I write and rate this review with mixed feelings of eating in a resturant within a mall (regardless of this being Galleria) but must say the overall experience exceeded expectations. Food = the starters (spinach dip/calamari) was okay but I was most impressed with the braised short rib entree I ordered. The portion size, flavor and tenderness of meat met my approval. Atmosphere= only gripe found the resturant to be too dark. Noted a few tables using cell phone as flashlights in order to read menu. All in all a decent resturant. The location within a mall prevents me from going any higher than 3 stars. read more

Stayed at the Westin Galleria for a week and this was our go-to place for drinks. They have a pretty good wine selection. We also had dinner here one night. The staff was VERY friendly and MORE than accomodating. There were more than 30 of us, but they treated us with grace! Also, we def were on a budget but they totally worked with us so that our group would be able to have dinner there (we work for a non-profit). My friend and I shared the chicken caesar salad and a veggie pasta. The pasta was pretty good, but the SALAD was DANG good! That chicken was TASTY... and it had a LOT of it in the salad. They also had baked cookies and brownies for us! They were yummy too! read more

I was on a business trip, staying at the Westin Galleria and as such, was forced to eat here for breakfast both days (the hotel funnels their guests to this restaurant in the mall, which is the only option for early morning eats). Yeep. Terrible. And expensive. The food is heavy, greasy, and over priced. $14 for a scrambled egg with sausage. $8 for a bowl of oatmeal. Anything fresh and healthy comes separately and you pay a premium. I will say, the coffee was good. The biggest travesty of all though? The music during breakfast. It was that faux-jazz, Kenny G style awfulness that makes you want to stab your eyes out. I nearly did. Between that and the grease soaked Denver Omelet, I did not have the greatest experience. read more

The food here is wonderful and we have eaten here several times. However having to deal with the mall traffic and parking etc. etc. is definitely a headache. But the food is worth it. read more

Huevos rancheros here was amazing! Did not expect good food at a restaurant linked up with a hotel but it was delicious. Clean, good ambiance and excellent service! read more

Eloquently lite, music that time warps you back to the good old 60s live jazz cafe, and greeted by smiles that make you feel you just walked into your mom's house for the holidays. The service was fantastic! Our server was Louis. A fine young lad who was groomed professionally who had pep in his step. Spoke in a soft tone and knew the menu in and out. Asked us a few questions about what we liked to eat and made great recommendations. Our adult beverages came quick and followed by our well cooked food. While Louis attended his other guests, our party was greeted by the Manager Ivette. She presented herself in a cordial manner and inquired about our dinning experience. We explained to her that we were having a great experience and appreciated her checking up on us. The evening went on with our party catching up like an golden girl's reunion. We had everything we needed. Great food, well balanced adult beverages, and an ambiance to allow us enjoy ourselves. Food rating: 5 Stars Overall Experience: 5 Stars read more

I've made it to Daily Grill a few times. This is one of the few places I will eat at if I'm at the Galleria and I get hungry. Well guess what, I was at the Galleria and I happen to be next door at the Apple store getting my 3G iPhone on. Yes I was one of those losers in line for the phone. The restaurant has dark wood and comfortable booths. It's like walking into a restaurant from the 1920's. The Bar area is glassed off and has a nice view of the mall traffic. The food is good and consistent, nothing fancy. My last visit I had the California Turkey Melt, with avocado, turkey, jack cheese and a tomato cranberry chutney which was actually good. The chutney was not what I expected, it worked on the sandwich. I have also had The Cedar Plank Salmon which was good. The Charbroiled Fillet was a little disappointing, I've had better. What gets me about this place is what they charge for a tea and a soda, $2.95. Can you believe this $3.00. I know there's a mark up because of the real estate, but seriously $3.00 for an Ice Tea, soda, or a cup of coffee. I visit Daily Grill because it's convenient, if you happen to be in the mall and because the big selection on the menu. read more

