    Shrimp Boil
    Adriana A.

    First time visit! Walking in the restaurant is beautiful & roomy! Service was excellent from the hostess to our server! Now for the food...absolutely did not disappoint! Tostada had great flavor - the shrimp was a great size! The boiled shrimp was amazing!! Definitely a go to for fresh seafood! And they have very generous portions for the price!

    Elizabeth was our waitress Fresh lemonade was amazing Jicama is in the side salad Everything was fresh Ambiance amazing The front hostesses were very friendly mariachis on Sundays she mentioned I had the bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp and the boyfriend had the combination ceviche. Overall everything was great. Can't wait to go back and try their cocktails and micheladas. Rice was really good also!

    Shrimp Botana

    Fatima absolutely made our lunch at El Muelle. I took my lifelong best friend there for his birthday, and she dialed in the experience right from the start--present when you need her, invisible when you don't. She checked in just enough to keep things moving without hovering, which is a rare skill and honestly makes a big difference. We had a couple questions on the menu and she knew her stuff--clear answers, no guessing, no confusion. Communication was easy the whole time, solid English, no back-and-forth or missed details. Food-wise, she set the tone and kept it seamless. My friend had the shrimp botana and it was outrageous--in a good way. I went with the mixed cocktail (shrimp, fish, pulpo, oysters) and it was fresh, loaded, and exactly what I wanted. She kept the flow going, drinks topped off, timing on point. And on top of all that--she's got a great energy. Big smile, upbeat, makes you feel like she actually enjoys what she's doing. It lifts the whole table. Closed us out fast when we were ready, no waiting around with that awkward "where's the check" phase. Bottom line: great food, better service. Ask for Fatima if you go--you'll have a better time. For Fatima if she reads this: Aquí tienes la versión en español, manteniendo el mismo tono natural y directo: Fatima hizo que nuestra comida en El Muelle fuera excelente. Llevé a mi mejor amigo de toda la vida a celebrar su cumpleaños, y desde el inicio ella manejó todo perfecto--presente cuando la necesitas y discreta cuando no. Pasaba a preguntar lo justo, sin volverse molesta, lo cual se agradece mucho. Teníamos algunas dudas del menú y ella sabía bien lo que ofrecían--respuestas claras, sin confusión ni rodeos. La comunicación fue fácil todo el tiempo, habla muy buen inglés y no hubo ningún malentendido. En cuanto a la comida, todo fluyó sin problemas. Mi amigo pidió la botana de camarones y estaba espectacular. Yo pedí el cóctel mixto (camarón, pescado, pulpo y ostiones) y venía bien servido, fresco y justo como esperaba. Siempre atenta con las bebidas y el ritmo de la mesa. Y además de todo, tiene una gran actitud. Siempre sonriente, alegre, le da buena energía al ambiente y hace que la experiencia sea mejor. Cuando pedimos la cuenta, llegó rápido--sin tener que esperar ni estar buscándola. En resumen: excelente comida y aún mejor servicio. Pregunten por Fatima si van--vale totalmente la pena.

    TRUST ME! everything here is sooooo delicious I don't like too much the fish, but with the "Chicharrones de tilapia" crunchy and flavorful you can't imagine that is fish With the "Mariscada" I highly recommend the "Centroamerica" is made with coconut milk Writing this post make feel hungry again haha Tania is amazing girl, she was very sweet and the service was great, not just from her, from everyone. You have to visit this place!!

    Fresh oisters!!

Cool surroundings and nice tables and decor. We got here early and got a table. Nice people and good service! Food was just OK. Crab dipper appetizer was OK. Crab tasted a little old. Bread and butter were good as were the salads. My son got the Salmon which was pretty good (came with dirty rice that was alright. My wife had the whol Branzino prepared Greek style, and it was good, but not great (maybe a little overdone). Our sons neighbor recommended the "Christie's pride" and that is what I got. It was... interesting. The seafood dressing was kind of odd and a bit pungent. It was, as I said, interesting. Looking back the waiter maybe hinted to not get that, but I came in here to try it. Kind of a let down, but there was a big menu so assuming other dishes are better. The main disappointment is that prices were steep! The 3 dishes we had plus appetizer was $150 (No drinks... no dessert)! Would have been a fair price if we all thought the food was amazing. But at best it was "pretty good" Like I said/ lots going for it but no plans to return...

