    Food- the food was amazing, several things really stood out! the papaya salad, the pork ribs, the red snapper, stir fry tofu are few of my personal favorites. Highly recommend these if you have to pick a few. Drinks - lychee martini (forbidden fruit), strawberry something was pretty good Service - really friendly and nice Ambiance - upscale casual modern setting. In general it was amazing, I loved the vibes.

    My mom and I stopped here for a cute patio lunch. It is Houston restaurant week so we did get a two course meal. However, we did pick a few things that had an up-charge, but totally worth it! I love a lychee martini down!!!! I really enjoyed their martini. The food was very flavorful and full of spice. We both had the chicken stirfry. My mom had the tuna tartare and I had the pork and chicken eggrolls. I think altogether after tip I paid around $180 for the both of us. The drinks were pricey, but pretty good. You pay for the experience and the ambiance for sure. The bartender was a bit backed up so it did take time to get our drinks, but the food did come out promptly. The patio was decorated very nicely. There is plenty of parking in the area. The garage is free and there is paid parking as well. I will definitely come back here for dinner so I can dress up and have a cute drink with my girlfriends.

    If you're looking for an aesthetic spot for a date night or girl's dinner I would highly recommend this spot. However, just keep in mind food wise that you'll be paying pretty inflated prices for elevated vietnamese food. I highly recommend making reservations at least a week or two in advance as the restaurant was completely packed. For drinks we started off with a bottle of wine and espresso martinis which were surprisingly one of the best I've had around Houston. Food: Cha Gio: egg rolls 4/5 they were very crispy but a very small portion Suon Nuong: pork ribs 4/5 these were flavorful and tender Chicken and Cabbage salad: 3/5 standard but nothing special Hu Tieu Xao Bo: Beef noodle stir fry 3/5 Bo Luc Lac: Shaking beef 3.5/5 tender beef but again small portion Snapper: 3.5/5 it was deboned and fish was tender/flavorful Warm chocolate cake: 3.5/5 Fried donuts: 4/5 Creme brulee: 3/5 Overall, we had an enjoyable dinner and service was great. I think this restaurant would be better fitted for someone who doesn't eat a lot of authentic vietnamese food but for me it's not one that I would come back to often. I personally enjoy eating more authentic vietnamese food at smaller restaurants especially for this price point.

    This place has a really beautiful vibe the patio is easily the highlight. It's lush, relaxing, and feels like a perfect spot for a nice lunch or a casual date. I came for lunch and ordered the garlic noodles with medium rare beef and the chicken dumplings. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the setting. The dumplings were a bit overcooked the wrapper was falling apart and the filling had a slightly rubbery texture. The beef itself was good, but the garlic noodles were just okay and didn't really stand out, especially for the price. Service was also on the slower side and a bit inattentive not sure if it was because I was alone? This added to the overall experience. I'd definitely come back for the ambiance alone because the space is gorgeous, but I'm not sure I'd return specifically for the food.

    While on a work trip in Houston, a colleague recommended Le Colonial. This was actually my first time dining alone at an upscale restaurant, and I chose to sit on the patio on a cool November evening. The ambiance inside was lively, while the patio felt calm and peaceful--perfect for a solo dinner. The service was incredible. My server walked me through the most popular dishes as well as his personal favorites, and the meals pictured were his recommendations. I truly have no complaints. The food evoked that familiar "yum" feeling you get when eating at your favorite local Vietnamese spot--comforting, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The ceviche was perfectly balanced in flavor, spice, and seafood, and the piping-hot chicken curry was exactly what I needed on a cool November night. Paired with a lychee martini, it was the perfect meal. Definitely a spot to try if you're in or shopping around River Oaks.