I really would like to give this restaurant more stars. The food is really good, and once you're inside the dark wood paneled walls you forget you're eating in a Galleria mall storefront. But the Daily Grill is part of the Westin and with it comes the Westin markup. I dropped $20 on an omelet and iced tea for breakfast. I've dropped more that that on a sandwich and soda for lunch. Dinner is very nice, but very expensive, and what you're getting doesn't measure up to the price for what is essentially a glorified hotel coffee shop that in this case is inside a mall. If they cut their prices I would feel a whole lot better on the way out the door. read more

This place has pretty good food. It's located within a very random spot in the Galleria, which seems odd. However, if you aren't by the food court and don't feel like eating at Ninfas (relatively in the same area as this place) then this is really your only food option. It's an upscale grill with a pricey menu. I get their pot pie and nearly have a heart attack when I pay for it (over $15). On the other hand, the pot pie is beyond anything I've ever had before. It is huge, has a flaky crust, a creamy center, and practically the best thing your taste buds have ever tasted. I know I've tried other menu items over the past few years that were pretty good too, but I can't remember what they were. Something else interesting about this restaurant is that it is part of the Westin Galleria. Many of the customers are not from Houston, which makes conversations interesting. read more

The food is decent, but dessert is amazing. After all, dessert should be eaten first anyway, right? I come here for the chocolate cake. Topped with a dollop of REAL whipped cream, not that fake stuff or that stuff from the can. It reminded me of a grown up ding dong, but 1000 times better. I am not a big frosting fan, but I eat every little bit of this cake. I probably would lick my plate if no one were watching me. One slice is a tower of dark chocolate cake layers, frosted with dark chocolate frosting. The cake is so moist and rich and the frosting is bittersweet. This is deliriously good cake. Once I finish my piece, I reach out and start eating off of my husband's piece. After all, aren't we supposed to share everything?? This cake almost makes a trip to the Galleria worth it. I just wish there were other locations! read more

I really like this place and if it wasn't tucked in the Galleria I'd probably eat there on a more regular basis. Everything I've had there is great! Including the service! It's usually not busy and you can stop and have a drink while you're shopping! Who is going to argue with that? I've tried the meatloaf, the plank steak (which is essentially a glorified hamburger that looks like a steak, but it was very well seasoned and moist), a salad of some sort involving seared tuna and the calamari. All good! No complaints about any of it! Next time you're shopping, stop in and try it! Jessica approved! read more

The Daily Grill is okay not bad but not great. The food is average but you can get in and out in a decent time with a decent quality meal. I typically have a burger or the turkey sandwich salad combo. Both are good but light on the fires with the burger and most times served cold. read more

I remember when they first opened up (pre smoking ban) - this place reeked of ciggs. Fast forward a few years later...this place still reeks...but this time...of blah food. A pal of mine and I came here for a quick dinner after some late night weekday shopping. We noticed immediately that the menu was rather pricey. Just to give you an example....we decided to split a salad and still ended up spending $11 each after tip (with just 1 so-so salad)! Everything on the menu is rather heavy, but nothing seemed to really hit the spot. When looking through the salad options....they all pretty much sounded the same with the exception of the standard caesar, and some gorgonzola, pecan endive option. So we went with one of the cobb / blue cheese varieties (I kid you not, there were about 4 of these salads on the menu - not sure what's going on with that). The salad was chopped the way I like it, but as far as wow factor - there was none. I don't plan on coming back. If I want to spend $20+ on a meal at the Galleria, I'd happily go to GiGi's. I will say that the service was great, and the bread they give you to nosh on was even better. So Daily Grill, isn't SO bad... read more

I've always enjoyed myself coming here! There is never a dissapointment when it comes to food! We always opt to sit ata table infront of the bar, that way tv is right in front! Lemonade is fresh daily, always ask for new drinks! The Acai sourwarhead is the new thing! Hmmm! So back to the food I ordered the talapia which was incredibly fresh w/ spinach and mashed tators. Soooo good! We also had the potpie.... I can still taste it! We always seem to get this dish no matter how hungry we r! It's scrumptious! Carrots mushrooms chicken smothered in gravy and covered in pastry baked to perfection! U can't help but dig in as soon as it hits the table! (even if it wasn't ur order) OOOPS! read more

