    Salad
    Nida H.

    Decided to come back for another delicious meal. We got the Veggie salad and Thaiger king salad. Both were SO delicious. The serivce was quick and timely. The food was flavorful and the restaurant itself was clean and tidy. Would def come back everyday if i could!

    I have driven by this spot so many times, and I always told myself I would stop by. I finally got around to it, and it was well worth the wait The exterior is very inviting, with a well lit entrance, cozy patio seating, and visible signage. The interior is exceptionally clean and clean, spacious, and trendy I was impressed my the signature salad/bowl options. There are so many fresh ingredients available, everything looked and sounded delicious The person assisting me with my order was one of the nicest employees I'd interacted with in a long time. Great suggestions, small talk, and he made me feel welcome and well taken care of There is a big/long menu above the ordering station with clear names, ingredients, etc. The salads/bowls aren't overly pricey, and for the amount of components you get, I found there to be an incredible amount of value The food was tasty and fresh. Everything was made to order, but didn't take too long to assemble Some tips: Ask someone who works there way they recommend. Definitely ask for some of their sour dough on the side, it pairs really well with any bowl. The fresh/healthy drinks are very delicious and are noticeably "healthy," but in the best way possible Cheers!!

    Wow wow wow! Such an amazing healthy restaurant! Think of this as a healthy version of chipotle & cava if they had a baby. They have bowls, salads & actual plate dishes if you're more on the hungry side. When you first walk in for the first time it is a bit confusing where to order due to there being no clear signage/arrow or line divider saying to order here sort of like chipotle. Once you get there the staff is friendly and offer suggestions and top items most people order. I got the Common Table grain bowl and it was DELISH! So happy I found this and will forever be a returning customer :) the cookies there are also yummy!

    our empty bowls bc it was so good forgot to take a pic before

    it was alright... jk all the food was super super delicious obviously from our photo not a drop was wasted and the ambiance was super chill felt calm and cozy. Definitely want to come back.

    Lemon-Caper Salmon
    Robert C.

    Went here for the first time for weekday lunch. Was not busy at all but it seemed like they had a ton of call in or delivery orders. Every option looked amazing but was watching calories so went with this salmon dish. Man was it good. Was a great combination of flavors and I didn't use any dressing. I don't think I would have changed anything about it. I will definitely be going back.

    Warm Bowl Menu

    Now that 2024 has rolled around, many of us are detoxing and trying to get ourselves set up with healthier habits while eating delicious food. Leaf & Grain embodies both, while maintaining consistency and has garnered a loyal following in the process. They're a stellar option in West U and certainly one of my favorite places to not just enjoy a good meal, but a meal that's good for you. I tend to prefer coming on the weekdays, as it's never too busy in here. The clean and bright interior makes this place an ideal spot for a quick lunch, meeting, or even a small gathering. They have limited outdoor seating and plenty of parking to boot. One cannot go wrong with either a grain bowl or a salad bowl. The Alamo or Common Table bowl has been my go-tos, and the L&G Caesar and the Autumn Harvest have been excellent salad choices. I particularly enjoy the seasonal offerings, which vary throughout the season but are great even if they are temporary. I've been hooked on their hot plates as of late, the French Country Dinner is a real treat. The smoothies are not talked about enough. The Chunky Monkey is always a fun choice, but the Leaf & Green is always a reliable choice. Berry Boost! is really great during the summer time, but the Strawberry Banana is actually a thumbs up for kids. To make things even more awesome, their ultra generous first time Yelp check-in offer (25%) is easily among the best in the area. Plenty of corporate chains do what Leaf & Grain does but very few do it as well. It's hard not to be impressed with all that Deets and his amazing team has done. Their empire has slowly grown to several locations, their quality and operations have never wavered. I am happy to support a local chain and truly feel they're one of the best local fast casual options in the city.

    the salad was ok. the cucumber aqua fresca drink took a while to dispense. they also do not accept cash.

    Greek salad
    Sunny B.

    Leaf and Grain is a great healthy restaurant that primarily sells salad bowls. I do wish leaf and grain had better options for vegetarians. Most of their salad bowls have grilled chicken as the base protein. You customize everything. I replaced chicken for grilled tofu. However, I thought my salad was overpriced for the amount of tofu I got. I ordered the good greek salad. The salad was flavorful and dressing was tasty. Definitely get dressing on the side so you can adjust flavor to your liking. The complementary sourdough bread was also delicious. Compared to other salad places, Leaf and Grain is more pricey with less topping options for customizing your dish but it is a healthy lunch/dinner choice.

