Ouisie's Table was the perfect setting for my 55th birthday celebration, The Emerald Affair. From the planning process through the final moments of our brunch, the staff provided an exceptional experience. We were seated in the Wine Cellar, which was intimate, elegant, and spacious enough for our group. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Every entrée arrived correctly prepared and piping hot--which is impressive when serving an entire room at once. Yassine and Adam were attentive, accommodating, and treated my celebration as though it were the only event happening in the restaurant. In reality, they were managing several other parties, but we never felt overlooked or rushed. Our head server, David, deserves special recognition. He went above and beyond for every woman in the room and made sure each guest felt welcomed and well cared for. His professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness helped make the afternoon especially memorable. Ouisie's Table is truly a hidden gem. The beautiful atmosphere, excellent food, thoughtful presentation, and outstanding service made my Emerald Affair everything I hoped it would be. I have no complaints and will absolutely return! read more

Now why have you all been hiding Ouisie's table from me? I tried them for the first time after driving past it so many times, not realizing exactly what it was, so I'm honestly glad I finally stopped in. This place is an absolute gem and feels like a well-kept secret if you're not already in the know. I'm sure the OG Houstonians are very familiar, but it was new to me. I got invited on an outing here and we arrived around 8:45pm on a Tuesday night, right before the kitchen closed. It was pretty quiet with just one other table, but you could immediately tell this restaurant has history. It has that classic "this used to be the spot" energy. I ordered the New Orleans Blackened Red snapper, which was served with vegetables. It was delicious, and paired it with a really refreshing mocktail. Everything hit. It was so hard to even choose this entrée because everything on the menu looked good. I'm already looking forward to coming back and experiencing it during a livelier time. Also worth noting that there's plenty of parking and valet is available. read more

We stopped in and had lunch last week. We had the parmesan crusted trout and the grilled salmon. Both were good, but the salmon came with a mushroom pasta blend that was amazing. We will definitely head back soon for an evening dinner. The best part of the lunch was the price. Less than $75 for the both of us. read more

This was out third time partaking in weekend brunch. Each one of our visits have been equally the same, impecable service and delicious food. The live piano player adds a whimsy to the experience and simply elevates everything. There is nothing on the menu that you can go wrong with. Our meal included the steak & eggs and the crab cake benedicts. Reservations are highly encouraged, I recommend asking for a seating preference as the restaurant places placards on the table with the reservation time and party total. read more

We had our UT Orthodontics Graduation luncheon at Ouisie's Table this past weekend. The wait staff were helpful and courteous, especially Jorge, the Captain and Victoria. The food was good, served hot and delicious. The Main Dining room is big enough to hold our entire party of 100 guests. I highly recommend. read more

This was my first time visiting, as I came for a business luncheon. The environment and the restaurant itself are beautiful, especially the entryway. I loved the cart with the champagne bottle; such a nice touch. We sat in one of the reserved rooms and were served by two gentlemen who were truly on top of their game. Their customer service was excellent, efficient, attentive, and very courteous. As for the food, I'm not exactly sure what the dish was called, but it was delicious. The dessert and the bread were also very good. I'd love to come back on my own time and try other dishes from the menu. One thing to note: parking is limited. They do offer valet for $5, which is a helpful option. Overall, a great first experience. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is a very pretty restaurant to take a special person to or to just meet a friend. The food is always very good, and they will normally permit substitutions (vegetables, fries, etc.) - basically "they aim to please". Met a friend here for lunch and there's always room on a weekday for lunch - the restaurant does fill up in the evenings and on weekends. The server was very pleasant and accommodating with a change order. We just had standard fare today, the burger with fries and the turkey club. Also, a cappuccino. Very reasonably priced for lunch. A leisurely lunch and we sat around for another 15 minutes. Food came out in about 10 minutes time. Easy to get here - just inside the loop on San Felipe. Valet parking is $5 - you could park yourself, but it is a long walk. read more

Legendary River Oaks restaurant that didn't hit for me today. I've been coming here for 20+ years. The space is beautiful, well-kept and great service. I'm certain I just picked wrong for lunch. I ordered the Curry Chicken Salad. I think the biggest miss was the cut on the chicken. Large slices, needed several cuts to get down to a bite. Also, the mix was a bit "saucy". No one's fault. I was thinking more like a true chicken salad. Flavor was there. Maybe as Chopped would say "knife skills". Could also be me. I'll come back and choose different next time. read more

Came here for a company lunch and was really impressed with everything from the decor, to the service, to the food. Started out with the shrimp and crab tower, had the salmon as my entree, and tres leches for dessert. I would absolutely come back for any future events. read more

