[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great drinks and quiet/intimate vibes at the bar when I visited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wished the brunch and happy hour menu was more versatile, however the choice or 3 crosanti was a great option for a light bite.

Great noodles with wonderful sauce and burratta cheese

Almost perfect! Food was delicious, service is over the top and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is first rate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mediterranean food and appropriate music included.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

HOUSTON, TX 77056 / CONTEMPORARY/ 05-27-24 / LUNCH +The Mediterranean tacos were delicious. Happy Hour is $9 for three. +The Fig & Olive Salad was alright. +David, our server, was excellent.

Our waitress was super sweet and very accommodating. She recommended a spritz to my sister that she absolutely loved. I have been wanting to try Fig & Olive for a while now and let me tell you it did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was giving, love the modern, simple esthetic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The crostini, choose 3, was delish! My sister and I both ordered the steak and eggs, I got my eggs over easy and she scrambled. The chimichurri sauce was so good. The plate was well balanced with the salad. It didn't leave you feeling stuffed but satisfied. I needed my meal with an espresso martini. I will definitely be back! Perfect for a brunch, GNO, or date night.

We had a girls day at the mall and wanted to stop for a nice brunch. I've gone to the Fig and Olive in D.C. so decided this would be a good option for us especially since I've never had their brunch menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is very clean, cute and the ambiance gave us the vibe we wanted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was very nice and gave us some great recs. We started with the crostinis which were really good. We did two of the manchego ones and one with the burrata. I chose the steak and eggs for my meal which was cooked well and very flavorful. Overall, Fig & Olive just doesn't miss. This is a great option for a girls day out at the mall!

Fig and olive was absolutely great. Met up for a pre Christmas dinner with my friend and enjoyed every single bit of food we ate! Service felt like we were the only ones there and being catered to uniquely. Our server had the absolutely best suggestions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was classy and delicately decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Did I mention the food was fabulous. I can no longer eat beef but the lamb sirloin dish truly replaced my want for steak!! The mussels and fries were good, and their cocktails perfectly strong. I've been raving about Fig to my friends in hopes to return soon.

I was taken aback by the cold caramelized onions on the Crostini...and not in a pleasant way. The flavor profile just didn't do it for me. There was a bitterness that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Likewise, the prosciutto option left something to be desired. The Burrata, however, was quite nice. I would love to report that our experience improved as the brunch wore on, but alas... The prefixed Mother's Day menu stipulated that everyone at the table had to order from the menu, and even though several of the items are regularly served, they were off limits even to mothers who didn't wish to order a copious amount of food. I guess the idea of making sure your guests are happy no longer really plays a part in "service". Since we couldn't order what we wanted, we opted for the Benedict and the F&M burger. My mom felt the spinach interfered with her perfectly poached egg and crabcake. She longing stared off into the distance thinking about the far superior crabcake out at Brookwood. The burger looks amazing but just couldn't compete with other burgers around town. I can't say that the food would entice us to return. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nor would the incessant blinking light above our table. The ambiance would have otherwise been enjoyable had it not been for the light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Dinner Prix Fixe Dessert - Flourless Chocolate Espelette Cake

Peter M.

Since I was staying in the Houston Galleria area, we decided to look for a place that was walking distance from the hotel. A little searching brought us to Fig and Olive Tasting Kitchen and Bar. The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance, perfect lighting and well appointed decor. We had arrived without a reservation, but still were able to get a nice table outside. All the food choices were enticing. The best bet was the Dinner Prix Fixe Menu, which was reasonably priced at $48 per person for a 3-course meal. Since our party was comprised of seven people, we were able to taste all the selections on the menu. Appetizers were: Baby Arugula Salad, Tuna Meatballs and Wild Mushroom Croquettes. Entrees were: Moroccan-Spiced Salmon, Paccheri, Roasted Brick Chicken and Peppercorn-Crusted Strip Steak. Dessert choices were: Flourless Chocolate Espelette Cake and Lemon and Olive Oil Cake. All the dishes were superbly prepared and exuded with texture, flavor and taste, Service was exceptional.

Gourav D.

If I could give this restaurant 3.5 stars, I would. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is perfect, gorgeous inside and perfect for a date night, but not too loud so it's not overbearing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food and service were great too, don't get me wrong. But all of the dishes felt so rich with no acidity to cut through them. This felt like the case with everything that we ordered.

Walter R.

