    Pamplemousse
    A R.

    Stayed here the first week of April 2025 for the Houston BBQ Festival. We didn't plan on eating at the restaurant that's inside the hotel (on floor #2) but it was storming pretty hard. We had the coolest bartender named Adam that made us feel very welcome and he was actually happy we were there. This was both our very first Houston experience food and stay wise. Such a cool little spot that didn't make you feel rushed or uncomfortable. The food and drinks at Edgar's Hermano was amazing. Everything we ate and drank were all delicious. My favorite was the Pamplemousse cocktail, and the Chicken Enchilada Soup. We took a chance on the hotel and the restaurant and I'm so glad the weather was bad otherwise we probably wouldn't have ever tried it. Highly recommend for food and drinks! Great portions and great tasting! Adam is a great asset and makes delicious drinks! Remember to always tip your bartenders and waitstaff!!!

    Edgar's Hermano is inside the White Hall hotel. It's a quick lunch or dinner! The only thing I don't like is that you have to order at the bar and then go sit down lol when is very spoiled of me, because I like to be seated and then have my order taken. But, that being said, I've had a burger here before it was decent, fries are always good, but the bbq bourbon chicken is where it's at!

    Alfredo pasta with grilled chicken and mushrooms.  Sampler tray.

    The food here is delicious. Their Alfredo pasta with grilled chicken has tasty sauce along with pasta, and mushrooms. Service here is impressive. They kept checking on me. First asked me if everything tasted well. Then checked if I needed anything. The restaurant area and seating is very good. Totally recommend.

    Steak Nachos

    While staying at the White Hall hotel I really enjoyed Edgar's Hermano! It's a very cute restaurant! I went for bar food where I got the steak nachos and a strawberry margarita and went back for brunch for the steak break fajitas. Everything was excellent! They make it extremely confident where you can sit in and eat or take the food directly to go! Great place to come by when in the city!

    Snapper Monterey

    Stayed at this hotel for a business trip. Due to weather we stayed in and enjoyed a work lunch at Edgar's. Many stars and kudos for accommodating 30ish ppl! They took our order and drinks in an organized fashion. Ofc it took time to get all our orders but everyone seemed pleased. The staff was attentive and gave plenty of refills and even third servings of drinks. I enjoyed my snapper. The sauce was good. My team member did not enjoy her tulum chicken she said the peppers weren't good (she did come for breakfast here and said she enjoyed that better) My other team member enjoyed her soup as she finished it. What I believe is the veg pita I did not hear complaints but she did not finish the plate. The restaurant was cold, not sure if the air was ever adjusted per our group's request or just hard to combat due to the extreme cold weather in Houston today. It was nicely decorated without being too much or a lack luster. Super accommodating they even lowered the music for us to be able to hear one another. They offer room service meals as well.

    Blackened Snapper

    Hanging out here at the bar for the Super Bowl and decided to grab a bit of grub. Ordered an Old Fashion from the bar and it's pretty good. For food, I ordered the blackened snapper with vegetables and it's excellent. Well seasoned and delish! The bar area has different types of of seating including booths and an table area to watch the game on a big screen.

    Pork Belly Benedict with grit fritters, quail egg, and roasted breakfast (sweet) potatoes (4 stars)
    Daniel C.

    This is the main restaurant located in The Whitehall Hotel on the second floor. I came here for breakfast before headed out to work. Its a pretty good-sized restaurant with cool decorations of bull's heads made from steel wires. The menu has classic American-style breakfast items, but also quite a few unique offerings where they add some Tex-Mex flair to the dishes. My choice of the Pork Belly Benedict turned out good. The dish had great presentation - two fried sweet corn grit cakes topped with pork belly and a sunny-side up quail egg. There were some fried green tomato sauce around the bottom which gave some nice tartness. Pork belly was soft and tender - even the fatty parts are melt-in-mouth. Lastly, I really enjoyed the use of roasted yams and sweet potatoes as sides. Colorful and healthier than regular potatoes!

    Bowl of gumbo, steak fajitas, tres leches parfait. Everything was delicious, gumbo had a lot of shrimp, fajitas were super sizzling with good flavor. The waiter checked on me at good intervals, even the hostess went around and checked. The parfait was really delicious, it was a bit heavy for me to finish by myself at the end of an already heavy meal, but I couldn't stop.