    Lemon caper salmon (to go)
    Jane O.

    Ordered the lemon caper salad as part of a DoorDash group order. My salad was delicious--the salmon was well cooked, the green beans/arugula were fresh and overall happy with my order. On DoorDash the meal was listed for $16.98 so a bit on the pricey end for a lunch portion and unfortunately they only sent 1 fork for the 5 orders. That's pretty much the reason for the loss of a star as it was very inconvenient to have to then go on a hunt for eating utensils.

    The pick up are; ordering is just to the right-all ingredients visible.

First, we got there pretty early for our reservation. We sat almost immediately upon check in. Our waiter was in training but did a really good job. Ordered a whiskey sour. Was seated at the bar so I got to watch it be made. The bartender- man that guy never stopped. He was organized and just did his thing. So many pretty drinks were made while I was there watching. The pink one, whatever it was, was really pretty! On to the food. We got two apps, two meals, and two desserts. Husband ordered the Brussels, Steak Frites, and the Devil's Affogato. I got the Bacon covered Dates, the Pizza, and the Sticky Toffee Cake. The Brussels were good - husband liked them more than me. They were good. Had cashews in them. Little spicy. The bacon covered dates. Think this was my favorite bite. Sweet, salty, creamy. Came we three & I had two. The pizza was sweet and salty as well. The crust was so good and fresh. The arugula set it off so well. Def a buy again! The Steak Frites was so good. The chimichurri sauce was perfect. Just the right mount of citrus. Steak was tender and the fries seasoned well. The desserts - don't skip them! The Devils Affogato we had the first time we ate at Sixty Vines. Had to have it again. If you like coffee, chocolate and vanilla ice cream just get it. Restaurant vibe is relaxed and clean. There were several large parties and what looked like a lot of date night guests. Just try it. No regrets!!

Our server greeted us quickly, provided amazing service, and gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted without feeling rushed. I ordered the braised pork pasta, and it was pretty good overall. The portion size was nice, but I do wish it had a bit more seasoning to bring out the flavors. My sister ordered the steak frites, but unfortunately her steak was cooked well done instead of the medium well she requested, which made it difficult for her to eat. Overall, it was a decent experience. While there were a few things that could have been better, the service and atmosphere stood out, and I'd be willing to give this place another chance in the future.

    I might have just found one of my new favorite restaurants in Houston. What a great experience!…read more Recently, a good friend dined here and immediately called me to tell me how great it was. She then text our friends group and said we all had to come together and we did just that. She made reservations in advance as this place is popular thanks to recent Michelin Bib Gourmand awards as well as many other accolades. Walk ins are welcome as well. Our reservation was later in the evening so after a night of bar hopping, we ride shared in which I think is one of the best options as parking is limited here or you have to find street parking in the neighborhood. This place is literally a house turned into a restaurant. Inside is just multiple rooms with a couple of tables. It makes for a unique, intimate dining experience, perfect for a date night. In our case, we were a group of nine so we got patio seating. The patio is spacious and well kept, and if the weather cooperates, a great place to hang. One thing that really stood out to me is the amazing ambience of this place. I was told that the bartenders pick the music for the night from the owners extensive vinyl collection. Once the album is in, they play it in it's entirety. The sound system was systeming and on top of the great company and food, we were totally vibing with the music. Customer service was amazing. Every staff member we came across was so friendly, especially our server. The menu here changes. There are some mainstays, but they like to change things up. Their website shows current menus daily. We were told that family style is the best way to experience this restaurant. I am one of those people that will always listen to the staff and go with their suggestions. Our group went through quite a bit of their menu from apps, entrees and desserts. I loved that our server and staff brought our food out one by one in what they thought was the best progression so we could take a culinary journey. We started off light with their popular Dilly Bread. Best bread I've had in awhile. Next was the Texas Tartare. It was my first ever tartare and it was delicious. We then moved on to Fingerlingin Good which was a crispy potato dish with chili crisp and mascarpone. It was potatoes elevated to the highest level and so so good. Next up was Beer Battered Sweet Tots. I didn't think sweet potatoes could be that good. Our first entree was a vegan dish called the Carroty Kid. I could seriously become a vegan if all dishes tasted like this. It was curried. A bowl of jasmine rice would've made it a complete meal. Next we tried another famous Nobie's dish called Nonno's Pasta. Handmade, perfectly cooked tagliatelle with a delicious bolognese. I wouldn't share this next time. Ok, I will, but it was that good. On to the heavier dishes. First up was the Jamon With Your Bad Self. This came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It was favorite heavy entree. It was high quality, iberico pork steak with shaved brussels and all kinds of other tasty ingredients that when combined made such a tasty bite. We then went to the sea with the Drops of Grouperter. It was good, but not something I would order again. It was a little too smoky for my liking. Our biggest dish that came market priced was the Kick His Ass Seabass. This was a whole fish that was presented beautifully on a platter with all the accouterments to make your own elevated fish tacos. We left no morsel of fish behind. It was absolutely delicious. One of the things this place is really known for is their pies. This was the part I was most excited about. Just like their menu, their pies change up. We got all their offerings that night which they presented on one big platter of goodness. Their main stay and I believe always on the menu is the famous Olive Oil Cake. It's not a pie, but I can see why this is such a popular dessert. I can't even describe it, you just have to try it to understand. The pies we had were the Black Bottom Strawberry Pie, Banana Rum, and the Peanut Butter Pie. I would order all of them again. We all had a difference of opinion on which was the best, but my fave was the Banana Rum. Overall, I was highly impressed with this place and kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to make it here. It had made it's way to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in Houston. I will be back.