I hesitate to give 5 stars for anyone, because nobody is perfect. However this was a solid 4.8 experience. The ambiance is modern classy upscale. The staff was friendly, informative, and so attentive, my glass was always full, food was hot and quickly served, and used plates were whisked away immediately. We did the brunch menu. Steak and eggs were fantastic, with gorgeous presentation, and the Chimichurri sauce was maybe the best I have had. My drink was their version of an old fashioned, with fresh rosemary as an unexpected twist. We finished up with lemon pound cake and cappuccino. Overall a great experience, and I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Fig & Olive was an incredible dining experience that I was not expecting to find inside the Galleria mall. The service is top-notch; the team that took care of us were always present refilling water glasses, clearing plates, and getting additional cocktails. The menu is also stellar with great items made in special ways. For their autumn menu, I had the Smoke & Spice cocktail and could have that for the rest of my life. The combination of smoke and spice was perfection and was easily a standout of the day. However, the burrata appetizer with apples and beets was also stunning. You can tell the team takes pride in their preparation and ensuring quality ingredients. Lastly, my salmon main course was also lovely. The huge piece of fish was cooked very well, had tons of flavor and made me excited for the overall meal. Sadly, we were too full to try dessert, but next time I will make that happen.

Oh I love a good first impression and Fig & Olive did not disappoint. Following the surprise that the restaurant is attached to the Galleria, we were offered complimentary champagne, and amazing service upon entry while waiting for our table. As a party of 8, we were seated in semiprivate room facing the Galleria (not ideal but you can tell they're making an effort to conceal this) with a virtual fireplace gyrating on the television. Our waitress was attentive and kind. The bathrooms were clean, and luxurious. But as we waited for the remainder of our party, the illusion began to fade. First, somehow, somewhere in the restaurant was a constant beeping. This was not a "I didn't change the smoke alarm" beeping, or "food is ready in the kitchen" beeping but some unidentified, every 10 minutes or so , immediately takes you out of the fantasy of a luxury dining experience beeping. Secondly, the restaurant was near empty during brunch hours...odd for sure, but no sweat, maybe it's a hidden gem. Third, the offerings. We ordered the mimosa carafe with pomegranate, orange pineapple juice and apple cider. The idea is fantastic. We were not recommended two orders. For eight folks it included one very VERY "affordable" bottle of champagne. My cucumber cocktail was premixed (not ideal), but strong (ideal). Although it's understandable that the brunch menu is designed to honor the South of France, the portions per the price were surprising, in the worst way, even for the gaunt eaters of the group. *the Mediterranean dips sharing appetizer (on the for the table menu) is likely designed to be shared between 2. No more than 3. It would be appreciated if this could be communicated to parties when they inquire about shareable appetizers. My assumption that a menu titled "For the table" would comfortable feed more than two, but I suppose I should have asked. *the Yellow fish Tuna Carpaccio ($24)- whoop whoop, an appetizer that can be shared between more than 2 folks. Under salted, but otherwise delicious, flavorful, and texturally. *Lemon ricotta pancakes- arrived too thick and overworked. 4 members of the party ordered the dish. 2/4 thought their entree was undercooked, turns out they were stuffed with lemon ricotta. Additionally, if you plan to order, know that this is not a sweet entree, and likely not designed to fill. We did not find out until our dishes arrived, and we inquired about the size and seemingly raw center. While I love the tapaesque concept, we just wish the portion sizes and important notes of each dish ("would you like to order another, you mentioned this us for sharing, it's designed to feed x people" or "that dish is popular, it's a small portion, most people order it with or "just so you know this pancake is filled, it may look raw in the center, but I'm actually it's cooked to temp and what you see is the filling", we're communicated as it's not evident from the menu or the pricing. As a cherry on top, two waiters who were not assigned to our section used our section as an escape room to text while avoiding the eyes of management...they literally behaved as if we were not sitting there dining. This is the first time in a long time, I've felt in more ways than one like an invisible diner. Unfortunately at this pricepoint, the bulk of our experience was underwhelming, but I wish them the best, and hope this was a one off. Everyone is entitled to an off day now and again.

Wow! The service, the food, the variety, and attention to the customer was phenomenal! This place is absolutely beautiful on the inside and it was just a perfect spot for the girls and I to enjoy a lovely Sunday brunch! Not only did we get exceptional service, the chef came out and explained the food to us and just gave an exceptional level of service that you really only expect from high end and even more expensive locations.