Came here as a party of one while in town for a Seminar. Loved it! Service was prompt and friendly; they even made sure I could catch my favorite team from Florida on College game day!;) I ordered Tuna Sashimi served with fried spinach, both of which were fresh and delicious. Definitely a repeat next time I'm in the area. Thank you Daily Grill!! read more

I really had high hopes from the reviews but I got the Gazpacho soup and it tasted like water no flavor what so ever and the lemonade was not homemade it was too sweet and my boyfriend ordered the parmesan herb crusted chicken which was salty. I recommend The cheesecake factory. They have a large variety of dishes to choose from. read more

The service here is great. It almost reminds you of an upscale diner. Food was fresh and hot. We order mostly appetizers as we didn't want anything too heavy on our tummy 's while we continued to shop after. The only downside was the fire alarm continuously went off, though the manager comforted us by telling us it would go off shortly- which didn't happen before we left 20 min later. read more

Daily Grill - What's left of the bread. Yum - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Daily Grill is the official restaurant of the Westin Oaks at the Galleria. The advantage to this is the they open at 6:30am daily so if you have an early morning meeting at the Galleria this works out perfectly. I ended up checking out Daily Grill before a 9am meeting. I took a stroll around the Galleria and there are honestly no other restaurants open that early so this is one of your only options. My breakfast ended up being fine. I ordered the Eggs Benedict which was served on an English muffin with a side of smoked bacon. The eggs were poached nicely but I was not a huge fan of the Homemade Hollandaise sauce. It was extremely rich so I ended up pushing most of it off to the side. Eggs Benedict is my favorite breakfast classic so I end up trying it everywhere and I must say I have had much better versions of this. I did like that they provided the option of getting fresh fruit as a side instead of potatoes. The fruit was a nice start to my morning. Overall, my experience was average. I was looking for breakfast and I did end up finding it at Daily Grill so for me: mission accomplished! read more

I came for a weekend breakfast. Pretty basic selection of your American selections from pancakes to eggs. Food was solid though and surprisingly fresh and large entrees. The Spanish scramble had a fantastic jalapeño which provided a mean spice. The egg white omelette was healthy and filling with added ingredients at $0.50 each. Coffee was average but bottomless. Sausage was pretty and and reminded me of McDonald's. Prices knocked my review down. Easily over $15 per entree and each additional side or filling added on more. Coffee was just under $4 as well. The meal was about $50 total but honestly tasted good. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but if you have money and want a solid breakfast regeneration be my guest. read more

Just awful: Poorly cooked, poorly concieved dishes served haphazardly in a raucous environment overwhelmed by jackasses. I guess it makes sense as it is, at a very high level, similar in concept to the Capital Grille, which is a fantastic restaurant and is close enough to this place and price point that, if you had any sense, you'd go there instead. I'm ashamed to admit that I've eaten here quite a few times because I stay at the Westin quite frequently. I have yet to have a dish that has been cooked correctly. Whoever the cook is, s/he is one of the worst cooks on the planet and clearly does not care at all about his/ her job. If you do make the terrible mistake of eating here, order whatever meat you're getting raw, otherwise it will be cooked until it is jerky. The fries are so salty that the american heart ass'n should picket this place. The dishes are also poorly conceived, being grotesque in size and overwhelmed with bacon, cheese or other ingredients. Case in point: The angel hair pasta with shrimp is BURIED under a huge glob of tomato sauce. Its just gross. The people that typify the crowd take the cake. Every time, a majority of patrons are yelling at the top of their lungs, each thinking that whatever crass joke s/he is making is the most important and funny joke the world has ever heard. The only joke is you and that you're eating here. read more

Happy Hour ONLY- The ambient is very low key, dimmed lights, chilled place that gets filled very quick. I ordered the Moscow Mule ($10) which was pretty tasty. I came here with a party of 6 and unfortunately couldn't find a table so we had to sit at the bar which made it difficult to converse with everyone. The service was good but, every now and then you had to get the bartenders attention. This is perfect if you want to come here with your significant other. read more