    Quesadillas
    Lauren T.

    I started a new job just three weeks ago and asked around for the closest, good Mexican restaurant and was sent here. So happy to be here, food is Delicious! Ordered the steak quesadillas, and got a side of queso. Definitely Tex-Mex, thank goodness . I will be returning ! Had to try cheesecake for dessert! It was almost inappropriate how much I enjoyed that cheesecake.

    Chan'tel M.

    Ate here during a work event that was at The Whitehall Hotel (downtown Houston). The tacos and queso were pretty good and they also have great dessert. I tried the cheesecake and tres leches...yummy! Though are event was set up buffet style, I did glance at the menu before the event and prices looked pretty reasonable, especially to be located within a hotel. I'm iffy when it comes to Mexican food. Being from SoCal, I prefer baja style. But I reckon you Texans would dig this.

    Edgar's Hermano is a restaurant located in the Whitehall hotel in downtown Houston. Its vicinity to my office had me visited me a few times for lunch. Having said that, I wouldn't say this is my favorite lunch spot. The lunch menu offered variety of food where you can 2 or 3 items out of may 6-7 items to make up your lunch. I opted for chip and queso, chicken slider, and fried chicken. A small piece of pie came with my dish also. Chip and queso was alright; it might have been better with a beer. Chicken slider was OK, but the fried chicken was a tad salty. That small piece of Pecan pie was an afterthought and I didn't recall how it tasted either as it probably was either bad or outstanding. The service was prompt and fast. I didn't have to wait long for my food. To sum it up, the food was just OK , and the service was good. The ambiance was alright, but it seemed a little bit too bright for me. I probably would come back here if my coworkers want to come here, but I wouldn't pick this place as my lunch spot.

    Paloma- spicy jalapeno margarita
    Crystal M.

    Visiting Houston with my sister and we were staying at the Whitehall hotel. Visited the restaurant for dinner and our server Andrew was amazing! So helpful, professional and friendly. He basically picked our menu items for us based on what we told him we like. We had the Paloma to drink, brisket tacos and oxtail stew (it was called soup but it was more hearty and thicker). Everything was great! Especially the tacos and the avocado cream sauce that came with it.

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal.

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!

Food: - Chicken liver pate: 10/10 SOOOO good! The bread that comes with it is amazing too. There is some sweet jam that is paired with it also. It doesn't overpower the main pate flavor, but I could probably do without the sweetness. - Pressed leeks: 10/10 I haven't had leeks too often in my life but this was really good! The sauce that they put it on pairs so well with it and really makes the dish. Must try even if you think you don't like leeks. - Venison tartare: my husband loves tartare and mustard so he loved this dish. I despise mustard and am lukewarm on tartare. The mustard taste was so strong. I hated this dish but I'm also not a good critic for it, so no rating from me. - Pappardelle: 7/10 Simple and classic. Not worth getting on your first visit but a nice dish on its own. - Butternut squash: 8/10 I can't remember much about this dish except that I enjoyed it :) - Pork collar Milanese: 9/10 Like a much better version of a schnitzel - Dumplings: 9/10 Just read the description on the menu and you know it's gonna be good. Ricotta? Brown butter? Yup amazing! Creamy, delicate, but not just a big mush that makes me want to gag. - Lamb ribs: 9/10 Nicely smoked, all around good balanced flavor - Wagyu bavette: 10/10 So good! Tender and juicy. But at this point in the meal, I'm usually pretty stuffed and the portion size is pretty decent. I would enjoy it even more if we didn't always order so many other small plates haha - Mushrooms: 9/10 Mushroom haters, please try this! You may change your mind! It changed my friend's mind that also doesn't like mushrooms. Service: - Always a good time. Checks in but not overbearing. Ambiance is slightly upscale but still relaxed. Doesn't feel uppity. - One time, we got free dessert. We were the last party in there so they probably just wanted to get rid of it. The cookie was so good! I've also been for brunch but have since forgotten what we've ordered. I just remember enjoying it a lot more than expected. Can't wait to go back again!