    Nobie's delivered a really unique dining experience. The menu is creative, with a lot of variety,…read moreand every dish we tried was packed with flavor. The standout for me was the charbroiled oysters. I usually don't enjoy charbroiled oysters, but these were excellent and completely changed my expectations. Great dessert selection.

Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different with bold flavors and a well-rounded menu.

The staff were also pleasant and attentive, checking in on us and making sure we knew what dishes were new and popular.

Each bite was balanced and flavorful, going well with both of the sauces. The chicken parm was also elevated in flavor, giving a home-like and rich feeling to each bite. For dessert I got the chocolate mousse and it was rich heavenly bliss. The meringue and mousse went perfectly together in both flavors and textures. A wonderful experience!

Bottom line is that Milton's should be your go to place for just good old Italian fare but in an upscale but not stuffy atmosphere. Mark Sayre - the restaurant groups beverage director hosted the charity dinner for my wife and I and 4 other guests. We were served 9 courses family style including a couple of cold plates, a couple of salads, a couple of pastas and a couple of entrees along with a dessert. Everything was fantastic and Mark did a great job of hosting and explaining the wine pairings. The best of the apps was the Sicilian Tar tar. Tuna, scallop and salmon perfectly marinated on crostinis. The Hearts of Palm Salad was excellent, and they are definitely sharable, probably made for 3 - 4 guests to share. Of the two pastas the Cresta De Gallo stood out the most, but the Bolognese was also virtually perfect. Of the two entrees we enjoyed the Chicken Piccata slightly more than the Hanger Steak. On our second visit, Ryan was our server. He had been our server at Underbelly, One Fifth and Georgia James in the past and remembered us immediately and was a wonderful host for the meal. This time the table enjoyed the Chargrilled Oysters and the Parsley Salad to start. We also sampled 4 pastas - The Cresta De Gallo again, the Chitarra with Scallops and Uni, the Lumache with Vodka Sauce and the Sourdough Tagliatelle. All were fantastic. My personal favorite was the Chitarra. In the end we finished off all 4 so no leftovers. We then shared the Chicken Piccata as our only entree. This dish is so good. Juicy Chicken, flavorful sauce, and the Sourdough Tagliatelle was the perfect accompaniment. We also enjoyed two desserts - The Budino (which is more like a chocolate tort than a pudding) and the Tiramisu. Both wonderful. If Milton's wasn't over an hour from our house, it would become a regular on the rotation. But it is definitely good enough to warrant many return visits.

