It's refreshing to have such a great dinning experience. Our waiter made several suggestions and all of them were excellent. The drinks were perfect. This is a place I will be returning to next time I am in Houston! Five stars! read more

Like the guy before me said, when in Rome...5*s This place seems to have learned their history and not repeat what new restaurateurs do. Give Robert my server. I somehow found a way to poke a hole in my arm and was caught trying to hide the blood; moments later he appeared with Club soda and a fresh napkin to get the blood out of the shirt You don't find service like that too often; and not at a new joint For food I got the burger sans bread and fries. Asked for beet salad, instead I was offered a mixed garden salad Good call Damitman, that's a good salad! The burger, Texas 44 made on Boston leaf lettuce, w/bacon LTO and that grain mustard. That came off if no shelf I've ever seen The meat, a blend of 80% brisket/20% short rib. How can it not be awesome And back to work we go read more

We had a great lunch here on a rainy day! For appetizers we had the pimento cheese fritters and fried oysters and Brussels sprouts. Both were very good for sharing and would definitely recommend getting both for a group of 4-6. My sister had the scallops and I had the mussels and chorizo pasta. My partner and friend both had the torta and were pleased. All entrees were delicious. The portions were generous. The decor is very cute. There's a great selection of local beers and the bartender was very helpful in making a selection. The service was very friendly and quick. This is a great spot for delicious and exciting southern seafood! read more

Very good food, server was amazing! we went for brunch and the serving sizes were perfect and the drinks were amazing! 10/10 recommend read more

My group ate here yesterday for brunch. My wife had the tomatoes and crab and I had the crab soup. Both were very good. The fried oysters and Brussels sprouts were excellent as well. Our server was Beth and she was very attentive and professional. We would definitely eat here again. On a separate note, this place serves great food but it isn't the most family friendly. I don't hold this against the restaurant. It's more of a trendy place, which is perfectly fine by me. The person that planned our brunch may not have been aware of this. Our party was 12 people- 6 adults + 6 young kids. We definitely got some odd looks from the other patrons who perhaps didn't expect our kind of table in there. In particular, we saw a table of 4 men that really looked perplexed. It was funny to watch the looks they were giving our table full of kids. These 4 men could never have kids on their own so it's not too surprising their reaction to a table full of kids in that kind of a restaurant. Regardless, the staff was great and took care of us despite not being the target clientele. In short, come eat there. It serves great food and the staff is friendly and professional. Just think twice about bringing young kids because it's not that kind of place. Leave the kids at home and come here for date night. read more

Wow. This is a great place. I do not even have to go in, and I know it is worth 5 stars. Travis has always done great work. I am glad he has his spot to shine. Love the parking situation. If you choose to not valet, do not complain about where you are choosing to park. Love the seating. They do not seat incomplete parties. Show up with all your friends at tbe same time. This cuts down on the number of cars you have to valet. Love the wait. If you are going to eat at a hot new restaurant there might be a line of like minded individuals at peak dining hours. Do not be stupid and leave a low rating because you are a narcissist. Love the small location. People are complaining because a chef cannot open a warehouse sized restaurant for his first spot Really??? Love the loud crowds. I know it is trendy to want to eat in a restaurant that is basically empty, but that is not how restaurant's work; and probably why your new favorite restaurant is always closing down. Keep up the good work here guys. Do not let the low star giving uneducated get you down read more

Front door staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurant was busy when we came in so we opted to eat at the bar instead of waiting for a table. We were not the only ones. The bartender was not terribly friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, or attentive. Food was just okay. read more

Met a friend for a late Friday lunch, was really looking forward to eating great food, winding down and catching up. Checked out their website and menu the day before. Food was okay, service was horrible. One of our waiters, a tall heavy set guy with a beard who was also servicing the bar, was extremely rude and overall just a jerk. My first and last try of this restaurant. read more

Excellent food but the service lacked. Waiter was aloof and arrogant. I practically had to beg for a second cup of tea and asking for a spoon and a plate to set my tea bag on was out of the question as he did not even glance at us. Forget about a refill on water. Too bad / this place could have been winner except for the yucky feeling we had when we left. The vibe was negative all around. Does anyone like to work at this place because not only our waiter was rude, other employees seemed unhappy snd uncaring. read more