    I might have just found one of my new favorite restaurants in Houston. What a great experience!…read more Recently, a good friend dined here and immediately called me to tell me how great it was. She then text our friends group and said we all had to come together and we did just that. She made reservations in advance as this place is popular thanks to recent Michelin Bib Gourmand awards as well as many other accolades. Walk ins are welcome as well. Our reservation was later in the evening so after a night of bar hopping, we ride shared in which I think is one of the best options as parking is limited here or you have to find street parking in the neighborhood. This place is literally a house turned into a restaurant. Inside is just multiple rooms with a couple of tables. It makes for a unique, intimate dining experience, perfect for a date night. In our case, we were a group of nine so we got patio seating. The patio is spacious and well kept, and if the weather cooperates, a great place to hang. One thing that really stood out to me is the amazing ambience of this place. I was told that the bartenders pick the music for the night from the owners extensive vinyl collection. Once the album is in, they play it in it's entirety. The sound system was systeming and on top of the great company and food, we were totally vibing with the music. Customer service was amazing. Every staff member we came across was so friendly, especially our server. The menu here changes. There are some mainstays, but they like to change things up. Their website shows current menus daily. We were told that family style is the best way to experience this restaurant. I am one of those people that will always listen to the staff and go with their suggestions. Our group went through quite a bit of their menu from apps, entrees and desserts. I loved that our server and staff brought our food out one by one in what they thought was the best progression so we could take a culinary journey. We started off light with their popular Dilly Bread. Best bread I've had in awhile. Next was the Texas Tartare. It was my first ever tartare and it was delicious. We then moved on to Fingerlingin Good which was a crispy potato dish with chili crisp and mascarpone. It was potatoes elevated to the highest level and so so good. Next up was Beer Battered Sweet Tots. I didn't think sweet potatoes could be that good. Our first entree was a vegan dish called the Carroty Kid. I could seriously become a vegan if all dishes tasted like this. It was curried. A bowl of jasmine rice would've made it a complete meal. Next we tried another famous Nobie's dish called Nonno's Pasta. Handmade, perfectly cooked tagliatelle with a delicious bolognese. I wouldn't share this next time. Ok, I will, but it was that good. On to the heavier dishes. First up was the Jamon With Your Bad Self. This came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It was favorite heavy entree. It was high quality, iberico pork steak with shaved brussels and all kinds of other tasty ingredients that when combined made such a tasty bite. We then went to the sea with the Drops of Grouperter. It was good, but not something I would order again. It was a little too smoky for my liking. Our biggest dish that came market priced was the Kick His Ass Seabass. This was a whole fish that was presented beautifully on a platter with all the accouterments to make your own elevated fish tacos. We left no morsel of fish behind. It was absolutely delicious. One of the things this place is really known for is their pies. This was the part I was most excited about. Just like their menu, their pies change up. We got all their offerings that night which they presented on one big platter of goodness. Their main stay and I believe always on the menu is the famous Olive Oil Cake. It's not a pie, but I can see why this is such a popular dessert. I can't even describe it, you just have to try it to understand. The pies we had were the Black Bottom Strawberry Pie, Banana Rum, and the Peanut Butter Pie. I would order all of them again. We all had a difference of opinion on which was the best, but my fave was the Banana Rum. Overall, I was highly impressed with this place and kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to make it here. It had made it's way to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in Houston. I will be back.

    Boy I really wanted to like this place but I may be one of the few people in Houston that doesn't…read more I had reservations for the outside patio and we were immediately greeted by the water boy. He ended up being one of the best aspects of our experience that evening. Our waitress wasn't nearly as good. We started by asking for ice in the water from the waitress since they just give you room temp water. After 10 mins of seeing her serve other tables and ignoring our request, we then figured the water boy would make it happen...and sure enough he did. We then ordered the grilled oysters, which are very lightly cooked, almost seemingly steamed more than anything, but they were very good regardless of the cooking method with the sauces and garnishes and pickle juice added. Next up was ordering the entrees. The menu here is a little strange with numerous vegan choices with strange titles and only a few items with protein. To top it off, there are not many choices period. The waitress explained that the left side is basically the apps, and the right side is basically the entrees. I knew I wanted to try the wagyu flat iron steak which is priced pretty high here, compared to other wagyu flat irons I've had at other restaurants across the US. We couldn't really decide on a 2nd main dish then the waitress mentioned the off the menu special which was a scallop pasta so we picked that thinking it sounded delicious. The entrees come out about 15 mins later, and we take our first bites and we both thought, oh no, if we share the other person across from me isn't going to like this dish because it's too salty. I tried the steak first and noticed the sauce being extra salty, then I tried the pasta and the pasta was way worse, but the scallops didn't seem to be affected. We immediately told the waitress the next time she stopped by....and she just said okay, and walked away. I figured she would go get the manager....but nope...she just kept on serving other tables. At this point we thought to ourselves only the oyster app was decent.....and no reason to look at the dessert menu since we had already spent over $100 on food we could hardly eat. Sure enough, the waitress stops by a 2nd time and asks if we'd like to see the dessert menu. I couldn't leave fast enough and told her we'll skip. Needless to say we both left hungry as the portions were not only not edible, but also fairly small. The water boy also stopped by and offered to turn on the heater if we get cold. Boy, I wish he was our waiter instead. For a supposedly Michelin-starred restaurant, I feel they really got this one wrong.

