    Listen let me tell you this every dish my daughter and I had was a 10 out of freaking 10!!!!! That chef kissed that food just right !!! I had been wanting to try the place for while as we been to their sister restaurant "honey hole" nearby so came over to Prey and we did not leave disappointed at all !!! In fact already planning a return !! So beautiful and upscale looking ...... Check out our dishes below !! It was very quiet in terms of ppl Saturday at about 1240 but the playlist was perfect and the volume level just right !! Those suya lamb chops my God !!

    We needed a place to eat before the Cowboy Carter concert so we checked out Prey on Post Oak and really enjoyed the experience. The dark, moody ambiance gave it a cool vibe, and the service was attentive and friendly throughout. The menu is on the smaller side, but everything we tried was packed with flavor. I mean, like, really packed. Seasonings and butter, my two favorite food groups. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the oxtail empanadas were good, and the mac and cheese was macin' and cheesing. Prices are on the higher end, but that's expected for the area. Bonus: it's right above Original Ninfa's. Great spot if you're looking for rich, flavorful food in a stylish setting.

    I went on a Sunday for brunch, and it was a vibe. I will say the service wasn't great. Not that they were mean or anything, but it just seemed a little chaotic--maybe we had a new waiter or something. The food also took a while to come out. That being said, the food was absolutely delicious. The portions were a bit on the smaller side, but the flavors were great. Acadian Shrimp & Grits: 9/10 It was really good! I especially liked the incorporation of spicy andouille sausage and crawfish into the grits. The shrimp were nice and crispy, and the flavor was there. However, I do wish the grits had a bit more flavor and spice throughout, and they skimped a little on the sausage and crawfish. I also got a side of catfish, which was well-seasoned, though it could've been crispier. Surf & Turf: 9/10 It had pretty much the same flavor profile, although it was a lot more filling. The oxtail was mouthwatering and tender--one of the best ways I've seen oxtail cooked in fine dining. Overall, this place is great if you want a brunch vibe and some good food. I'd just recommend ordering an appetizer or side to fill you up. P.S. They also have a lot of great alcoholic drinks lol

    This place is cute, but I wouldn't go back. The cheapest item on the menu was $47, and the food wasn't great enough to justify the price. The server asked if we were celebrating anything, and we mentioned it was our anniversary--but they didn't acknowledge it at all. It was a bit awkward. I ordered the lamb chops, which arrived pretty cold. They were served on a wooden plate with a bunch of greens, and the fried rice wasn't great--3/10. My husband got the hibachi pasta, which was disappointing as well--4/10. There was nothing "hibachi" about it.

    Delicious! Very knowledgeable server! And they had hookah!!! An amazing playlist going. The chef came out for a second and he was hilarious. 100000% worth the price very very good

    Prey is a fine dining restaurant that impresses from the moment you walk in. With a business casual dress code, it sets the tone for an elevated experience, so come dressed accordingly. We chose Prey to celebrate a birthday, and from the start, our waiter was exceptionally kind, offering great recommendations for both food and drinks. I opted for their signature lamb chops, which arrived as a beautifully plated dish of four succulent lamb chops on a bed of seasoned rice. The savory sauce drizzled on top was perfectly balanced, adding a rich depth to the flavors. During the day, the restaurant is bright and airy due to natural lighting, but in the evening, the lights are dimmed for a more intimate ambiance. One unique aspect is the open kitchen, which allows diners to see the chefs in action. However, being so close to the kitchen, it did get noticeably warm and humid in the dining area. While the open concept is interesting, we left smelling of the grill and barbecue - something I wish was less noticeable with a private kitchen setup.

    Server was great, but the greatness stops there. First thing I was greated with was a leaky ceiling that dripped water on my pants. Ordered a Sprite to drink because the cheapest non alcoholic drink was a lemonade ($7) or a soda ($4). I assumed free refills--no, they don't have a fountain. They used cans, flight attendant style. You get a glass of Sprite that the first half of the can was used on someone else's cup an hour ago. Crab hash was okay at best. HEB hashbrowns that were soggy and oily and no crab in sight. And to top it off -- 3% credit card transaction fee. Not even gas stations do that anymore. Skip this place.

    Came to Prey and sat at the bar for 2. Bartender was super sweet and we ordered a lychee martini and it was delicious. The ambiance was nice and they were playing great rnb music for the night. There was hookah available for outdoor seating which you have to walk by all the smoke/hookah to enter into the front entrance. (Probably not great for kids or babies to breathe in) Let's get into the food. (I've dropped photos for reference) - We ordered the oxtail empanadas and I was super excited for these until I broke one in half and I see 99% air and 1% oxtail. From the oxtail I was able to find, the taste was good so I was disappointed on why more than half of the empanadas were close to being empty. Mind you this dish was $16... for air. - our main we ordered the filet king. This was a surf and turf with crab meat, shrimp and scallop. Once we got our dish delivered, we noticed there was no scallop. We ask our bartender to check in with the chef and she comes back to tell us that the chef informed her that they ran out, so he's making us more shrimp. We were thrown off by this because we weren't told about the dish missing scallop until after we had said something/noticed it. The food runner who delivered the dish didn't mention a word about the missing ingredient. We didn't want more shrimp so we politely declined and asked for the scallop to be taken off the tab for the night which they did. Steak was on the thinner side but the flavor and sauce on the steak was delicious. Price was $75. - Side of Truffle Mash, great mashed potatoes, but there wasn't even the smallest hint of truffle.... Price: $11 Truthfully the food wasn't bad in terms of taste. It was just disappointing because the food was not as advertised. The food runners looked like they weren't approachable. And forgot to mention, the women's bathroom had no light switch. So it was completely dark with one toilet stall wrapped in a trash bag. We even tried to activate the light sensor by walking around and jumping throughout the bathroom but nothing happened. There was also an auto 20% gratuity which made no sense for 2 people at the bar.. we were not told of the auto grat until we checked the receipt. All in all, very overpriced for the way the restaurant operated.