Great spot for food and drinks! Love the deviled eggs. I love the location and the ambiance. Sometimes parking can be tricky, but the food is worth it. read more

I came to here for late lunch and it was not busy at all. Parking was around the restaurant ( I learned the hard way) the restaurant staff were very inviting. The process are a bit pricey and food was okay. I got the fried oysters with brussel sprouts as an appetizer and they were lukewarm. I prefer my oysters to be a little bit more crispy, but it was very flavorful. My friend and I got the Snapper with Lobster mashed potatoes and pecan crusted trout with succotash. I think the highlight of our meals was the Lobster mashed potatoes. It was delicious! read more

Food is excellent. I have had multiple dishes and all were fantastic. I strongly recommend. It also has a delightful industrial interior design read more

Excellent restaurant! Entering was a bit confusing since there are multiple buildings. Once inside everything was great! I ordered the beet salad and the waiter was hesitant to let me order without the cheese. I finally convinced him I would take responsibility for the taste. The dish was still delicious! Everything else we tried was tasty as well. Will be coming back! read more

I got the duck with the belly bacon collards and the lemon risotto. Super tasty-- will definitely be back. read more

My favorite restaurant in Houston. It is the perfect neighborhood spot and just a walk from my house. Recently expanded so there is more room for people to wait. Dinner is amazing but brunch is good too. My go-to is the scallop entree. The brussel sprout and pimento cheese appetizers are the BEST and I get them every time. The wait staff is friendly and helpful. We've made friends with many of them and continue to return. My only complaint is that I wish they still had the pecan crusted flounder as an entree. It was absolutely delicious. read more

The pork chop is to die for and a very large portion at that. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our dinner here on a our of the moment date night. Great feel of comfort and class. read more

They do patio seating very well. Excellent waitstaff, with some tasty menu choices. We are regulars.

What a fantastic cozy spot. I don't know....this has quickly turned into one of my favorite spots. The bar is a great place to hang out, try amazing cocktails and if that whets your appetite, then the food is actually tremendous. The pulpo...don't even ask...how in the world is it so good, tender and smothered in the best chorizo ever? Also the sous vide Chicken was incredible. In the past I've also had their quail and it was magnificent. All in all a fantastic restaurant, with quality food, service and a warm ambiance. read more

Had an exceptional experience at dinner. We ate in the refurbished gas station building which was perfect for conversation with my 85 year parents and my son and his wife. Anthony was very attentive and helpful as a waiter and mixologist. The food was superb, especially the she crab soup and vegan tofu and rice. Zelko's had been one of my favorites, but F&T has raised the bar with both the quality of food and use of the space. It was as good a dining experience as I have ever had. Might try emphasizing the connection with Bonnie and Clyde and the old gas station rather than an angry Johnny Cash. read more

Cool place. No Parking, have to use valet. Service was good, food was mediocre to good.

Pork chop was excellent!!! The risotto was also very good. The server was very friendly and service was great!

The food is great. It is a small house that has been converted to a dinning room with an add on for the kitchen and bar area... or that is what is seems. Outside they have a great yard area with cool seating. Desert was great. Would go again. read more

Excellent for date night. We sat at the bar and couldn't have been more happy. The ambiance was just what we were looking for and the service was on point. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

I was looking forward to going here as I was regular at Zelko....the warm welcome I got when I pulled up was $5 valet parking when zelko had easy free parking. We go in and tell them we have 3 in our party. The third person was going to come later, but we wanted to get appetizers and drinks, but they refused to seat us due to our friend coming later....not a friendly spot read more

I went to Field & Tides with a group of 5 people. They have nice outdoor seating, and our group sat outside. There was no wait for a table on Saturday at 8pm which was nice. The menu has a lot of different meat and seafood options. I would give the food 4 stars, but the service was not good, so that is why this review is 3 stars. First, our waiter was just not personable at all. One of my friends ordered the chorizo and mussels pasta and wanted some bread to soak up the sauce, we asked the waiter if we could get some bread, and he very rudely replied "we don't have bread here, only hamburger buns" and walked away. The price point of the food here is about $15-$35 a plate, and I expect better service. Maybe I will give it another try, we could have caught the waiter at a bad time. read more

