    Crab fried rice
    Jennifer N.

    Made a reservation on Open Table and noted that it was our anniversary, so we were gifted a couple of glasses of champagne. We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

    I was influenced. Credence has a really nice aesthetic. I went for my birthday brunch and it was pretty slow because there was a freeze warning . But our service was pretty slow despite that. Our server was nice and polite but not super attentive during a time that seemed pretty slow. The deviled crabs weren't what I expected but were pretty good. Kind of like a non baked crab salad or something topped with a light sauce. I really enjoyed the burger and fries I had. The other things I tried from friends were lacking flavor. The stuffed potatoes weren't seasoned, the stuffed beignet donuts didn't really taste like anything. Overall, the rest of my group wasn't satisfied. There was valet parking and other parking near by. Overall, it was an okay experience. I would consider going back for happy hour and getting the burger again. But we weren't super impressed... So I wouldn't go out of my way.

    Been back again and again and it's still great every time. Must gets - deviled crabs, monkey bread, wild gulf snapper/market fish. Service is always amazing.

    If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Houston, Credence absolutely delivers--across the board. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this wasn't just dinner, it was an experience. The service? A flawless 10/10. Attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in making the night special without ever feeling overbearing. The ambiance carried the perfect balance of upscale and inviting--exactly what you want for a celebration. Now let's talk about the food... because wow. Every dish felt intentional and perfectly executed. The deviled crabs? Chef's kiss--rich, flavorful, and gone way too fast. The half chicken was roasted to perfection--juicy, tender, and beautifully seasoned. And the red snapper? Fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. One of the standout moments of the night was the Marguerite Bar Cart--such an elegant and memorable touch that elevated the entire experience. It added a layer of charm and personalization you don't come across often. We were celebrating a friend's birthday, and the team went above and beyond by surprising him with a signed birthday card. It was such a thoughtful, genuine gesture that made the night feel even more special. 10/10 service. 10/10 experience. 10/10 food. Truly a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful evening. Credence has set the bar--and then raised it.

    One word I would use to describe this restaurant is intentional. From the décor to the food selection, every detail felt thoughtfully curated. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, which enhanced the overall experience. The food was exquisite, made with high-quality ingredients. The flatiron steak was amazing, and the mashed potatoes were just as impressive. The Caesar salad was solid, though the red onions personally threw it off for me a bit. The wine was surprisingly good, even as someone who isn't typically a fan of red. The ambiance was perfectly suited for the birthday dinner I attended, and the portions were generous. Prices reflect the experience you're receiving. The bread is a menu item rather than complimentary, nothing too exciting on its own, but it paired really well with their butter. Overall, I can certainly see why they have earned a Michelin star.

    We came here for drinks after having dinner somewhere else. So we sat on the bar area. This place is well decorated. In the bar areas you have a choice of casual seating that includes chairs and a sofa or traditional bar seating. The service was great. Our server was knowledgeable and was able to recommend drinks that were spot on. The drinks were delicious and they use quality top shelf liquor which is a plus. We will come back another time for dinner so stay tuned for a review of the food and speakeasy!

    Wild Gulf Snapper

    Stoped in for a birthday dinner. The service was stellar. it's such a cute place. They have valet and self parking. Appetizer went really well with the deviled crab and the monkey bread. The fish was as good however my steak came out under. I actually was going to take it and just cook more later but one of the managers was nice enough to make a new one. it's made on a grill so the sear or char you may be looking for wasn't here for me. Two out of three of my sides came out room temp but the flavor was there! The roasted carrots are good! The potatoes are also good. i would still come back to give it another go. Plus, the deviled crab is worth the trek!

    Hearth-roasted whole fish

    Great ambience and good food in the Memorial area! They are focused on making Texas focused foods using live-fire preparations, which makes for great food. Definitely make reservations, because this place gets busy. Here's what we got: Monkey bread - 4/5 - it's buttery bread, so it's tough to not like it, but we honestly expected a bit more from it. It tasted like a basic roll. We got it with the trout roe, which I don't know if it's worth it. Tuna tartare - 5/5 - this was great! I love the crispy rice, and had a spicy kick. Heritage half chicken - 5/5 - very flavorful and juicy. Hearth roasted whole fish - 5/5 - this was delicious! Lemony, garlicky, dill-forward - all my favorite flavors! Wood roasted carrots - 3/5 - these were okay. They were more mushy than I wanted them to be. Overall a great experience and we'll likely be back if we're in the area!

