The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for us to relax, enjoy each other's company, and have a nice evening out together. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. We really enjoyed the overall vibe of the restaurant, and the service made the experience even better. Everyone was welcoming and attentive without making us feel rushed, which is something we really appreciate when we're out on a date. We make it a point to have a date night every month, so finding places where we can enjoy good food, good service, and a great atmosphere is important to us. URBE definitely delivered. We left happy, full, and already talking about coming back. If you're looking for a great Houston restaurant for a date night or just a good meal with someone special, I definitely recommend URBE. Five stars from us -- we'll be back!

We didn't have a reservation but know if you have a small party and get there before noon, you can get in and out before the crowds come. For parties of 4 or more, it's best to make a reservation. We arrived and were quickly seated and greeted. It's a nice size and very clean, located in the gallaría Uptown strip. They have a lot to choose from; enchiladas, tamales, birria tacos, fresh chicharrón, soup, chilaquiles, elote', brisket, ceviche, salad, fresh fruit and a plethora of dessert options. I'm sure I missed some stuff, because it's a lot. There is definitely something for everyone. We have added then to the rotation and will be back in the future. Enter freely, they've been approved.

The service was truly exceptional, the energy from everyone was amazing, and you can tell that every single detail matters. The food Friday night was absolutely spectacular. Every dish felt thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. It was one of those meals where you leave already thinking about when you can come back. And I have to give a special shoutout to Chef Zach because I finally noticed the mustache... and honestly, it may be the best mustache I've ever seen! I always enjoy coming here, but Friday night was something special. Great food, incredible service, amazing energy, and attention to detail from start to finish. You can feel the passion that goes into the experience, and it truly makes a difference. 10/10 experience. I'll definitely be back!

We love this place. Been going for date nights and special occasions since 2014 and it never…read moredisappoints. The menu is always changing and we've gotten to try so many unique dishes. But we took it up another notch and rented out their private upper room for my wife's birthday party last month. That was incredible. They handled all the details and were very accommodating. The space was comfortable for up to 20 people. We had a few kids in our group and they had great food options for them as well. Also since it was a private area, our kids could roam without bothering anyone else. We will definitely do more parties like this here in the future. Thanks so much to Kevin and his team for the memorable evening.

Have been passing by Roost for years and finally had a chance to try it. A friend picked this place…read morefor our group dinner, and happened to be HRW too. In a nutshell...charming and cozy ambience, great Sake cocktail, ok food and service. The dining area is as if you walked into someone's cute, but modernish countryside cottage. Very inviting, and comfortable without being too casual. Our server was friendly enough but she didn't know her restaurants food or menu as well as one would have thought. When I asked what temp the duck breast was usually cooked to, she had no idea. Additionally, she was a little too eager to clear dishes before I was done. Again, very friendly, just not as "with it" as I would have expected. For HRW, I had the crawfish boulettes to start, the roasted duck as the main, and donut holes to finish. The boulettes were dense. Imagine taking the stuffing from Thanksgiving and compacting it down as much as you could, then batter and frying them. That's how they were like, but Cajun flavored. The duck was honestly even more disappointing. The flavors of the dish were very nice. But the duck, which our server finally confirmed was supposed to be cooked medium rare, was overly cooked to a well-done temp. Now if you do that, at least get the skin crispy. But no, the skin was limp and flaccid. The whole dish was two small pieces of duck...you wouldn't think it would be difficult to crisper the skin before sending. The savior of the night was the donut holes. Get them. Don't hesitate. Just get them. They were delicious. My wife's cauliflower starter and Greek fish were very tasty. Her Tahini cheesecake was less so. Overall I enjoyed the flavors enough to try another time. I just hope the food and service execution will be a bit better.

The oyster and gin pairing pictured here was such a fun experience. The briny, fresh oyster paired beautifully with the crisp gin cocktail, and I loved the presentation. It was a memorable way to start the meal and a great example of the thoughtful food-and-drink combinations Squable does so well. But the real star of my visit isn't pictured: the cheeseburger. It is hands down the best cheeseburger I have ever had in Houston. I've had plenty of great burgers around the city, but Squable's is the one I would go back specifically to order again. It's incredibly juicy, rich, flavorful, and indulgent, with everything working together exactly the way you want a great burger to. The cocktails, food, atmosphere, and overall attention to detail made for a fantastic experience. Squable feels equally appropriate for cocktails and a few shared plates or a full dinner, but whatever else I order next time, that cheeseburger is absolutely going on the table again. Definitely worth a visit in the Heights and an easy five stars for me.

I thought the food was salty. I just don't get the hype. Our server was really nice though. With that being said I don't think The taste of the food and experience aren't worth another trip here.

We came on a Friday at 6:30pm, maybe 2 other tables and even by 8pm it was still dead. Bar was hopping so that might be the ticket. We both did the 2026 restaurant weeks menu. I had the salad to start and she the tomato torte. My salad was fine but I've made better salads her torte was pretty good. For mains I had the chicken with gnocchi and she the salmon, both OK. Her salmon was only cooked fine but was burnt on the edges like they put it under the salamander for a bit too long. My chicken was good and moist but man the gnocchi was not good, mushrooms had no seasoning nor were really cooked. Dessert was also out of the walk in, I had the mousse cake and it was dry like it was a few days old. Overall just not good, waitress was fine, service was slow for no one there. First round of drinks took 20 minutes. Just sad as this is such an amazing space but the food and service are just not good.

This time, every single bite of food was stellar. Of course, I had to have that incredible Caesar salad with its decadent fried croutons and delicious Boquerones. We also tried the shrimp toast, which was perfectly crispy yet not at all greasy - excellent! The scallop congee was soul-warming and, I swear, tasted just like the congee my mom made us as kids when we were sick. The crawfish risotto was punchy and savory with a hint of a kick. If the congee is sweet-natured comfort food, the risotto is its rebellious punk-rock cousin. Both were outstanding. Even the dessert - the fig tart - was a delightful surprise. Yes, we were very full - and yet we kept eating it: slightly figgy, nutty, and a sweet cream layer. The accompanying ice cream was the perfect partner: We all agreed this was truly a perfect meal!
