    Steak, Catfish, Red Velvet Waffles
    Kalia A.

    First thing is first, make a reservation before coming and try to come at the time they open in the morning rather than later so you don't have to worry about the rush that comes between noon-1pm. They open at 11am. I loved the bingo in between music and the DJ really had us rocking. There's plenty of free street parking in the area on Sundays. Overall the service was fine but they took quite a while just to bring our food and we were the first ones there. Our server was nice but when it got busy he did not come around and I had to flag someone to get him. Now let's get into the food: Catfish - 5/5 Steak - 3/5: great flavor but thin & a little fatty Red velvet waffles - 4/5 Eggs - 5/5 Biscuits - 5/5 Beignet Doughnuts - 5/5 Gumbo 5/5: I just wish there was more protein, there was one sausage in my bowl.

    I was disappointed with my experience. They advertised a Juneteenth special on Instagram, but when we arrived and asked about it, we were told it only applied if you were wearing a Juneteenth shirt. That requirement was never mentioned in the post, which felt misleading. On top of that, the service was very slow. Our server rarely checked on us, drinks took about 25 minutes to arrive, and our hookah took around 40 minutes wings and fries took an hour. Overall, the lack of communication and poor service made for a frustrating experience. I hope they improve their customer service and make promotional details clearer in the future.

    Food was good, but service was slow! They were out of gumbo, grits, and red wine. Pros: lamb chops were good Food was fresh. Cons: service was inattentive Loud (more of a party vibe during the day) 2pm Pasta noodles needed 2 more minutes .

    Gotti's is a nice choice if you're looking for good food, drinks, and a lively vibe for brunch in Houston. I have gone twice now (once for dinner and brunch) and enjoyed myself each time. One thing to note, even with a reservation, you still may have to wait a bit to be seated. Our reservation was for 2:30 pm and we were not seated until 3 pm due to a large party ahead of us. It wasn't the worst thing, we used the time to look over the menu, but at the same time there isn't much of a waiting area inside so you'll likely be in the way of a lot of the in and out traffic. There also really isn't a bar area, so it was maybe 4-5 parties all bunched up near the front. Once seated, the atmosphere is very upbeat and fun which is great for a brunch where you want the vibes but maybe not the large crowd of people. It can get very loud, though, as there is a DJ and an MC on the mic. They both add to the energy, but I found myself practically shouting to talk to my two friends at a four-top table. They also had a segment where they gave out free shots which is cool, they've done this both times I was there. I'd recommend you to know what you want when you sit down, because even though that was our strategy we still ended up waiting another 30 minutes for even our mimosa tower to come to the table. We also ordered hot lemon pepper wings, beignet bites, and Cajun balls. Actually, received a second complimentary order of the beignet bites due to the wait which was appreciated. We all ordered the fried catfish, shrimp, and grits with an order of collard greens on the side. FIRE. Parking is another minor (or major) inconvenience but it's due to the location. Very typical for Houston, different lots charge different prices for parking especially when there are events going on, so you may drop about $20-30 before you even get to the door. Give yourself a little extra time to figure that part out. Overall, Gotti's brunch is worth the visit if you're looking for great food, good drinks, and a high energy vibe. Just know it might come with a bit of a wait and a lot of noise.

    When we walked into Gotti's, the vibe shifted to "quaint but cool," the kind of spot you low-key root for as soon as you sit down. Now, do I wish they had a real bar? Yes, because I am a bar-girl at heart. But the service-area bar came through for us anyway, and it turned into VIP seating to watch everything behind the scenes. They had Tuesday specials going, so we grabbed Espolòn Blanco shots -- one with salt, one with sugar. And here's the kicker: Their salt is colored blue. Most places color the sugar. Gotti's understood the assignment but rewrote it. Shoutout to the crew because service was tight: Angela -- the manager holding it all together. Daphne -- light-skinned with red hair, made our shots with love and wrist action. Zoe -- bun high, checkout smooth, no notes. They were ready for us to take the shot, so I had to stop talking mid-sentence -- priorities.

    I've been here twice now, and I must say I truly enjoyed the food. Everything we've ordered the flavor was on point, and the drinks are divine. We've tried their multi - flavored mimosas and other cocktail drinks. The service is always great, and the music will definitely put you in a party mood. The whole area is really a one stop shop for all things fun - I could truly see a restaurant/pub crawl event. ;)

    Stopped in for a late night happy hour not expecting much but my friend and I were blown away by how great and tasty the food was! Our waitress Daphne was also exceptional and very attentive despite being the only waiter on staff. Already planning to come back to try more drinks, the entrees/rest of the menu.

    Came here as it was next door to Warehouse Live where we were catching a Dean Lewis and Forest Blakk concert. Glad we chose it because food was served quickly and delicious! Marcus was a great server, and the atmosphere with tvs of music videos was so fun! In and out in less than 30 minutes!

    My friends and I came to Houston for spring break and we were looking for a fun brunch spot. Gotti's came highly recommended and we definitely had to try them out. We had a 10/10 experience. The food and the vibes we had were top tier. Our waitress was great, she gave her recommendations and help us navigate through the menu. The DJ was playing all the best music creating a fun atmosphere. The Red Velvet waffles and chicken were amazing! The softness of the waffle paired well with the juicy crunchy chicken wings. I love how they gave us actual chicken wings versus how most places give chicken tenders. All in all if I'm back in Houston, Gotti's is number one on my list to visit again.