    Pork Chop Schnitzel

    But of a way out beyond the loop, but very happening even on a week night. Service- wonderful. Attentive. Managers came by to check on things which was a good sign. We literally came here this night to try the duck, as my cohorts had already been here before. Alas, they were already out for the night at 7pm. Though disappointed in the news we pivoted and found some alternatives to satisfy us. Drinks- all great all night. Apps- monkey bread with that crack butter. We also used it to sop up the tomato butter on the deviled crabs, which is also a delicious dish packed with lump crab meat. We also got the beet salad for some freshness- which was just fine. I tried the flatiron and we were all impressed with how tender this meat was! The snapper is also very well done, and I might have even enjoyed the blistered beans/snap peas more (they have the Smokey wood fired taste). Pork chop schnitzel another solid dish but not something I could devour alone. The crab fried rice came recommended to us- very garlic forward but also great. Since we didn't get to try the duck they were kind enough to treat us to dessert- so of course we had to try the soufflé. Super light and gone in seconds. Worth stopping by and I was keen to try after the Michelin recs especially. There is free parking in the garage at the back.

    Really enjoyed my time here. We came for my friend's Bachelorette dinner. We got soaked coming in from the garage and the guy gave me a napkin to dry off. My cocktail was good and I like that they let you pick the Spirit for the expresso martini. My pregnant friend said the mocktail she got was one of the best she's had. The monkey bread and deviled crabs are must try apps. I was disappointed because the entree i saw on the online menu and planned on getting was not on the menu when I got there. But the fish we ended up with was good. They also didn't do anything to acknowledge our celebration which I listed on 2 spots on the reservation so that was a little let down. Would definitely return.

    Excellent service by our waiter/host. Attentive, respectful and eager to make anything right if it was not to our liking. The drinks were boozy, and nice. I really enjoyed the deviled crabs, and raw oysters selection. The fried pork chop was delicious and did not come with the basic "apple sauce" as done at other places. The fish was flaky, and juicy. The vegetables could have been cooked less to retain the crunch and colour because the snap peas looked like the life was wrung out off them. Our host/waiter asked very politely if I wanted a redo, but I politely declined. So I appreciated the offer and service! I was very miffed that the chocolate soufflé was not available for lunch because they only serve it for dinner. What a miss!! We will have to come back for it.

    I love going out to eat with a bunch of women because sometimes y'all decide to just order half the menu so you can all try a little bit of everything! We ladies met on a Saturday for brunch. Abby was our server very knowledgeable. She helped us navigate to some of the must tries on the menu. We started with the monkey bread and devil crab boy was that decadent and a real treat. For mains, we had a seizure, salad with shrimp, roasted beef salad, the heritage chicken, country and pimento cheese, grits, and the crab fried rice. Everything shined. The heritage chicken melted in your mouth and cornbread gnocchi was as good as it sounds. I love cheese grits. I like pimento cheese. Mixing the two together unlocked a whole new craving for me! The biscuits were spectacular. Not usually a fan of beet salads, but everything in the salad complemented each other. The Caesar was unique and well done. They only miss for me was the cinnamon roll. I don't like cream cheese icing so I was excited to know this one was a sugar icing, but after taking one bite, I didn't need more. I just didn't do it for me. Other than the cinnamon roll, everything was spectacular. The service, the ambience, great! I can't wait to take my husband back for a date night and to try to the dinner menu!

    Heritage Half-Chicken
    Branson U.

    Amazing experience with even better food! I stopped by on a whim. Thankfully I was able to get a seat at the Chef's bar. Everything here at Credence is Top Tier; from the welcome champagne to everything on their menu! The ambiance is incredible, it is a great place to take your significant other, or your group of friends. I do recommend placing a reservation as the wait time for groups larger than 1 & 2 were close to 45 minutes, stretching to an hour. If you do get a table, you will not be disappointed. I ordered the heritage chicken and it was beyond mouth watering. They have the live grill going right there in front of you so I knew it would be good.

The signature cocktails were definitely mixologist curated, well balanced in flavor and alcohol, the espresso martini made with rum as opposed to vodka was probably one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had and I think they should all be made that way now. I visited on Valentine's evening so we did make reservations but I do believe reservations are a standard regardless of the day. My only disappointment was that you have a two hour table time limit which is fine. The problem came in as it was very apparent that a lot of reservations including ours were booked over a private party so we were, albeit politely, rushed to close out before our allotted time limit to accommodate the party reservation. I'm glad we were able to enjoy a good amount of time here but I really feel bad for the people who arrived after us as I'm sure felt the same pressure to leave as well. With that said I would absolutely visit Aye Candy again.

Me and a friend split the Kebab Land mix that was recommended for 1 person, but it was the perfect amount of food for two people. The shish kebab skewer was super tender and had good flavor and the beef skewer was also tasty, but just a bit tough in my opinion. The chicken was moist and had a good charred flavor. The rice and grilled tomatoes were standard though the homemade bread was a bit thin and bland. Considering the bold flavors from the other elements of the food, the bread did complement it well. (6.5/10) Overall, the food is very comparable to other restaurants that serve this kind of cuisine. I think this place is definitely filling in a gap as there are not many other places in this area that serve this kind of food. If I were craving some kebabs and didn't want to drive too far I would definitely come back here. The owner was also super kind And the service was quick. Something else to note is that they only have bottled water that they charge for but the hot tea is free. The ambiance is super casual and parking is super easy because there are a ton of spots around as it is apart of a huge plaza.