Houston is filled with great restaurants but Ouisie's Table is such a lovely hidden gem. The food is consistently excellent but it's really the service that stands out. I came here once with my son (who was three at the time) and the manager could tell he was a little bored, sitting at the table and feeling a little out of place. He took my son off for a tour of the restaurant, showed him the kitchens, made sure he was happy - it was honestly one of the nicest things I've experienced. Now I take all my business lunches and dinners here - if they can treat a three-year-old with such kindness, I know my customers will be in great hands. read more

Important dinner for 6 went well: Scallops, branzino, steak Each menu has a wine list in the front, makes it easier on the host, especially with close friends. Monday night special Prime Rib was sold out, we arrived at 7 pm but took our time, ordered at 8, last to leave that evening. Here's what could be better: Decor - recommend something is updated every 3-4 months. Ceiling fans from the 1990s, mismatched chairs: wooden chairs had most of the paint scratched off, newer metal chair cushions were ripped. May be repaint the walls, red dress from 1968 in a glass case looked nice, but out of place. Service: I shouldn't need to remind the waiter to ask if guests would like another round of cocktails, pour wine for us. Second bottle was opened but left in the middle of the table. I had to leave the table to find our waiter. read more

I came to celebrate my birthday/Christmas with a friend. We've both passed by here a million times (though I thought it was called Elvie's table and she thought it was Eunice due to the cursive letters lol) so we finally stopped in. The place was cute and cozy in the lobby. The main dining room is one big room and it seems like it used to be a house. They had a pianist playing seasonal music (and later happy birthday for me :). Rey have an assortment of complementary bread that was unfortunately the best thing we ate all night. We asked for more and took 3 waiters to finally bring it. The menu sounds super exciting but the pictures left a bit to be desired and the flavor did as well. We dined toast style from their small plates and nothing was mentionably good. The calamari was oddly thick and cut into squares which made me wonder if it was really calamari. The oysters Rockefeller were left uneaten after trying one each. The crab cakes also disappointed. My friend did like her edge salad though. They brought a slice of cake for my birthday that was good. Overall it was disappointing. They have free parking in front of San Faldo's or valet is $5 read more

Cute little restaurant, kind of hidden in a sense. They have valet which is $10. Came here for an early dinner so it wasn't crowded at all! John was our server and he was amazing. I had the American Angus beef burger cooked a medium no complaints there. The Greek salad is also pictured. I did not try it, but it looked delicious. Loved my blueberry lemon drop martini. read more

I hosted my annual Galentine's Brunch here this year and it was a success! I highly recommend reserving Cooper's Bin for privacy.

I would absolutely come back with my family and friends for brunch! read more

Ouisie's Table - Trout and lump crab meat - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was excited to try Ouisie's Table for Houston Restaurant Weeks, especially when I saw the $39 dinner menu featuring a crab cake appetizer. Despite some reviews about forced valet parking, we had no issues and were able to park ourselves and walk to the restaurant. The ambiance had an older, more traditional feel compared to the fun atmosphere I was expecting given its proximity to the Galleria. I think I was probably the youngest diner there. The meal started with three types of muffins--cornbread and jalapeño cheddar being the BEST. I shamelessly ate six of them, and the waitstaff happily kept them coming! For the appetizer, I ordered for the crab cake. While the portion was decent, the flavor didn't stand out, and the corn pairing did not help. My main course was the beef tenderloin with vegetables and au gratin potatoes. It was simple and straightforward, but nothing memorable. The potatoes were my favorite part of the dish, though they could have been cooked a little longer for a softer texture and more browning on top as you would expect with au gratin potatoes. Overall, the service was excellent, but the simplicity of the food just wasn't for me. Can I get those muffins to go? read more

Great place to eat. The service was excellent and the food was very good. The atmosphere was inviting and well-kept.

Girls brunch at Ouisie's was a success! When you arrive, there is $5 valet parking available, or you can self park at the far end of the shared parking lot (be mindful of signs). Hostess area is large which was nice, since our group didn't feel squished while taking a group photo together. We were seated near the back of the restaurant in one of the side rooms, which was pleasant and roomy. We all enjoyed our food; the only dish that wasn't as delicious was the hummus, but we filled up on our main dishes. I had the Chicken and Waffle dish (comes with scrambled eggs) and was a good balance of sweet and savory; it also comes with a side of fruit. Portions are plentiful! Service was good, but not great. We didn't feel rushed, which was a big plus, but there also wasn't any personalization. Overall, a good girls brunch spot! read more

A relatively formal spot (white tablecloths etc). The entrees were fine, not particularly memorable. The biscuits that came with dinner were wonderful. I had extra helpings of those.