Wow! My review is for a dinner in a private room. We stuffed too many people in the room but the staff handled it beautifully. We had a prix fixe menu with choices for apps, entrée and dessert. Everyone started with a trio of vegetarian bruschetta which were delicious. Then I had an amazing green salad, a vegetarian pasta (but I tasted their salmon which even the steak eater to my right said was the best choice). And then I attempted death by chocolate with their delicious mousse. The staff was excellent. The food was amazing and then we walked a smidge of it off by strolling through (the now closed) mall back to our hotel. read more

This place is so delightful and beautiful! What really made me want to try this restaurant was the website. Their attention to accessibility is wonderful to see. There are many disabled parking spots near the entrance, and the layout of the space is wheelchair friendly. The staff is also kind and accommodating. It seems like the menu changes seasonally, so I am excited to try out different menus. The only thing that needed fixing was whatever the bread was being cooked on, as it tasted burnt every time. The dessert, however, was absolutely spectacular! I also really appreciated that the wine was created in their own vinyard. read more

I was in Houston for work and this was one of the first places that I was recommended to try. There are a lot of healthy food options and everything that I ordered tasted so fresh. It is located in the Galleria Mall near saks, very easy to locate and it is so aesthetically pleasing. The restaurant is open and very airy, and I believe I saw a room that is reserved for special occasions. The staff is super polished and attentive, I felt very taken care of. I ordered the little gem salad and salmon and it was amazing, it came out super fast. I, also, ordered the truffle fries as a treat, they were soo good! It is a fancier restaurant and a little bit of a higher price point for your average mall restaurant but I would def go back. read more

Fig & Olive is a upcale chain that focuses on Mediterranean flavors. With several locations in Houston, New York and Chicago every location excels at providing excellent food and ambiance. I've been to several of the locations in New York City for Jazz Brunch or a Client Dinner, and was excited when I saw that there is a Houston location. Went in for a casual brunch on a rainy afternoon and it was warm and bright inside the restaurant. For an entree I went with the egg white omlet with spring vegetables which came served with Roasted Potatoes and a small salad. Fig &Olive's house rose is excellent; it is not too sweet and has subtle peach and berry flavors. I don't remember my servers name but he was great! Very personable and fun to talk with! read more

Impromptu late lunch on a Sunday led us to Fig & Olive. TBH, we weren't planning to dine here so we didn't come with proper clothing attire. Nonetheless, we were immediately greeted and sat at our table. I really appreciated that there was no judgement there! Food and service were great. I feel that the burger and riviera crostini's were a bit on the salty side, but still just as tasty! We ordered three crostinis and they were perfect palate starters! Then the hubs and I shared the Fig & Olive Burger! They top it with a thick cut only bacon on the top outside of the burger, an interesting choice. Overall, I'd say it was a great impromptu lunch date! PSA: they also sell their olive oils in house as well as their wines. A perfect date spot or to celebrate an occasion with good open air seating and great for groups. read more

I visited Fig & Olive today with some colleagues for lunch, the restaurant is in Galleria area and they have valet parking if you don't want to park in in the mall , it's well decorated and they have also outdoor sitting which is nice . We all order lunch prices fix menu ( 30$ for appetizer and enteree) and ordered some crostini for the table where really good . My appetizer was Baby Arugula Salad and I liked it , my colleagues ordered Mushroom Croquettes and Tuna meatballs and they were really good too. My main was salmon burger and I didn't really like it . The food potions are big so it will be lots of food when ordering both appetizers and entree. read more

Not the ideal place for brunch. No waffles here, probably no potatoes either. The bacon is a thicker cut, but they didn't seem to deliver the crispy as requested. (I didn't try it) (Full experience) I ordered the Avocado toast with egg added extra crispy bacon on the side. However that bacon was not delivered. And the toast is served on bruschetta bread that's challenging to cut or bite off and chew. No thank you. Jordan was a perfect waiter. He was the best and most pleasant of this visit. When I do come back it's because of Jordan, not the cook. The avocado also had like a green garnish in it that I didn't much care for. The egg was great. Jordan offer to replace the dish to be served with the bacon. As well allow me to to hold on the the first one delivered as a complimentary. But I wasn't going to enjoy it so I did pass. (Note)::::: Menu entrées cannot be substituted but can have add-ons. ((Example)) Like you cannot substitute the chorizo from the egg omelette for bacon. But you can pay extra $7-$12 for bacon and you will still be charge for the chorizo with the omelette. Which is very unnecessary to me. read more

The easiest way to park is to just pull into the front and have your car valet parked for $11. Our server, Luis, was absolutely fantastic!

Came here for Houston Restaurant Month! Loved that they had so many vegetarian options on the price fixed menu. I had the pickled watermelon, tomato, and Burrata salad as my appetizer! This was definitely the star of the show. It was so flavorful and colorful. I could've had three servings. For my entrée I had the summer risotto. Although the rice was slightly undercooked the dish was delicious. I'd rather have slightly undercooked risotto than mushy risotto For dessert I had the flowers chocolate cake. Talk about decadent and rich. I could only eat a few bites because it was so rich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is charming and the service was top-notch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was also fortunate enough to try the wild mushroom croquettes. They were absolutely delicious. Our waitress checked in on us 3 to 4 times during each course.

