My wife and I just came off what was easily one of the best cruises we've experienced in our 15 cruises. What made that trip so memorable was the incredible hospitality of the staff. Fast forward to today--we're at Hull & Oak on our first visit to the great city of Houston, and Ms. Toni somehow managed to outshine the outstanding service we received from over 2,000 crew members on our cruise! Ms. Toni is an exceptional ambassador for both your establishment and the warm, welcoming spirit of Houston. Her genuine kindness, attentiveness, and hospitality made us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived. She truly turned a great meal into a memorable experience. P.S. We usually don't tell people we're from California... read more

A hull of nothing. The place looks great. The staff is nice and friendly. But otherwise, the food is pretty average, especially for the cost. I had the Laura sandwich, and the salmon was just a blob in the middle, and the egg felt unnecessary, and you've been left out for my preference. Overall, an average spot. read more

Hull and Oak - The Laura Breakfast Sandwich* - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Breakfast today at Hull & Oak during our stay the The Laura Hotel. The restaurant is a cute little space on the second floor of the hotel. This morning we got the croissant breakfast sandwich, two eggs your way, yogurt parfait and a side of fruit. Our waitress Tanisha was the sweetest. She knew we were here celebrating love and her and the restaurant manager sent over a bottle of champagne which made for a sweet little treat. We felt very special and had the best time celebrating this morning. The food was very tasty and satisfied the brunch craving. Chef Ricardo definitely knows what he's doing. We loved having a restaurant that was so convenient and tasty during our stay. Definitely couldn't have better things to say about our experience at breakfast, we will definitely be back! read more

Elizebeth was attentive to my needs throughout my visit. She welcomed me and she was prompt in getting my order in. She checked in with me regularly and presented desert options to me ahead of time to think about. She is very nice and pleasant to her guests. The bar area has a welcoming ambiance which many other guests were enjoying too. Being that this hotel is surrounded by corporate offices, most food places shut down by the time I got back so it was very convenient for me to get dinner here. Dinner options I have tried were the Southern Mac & Cheese and the Seared Salmon Fillet and both were delicious. I also enjoyed their fine wine selection. read more

My husband and I came here for brunch while we were visiting Houston. The place was super cute! Nanyamka was our server and she was so sweet and accommodating. She answered my questions and made a recommendation for us to get the biscuits and gravy, which is a staple breakfast for us. We really enjoyed it! I also got an oat chai latte which was solid--a bit on the sweet side, but I'd get it again. Would definitely come back here for a standard breakfast. read more

Hull and Oak - Indoor dining space - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is located inside of the hotel on the 2nd floor. We made reservations but you don't really need to. It is very nice inside. We sat in a booth. Our server was very accommodating. For brunch I got the shrimp and grits which were delicious & filling. I also ordered a side of bacon. The mimosas are great too. I would say it is more on the expensive side of brunch, but totally worth it. read more

Hull and Oak - Shrimp a BBQ Shrimp & Grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

I dined here two days in a row. The food was all right, but the service was poor and it didn't look like a single person there wanted to be there. This is a captive restaurant, but you should at least nail it on either food or the service. I left my table as briefly as one could to wash my hands after ordering. It should've been obvious what was going on since I just ordered, but to be safe, I left my napkin over the back of my chair to more clearly communicate that I would return. When I returned 1 minute later, my place was cleared and, apparently, they also cleared my order since the waitress had no idea to which table it belonged when it was made. After adding a tip to the check and signing it, I noticed a tip had already been added. Why? I've had about 600 nights at Marriott properties, and have never had a tip auto-added for a party of one. Curiously, the second morning I dined, a tip wasn't automatically applied. As I left the restaurant, the host at the stand, who did not appear to be engaged with anyone or anything, successfully ignored me. The second morning the hostess sat me at a bench whose food debris hadn't been wiped from the last party. I wiped the food off with my hands (yuk). She saw but didn't seem to care. Very promptly after taking my order, she left me the check. I appreciate that so it doesn't waste my time at the end, so I promptly signed the check and placed it hanging over the other side of the table to clearly communicate that it was taken care of. It's remained there the entire meal. Even when my food was served, it was still left there. During my meal, another server brought me a tea pot, which I didn't order. She was uncertain if it belonged to me so she silently stared at me with the teapot. I think she was trying to communicate, "does this belong to you?" She should be using her words so I didn't say anything. presuming she would. After too awkward of a silence I said, "that's not my tea." She grunted (or muttered a single unintelligible syllable) and served it to another table. Not only does it seem like none of the staff received service training, but not a single team member did anything that most restaurants do to make someone feel welcome or want to return. As a platinum, I had a breakfast voucher for my third morning, but gave it to a friend as I went elsewhere for breakfast. read more

Visited for a Valentines Day dinner and the food was nice. I loved the edition of the live musician singing love songs. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We opted to sit within the bar area, which was an open space. The crab cake was good. My favorite cocktail was the Garden of Eden. read more

I did a staycation here at The Laura Hotel and it definitely felt like one! The food from the restaurant inside The Laura was really good! Even with me being on a keto diet, they had several options! The espresso even came with sugar free sweetener options! The waitress Na was very attentive and ensured I got everything I needed! read more

Sunday downtown Houston brunching with my fav!!!! I saw this place on TikTok and saved it in hopes I'd get the chance to go one day and today was the day. Reservations are recommended as the place is small. We were seated immediately and given a menu. The brunch menu was small but the choices were great. Our waitress was amazing and the atmosphere was very inviting. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