Our party's arrival ran late, and they were still able to accommodate us. This was greatly appreciated. However I thought the music was a little too loud, because I could not hear my party across the table. We finally determined we were sitting right under a speaker. Prior to this a manager did ask if we were comfortable at our table, due to my mobility issues. If mobility impaired it's best to sit on the main level, especially if the restroom is needed. Otherwise, there are about 4-5 steps, to go through the kitchen. The kitchen is a huge process!!! I was impressed!Service was pretty good. They were knowledgeable, and got our orders correct. At times I felt our questions were answered a bit snippy, but it didn't persist. My party did feel a bit rushed by staff asking to pick up plates in the middle of our meal. This was a bit disruptive, because I would move plates to the edge if I want them removed. The food was really good. The cons for me is the 1% cutlery charge to help tip the kitchen staff, in addition to the 20% regular tip. They apparently do this to not raise menu prices. It's not a make or break thing, I've never seen it before nor was I made aware of it. It might be on the menu somewhere...idk. Additionally, valet parking is available for a fee. Most restaurants offer a birthday dessert, but this one did not. I would return to enjoy a few menu items like the queso, G & G Salad, and the oysters! These were really good. So for me, it really depends on what one wants to experience.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, especially during brunch with all the natural lighting coming through the indoor space. Such a lovely atmosphere with plants surrounding us. The food was amazing, and sharing appetizers was the perfect way to try a few different things. They also have a huge wine selection, which I really enjoyed. I tried their pizza paired with wine, and honestly, it was the perfect combination. The service was also excellent, everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made the experience even better without feeling rushed. They even asked if we wanted to help to get our picture taken, that was so sweet of them.

I arrived about an hour before closing, expecting it to be quiet, but at 9:00 p.m. it was still bustling with energy, laughter, and that soft glow that makes everything feel a little more special. I ordered the pork chop and swapped the carrots for broccolini. The pork chop had a beautiful char and was full of flavor--slightly undercooked, yes, but still delicious enough to carry the whole meal. I do wish they had mashed potatoes on the menu, though... it would have made it perfect. We also shared the Brussels sprouts, and sadly, they missed the mark this time. Dry and bitter, nothing like the saucy, flavorful version I've had before--maybe just the late hour catching up with the kitchen. But even so, that pork chop... it lingered in the best way. And sometimes, that's all you need.

You can tell the staff really cares about each other. I got the fried chicken piccata and pimento cheese fritters and one of the whiskey cocktails. And I mean to tell you I CLEANED MY PLATE. there was nothing left. Everything was so fresh and seasoned and delicious. A few weeks later I came on a Saturday night with friends and the service was a bit slower and table options were limited. We were still comfortable and just had a to wait a long time. We got our appetizers before our drinks. The crab toast wasn't my fave but I liked the pimento cheese fritters again.

There's two homes converted into a restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating as well. It was a beautiful, sunny day so we decided to sit under the shade outside. For drinks we ordered sangria and pineapple mimosas. The blueberry ginger pancakes seemed like a hit based on reviews so I ordered that as my entree. The portion size was huge so it was very filling. The ginger was not overwhelming at all and really complemented the sweetness of the blueberry toppings. I also ordered a the pork belly deviled eggs which were pretty yummy as well. My fiancé ordered the gumbo which was very savory and filled with the perfect combo of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage. The service was good as well. Our waiter checked on us several times throughout our meal. Very solid brunch spot in the heights!