This restaurant is located in the Galleria area, Valet parking is available! This restaurant is very well decorated, elegant and would be a cute lunch or date night with friends or a significant other any time of the year but definitely for spring with its cute outdoor seating! Came here with one of my friends for brunch on a Sunday and the items that we had were super yummy !!! A lot of the food off the menu can be eaten individually or shared with others! We started off sharing the Riviera Crostini and my favorites out of the 3 were the Burrata and the Confit Caramelized Onions! We then moved on to the Yellowfin Tuna Carpaccio which was definitely interesting but still good! We then tried the Wild mushroom croquettes which was a 15/10 and I will definitely be coming back for these it was AMAZING!!!! My favorite dish out of all the food we tried! Lastly, we had the Spanish octopus which wasn't my favorite dish but it was still good, it's just really my preference on how octopus is cooked. Another bonus is that happy hour is every day! I tried the Cucumber cosmo and it was honestly the only drink I wanted for the whole afternoon! Definitely will be coming back to this place! read more

Had a great lunch here. Were seated outside, had great service during our lunch. The free range chicken was a fairly large piece of chicken breast with enough arugula. There wasn't much season on the chicken, but the tomatoes and the sauce complimented the dish well. There was also this red pesto sauce that was really good. That entire dish was really great and a nice size portion. The Spanish octopus was excellent. The octopus wasn't tough or anything and cooked very well, along with the chickpeas. The food came out really quick and it was hot. Also, enjoyed the Rossellini (the drink), it was on the sweeter side to me. read more

This was one of the first upscale restaurants that I visited when I first moved to Houston. Fig and Olive is a very upscale Mediterranean restaurant in the Galleria. The decor was beautiful, but overall I wasn't too impressed with the food. The only dish I truly enjoyed were the croquettes or crostinis that we ordered as an appetizer. Everything else and the entree I ordered was average. Overall, I felt like the ambiance and service was good, but I honestly wasn't blown away by the food. read more

It doesn't take much for me to give a restaurant a five star review. If your food is good and I experience good service and the atmosphere is fresh and clean I don't see why I wouldn't give it a 5 star. This restaurant delivered on a nice lunch with a friend for dine in. They have inside and outside seating. I've always heard wonderful things about this restaurant and they are true! The food is delicious. I ordered the lamb on the skewers and it was cooked perfectly. Stopped in for a quick bite at the bar for lunch. The service was good the atmosphere was nice and quiet.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is nice, greeted and sat promptly, the host gave us an option on where to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the labneh dip which was good, one of the pita pieces was burnt but overall tasty. We also got three crostinis and the burrata, all were good. For main we got the strip steak and paella, the steak was very good and the paella was very over cooked and lacking flavor. We order the chocolate cake for dessert but got brought out the cheesecake, not my favorite but my husband seeming liked it. read more

Really pretty restaurant to go to for brunch/lunch! The food was pretty good and had a relaxed atmosphere with soft music playing in the background. They first serve complimentary bread. Super crispy and thin. Toasted perfectly with just the right amount of oil. I got one of their non-alcoholic drinks, the Citron fizz. Nothing amazing, just tastes like orange juice mixed with seltzer for $11. Probably won't get again. The rosemary&parmesan fries were really good. Thin fries served with ketchup and mayo. I love a good side of fries with my meals. Next was the sea bass crudo. I am usually not a fan of raw fish but the fish tasted really fresh and the radish and jalapeño gave a nice crunch to every bite of the fish. The ginger broth also gave the fish more depth and flavor. The Atlantic salmon was served with a variety of roasted vegetables and chickpeas. The chickpeas weren't cooked too well and the salmon didn't have too much flavor itself if it wasn't for the flavoring of the veggies and the sauce. Not sure if I will get again. Last but not least, their apple tart was amazing! Cold vanilla ice cream served on top of the warm apple tart. The pastry had a flaky and buttery crust and the apple added a light sweetness that made this dessert so enjoyable. read more