The waitstaff grilled the meat for us. We had chosen a nice selection of great quality meats. An elegant sufficiency with dumplings, pancakes, soups, et al.

    Based on reviews I had high expectations for this location, but to be honest for what I paid which…read morewas $150 plus tips, I was expecting way better quality meat. Now don't get me wrong it's a step above other AYCE Korean BBQ spots but it was definitely not 5 stars. The reason why I gave it a 4 is because our server Aydana was very kind and accommodating. She made sure we got everything we needed & even cooked our food. We came around 5pm for dinner & it was not busy at all for a Friday. The decor is modern and minimalist & spacious all around. We decided to get the Prime beef combo large priced at $147, this will feed 3-4 people. It also comes with one soup. All the meats were tendered especially the prime boneless short ribs, it was buttery & melt in your mouth. Also, it had some nice marbling. The beef brisket was just okay and I could've gotten the same quality at Handam. The bulgogi was marinated to perfection but it was a little sweet for my liking. The soup I ordered was the sundubu jjigae. The combination of seafood, veggies & tofu went well together. I'll order it again. The sauces that were provided were solid. My favorite was the chimichurri. Now what was lacking were their banchan's. None of it caught my attention. The sausage that was drenched in some weird sauce tasted pretty odd and bad. It was like hotdogs with some bbq sauce. I Just want to add that the white rice was soft and fluffy. At the end they gave us complimentary drink. It was refreshing. Overall I'll give the food a 3, but the service is what gave it a 4. Our server was even nice enough to pack our leftovers. Definitely enough for a next day meal. My friend forgot to take his food home & she ran out of the restaurant to hand him his food. That right there is above and beyond service. Since we ordered a large combo they also gave me a hello kitty mug to take home, that was cute lol. Now what struck a red flag was an alert I saw on their Yelp page. Pretty much saying that they were bribing customers with free stuff in exchange for a 5 star review. My advice is don't do that. It doesn't make you guys look good. Will I come back? I definitely would but only if I feel like splurging myself.

    I would say that boiled crawfish is one of if not my favorite food, and in the past I've tried…read morethese little rascals at several restaurants in town. Having said that, one would say that I'm a Crawfish whisperer In the past I've always waited until they are big enough to even take the time to eat the flesh out of the claws, and that time is NOW, when the NBA playoffs are in full swing... For years I have called Bayou City Seafood around this time to ask what size they are, and this year was no different. I trust them to be honest with me, and they always are. So, if you either love crawfish or if you have always wanted to try them, there's no place in the city that's better. We go at 6:30 and sit at the bar. I order three pounds, which sounds like a lot but the tail has all the meat. Corn and potatoes are extra and the Boudin as an appetizer is fabulous. BTW, one of their craft beers is the perfect pairing. The service is excellent and our waitress at the bar was new, friendly, and very accommodating. I can't imagine a better experience eating great tasting crawfish at a better restaurant than Bayou City. If you go, go now, and look for me at the bar I crawfish!!! Don't forget to 'suck the heads'! It's not the brains you're sucking, it's just the juices from the fat and the crawfish boil.

    So I am not a seafood eater, so my review should not have any impact on the seafood lovers. I…read moreordered pasta aspen. Service was good. There was parking as well. The food was just lack luster. There was no flavor at all. Like I could not taste love or hate in this meal. The portion size was good for two people to split. The food just was not appetizing for me. I went on a Friday night for date night. The chicken was dry like the chicken breast was overcooked - I personally just would not return but again it could just be that I had high hopes for pasta.
