    Spinach dip with crab
    Jared E.

    This is a great place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or to just hang with friends, your partner, or by yourself at the bar. The decor is amazing, the music is a mix between R&B, Hip-Hop, and Afrobeats. Our server was friendly and very attentive. She checked on us the right amount of time. Our food came out pretty quickly too, so no complaints there. I would recommend coming out and checking this place out. Heat of the moment: 10/10.. perfectly spicy and perfectly balanced. It is not sweet nor bitter. This drink is perfectly in the middle. Spicy peach wings: 10/10.. I got them breaded and every bite was full of flavor. It was not too sweet and not too spicy. I highly recommend getting these. Brussels sprouts: 8/10.. They were good but nothing truly wowing about them. The sauce is what makes them great and it does have bits of bacon. Spinach dip with crab: 8/10.. this dip was amazing... except for the crab.. the crab meat was not good and tasted too much like the ocean. Crab is supposed to have a slight sweet taste to it. It's probably because I lived in Maryland and know how crab is supposed to taste. Texas got crawfish on lock but crab... eh.. I say get the regular spinach dip.

    The boy.

    I'm giving this a 5 star review strictly off of vibes. The ambience is enough to get you through the door and make you come over and over again. It's almost like a hidden gem that almost everyone already knows about. Me and my son went on a brunch date and had an amazing time. The ladies are gorgeous, the atmosphere is exquisite, and the aroma makes you feel like you're on a mini vacation. The food is cool. lol but this is a place you go to live life. You take your friends here to impress them. This is nothing g but vibes all around. From the moment you get out of the car and step onto the elevator even if you park on the same floor you have to watch those doors open up and step into a new world. Straight vibes. The service is amazing as well. I had the pleasure of being served by an angel with the most beautiful face by the name of Jordyn. And I watched all the views go by as we sat outside on the patio in amusement. Yes, I did eat. lol but like I said the food was definitely overshadowed by the vibes. Can't wait to go back solely because of that.

    Made reservations for my birthday dinner with friends on a Saturday night. I really liked that they had later reservations as I was busy that day. I came in to the restaurant right on time and still had to wait about 50 minutes to get seated. Our waitress was really great but I'm sorry I don't see the hype about this establishment. Everything is over priced 20-25 dollars for a cocktail is absolutely ridiculous. At the end of the night, my friends asked if they do anything for birthdays and we were told you have to order a dessert and they'll put a sparkler on it. I definitely will never come back here!

    Lychee Martini -10/10!

    Ambiance: 10/10! Beautiful and insta-worthy decor. Flowers everywhere. Definitely a vibe! Drinks: I only tried the Lychee Martini which was a 10/10! Very delicious and not super sweet. It came as a recommendation from our server and she mentioned they were $1 that night (Thursdays -with purchase of an appetizer). Friends ordered other drinks before I arrived and they struggled to finish them noting they were just okay. Everyone loved the Lychee martinis and I ordered a 2nd round for the table! Food: meh 5/10. This is the average of everyone at the table. I ordered Brussels since I figured that was safe and I love them. Well they were edible but barely. Give them a 4/10. Lemon pepper wings 2/10 (friend only at one and left them. She said they were too sour). Shrimp kabobs and rice 5/10 (friend said rice tasted old like it was cooked in a pot that was sitting out for days with dishwashing liquid still lingering). Chicken Alfredo 6.5/10. Hookah: I don't smoke but everyone loved the hookah and said they'd come here just for the hookah and ambiance. Service: 8/10 server was attentive and had a great attitude. We were low maintenance this night and didn't ask or need for much. Drinks and food came out quickly!

    The food was good, customer service, not so much. We sat for about 30 minutes before actually being serviced. Eventually the manager got involved and was super nice, as was the new waitress we got. I am still not sure how we were overlooked, but they made up for it. The actual restaurant is beautiful the moment you walk in. The champagne on entry is also a very nice touch. I will be back.