    Le Colonial - Houston continues to sling great food, with great service and excellent atmosphere. Every time I've been here all the choices are very tasty and filling. Le Colonial is an elevated experience to most general vietnamese eateries and there will be an elevated cost to cover for the location and overall vibe. The downstairs area, with patio seating along with upstairs seating that includes a more secluded patio area allows for a variety of choices depending on the size of your party to choose from. The overall design and aesthetic really add to the nice vibe and of course I've found service to be excellent. No to the food, there are a lot of typical Vietnamese dishes you can choose from where you can't go wrong. The Cha Gio Crispy Shrimp & Pork Roll, Banh Cuon CHICKEN & MUSHROOM RAVIOLI are must try from the small plates items. The large plates menu definitely go with the Cari Ga CHICKEN CURRY, Bo Luc Lac SHAKING BEEF, and the Ga Xao Gung GINGER-GLAZED CHICKEN CLAY POT are a must try. Regardless, you can't go wrong with any of the dishes. The drinks are solid and for sure try out their Leechee martini too. Definitely add Le Colonial - Houston to one of your regular spots on your culinary list.

    We came to visit my Mother-in-law and decided to try this place for food this time, not just drinks. Reservations made within an hour of our reservation time, for patio seating. What a great visit! The noise level was perfect, even though the patio was almost full. The server had great timing, as did the food runners! The shrimp and pork rolls, OH MY GOSH! And my Mom can make all these dishes homemade! The spicy shrimp and chicken stir-fry were unique in flavor, though they were both stir-fry. The fried rice was something I could have eaten as my meal!! Now I have to come back and try their Pho!

    I'm writing this review post food coma from my dinner at Le Colonial! We started with a lychee martini and an old Cuban, both made perfectly! For starters, we had the chicken dumplings and tuna tartare. I could've done without the tartare just because it was classically made, nothing overly to die for. For my main, I got the salmon and the flavor was PERFECT. the broth and the salmon were cooked perfectly. Our waiter was attentive and very responsive. I'll definitely be back for sure!!

    Americano with their house shortbread cookie. Delicate and yum.

    $120 for the Snapper! Agh. Delish food. Lovely, comfortable setting. My only complaint is the cost of the Snapper. I should have been informed it was $120 (not by pound) but a set price of $120. I suppose I am also responsible for not asking the price as well. As a foodie, I don't mind paying for delish food, yet I also make my own whole fried snapper and there is No reason to take advantage of customers with the $120 outrageous price for one fish. And I understand table space is limited, yet is there another way to to either have : 1. Cleaner menus (no residual crumbs or sticky stuff) Or 2. Not place the menus on our clean plates so I'm left to flick off crumbs from a previous guest That said, this is a nice restaurant with an outstanding menu.

    Spicy Yellowfin Tuna Tartare
    Anne Q.

    Le Colonial, while exuding an elegant ambiance, falls short in terms of its culinary offerings and service quality. The dishes we ordered were extremely disappointing. Seafood Ceviche - The citrus flavor in this dish was very subtle. Adding more citrus flavor would have made the dish more enjoyable. Also, the taro chips that came with the dish seemed stale and lacked freshness. I would rate this dish 2/5. Spicy Yellowfin Tuna Tartare - Despite adding lime juice, the dish was very bland. And the same taro chips lacked freshness and tasted stale. I would rate this dish 2/5. Seabass with "La Vong" Scent - The fish was overcooked and had a rubbery texture to it. The banh hoi in the dish was incredibly stale, and we couldn't even finish a bite. I would rate this dish a 2/5. Vegetarian Crispy Egg Noodles - This is hands down the worst Crispy Egg Noodle dish I've ever ordered. The noodles were more on the stale side than crispy and the sauce lacked flavor. I do not recommend ordering this dish. I would rate this dish a 1/5. Sesame Beef Ravioli - My lunch date found the sesame beef dry and flavorless, and thought the flat rice noodles had an overly thick and rubbery texture. 2/5 rating for this dish. To add to the subpar food experience, our server was incredibly robotic. While he was polite, he lacked any genuine friendliness. He didn't smile once during our entire meal. On top of that, he opened a second bottle of sparkling water without asking if we wanted it. He proceeded to top off our glasses even though they were already half full. When we politely declined the second bottle by stopping him from pouring and expressed our intention to order coffee instead, he didn't say anything and just walked off with the newly opened bottle of sparking water. When we received our check, we noticed that the second bottle of sparkling water was included in our bill. When we inquired about it, he simply replied that it had already been opened, and therefore, we had to pay for it. While I completely understand and even support the idea of servers trying to increase the bill for a larger tip, there's a far more honest and effective approach. I most definitely will not return to Le Colonial.

