restaurant…read morethat gave me my own menu. The patio is huge, comfortable, and very dog friendly. There was plenty of room for pups to spread out, and I saw dogs enjoying themselves both outside and inside the restaurant. It felt like everyone was welcome. Naturally, I ordered from the Pup Menu. I chose the grilled chicken and rice bowl, and I can confidently report that it was excellent. Fresh, simple, and completely disappeared within minutes. The humans seemed happy with their meals too. They ordered a strip steak, salmon, and a salad, and I didn't hear a single complaint from their side of the table. The staff were incredibly friendly and made a point of welcoming me as an actual guest instead of just someone's dog. Between the dedicated dog menu, the spacious patio, and the warm service, it's easy to see why this place is so popular with pet owners. If you're visiting Houston with your dog, Lazy Dog is an easy recommendation. Dogba's verdict: Five paws. Excellent chicken. Outstanding customer service. Finally, a restaurant that knows to hand me a menu first.