    Beautiful aesthetics right out the gate. Period. From the moment you walk in, the vibe grabs you and refuses to let go. This is one of those places that feels like a whole experience, not just a night out. No matter the occasion or celebration, it's giving memorable. I booked Confessions HTX for my 47th birthday and listen... they did not disappoint. Not even a little. We had two hostesses, Shay and Shay, yes both Shay, and they were on it. Prompt. Personable. Friendly. Attentive without hovering. That balance is rare and they nailed it. Honestly, every staff member we interacted with was accommodating, polite, and just genuinely pleasant. Now let's talk hookah. We did the Confessions custom hookah experience and whew... that is a MUST. Non negotiable. Smooth, flavorful, and worth every penny. Next time I might dip into the ice bar because curiosity is real. Food. Let's get into it. The wings deserve their own paragraph. Blueberry wings. COME THROUGH. Shockingly good. Like, why are these this good. The strawberry wings also hit, and the wet lemon pepper? Chile... nothing but goodness was spoken there. I ordered the blackened salmon. It wasn't super blackened, but it was still flavorful and paired perfectly with the whipped mashed potatoes. Comfort with a little razzle dazzle. Birthday love was flowing. Shots for the table, then Shay surprised me with a complimentary shot on the house. As if that wasn't enough, don't forget the glass of champagne they hand you at check in. Top tier. That small touch sets the tone immediately. Overall? A great experience. Beautiful ambiance. Amazing photo ops. Attentive service. Solid food. Thoughtful touches. What a time. Confessions HTX understood the assignment and executed it with style. I'll absolutely be back.

    Here for the $1 lychee martinis!! Thursday night special with the purchase of an entree. We started at the bar with Sherri their amazing bartender!! All the drinks were top tier After moving to a table Chase took great care of us. All the girls enjoyed their food. Amongst the table we had the hot honey chicken, lemon pepper wings, fries , shrimp kabobs , and brussel sprouts. Drink wise of course the lychee martinis, lemon drops, espresso martinis, side chick and 21 confessions. The DJ was good keeping the vibes up all night Rice was a little undercooked and it took a while to get the hookah coals replaced. Overall a great experience so still a 5

    First time and def not our last... we had a time here last week. I miss the lamb chops already LOL. Even the yams and greens were good! We thoroughly enjoyed the music and the food. It's so popular that I recommend you rsvp or join the waitlist. The only thing they lack is better service and communication. I wasn't sure if it's because they were understaffed or the person serving us wasn't having the best of days but even at the front they weren't communicating well and I think in order for it to run smooth, everybody needs to be on the same page. I did appreciate that there was a valet service and if you choose not to valet, the restaurant will definitely validate your ticket.

    Mac n cheese
    Geysi J.

    Customer service, decor and music was on point. Like the parking situation and how we are greeted at the door. Drinks were enjoyable, the location is a whole vibe. Food was okay. Definitely not what I expected for the wings but the lamb chops were good and their fries.

    Champagne upon arrival, nice touch.
    Tenetria W.

    I made a reservation here to celebrate a friend's birthday after seeing it described as an "upscale" spot. The prices definitely support that aesthetic. When you check in, they greet you with a glass of champagne, which I loved (especially as a champagne lover!). The place was packed, almost to the point of chaos. A note: there's a time limit on tables, so that's worth knowing before you go. This is 100% an Instagram/TikTok vibe restaurant. The decor is photo ready, the crowd is lively, and the music is very loud. Loud to the point where it's hard to have a conversation. Hookah is available if that's your thing. I ordered the salmon, and my friend went with the fried chicken. Both were just okay. Not bad, but not memorable either, and we didn't end up finishing our meals. Overall, it's a fun spot to check out once for the vibe and photos, but not somewhere I'd rush back to.

    So, just like many other restaurants in Houston, this is a gorgeously beautiful space. Great for pictures and videos. But, the food is just decent. We had many of the appetizers for our event at Texas Young Professionals in the private room. And they were...fine. (They were immensely better than the food from Se7en, so that is a step in the right direction!) When we walked in, I noticed that the staff seemed a bit awkward, apprehensive, and hesitant. It was...quite a unique experience. Lol. However, one hostess walked me to the private room and I met my party. Afterwards, I wanted to take pictures and videos so I left the private area in which we were located. The servers in the main area was just standing around talking to each other along the sides of the walls. Candidly, it was a really weirdly uncomfortable atmosphere. Another thing, I took my nieces to the networking event because I had to take them somewhere afterwards, and I really did not like that they had hooka smoke pretty much eeeeeeverywhere along the bar area. I had to explain to my nieces what it was and it was a conversation I didn't plan on having. To say that I would come back is a bit premature, but I would like to try some of the other food items just to be sure!