I love this place! I wish they had more daily grills in Houston! Sometimes I drive to Galleria just to have their Blackened Tilapia! It is just perfect! They have other great dishes but I just can't order something different since I tried the tilapia. I already had their steak, their pasta before and they are all awesome! read more

Initial Service was slow, but it was lunch time and they were very busy. Our drinks were kept topped off during our meal. Why 3 stars? 1. Sourdough bread was slightly charred and crust was hard and tough to chew. 2. Got the shrimp pomodoro. Very tasty and low calories. Small portion with a hefty price. Almost $19. The cook charred 2 of the shrimp. Edible but expect better for these prices. Food wasn't bad but expected more. read more

Easting here was a bad experience. The server did not know the drinks or daily specials and it took 3 attempts, over 20 minutes to get a drink and water. Then the drink was really bad --advertised as their signature. I ordered a burger which was served overcooked and with the wrong side--And it was tasteless. I've had better burgers at McDonalds which doesn't say much. We had a group of 4 with a bill of over $40.00 per person and honestly, it didn't come close to being worth it. Don't waste your time or money. Cheeper to eat at Cheesecake Factory and it's far better. read more

Daily Grill is the best. The best service, great hospitality, amazing food, all in once! My boyfriend and I are going there at least twice every week. I eat their amazing burger and he loves their NY strip. They have the beat short rib and chicken pot pie in the town. We love this place, we love the people there. Thank you all for making this place great. Highly recommended read more

This seems to be pretty hit or miss. I dined here a few times on a recent trip since it was close to my hotel and they had the best hours. The waitstaff was always attentive and personable. The food was just okay. There was nothing that was amazing, but nothing that was so terrible I had to return it. It wouldn't be high up on my list of places to return to but the proximity to my hotel was a bonus. read more

I wanted a good salad on Monday so I decided to give Daily Grill a shot for lunch. I'd never been but I've heard both good and bad things so I thought... why not go in and make my own opinion. Upon arriving around 11am I was seated promptly. The restaurant seems fairly empty, but that was ok. I knew it was early for lunch and I was one of the first to arrive. I was only at my table a short time before the server came and asked me my drink order. After looking over the menu, I nixed the salad idea and went with the fish tacos on the light menu. I am NOT on a diet... they just sounded good. =) The wait wasn't that long at all before my tacos arrived. The fish used was Mahi Mahi and it looked to be grilled. I cannot be 100% sure because I didn't ask. It was served with refried black beans and Spanish rice. I have to admit that the beans and rice didn't look that appetizing so I was skeptical to try it. The fish tacos were served with slaw and some kind of spicy sauce wrapped in corn tortillas. They were a bit on the small side... but they were on the light menu, so I am sure that had something to do with it. The tacos were delicious!!! Some of the best I have ever had. The fish was cooked perfectly, the slaw offered the perfect crunch, and the sauce had the perfect spice... not too much but just enough to let you know that it was there. To my surprise... the beans and rice weren't that bad either. The beans had a smoky flavor that I couldn't put my finger on... but it went with the beans well. My meal ended up being almost $20 and I do believe that is a little much to pay for lunch so I will not make Daily Grill a regular stop, but if I get a cravin' for some good fish tacos, I now know where to go. =) read more

The best place to go for food, fun, and service! I've known the manager, Louis, for over 2 years and it's a breath of fresh air to know that I can always get the best experience when I go to the Daily Grill. Their live music is great as well. read more

Came here for lunch, the servers were attentive and quick. The food however was not worth the price. I had a grill shrimp pomodoro. The sauce was pretty sour. I get that it's tomato based but it should be less sour than it was. I rather spend that kind of money somewhere else. $17 for a small plate of pasta. Eh. read more

Open inside the galleria mall, what most people don't know is that its the Westin hotel restaurant which is why its on the expensive side. The food is good, nothing amazing though. The staff are nice, however the waiter we got didn't seem to know a lot of details about the menu, had to keep asking the kitchen, nevertheless he was nice. read more