    five stars across the board ! service, ambiance, food, and drinks were stellar ! i was seated upstairs in the little balcony room. which was very cute! the only thing is we ordered the fried snapper, and our table was too tiny for the fish to rest upon the table. so they had to leave the serving tray, which was accommodating. the server in the balcony room was exceptionally kind and overall sweet. she was cheerful and pleasant! definitely an all-star server. we had the whole fried snapper, white rice, green beans, and the tartar... would definitely order everything AGAIN! bonne appétit friends

The fancy dinner spot we went to let us down with bad music and horrible drinks and this spot made the night so much better. I got on Yelp and found Atlas which was a short drive from where we are. It is in a big strip of businesses that share a parking lot. This particular place offers valet but there is plenty of parking a short distance from the front. Customer service was cool. Our waitress checked in on us frequently and was really nice. It was karaoke night so there was a lively DJ that kept the crowd interested. It was a weeknight so we knew the late hour crowds were going to be light. The bar across from here had zero customers and were trying to get people in. Atlas on the other hand had a small, but lively crowd. The first thing that stood out to me was the large patio. It had alot of seating with a huge screen playing basketball. I would totally come back just for the patio on a gameday. Inside was a small space with a bar in the middle and a DJ booth off to the side. I will say the booths were super tight and was snug for the guys in the group. Our petite ladies fit in but felt it was a little restricting. The younger crowd around the lounge were sitting on top of the seats. I guess that's what the cool kids do. After paying outrageous prices for mediocre drinks at dinner, this place was very refreshing with good drink specials and drinks that were properly made. I took advantage of the gin and tonic special they had that night. The drinks came out in cool, light up glasses. We didn't stay super long but enjoyed the time we were there. Drinks were good and we got to shake our booties a little. I don't frequent alot of clubs or lounges these days, but I wouldn't rule out coming here again.

We were seated as soon as we got there and the vibe was great. I loved all the Greek paintings on the walls. Music was great. I loved all the photo opp places as well. The egg rolls were alright, it's kinda hard to mess up an egg roll. The drinks were definitely overpriced. The Birkin Pu$$y was just a plain lemon drop with a mini purse attached. The Polaroid drink was hella sweet, I couldn't even taste alcohol. We knew going into it that she drinks we wanted were going to be pricey due to the added novelty items but the drinks themselves fell short. Once we got there and got seated I ordered my drink because I knew what I wanted. I asked the waitress to come back when my husband got out of the restroom. She walked by us several times to go in and out of the patio area. They got a little busy but nothing crazy. After the manager saw us staring her down every time she walked by he came over and took our order and apologized for the wait. But after we got our other drink and food we had to wait to get someone's attention again just to check out. We liked the music and vibes but the service wasn't great and price was just ok for the novelty. I'm happy we went because we had been wanting to but won't be making another trip.

My friend ordered the Lavender Cucumber Collin's. This drink didn't really put the lavender on the forefront which lead to it getting lost by the cucumber, same for the crème de violets, absent. The drink was overall refreshing and tasty to her standards. She let me know it was quite strong also, which she prefers. She also ordered the kale Caesar and really enjoyed it. It was perfectly sauced to her liking. Service was okay. Looks like there was only 2 people working for a midday shift around 2 o clock. But no complaints. Salad and drinks came out pretty quickly.

Cocktails such as ol fashions and cape cods are plentiful here. I also appreciate they do a new york sour here which is an underrated cocktail. Cigars are sold here too and they have cutters and plenty of torch lighters to spark them up. Outside on their patio deck has plenty of seating with some of those heaters in case you houstonians can't handle the cold. Only gripe is I wish they had a larger wine selection as they only have bordeuax or a red blend. Not sure if they serve white wines either. But there's wine bars for that. You're here for the hard stuff or a quick beer, maybe a cigar, and definitely a peace of mind. That's what keeps me coming back!
