My Corned Beef Hash hit the spot. The rye bread and potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to the corned beef and, of course, the egg. The portion was generous, I brought my left overs home, re-heated it in a skillet and added an egg since I ate all of the eggs it was served with. It was just as tasty the second time. I also enjoyed the Corpse Reviver cocktail. They showcase their craft cocktails, but there are craft beer and wine offerings as well.

Housed in a renovated home, Graze has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of characters. The place is pretty packed for Friday lunch time. We started with a few appetizers. Shi Tuna Wonton (4.5/5), Foie Gras Meatballs (3/5 - meatballs are good, but the BBQ glaze is a little too sweet for my taste), Fried Brussel Sprouts (3.5/5 - good flavor, but wish they'd been cooked a little crispier). For the main, we both got the Kobe burger and substituted the regular fries with Tikka Masala fries. The burger was excellent, the tikka masala was solid, however the fries were a bit soft from the sauce. For drinks, I wasn't a fan of the Social Butterfly mocktail, but the Jaded & Confused cocktail was very good. Overall, we had a lovely lunch, I can definitely see why it's popular!

I never thought I'd write a Yelp review this short, but there's simply not much to review. We were…read moregreeted and seated at a booth in the bar area on a weekday around 4:00 PM and then waited about 15 minutes for any member of the waitstaff to stop by our table. There were only about 12 patrons sitting at the bar, and our booth was in plain sight, yet no one ever acknowledged us. Since we never received any service, we never had the opportunity to try the food or drinks. Eventually, we decided to leave. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Blue Lion Pub and do not plan to return. With so many other restaurants and pubs in The Woodlands that value their customers' patronage, there's simply no reason for me to waste mine here.

I had previously rated this restaurant a 5 when it was newly opened, but unfortunately after a…read moredisasterous meal this week I have to lower the rating substantially. I would implore the reader to never order anything at this restaurant called "loaded" loaded has come to mean 50% habanero pepper, and I'm serious. we ordered loaded oysters and they were inedibly hot. Horrible little pits of fire. And to get the taste out of my mouth I ordered an order of loaded bread and the loaded bread was also covered with habaneros! I enjoy a little spice, but I am beyond the point in life where I open packets of Taco Bell fire sauce and spray it on my tongue for a dare. That's what eating "loaded" oysters at this restaurant has become. My meal here cause gastric distress which endured for a day. No joke. This was a bad experience. Beware their peculiar habanero pepper fetish. No way.

We entered to a friendly staff who sat us immediately. The vibe is very modern with some Mexican influence. We were with another couple and I think they were under the impression that this would be Tex-Mex, but it is not. For drinks I got a Mezcalina, my wife got a normal margarita normally I don't love Mezcal, but was feeling adventurous and this drink did not disappoint, it exploded with flavor and was my favorite drink I have had here. The bar program might be the best of any restaurant in the area, as it should be since they have a speakeasy as well. In my previous trip they brought us complimentary chips and salsa, but the time they brought Mexican hummus and pita. I was initially disappointed, but this was one of the more unique complimentary dishes I have had, and loved it. For starters, we got the TOSTADA CHUTORO, which was a tostada with raw fish and caviar. There were two, and although smaller bites to share, the flavor once again really shined through. I would say this is similar to a ceviche dish with really fresh fish and bright flavors.

Food was good, but I'm not sure if I could consider anything spectacular enough to justify some of the prices. I decided on the Aguachile Wagyu, which was perfectly cooked and paired with charred herbs. Very enjoyable for a small high-protein meal. My friend ordered Tacos de Filete, which she said were, "okay." We also had a few drinks... They were heavy pours. My only complaint is that the tajin-salt rims were more for decoration (smeared across the side of the glass and not very hygienic) rather than for the palette. Worth mentioning: We were never offered any chips or salsa, although I've read reviews where other patrons enjoyed some before their meal. Our server was friendly, but a bit disconnected.... Maybe that was the biggest problem - - the experience was diminished due to lackluster service.

Sadly I must update my review from 5 stars to 3 stars. Why? Obviously the original chef has left…read moreand the quality of food preparation has declined. As this is basic Spanish food cooking technique is paramount and current chef clearly does not understand/have skills. The gazpacho was recently overly thick and creamy (more bread and olive oil) and was lacking fresh vibrant vegetable flavor. Plus it wasn't as chilled in past (did they originally use a little bit of ice during pureeing? And now stopped). The paella was a total mess. It arrived soupy with a quarter inch of liquid still in bottom of pan. While not "overcooked " to mushy. The rice was well past al dente. Obviously achieving socarrat was impossible. While yellow it was lacking ANY distinct saffron flavor that it used to have. I also did not notice any threads- have they now gone to powdered saffron and cut back on amount too???? The Torta San Sebastian was still "very good" but it's crust was overcooked and gummy. TBH, it really wasn't that bad and normally I wouldn't comment but given above complaints I feel it is part of a trend. We have been coming here about 4X per year. Will still come back to try Tapas, but again their basic Spanish Tapas require a deft cooking technique- so we'll see how those go. Oh well, As George Harrison wrote in 1970 "All Things Must Pass" This is not an uncommon trend in Mom & Pop places - once successful, staff get hired to replace overworked family and quality deteriorates I kept it at 3 stars because food wasn't terrible nor inedible. Just nothing special. Poorly made average American version of European classics. I am also holding out hope that it gets better- I have to believe other regulars have commented (or did they just quietly stop coming? Which is the worse)