Hull and Oak - Three Egg Omelette* - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Hull & Oak (bar side) gave us a whole vibe for Saturday night. We decided to stay in because of the weather and traffic--and honestly, it was the right move. There was a live guitarist, cozy lounge seating, and beautiful views of downtown through the windows. The drinks were solid, and our bartender Brittany was excellent--attentive, friendly, and consistent. Food was good: The shrimp skillet was flavorful (my partner ordered it again) I had the smash burger--good, but definitely a lot of food (two patties caught me off guard) They did miss my request to leave off the spicy relish, though it didn't ruin the dish The biggest issue was the gnats/fruit flies in the lounge area. We had to constantly fan our food to keep them away, which was disappointing, especially for a hotel with such an upscale feel. Overall: Great vibe, strong service, good food--but definitely room for improvement on cleanliness and attention to detail. read more

I know there was a large cheer competition in town but service should have been adjusted for that in advance. Service was incredibly slow and we had to get their attention several times. Food: below meh. I love bbq. I cook bbq often. The brisket on their sandwich had zero flavor, obviously wasn't smoked, sliced the wrong way so the bites were chewy. Hot Mess. Ambiance was ok. Very loud but again, cheerleading comp that weekend. Not really sure it would be much better on a different day though to be honest. Maybe they had a rough day but the food quality would prevent me from trying again. read more

Chef Ricardo's food was great. Just one small suggestion cook to cook. Let those potatoes cook a little bit longer or even boil them until tender THEN throw on the grill. & My girl Tanisha hooked us UP!! Top Tier Service Make sure you ask for her section!! read more

Hull and Oak - The best pecan pie I've had in a while. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

H&O is located inside The Laura Hotel. For the OG HTX Elites, this hotel used to be the Hotel Alessandra where we had a YEE years ago. You can enter from the street level or from the Greenstreet Complex on the 2nd floor. The restaurant is located on the second floor next to the reception area. When I walked up to the host stand, they asked me to go to the hotel bar area to order. The bar was pretty busy. The bar manager, Joe was bartending and he was doing his best to keep up with the drink orders. There were a few servers wandering around, but it appeared they were short staffed. Joe did apologize for the slow service which we appreciated. Drinks: Garden of Eden - I really enjoyed this cocktail because of the cucumber. It was very refreshing! Sip Pink - It was good, but sweeter than the Garden of Eden. Basil Leaf Us Hanging - My bff ordered this mocktail and she liked it. Food: Deviled Eggs - Spectacular! I loved the black truffles. The spicy peppers were a bit too hot, but the flavors complimented each other well. Brussels Sprouts - They had a nice char and were tasty. Seared Salmon Filet - This dish was good. It came with mashed potatoes and a Creole piperade. Collard Greens - Nice flavor and the portion was huge! We ordered two bowls because the server said the bowl was small, but one portion would have been plenty. Jambalaya Rice - My bff ordered this, but I didn't try any. On my second visit, we went straight to the hotel bar. Sandy was our server but other employees checked on us too. Drinks: Velvet Dream - This drink reminded me of a lavender flavored Clover Club. It was good. Basil Leaf us Hanging - My friend ordered this with mint instead of basil, however it looked different from the one that my bestie ordered. When I looked at the receipt, I noticed that it said Burning Bush instead of Basil Leaf Us Hanging. At any rate, my friend enjoyed her mocktail. Food: Deviled Eggs - I ordered them again because I loved them so much! My friend enjoyed them too. Truffle Fries - Delicious and not too crispy. I've added H&O to my downtown dining rotation. The food and beverages are good and it's near some of the venues that I frequent. read more

Three of us met up here as first timers for brunch. The restaurant is located inside a beautiful hotel with valet service as an option. I ordered the shrimp BBQ shrimp & grits and my friends ordered chicken fried steak & eggs and pulled pork benedict-All so delicious! Our server Tonisha was friendly and attentive but not overly-a perfect combo. It is the perfect brunch or lunch spot for an individual, couple or small party. I plan to return to introduce other guests to my new brunch spot. Highly recommend. read more

Stumbled in here on a weekday for brunch/lunch and didn't regret it one bit!!! They had an amazing 3-course lunch special: an appetizer, entree and dessert for $30. I will say, for some of the particular items, portions are small, but the quality of the food was top tier for the price. My friend was blown away by the Brussel sprouts - I had the jerk wings, burger and peach cobbler pie I believe, and left more than satisfied. Would recommend for lunch. Great service as well! read more

Me and of my girl friends had lunch here for the first time an it was amazing. We had Mrs. Toni as our server. She was amazing and funny. The food was amazing, and the experience was beyond exceptional due to Mrs. Toni. I definitely suggest if you go there to ask for Mrs. Toni as your server. The atmosphere was great, and the setting was beautiful. Although we wanted the brunch menu, they only serve it on the weekends. We came on a Tuesday hoping to have the brunch menu, but the lunch menu was so delicious. We will be back on a weekend for the brunch. read more

Hull and Oak - Biscuits and gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

were in town for Family Reunion & leaving Sunday ( Father's Day). Our son picked Hull & Oak since it was close to our hotel & menu looked good. Once seated our Server/ host was attentive in the beginning. Our coffee was warm and weak. There was a server who walked around with a coffee carafe but NEVER stopped at our table. My cappuccino was Meh. The Menu looked promising however the results did not fit the description nor meet up to the price. Hubby's Peaches & cream pancakes were a little undercooked. Eggs Benedict brisket had BBQ sauce which was too sweet. My Laura's sandwich ( plain bagel w/ sliver of salmon & dill cream cheese, egg) was Seriously lacking in flavor & looked pitiful for the price. My daughter's Croussant sandwich was good. I don't know kw where the Southern Kitchen description comes in. This won't be a repeat visit when we return to Houston read more