Sunday Afternoon @ 2:15 Fantastic, Superb, Dynamic, and any other words but thesaurus may have to describe excellent. Parking- Garage/Valet Atmosphere- Inviting, fun, and relaxing Staff- Superb My experience: My presence was well received here. From the time we walked in and were greeted by the host, to the time we made it to our table and was met by our server, it was phenomenal. I personally love impressionable staff members and that's what the host and all the people we encountered that work here were. Anna, our server was very knowledgeable, engaged, and energetic about what the menu had to offer. I'm not sure how the protocol works for this restaurant but all staff members do a great job of welcoming you even if they're just bringing you another cup of water, they're very happy to be serving you. Mediterranean dishes never tend to disappoint me, I can't speak for everyone but for me in general they're always flavorful always delicious always rich and this time didn't disappoint either. I could honestly rave for another few paragraphs but I feel like my point has gotten across if not let me summarize. Great staff great food great atmosphere. read more

Okay, so apparently F&O is supposedly a popping spot. I mean look where it's located--steps away from the Galleria. It's HRW and my friend's birthday dinner, so I'm excited. Our server, Nasim, top notch guy and handled the table well. Manager checked on us multiple times. I had the champs with strawberries until the full party arrived. Good and sweet, but not good enough to have two. Most of the cocktails were in the $11-14 range. A friend ordered some apps, so HRW didn't make sense. What did make sense was the CROSTINIS. They were all lovely. Especially the prosciutto and shrimp. I would eat a whole plate of the prosciutto and the birthday girl doubled up on the mushroom ones. I had the salmon and subbed the asparagus for mashed potatoes for an up charge of $2. Not worth the sub. The fennel was tough and I didn't finish it. Maybe fennel isn't my thing, though. Overall it was a nice dining experience, but I'm not dying to go back. Heard a lot of good things about the fettuccine but heard you should hard pass on the chicken. read more

I went here with some friends and our initial thoughts were "wow it's so cute!" Super cute place if you wanna go here for the gram but food wasn't very good. We all agreed that it was mediocre and overpriced. Not to mention I had terrible food poisoning for 2 days which prevented me from going into work. It's possible that it was an isolated experience because the two friends I ate with were fine. Again, great place if you want to catch up with friends for a drink and snap some photos. Needless to say we won't be returning for the food. read more

My friend and I went here for a fancy girls' night out. We were not disappointed! The atmosphere: very chill/relaxed vibe, but still upscale. Some tables have white linen table cloths, some are a cool gray marble finish. The restaurant and sitting areas are accented with a deep burnt orange leather, greenery, and fun lighting. There is a whole wall of olive oil, of which the restaurant is themed around. Our waiter, Nassim, was wonderful and very attentive. He explained a lot about the importance and history of the many types of olive oil used, including a miniature box set that the restaurant sells as a gift package. He even brought out some complimentary olive oils for us to try after our discussion, including a lavender-infused, blood orange-infused, and aged balsamic vinegar with their house-made focaccia bread. At first I was a bit skeptical, but we were surprised to find out how much we enjoyed them! The balsamic (their house special I believe), ended up being our favorite. The restaurant was open until midnight Friday night, which we appreciated. I always love a kitchen that is open late! My friend had driven in from out of town, and after getting ready it was helpful to find such a great place that was still serving. For our entrees we had made our decisions prior to when Nassim came to take them, but after hearing the house specials we both swapped orders! I had the truffled risotto with scallops and my friend had a paella seafood dish. Both were delicious, and we ate every bite. We did not have room for dessert, but the menu looked great. Overall we had a wonderful experience, and I will be returning. read more

Fig & Olive will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. Fig & Olive is my favorite and will always be my favorite restaurant in Houston. From prom dinner to graduation dinner, I will always dine here whenever I have the chance and whenever I'm in Houston. The first time I went to Fig & Olive was during high school, and I should've written a review sooner, but to this day Fig & Olive exceeds my expectations. Let's start with the interior - absolutely stunning, marvelous, modern, cute spacious layout. There's also outdoor seating. The bar seems like a fun place to have some snacks and happy hour drinks; I need to go during then to sit at the bar. The service is always amazing. It's like old school famous New Orleans restaurants kind of service - unparalleled. Food - heavenly. Each bite takes me to heaven. Every platter is carefully crafted with meticulous detail and plated so beautifully. It's amazing how they transform the same type of dishes into something new each year and each season. For example, the burrata appetizer a couple years ago was on a bed of arugula with pine nuts and light dressing. Now, it's paired with a variety of fresh tomatoes, peaches, basil, and adorned with balsamic glaze and olive oil. Couple seasons ago, the octopus was served thinly sliced. Now, it's laid over chickpeas. The truffle risotto is my favorite entree along with the paella. I don't think I can order anything else but given the fact that they exceed my expectations every time I return, I know I will have to venture out my comfort zone and try the other dishes on their menu. The tart was crispy and delectable. Paired with the cinnamony ice cream, the bites melts and oozes in your mouth. I'm just amazed by how the culinary team transforms each dish. I love how all the Mediterranean flavors combine so well! read more