4 of us had brunch here on Saturday and the food was amazing. Really fresh seafood. Our service wasn't great but that didn't seem normal

This place sucks the waitress with glasses was a total bitch any question I had she answered like I was stupid. I ended up not even ordering and leaving. The food was way over priced for nothing special. Hard to find area and parking was shitty. Will definitely not be going back. The waitress sucks. Did I mention that. read more

We came here with a larger group than I would probably recommend (7 in our party total). Everyone in the group was highly impressed with the insulation on the ceiling to keep the noise level down in the smaller space. While the scallop entree was a little lacking on the scallops, the mango dessert was loved by everyone at our table, even those that normally prefer chocolate. read more

I went with my wife last night and we were both thoroughly impressed. The service was outstanding and the food was great. I had the scallops and she had the snapper and both were well-paired with their respective risottos. The cocktails were nice but a bit sweet for my taste, and the atmosphere was just what you would hope for from a nice neighborhood restaurant. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is that the valet situation is terrible. First, it's a $5 valet which is definitely not standard for Houston, where pretty much every valet service is complimentary and you just tip the attendant. It felt like a cash grab, but hey, I'm the one who should have read the sign I suppose. But the real issue is that the attendant was lazy and brought my car back with a weird black rubbery smudge on the door. If you're going to charge a mandatory $5 for valet, at least hustle to go get my car and don't leave it with the seat adjusted and a valet ticket on the dash and on the key ring. read more

I sure wish I could try Field and Tides but I haven't been able to because I prefer not to wait 2 hours to be seated. That's just asinine. Each time we call on a Friday or Saturday night for dinner we are told the wait is 1.5 hour+. Reservations are not allowed unless you are a big party. Tonight my date called at 6pm to see how long the wait was and the hostess said "no wait, we have tables available." We arrive at 6:30pm and the wait already jumped to 1.5 hours! But here is the thing, they had a table that seats 4 outside available and 3 small booths available which seat 2 people each. Why have enough space for 10 diners and have an hour and a half wait at 6:30?! I could see the various parties waiting for their turn to dine which still leads me to the same question, why are you not seating people Field and Tides?! I salute you diners who get their at dawn in order to be seated in time for dinner. I hope one day Field and Tides allows reservations for couples OR utilizes their 10 empty spots. read more

The daily red snapper crudo was refreshing and flavorful. The red snapper and scallop entrees were very tasty. The pineapple upside down cake and chocolate cake were really moist! My husband REALLY enjoyed his drink, the First Cut. Everyone works really hard here! I really appreciate their great service, delicious food, and good drinks! I definitely recommend! read more

Every visit has been a treat. Good wine list. The hosts are welcoming. The menu truly has something for everyone and has seasonal dishes. Great for a special occasion or a "just because" meal. read more

Skip this place it will be gone in 6 months anyway once the new wears off. A friend and I spent $95 on wine and appetizers. The food was fine but the service was unbelievable bad. The waiter literally threw the plates on our table. There were other empty tables around us so I'm guessing others had the same bad impression. read more

I'm more than a little surprised about all of the good reviews for this place. I went here last night with my boyfriend and another couple. The only table available was inside, which was fine, but it is shockingly loud inside. The owners really need to do something about this. All of us were yelling across the table and even to the waiter who made a joke about it. General Rundown: We ordered Fried Oysters/Brussels, Pimento Cheese Balls, Daily Crudo, Scallops, Sloppy Tides, Venison, and the Snapper. Everything was fine but nothing was good.The pimento cheese balls, especially, left a lot to be desired- they were glorified mozzarella sticks (I'm NOT judging mozzarella sticks, because yum, but not for $7). Also, they were supposed to be served with jelly but were instead served with this weird liquid sauce. My snapper was ok, but they left the skin on. This would have been ok if they seared it and made the skin crispy, but it was a mushy mess that lacked flavor. The group decided the venison was the standout dish, but even then it was just ok. It was served with poblano mash which were also just ok. As a side note, the service was terrible. We all let this slide since the restaurant is new but our waiter had way too many tables. We were never asked if we wanted another cocktail after we all finished our cocktails and we had to ask for more water 1 hour into dinner. Also, from the time we finished our apps until we ordered our dinner entrees was about 30 minutes where he didn't come back to our table. Again, I understand the restaurant is new so hopefully they work out the kinks. read more

