We came in for a girls night, and to try the girl dinner that they had been promoting. It came with Steak, Fries and a Caesar Salad and cocktail, which I think is a perfect combo. It was just enough food. Before we started our meal, we ordered the Onion Rings appetizer, and they were so good. Came out super hot and crispy batter with a yummy aioli for dipping. The steak came out perfectly cooked to my liking, the fries, super yummy, wished I had more! And the salad was light and crisp. I opted for the espresso martini, which again, made to my liking! I also ordered another drink, a vodka martini, which was nice crisp and smooth. To round out our evening, we ordered the bread pudding for dessert. They ran out of ice cream, but it was not needed. This is one of the best bread pudding's I've ever had. It had a nice toasted bottom, and was warm and gooey throughout each bite. I was only going to take a bite, but that was hard to do, so we devoured it pretty quickly. Suffice to say, I'll order that as an appetizer on my next visit!

I celebrated a big birthday there a little over a week ago, and it was my first time, like most of…read moremy guests. I walked in, and no one was at the greeter area at first. A couple of minutes later, a guy walks up, I tell him my name and that I'm there for party inder said name, and he basically just waves me up the elevator. Like I said, it was my first time--I had no idea what to expect or how to get around. What started out as a nice experience turned into "meh" not long after the appetizers, which were good, by the way. When the main courses started to arrive, at least three people in my party weren't happy with their food. One sent her plate back and decided not to order anything else. After seeing that, I just went for a salad to avoid further disappointment with my own food. The bill was the next headache. The waitress seemed to try her best, but she needed help. It took over an hour to get things sorted out. There was no follow-up, no "sorry for your inconveniences," especially on my birthday, or anything. Other than the restaurant's look, the apps, and I guess the cocktails, I wouldn't recommend coming for anything outside of happy hour.

And it did not disappoint. The Bloody Mary's were perfect, snd we started with the watermelon salad and avocado citrus mix appetizers - very refreshing. We had a mix of breakfast and lunch items - all delicious. Waitstaff was very attentive and personable. Because of our lovely humid weather, we sat inside, but patio would be nice also - it's covered and they have fans. Free garage parking is just around the corner from the restaurant, and I would recommend reservations on weekends/holidays. Next up, reservations with my girl gang for the group breakfast board..stay tuned.

Kaila took care of us and her service was excellent, she was attentive, friendly, and offered some great recommendations. While the menu is somewhat limited, everything we ordered came out hot, fast, and really tasty. Everyone in our group enjoyed their burgers, and I especially loved the Brussels sprouts, shrimp salad, and the crab puffs. Parking can be a bit of a hassle in the area, but there is a parking garage adjacent to the restaurant which makes it manageable. Overall, it was a great birthday dinner and I'll definitely be returning.

Came here on a Sunday for brunch. Not sure if it's the location or if the place isn't popular, but…read moreit was fairly empty. Definitely fine by me! Let's get to the food. The Brussel sprouts and crab hush puppies were great. The breakfast skillet, I could have done without. It had absolutely NO flavor. Luckily I asked for some sour cream and they were able to provide it. That's the only reason I was able to slightly enjoy the dish. The drinks. The mimosa was perfect. Hard to mess that up though right? I asked if they had any stouts and if so, if they could provide a sample. I'm so happy I asked for a sample and didn't just order the "one" stout they had. The beer was flat. So disappointing! Overall, the place was okay. I'd more than likely return for their drink happy hour, but it's a hard pass outside of that.

Eat, Drink, HTX…read more Made a reservation for a Sunday night dinner for three. The restaurant is so cute and cozy with tables and booths. Lots of TVs to watch the Olympic Games while you wait for dinner. I liked watching the open pizza oven. They make a lot of pizzas here. The Eat, Drink, HTX menus are a great way to try new restaurants while giving back to the Houston Food Bank. A starter, an entree and a dessert. $25 for dinner. So many choices on this menu. A great deal while helping out those in need. "Started" with the Turkey Samosas. Four crispy pastries that are filled with seasoned ground turkey, potatoes and parsley served with cucumber yogurt. Delicious! The Ember & Greens Soup that my family had was hot, hot, hot and so tasty. The fresh soup was filled with a blend of spinach, parsley, and cilantro with chickpeas, caramelized onions, pinto beans and quinoa. My FIL polished off his bowl! For dinner, we all had the Blackened Salmon. The salmon with lemon butter and avocado salsa served on roasted carrots, broccoli and potatoes and a bed of quinoa. It was a full plate, which we all took home for dinner the next day. Note: it is quite buttery. My FIL had his butter and avocado salsa on the side which worked for him. I loved mine as is. Even though we were pretty full, we still enjoyed dessert. The tiramisu was so indulgent. Loved the layered mascarpone custard, whipped cream, coffee liqueur and coffee-soaked ladyfingers. My FLI had the Chia Seed Pudding with fresh berries. What a great meal. We had a slight hiccup where the appetizers came slightly after the main meal was served, but they were so honest about what happened that I still have to give them five stars for their food and their service. Would try them again for their generous, delicious meals. Lots of parking. Water glasses were frequently filled both with and without meals. Thank you for a really nice Sunday night dinner with family.