The second you walk in, it's gorgeous. And that's about where the good things end. Let's back up for a minute and talk about the entrance. Parking is of course that atrocious Galleria Mall parking. The one where you circle for miles and get nowhere? That one. Once you finally get in the mall and find your way to F&O (as they like to call it - not sure that the words 'fig' and 'olive' are long enough to warrant abbreviation, but hey, I'm not the restaurant owner) near Saks Fifth Avenue it's a bit of a conundrum. You see a wall made of glass clearly labeled Fig & Olive displaying some lovely wines, but where is the entrance? Walk further, further almost out the door to the outside and bam! There's the entrance. Hidden in plain sight. You walk in and there's a bar to your left, a greeter to your right. Directly ahead and to the right a patio complete with umbrella seating. Directly ahead ahead there's a bathroom, and directly ahead and to the left is the main indoor seating area complete with sort of visible kitchen through a wall of glass filled with the same exact white wine over and over and over... Booth seats have cushions on them. Fluffy lovely cushions. They didn't seem that clean. In walks your waiter and ... unfortunately he's rude. Pushy. Insulting. Slow. Service is such a part of an experience, it's such a shame in this lovely joint. Then comes the menu. As with all fancy schmancy places they like to make you guess. There's a salmon dish - do they say what kind of salmon it is? How it's cooked? Nope - they only describe in detail the accompanying sauce. The burger? They just write 'F&O burger' and that it comes with 'tomato, pickled onion, cheese, bun, and sauce.' What kind of meat does it come with? Is it a veggie burger? If you ask they'll give you a derisive answer. I ended up ordering this mystery burger to be met with disappointment. The salad was the most interesting thing on the plate. The fries were so skinny they were more like potato chips. The sauce was nothing to write home about. The bun was unimpressive. The patty itself was so hard it couldn't even be called 'well done' even though I'd ordered medium. Oh. And the table was wobbly. Nice cocktails though. read more

I came here recently for a birthday party outside on the patio. The patio is adorable and they have heating lamps to keep guests from getting cold. I tried lots of different apps and all of them were DELISH. I especially enjoyed the fresh burrata served with heirloom tomatoes. The tomatoes were bursting with flavor and the burrata was creamy and rich- yum! In terms of cocktails, I also tried several drinks. I had a cucumber cosmo with jalapeño (the runaway hit of the night), a French 75 (absolutely perfect... or shall I say "parfait?"), and a glass of the (specially made for) Fig & Olive rosé wine. For dinner, I had a burger cooked rare (it was more of a medium rare) and truffle fries. Everything was incredible and I will definitely be back. Our server, Anna, went above and beyond and is a true asset to the F&O team!! PS parking is crazy but try the purple lot- it's the closest. read more

For the HRW summer dinner menu, portions were a touch smaller than what I'd expect from their regular dinner offerings, but everything was so rich and satisfying that we left completely full. Standouts included the Atlantic salmon, the zucchini veloute, and the chocolate cremeux for dessert - each beautifully executed and packed with flavor. Service matched the quality of the food. For parking, they validate tickets from the museum garage, which is a convenient and budget-friendly option--though paid valet is also available if you prefer that route.

I will be visiting Houston for only two days and specifically planned this trip around experiencing Houston Restaurant Weeks. Today, we received an email informing me that I would have needed a separate reservation specifically for the Restaurant Week menu. Unfortunately, by the time I found this out, those reservations were already sold out. We also reached out directly to the restaurant and spoke with Catherine Park from the Hostess Team. We were told there was nothing she could do, and I requested that she escalate this issue to management, as this situation is extremely frustrating and disappointing. The biggest issue is that this requirement was not clearly communicated on the Resy reservation page when I made my reservation. There was no clear indication that a separate Restaurant Week reservation was required, nor was there an option presented during the booking process. I have participated in Restaurant Week events in many cities across the United States, and I have never encountered a system where guests must make a completely separate reservation just to access the Restaurant Week menu. Typically, guests make a reservation and can decide between available menus when they arrive. Since Restaurant Week was the reason I chose this restaurant, this has been extremely disappointing. I will now be looking for a different restaurant for my Houston visit.

Lobster Tacos (5/5): More like a lobster salad packed into crispy mini taco shells, the perfect little bites. Shrimp Tempura & Caviar 4/5: Tried this most recently and loved it. The batter had the perfect crunch.

Valet runs around $6-$10, street parking is metered (I paid about $6 for two hours), and the garage was free and really easy the last time I went. Overall, this is a spot I'll keep coming back to and recommending again and again. Looking forward to trying even more of the menu next time!