The team behind the popular restaurant Nobie's opened up this tiki inspired restaurant. Tiki bars happen to be one of my favorite varieties of bars so I was more than excited to finally check it off my list. I had recently seen them on the Food Network as well. They share a lot with another popular dining spot so parking can be a little difficult in their lot. You can find street parking or park across the street in an overflow lot. Customer service was great from start to finish. We had just ate next door and our intentions were to come in here just for cocktails, but I couldn't leave without trying some of the popular items. I wanted the most tropical drink I could find on the menu so I started off with the Blue Hawaiian. I saw fire on the description so my extra self needed to have it. I'm a big rum guy so this drink was right up my alley and very boozy with two types of rum. It was very coconut forward with pineapple being the secondary flavor. One was enough for me to feel just right. Since we had just ate, we decided to share the World Famous Cheeseburger. This was a great burger. I don't know if they were going for the smash effect, but it had smash burger characteristics. It had all my favorite things that are musts on a burger like American cheese and red onions. It also had a very nice chili aioli that added great flavor to the burger. I came on another stop for a drink visit shortly after and tried the pork dumplings and popcorn chicken. These were also very good. If I lived in the area, this place would easily be a place I would frequent often. I will most definitely be back!

    I apologize for the low quality pictures but, everything was so good I couldn't wait to eat…read more Nancy cakes are a MUST TRY! The ricotta cavatelli was light and zesty and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. A phenomenal spring/ summer pasta parmesan & pancetta croquettes were crisp to perfection and are a must try if you're a cheese lover like me. Not pictured was their cocktail the green flag which was a 10/10! Service was out of this world. Our waitress was so kind and gave great recommendations! We got seated out in the patio and they have fans they can bring to the table if it gets too hot in this Houston heat but, the vibes were perfect for date night once the sun went down and the small table lamp turned on.

    TLDR: Incredible food, standout service, and a cozy vibey atmosphere. Just as good as my last…read morevisit. Nancy's Hustle exceeded all expectations, even having dined here a few years back. Every dish was unique and packed with flavor. I am still thinking about that juicy chicken, the rich umami duck wontons, and the heavenly marjolaine. The service completely blew us away. Even with the casual atmosphere, the hospitality felt comparable to some Michelin starred restaurants I have dined at. Plates and utensils were constantly refreshed, water glasses never empty, and every staff member was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The interior is cozy, dimly lit, and full of great energy. Perfect for date night, dinner with friends, or really any occasion. I will be thinking of this meal until my return!

    Grilled snapper-$35 and the silver lining- $15. My last meal request. The best combo I've had in 2025. Perfect portion size.

    State of Grace is an upscale restaurant in which the price and decor scream "let's get dressed up,"…read morebut you are in Houston, so a lot of people were in jeans. There were also a lot of families, which was cute, although I personally am not buying my daughter $16 fries. Our waitress was personable and made great suggestions, especially regarding mocktails. This is important for non-drinkers because there are no mocktails on the drink menu, but the bartender will craft something you will like. Even my friend who normally avoids mocktails was very impressed. Apps: Crab Hushpuppies - 10/10: Crunchy, crabby, and came with a fantastic honey butter sauce. Caviar Tater Tots - 6/10: Well done -- they literally whipped the potato on the inside -- but at $37, you are paying more for the caviar, which was missing that fresh, creamy saltiness you normally seek. You also only get 4 tots. I would just get two orders of the crab hushpuppies. Mains: Chicken - 10/10: The truffle sauce was dreamy, and I think they could sell it on the streets. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the dish also came with flaked truffles on top. I normally do not order chicken out, but this dish makes me wonder what I've been missing. Lobster fettuccini - 7/10: I don't think this is the dish to get here. The lobster didn't taste the freshest, and it also didn't have a lot of lobster to begin with. The sauce was well done and clearly made with lobster stock. I would come back, but there are dishes that shine much brighter than others.

    Sigh. Let me start by saying, I fell for the social media hype. I came here to try "the best…read morepancakes in Houston" and I didn't leave here feeling like I got that. Maybe my expectations were too high, but one of my pancakes was under cooked. The others were still just average to me in terms of flavor AND texture. But, I'm a "crispy edges" pancake kinda of person, and these definitely don't hit that mark. Now my eggs and bacon were fantastic, but those are two breakfast staples that are kind of hard to mess up. Now the service?! Oh my, the service was amazinggggggg. I sat at the bar and I felt like I had the entire bar staff catering to me. They definitely excel in that regard!!! Constantly checking in, glass always stayed full, and anything I requested came with a quickness. My griddle cakes, bacon, eggs, and a glass of bubbles came to $47, which is super expensive for breakfast. The price tag just isn't worth it for me to try again, honestly. But I'm glad I came! Their menu is very, VERY limited, so if you're a picky eater you may want to check their offerings first before venturing here.