Passed by to check it out because the reviews are so high. The location is a converted house, (garage type) shabby chic. Was told it was a 1.5 hour wait when the it was 50 percent empty and was told that it was because of reservations. Have to say from experience,being mismanaged would be the only reason. Not gonna waste my time here. Very low standards here in Houston. Seems to me that long wordy, high reviews are fake. read more

So my friend and I had a little bit of trouble finding this place... The restaurant sign is abbreviated. How are people supposed to know?! There was a big sign that says Field and Tides Parking only for the lot across the street but be careful of the smaller sign that says "valet parking only." It's $5 by the way. The valet guy was rude but that's a different story for another time. Our server was very nice and helpful on our questions with the menu. The (5) fried oysters with brussel sprouts and sloppy tides were good. The sandwich really lived up to its name of sloppy because it just fell apart while eating. We both agreed that the very popular choice of pulled pork buttermilk stack SUCKED. It's basically 2 pancakes with pulled pork in the middle. Meat was dry, it lacked flavor. I was disappointed about that dish that we barely touched it. We tried to eat the meat to salvage the meal but nah not worth it. It's a cute place with a small dining area. I like that patio space tho. Probably would not recommend this place or go back. read more

We went in today (Monday) for a late lunch. Loved the cozy and quaint atmosphere of the bar! Decor is beautiful. I loved the wine boxes on the ceiling in the entry way. Bartender promptly acknowledged us in a friendly manner. When the second shift bartender came on, he also greeted us and checked on us. Neither ignored us but wasn't in our face all the time as some can get when its a slower time of the day. Didn't catch eithers name but great job! I ordered one of their specialty drinks, w gin....presentation was gorgeous! Drink was great! Then we got the fried green tomato and crab stack. Omg!! Once again, presentation was beautiful. The vinaigrette was delicious, kept trying to find more drizzle on the plate (next time I'll order a side of extra). The tomatoes were cooked perfect. The crust was wonderful. Normally anything w "lump crab" is a few slivers of crab, this was definitely giant lumps and was cooked to perfection. Even the greens were cut up and placed nicely on the plate. We shared the scallops and risotto, sear on the scallops was nice w a bit crisp and they melted like butter in my mouth! The sauce on the risotto was delicious. My only small complaint is it was freezing in the restaurant! All in all, 99.999%!! We will definitely be back, I'll just bring a cardigan! read more

Went for brunch and everything was amazing. Bloody mary, coffee and food was all great. Went early before catching a flight, so there was no wait and the service was prompt. read more

We had a Saturday night dinner here. Everything was excellent. My wife had some very fine Chardonnay and I had a generous vodka on the rocks pour. Our server, Scott G, was very friendly and made some menu recommendations that I'm glad we followed. We split a Tomato & Crab Stack that was as delicious as it looked; excellent presentation. My wife had the Tide Redfish and I had the Gulf Snapper. We also split a side order of the Shrimp Crab Risotto. Presentation on everything was outstanding. The do have limited seating both inside and outside on the patio and the place was packed. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Field & Tides. read more

Service was horrible. The waitress came up and didn't even introduce herself... she was very impersonal the whole time. Didn't come to check on us throughout our meal or offer us another drink. Food was subpar, we had the scallops, rissoto, and fried Brussel sprouts. Personally I thought the Brussel sprouts were terrible - it honestly tasted like like they were drowned in maple syrup. The risotto was pretty good, and they were stingy on the scallops for the price (3 for $31). The air conditioning wasn't running, it was very stuffy in the restaurant. I wouldn't recommend this spot. read more