Ember & Greens is a nice little restaurant with in door and outside seating. The setup inside…read morewasn't what I was expecting, but it wasn't bad. It was a beautiful day, so it would have been the perfect day to eat outside if you like that. I'm an eat indoors kind of person, but if you like to eat outside, they do have a few tables for that. I was meeting a friend for lunch and she suggested Ember & Green. We really couldn't decide what to order, so we decided to order a few things and share them. We started off with the Persian Cucumber Sald. It had Persian cucumbers, heirloom cherry tomatoes, red onions, and Kalamata olives with oil and lemon dressing and topped with parsley and feta cheese. Let me tell you, thats lemon dressing was delicious! It went so well with the cucumbers. Next we ordered Blackened salmon with lemon butter and avocado salsa, served with charred broccolini, roasted carrots and potatoes on a bed of cilantro green pea quinoa. I'm really not a huge fan of salmon, but I'm trying to like it more by trying it different ways. The spices that they put on the salmon were really good, not too spicy, but also, not bland. It was also cooked perfectly. Oh, and that lemon butter... that lemon butter made the meal if you ask me. It was so good. So good in fact, I had to try and make salmon with lemon butter at him the very next week. Mine didn't come out as good as Ember & Greens, but it was decent. That just means that I need to leave the cooking to the professional. For dessert we decided to share the Skillet Cookie. Its a house made chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet and topped with Amy's Mexican Vanilla Ice Cream and chocolate sauce. This was the only thing that we ordered that was a nope. I dont know what happened, but it didn't seem like it was cooked at all in the middle. We took a few bites, that was all we could eat of it. All and all, it was a good experience and I will go back. I'll just skip dessert next time.

The service was superb with taking our food order, refilling drinks, bringing out a to go box and offering to go drinks. I will say I loved my husband's birria grilled cheese sandwich. It was so huge, flavorful and juicy. He ate half of it there. I was happy with the portion of the chicken fried steak I was given. Since it was stacked on top of the green beans and mashed potatoes it needed some gravy with it. I'm not a fan of it being stacked like this so I asked for more gravy lol They were polite about it. I did like the bacon addition to the green beans. We did enjoy our strawberry lemonade and peach lemonade. That was a nice southern touch. Overall this was a fun spot to dine at. We did go on a Saturday night with no reservation and it seems like it's a place that prefers reservations but there wasn't a crowd so they were pretty accommodating so check online if they're available like we did.

The drinks were great and well made, probably my favorite part of the meal. The food, however, was about a 5/10 for me. It wasn't bad, just a bit underwhelming compared to the hype and what I expected. Everything was fine, but nothing really stood out or wowed me. That said, with great service and solid drinks, it's still a decent spot to check out, especially if you're going for cocktails and a relaxed vibe rather than amazing food.

Well it's 5 o'clock somewhere, so I indulged in a 2pm happy hour drink. I can't recall the name of my cocktail (I think it was the Aviation) but it was a menu cocktail & it was a well balanced, pleasurable cocktail. The Mediterranean Lamb Meatballs were 5/5. The meat was well seasoned & the red sauce it was in was wonderful. Highly recommend. Got the grilled garden salad. The vegetables (squash, tomatoes, onions) were all chopped up so you get toppings in every bite. I also added beets plus chicken which both were also chopped up. I wish they had seasoned the meat a little more but the overall salad with the red vinegarette dressing was very good. 4.5/5. I will definitely return here. I really liked the upscale, casual vibe. Our server was very personable & checked on us many times and the food & drinks were good.

It looked gorgeous inside since it was too hot to sit outside. We both ordered a few glasses of wine and a salad. It took awhile for our drinks to arrive. It felt like forever. So I guess I will say service was not the best. Our salads were delish! We both ordered the Chicken & Avocado Salad. A bit on the expensive side.