Wow! What a brunch! We were so incredibly surprised by everything at Ouisie's! My husband and I went for brunch as we are looking for a place to host our daughter's baby shower. We are very picky eaters. Everything was perfect! It really isn't like us to both say that. We already texted all of our friends and plan on bringing our out of town guests! All I can say is give Ouisie's a try. You won't be disappointed! Valet is $5 and not mandatory. read more

I am starting to love everything about this place. It is fine dining for sure but at what I think is still. Reasonable price point (25-40 per person) I ordered the chx fs because its my favorite entree anywhere that serves it and this one did not disappoint. Thin and very tender sliced steak (actual steak yall) battered and fried to perfection that gives that deep color and crunch without being greasy or chewing glass. It was the gravy that was above and beyond. I said to my friend it tasted like it had been whisked ten minutes ago. The little pottery pitcher kept it hot so i could pour as I ate which was fantastic. The mashed potatoes were just okay but i didnt even care because that cfs was so good and i worked up the courage to try that corn pudding and just omg - it had the texture of egg souffle but tasted like savory corn with a hint of heat and was so so yums. Order it. The dining room is tight and I had to turn sideways to get through a few spots even with the tables empty since it was 5:30 on a weeknight but that doesn't bother me either. It is an extremely open dining room so if you want to talk dirt or family drama or business it will be everyone else's business around you but i find that adds to the family feel of the place. Our server Walter was just incredible. On point and helpful and observant and attentive without being intrusive. I would absolutely want to request him again the next time I go! read more

Ouisie's Table - Ouisie 's Original Chicken Fried Steak - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ouisie's Table in River Oaks provided a truly phenomenal experience for our son and his fiancée's rehearsal dinner. From the very beginning of the planning process and the initial taste test to the final moments of the event itself, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The service was nothing short of impeccable; the staff operated with such incredible synchronicity that no guest was ever without a drink or an hors d'oeuvre, and the plated dinner was served with absolute precision. As hosts, the greatest gift was being able to completely relax and enjoy the evening with our family, knowing every detail was being managed flawlessly. The culinary execution was a highlight of the night, and we offer a huge kudos to the chef for delivering an outstanding meal that tasted every bit as good as our private tasting. The tables were set up beautifully and professionally, creating an elegant atmosphere that felt both sophisticated and welcoming. It is a testament to the staff's excellence that not one single guest had a complaint; instead, our friends and family spent the evening raving about what a wonderful time they were having. Many guests even went so far as to say it was the best rehearsal dinner they had ever attended. We are so grateful to the entire team at Ouisie's for making this milestone celebration so seamless, and I will definitely think of Ouisie's Table first whenever I am planning an elegant evening in the future. read more

Romantic vibe for sure, they have jazz night & specials too! They have a wine special for $35 for 5 glasses. That's a stinkin good deal, make sure you call and ask when those specials are or check the website. Freddie was our server and super sweet! He stayed on top of service through the evening. Calamari - it's not fried, it's also not Olive Garden. Hehe. Flavorful and tasty Scallops - 10/10 would order again Valencia paella; not my vibe but feel free to order and share around the table, I would recommend to order for 1 Desert, we skipped because we had so much wine! read more

Came in here with a group and was pretty unimpressed when it came to receiving our main course and dessert. I had the salmon with crabmeat, but to be honest, I can cook salmon better at home because the salmon I got was almost a little too salty. Probably the worst part was the dessert. I asked for the raspberry sorbet and someone else in my group did too. My sorbet just tasted like sugary shaved ice and there chunky ice bits in it, suggesting to me that I had been served a sorbet piece that was several months past its sell-by date. The worst part about the sorbet I was served was the color!! The color was sordid to say the least and it reminded me of a women's monthly occurrence. The sorbet (pictured on the left) tasted and looked like a raspberry sorbet dessert SHOULD taste. I don't know who the kitchen manager is, but seriously sir or ma'am, do better. The servers gave us great service, but unless the quality of food improves I won't be coming back. read more

My friend and I went to Ouisie's table on a Saturday evening for a girls date. There is valet parking as well as self parking available. The ambiance inside is very nice and family friendly. There was even a live piano player which gave a nice touch for the holiday season. The service was pretty good too as our waiter was very attentive. I wanted to try a variety of their options so I ordered the wedge salad, rockerfeller oysters and crab cakes. The salad was very fresh and the perfect portion. However, the oysters and crab cakes left much to be desired in my opinion. Even if oysters are slightly cooked I've still had versions before that still have that fresh taste, which this did not. I didn't particularly enjoy the flavor or it either. The crab cakes were okay, again just not as savory as ones I've had before so I did feel a little underwhelmed especially because it was a place we had both been really wanting to try. read more