    MAKE A RESERVATION OR YOU WILL BE WAITING! I was in town for AfroTech 2024 and, of course, had to check out a brunch spot. I asked my friend who lives there for a recommendation, and she told me that Gotti's was the perfect place for brunch--and she was absolutely right! Parking wasn't the easiest; I recommend taking a rideshare or carpooling since it's mostly street parking in the area. Once inside, I found the restaurant to be quaint and cozy, creating an inviting atmosphere. The waitress was incredibly kind and helpful, making the experience even better. I have to say, the crab cakes at Gotti's were the best I've ever had! They were the perfect combination of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside--absolutely divine. We loved them so much that we ordered a second round, and they came out just as perfectly cooked as the first. It's clear that the quality at Gotti's is consistently outstanding. Indulging in their exquisite duo of lump crab cakes was a culinary experience like no other. Each bite was bursting with succulent crab meat, delicately seasoned, and drizzled in a delightful Cajun sauce. I truly savored the richness of every mouthful. If you're a crab cake lover, this is a must-try! The mac & cheese was absolutely delicious! The creamy, decadent cheese sauce enveloped perfectly cooked noodles that had just the right amount of bite. Each forkful was a delightful blend of rich, velvety goodness, creating a comforting dish that was incredibly satisfying. The flavors blended harmoniously, making it hard to resist going back for more. It's the kind of mac & cheese that warms your soul and leaves you craving another helping! The waffle was unfortunately disappointing; it gave off a frozen, microwave vibe instead of the fresh, homemade quality I was hoping for. I was also a bit let down that the chicken wings came separately and not attached, but I have to give credit where it's due--the chicken itself was delicious. The scrambled eggs were decent but not exactly my style. They were fluffy and cooked well, yet they just didn't hit the mark for me personally. As for the breakfast potatoes, they left something to be desired. They were quite thick and had more of a wedge vibe than what I typically expect from breakfast potatoes. They also lacked seasoning and crispiness, so I wouldn't order them again. Overall, my experience was good, but I doubt I'd go back. The vibe of the place felt too much like a breakfast club, and the music was so loud that my friends and I struggled to hold a conversation. It was challenging to engage with each other, and even the waitress was hard to hear. When we finally left, we felt a sense of relief to escape the overwhelming noise. I understand they want to create a fun brunch atmosphere, but it crossed the line into an environment where communication felt almost impossible. It's a shame, as I was looking forward to a great meal and time with friends!

    Sunday Funday with the girls! Reservations are a must because this place is jumpin! Great atmosphere. Decent food. Service was only okay due to long wait times. I tried the shrimp and grits with waffles (because breakfast is meant to be sweet & savory). We got a mimosa tower because why not? Overall I would come back again because of the atmosphere and food but not anytime soon.

    Saturday night at 6 pm. Be advised music is LOUD. Not upset by it, just did not know it would be like this. Gumbo - shut the hell up, because this was LIT. Roux absolutely perfect, bold, great flavor. Boudin balls - YUM....could have eaten all 3 of these, hated to share. Catfish bites - seasoning was super, only downside was fish was a little tough, maybe fried too long? Service was excellent. Will be back to try some of the entrees, they ALL sound amazing!

    Catfish and crawfish Mac and cheese

    This place was a complete vibe, especially after the disaster I just experienced in Chicago. The music was blasting, TVs were on and smiles on all the faces at every table even at 1140 damn near closing time. Everyone was super friendly and the food....i had catfish and Mac and cheese with crawfish and my spouse had an impossible burger, everything was really good! I appreciate y'all making good food until you close you had no idea how amazing it was after the day we had. Highly recommend, for good food and good vibes. ***don't mind my picture I tore into it

    How is the parking situation?

    Is the vibe good for a birthday for a 45 year old plus 10 guests?

    Yes the vibe would be great and the DJ will be on point

    Is it kid friendly?

    There were children there on the day I went for brunch. In my opinion, I wouldn't bring a child. The music is unedited and the crowd is having adult fun. Cursing, twerking, not kid friendly to me, but I did see all ages.

Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.

We got the three course dinner, which was $60 each plus tip. The food was good but did not feel like it was worth the price. For appetizers, we got the Mochiko Chicken and Crispy Pork Belly in Pasilla Sauce. We liked the chicken a lot, and it came with a sweet mango chutney and spicy mayo sauce. The pork belly was alright. It was pretty standard. For entrees, we got the Singaporean Shrimp Laksa and Nigerian Suya Skewers. I liked the noodles and curry, but the fish cakes were not that appetizing. The skin was much bigger than the meat inside, so it would weirdly inflate or deflate. The shrimp came with their tails on, so I got my hands slimy with curry. I did not personally try the beef, but I was informed it was a 3.85/5 and 4/5 with the sauce. The laksa was a decently sized portion, but the beef was quite the small portion with a few chunks and a bit of rice and tomatoes. For dessert, we enjoyed the Orange Torta Caprese and New Orleans Bourbon Bread Pudding. I was kind of confused why the chocolate cake was called torta. It was very small but nice and rich. The orange flavour was strong. The bread pudding, on the other hand, was very big. Although it wasn't pudding. There was a large piece of the bread in whole form. It was delicious. I did not taste bourbon.