The service is consistently good. The staff is friendly, attentive, and professional. That's the…read moreonly reason this isn't a one-star review. The pricing has become absurd. Four basic drinks - Tito's & club soda - came to $97 before tip. Nothing about the experience justifies paying nearly $25 a drink. It certainly feels like Toulouse used the World Cup as an excuse to jack up prices, and if that's the case, it's a pretty shitty way to treat your regular customers. Houston locals are the people who kept this place busy long before the tourists arrived. I don't mind paying premium prices for a premium experience. I do mind feeling like I'm being gouged. There are too many great bars and restaurants in Houston to justify coming back here.

Le Petit Paris

This cafe is truly like the name a little Paris. So clean and well decorated to show the theme…read more There are many different food options and the pricing is very reasonable but we really came on a mission for traditional beignets. And to our luck they had New Orleans style beignets we started with a 1/2 order that comes with 5 but needed up ordering another 5 for the road as I knew I wouldn't be able to get them again. They are thick but airy at the same time I am so pleased we stopped by! 5 out of 5 We also got a latte and this isn't like your American one that has a ton of sugar but stronger on the coffee side and was well done. It is a 5 stars for hitting that goal but it's not something I like so personally would put it at 4 out of 5 stars . But I highly encourage you to try it your self and make your own judgement! Service there was a man and woman very sweet and helped us with our orders5 out of 5 Overall we love La Petit Paris and if we ever come back this is on my bucket list again!!!

We looked at other reviews before going and went with an app we didn't hear much about, but an entree that we did hear amazing things about. Appetizer: everyone talks about the dilly bread but honestly, the puff puff pass sounded better, esp the scotch bonnet aioli. 10/10 loved the flavors together, esp the fried bread with the aioli Entrees: we had the pork belly special and the nono's pasta. Everyone raves about the pasta and rightfully so. The noodles with the right amount of bolognese was such a flavorful comfort food. The pork belly was also delicious but the pasta hit better. Dessert: of course i had to get both! We got the famous olive oil cake and their banana rum cheesecake. We didnt taste much banana unfortunately but the cheesecake was tasty. But olive oil cake takes the cake! This place is a must to try in Houston.

Had a 5:30pm resy, seated outside right away that Saturday evening--it was a full house 45 minutes later. You'd be a fool to skip the dilly bread--a complete fool! The rolls are pillowy and warm. I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem! Until next time, Nobie!

It was middle of week and a group of friends and I had a movie we were headed to, but wanted to eat first. We decided to come here, and walked in to what felt like a very cool little shop in a town somewhere in Italy! Wine decorates the walls, and you can smell all the fresh dough and breads that's bein made. We grabbed a table and perused the menu. One of my friends and I decided that we would get two sandwiches and split, so that we could try more than one item. We went with the the Crudo (prosciutto sandwich), Nonna (mortadella sandwich), and the Pollo Milanese (chicken cutlet). They were both delicious, but I think the Nonna was my fave bc the cutlet was crispy and seaonsed well, and even when I ate my leftovers the next day, it was super good. The dough was fresh and delicious, light, and airy, and I just couldn't stop eating it. Some of our other friends ordered a pizza and the arancetti, and both of those were good as well. The pizza, whatever they're doing with their dough just works! IT was super tasty, quite big servings, and easy to share with 2-3 people. As we were wrapping oup our meal, since it is World Cup, they pulled out a huge tv to turn on, so that was fun to watch the game, eat, and feel like we were having an italian style meal. Looking forward to coming back and trying some other sandos, pizza and their pasta!

Bungalow Downtown Dining

My second time at Bungalow, this time for a friend's birthday dinner and it's clear that this…read morerestaurant is consistent when it comes to good eats! I'll just start off with a quick recommendation from the first visit (because didn't do review that time): the Snapper - immediately yes, if you are not opposed to bony fish and working for your meal in that way lol. Now for this visit I was tempted to get the snapper again but was feeling simple & easy dining, something that didn't require me to use my hands lol. I went with the Peruvian Chicken and it did the job! Great portion, great price, great flavor. Comes with a verde sauce that I was a bit hesitant about, if I'm being honest, but it was so perfect with the chicken and the potatoes. I give it an overall 8.5/10 and it probably would've more if I would've gotten a little more potatoes with my meal. The lobster Mac was okay. The lobster was well cooked but the mac was a standard mac and cheese. Not pictured but I tried from my neighbors and liked: the seafood dip and the wagyu meatball pasta - would likely be my next Bungalow order. They also do a personal s'mores plate for birthday celebrants which I thought was really cute and unique. I must say though, parking cannnn be a hassle. But apart from that, would highly recommend!