    Strawberry wings
    Christina A.

    Most enjoyable experience I had in a longggggg time in houston. My husband and I came in the daytime because we don't like the night time ruckus First they validate your parking 2 hrs! You're met with champagne at the door Ambiance is beautiful . Great for those photo ops! Appetizer: strawberry wings 8/10 delicious the strawberry glaze wasn't overwhelming or super sweet Main: lamb chops: 8/10 delicious seasoned perfectly Side: Mac and cheese 2/10 it was a miss it wasn't bad just regular Brussel sprouts : 10/10 DELICIOUS! Full of flavor cook to perfection Dessert: bisccof cheesecake 8/10 delicious Honestly the only hiccup was we waited 30 mins for a sever but we called someone over and he served us the whole time and was great Also tip is included!!

    Kehmia T.

    Came for drinks and hookah and stayed for the vibes! Service was great. What ever drink you get is great. I will say they're supposed to offer you a complimentary glass of sparkling wine when you walk in but the hostess didn't even bother. Shoutout to our server who ensured we got one. We ordered a hookah - Love 66. I feel like i haven't been to a place in Houston that can do love 66 right but confessions did a good job! I didn't get to eat but based off service (server not hostess) alone I'll definitely be back.

I ate at Norigami Tuesday night and it was great as were the cocktails served up at the nextdoor bar called Hidden Bar.

Next, I had the Three Dots and a Daiquiri ($13) with Rum, Lime, Velvet Falernum, All Spice and Pineapple and it was very similar to one of my favorite tiki drinks, the Three Dots and a Dash, complete with 3 luxardo cherries. To finish, I had the absolutely incredible Golden Laurel ($16) with Gin, Italicus Bergamot, House Greek Botanical Bitters and Sea Salt. It is equally beautiful served with a clear bay leaf and delicious. Last night, I was guided by the friendly bartender to try the Et Tu Banana" ($15) with Banana Bourbon, Spiced Pear, Creme de Banane, Campari and Citric Acid. I was a little worried about the cocktail being overly banana-y but it wasn't at all. It was a fantastic drink. For my last call, he recommended the Left Hand ($13) with Bourbon, Campari, Sweet Vermouth and Chocolate Bitters. Again, fantastic. Both nights, the bartenders and drinks were fantastic.

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!

The wraps were fine, the desserts decent, and the drinks did their job. It all felt... acceptable. Like the kitchen understood the assignment but didn't fully commit to it. What stood out most was the contrast the menu is ambitious, the atmosphere pulls you in, but the food doesn't quite translate that same energy to the plate. It's the kind of place you want to love more than you actually do. That said, it's still a solid spot to check out, especially for the vibe and the experience. Just don't walk in expecting fireworks think more along the lines of a slow burn. Overall, I'd call it a decent restaurant that leans more on its aesthetic than its execution.

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back. Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service, this place really gets it right.

It's a little small inside and a small parking lot, but if you're lucky and can walk there, do! The quality of the drinks are really excellent and the burgers have been voted some of the best in town! I can't speak for them, but the drinks and the spot, are phenomenal. They have bingo nights, dj nights, and other themed events that keep the place packed out. Maybe once I try the burgers, it'll be 5 stars, but the smallll parking lot and lack of safe street parking keep me at 4.

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. Definitely one of the more unique, fun spots of the Montrose/Upper Kirby area.

I asked for hot sauce and was charged for it. The server also brought a mayo-based sauce I never requested and charged me for that too. There was no mention that sauces cost extra. To top it off, they brought the birthday guest a tiny slice of cake and charged him $10 for it. After bringing in a large group that spent hundreds of dollars, it seemed like a poor way to treat customers. The food was solid, but the service and surprise charges left a bad impression.