Food waited in the private event room for 20 minutes without being served to guests, multiple drinks/glasses broke, and there was visibly no accountability for the several food issues associated with our large party. Gabrielle's attitude towards asking for corrections for your meal was substandard for what you should've received at such as "nice" establishment. The event room was unusually warm. As busy as it appears with the ratings online- I would definitely say it's inflated due to the chef (taste of food) and NOT the service. To have spent $400 for my meal with my spouse- we received a $50 meal with $0 service. Chic-Fil-A has better customer service. GM Kevin, should review the footage of the private party event that happened yesterday for the table of 17 & definitely reprimand, retrain, and reconsider some of this staff. Once he left, the night appeared to go downhill. I desired to have such a special time celebrating a friend's birthday, especially given my first time being at The Bungalow, however, this represents the worst aspects of Black establishments unfortunately. #UpscaleIdeaUnqualifiedStaffUnderwhelmingExperience

I was given the option of sitting at the bar or table. They also have booths as well. The menu is standard for Pluckers and offers a variety of wings and drinks and sides. Staff were friendly but during lunch it minimally was hard to get the waitress for me to settle the bill. The bone in wings (4/5 stars) that I had were flavored well and hot when they arrived. Fries were just ok (3/5 stars). Fountain drink was served cold in ice. Overall was a good experience and similar to other Pluckers's experiences I've had. Large open parking lot. Will return!

Love the modern look of Fig & Olive. Finally made it to it's brunch. The restaurant is clean and inviting. The way how they decorated the bar just made me wanting to order all their drinks. You can either valet or park in the McCue parking lot and take the escalator up, easy to find. We are here on Sunday, they have a band playing jazz music, very relaxing and soothing. Service might be bit slow since they are super new, but the staff were very attentive. Dishes we had: 1. Complimentary bread: Loving it. The impressive part is the different kind of olive oils. On the plate with the see thru olive oil, it said Fig Olive, each one taste different, the vinaigrette oil has some sweetness in it. So good. I controlled myself not to eat too much of it. LOL 2. Chef's special Crotinis: Foie Gas was great, Fig & prosciutto is interesting. I wish their bread can be bit more toasty, it would be excellent. 3. Fig & Olive Salad: Veggies are fresh in there, however I wasn't very impressed with the block cheese they put in there. 4. Hamachi Crudo: Colorful display, fresh fish. 5. French Toast: Their special fig jam was thick and unique placed on top of the toast, nice plate display. 6. Cocktails: Moulin Rouge was excellent, they can also make anything to your liking. Overall, very nice high end dining experience. Maybe when the weather allows next time I will sit on the patio. read more

Fig & Olive: Where Upscale Happy Hour Meets Laid-Back Elegance. This spot delivers on its promise of sophistication without skimping on flavor or fun. The happy hour portions? Chef's kiss. Perfectly sized for a light bite before dinner and just right for sharing with your crew. The patio vibe stole the show for me it's vibrant, social, and sparked some great midweek conversations with my family as we kicked off our happy hour adventure. Our server was a pro friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead. With a table loaded with appetizers and drinks, he kept everything clean and seamless, making the experience even better. Now, let's talk price. Being in the Galleria area, it's no surprise that it's a little on the pricier side for a happy hour. While it may not top my list of budget-friendly options, it's still a solid choice for a special occasion or a stylish date night happy hour. Would we go back? Absolutely, but it's a date night vibe for us. If you're looking to treat yourself to a chic happy hour with a touch of luxury, Fig & Olive won't disappoint! read more

Portions are small but I get it, it's their thing being all fancy and stuff, but there are other things majorly wrong with this place, we went there this morning for brunch and despite half of the restaurant being empty service was very poor. I ordered latte and French omelette, both was served cold which is a major turn off for me, when I first got my coffee I was like ok some placed serve their coffee not that hot or maybe my wife is right I drink my coffee extra hot but my point was proven when I got my Omelette it was stone cold. I was too hungry to complain so I ate it, didn't say anything but it was obvious that my food probably had died on the window just like my coffee and that is why I would not go back, with it's price I expected much better quality and service!! read more

I recently dined at Fig & Olive in Houston, and it was a culinary delight! The menu featured a tantalizing array of dishes, each a symphony of flavors. From the mouthwatering appetizers to the exquisite mains, every bite was a culinary masterpiece. The service was impeccable, with a staff that exuded warmth and attentiveness. The ambiance was equally inviting, creating a perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. Fig & Olive has truly set a high standard for gastronomic excellence in Houston. read more