    My first time here at PREY . Drinks were A1 . No complaints on that . But let's get into this food . Starting with the crawfish fondue - literally it gave Velveeta with a can of rotelle and crawfish with melted mozzarella on top. The mozzarella cheese that was actually on top was barely melted.. I'm gonna rate that a 3 out of 10. For the oxtail empanadas when they walk out the plate, the oxtail empanadas didn't have any oxtail meat in it, but overall the taste was about a 6 out of 10. I really don't have high expectations. Don't label something as a fondue and it's not a fondue. They definitely could've did better with the empanadas but overall the drinks were the best part if I were to come back, I would literally just come back to sit at the bar for the drinks. See photos . Now, as far as service, our waiter was amazing and the ambience was on point, but I just need the food to match the energy .

    If it sounds good, get it. This was the best experience. Drinks and food were fantastic. The DJ was dropping nothing but hits. The owner is so sweet and very attentive. We ordered a few things and EVERYTHING was superb. We need more businesses like this. 10/10 would recommend this gem

    The ambiance and service were great! But the food was lacking. Majority of our meals came out cold and we had to send them back. The food was pretty bland especially the Imperial Salmon. It also took forever to get the bills. The drinks are also very pricey.

    If you want good food and a nice date night or brunch atmosphere Prey is your spot. My husband and I came here last year for a date night. He got the oxtails and I got a shrimp dish. Both were very good I just wish he had more of the oxtails on his plate...he had 1 big 1. This time I came for brunch and got the shrimp and gritts. My friends got everything else on the menu...I wish I would have taken more pics. The oxtails this time was a very hefty portion and very tasty and def fall off the bone. The chicken wings were soo good and a little spicy which I loved. The drinks are very good but a little pricy I think 18 for a hard liquor drink (but was good and strong) and 8 for a mimosa...that's not too bad. The waiters was great. She had our waters and drinks flowing. I will def be back.

We live in the area and passed by this spot so many times without even knowing The exterior is appealing and eye catching. The whole section of restaurants has a trendy and family friendly vibe. It would be the perfect spot to enjoy some outdoor bites and libations if not for the insufferable weather we have most of the year, but luckily, the interior is just as lovely. It's immaculate, well decorated, and deceptively spacious. There's plenty of booths, tables, and there's even a fully stocked bar and takeaway area The menu offers a variety of delicacies from a french dip, to pecan crusted chicken, to enchiladas. They have lovely handcrafted cocktails to choose from - some classic cocktails and some signature concoctions Everything tasted and looked great. The pecan chicken was more sweet than I expected, but still good. All of the sides were great. The cocktails looked great and tasted good. I did order one cocktail that gave ingredients but mentioned a "thick pink juice" that is made in-house, and upon my initial taste I soon discovered they meant beet juice. It wasn't bad, just unexpected and a little overpowering Our sever was good. Our orders came out quickly and without any issues. We did have to wait a while for top-offs on water. Also, as I was taking photos of the food our server was behind me and I apologized and they said "phone eats first," and I hope that was only meant in jest and not throwing shade lol Some tips: These plates aren't the most shareable, but if in a group I would consider ordering a variety of entrees and sides and trying each others meals If you're feeling something sweet after your meal, consider walking next door to Milk + Sugar.

I wasn't sure what to expect based on the name of the restaurant, but essentially their seafood options are spectacular. And it feels like an exclusive club because the decor and service are both very much high class and special. We tried the coconut shrimp as the appetizer and really liked it. It was lightly fried and the shrimp was cooked to perfection - not under and not over. I would highly recommend this one to start. Loved it. If you're looking for a fair-priced meal, they have lots of salad and sandwich options. I tried the salmon poke bowl and it was so delicious. The fish was extremely fresh, and all the flavors blended together really well. It was like a healthy party in my mouth. It was great decision. You wanna splurge a bit and live large like YOLO? You gotta get the crab cake. Now, how good can a crab cake be? Well, if you're paying close to $50 for one crab cake, you better believe it's gonna be freaking awesome. And alas, it was. Best crab cake I've ever had in my life, no joke. And I've tried a lot of crab cakes in my many decades of dining out. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back many times. Enjoy! Quick note on parking - plenty of parking in a huge lot shared by many businesses such as Kenny and Ziggy's. Only annoying part is several sections of the lot are designated for specific businesses, so just look for the signs and be willing to park a little bit further away towards Taco Deli and Bluestone.

Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in quite some time. We had an 8:00 PM reservation but weren't seated until around 8:30 PM. While delays happen and I was willing to overlook that, the experience only went downhill from there. We ordered Palomas to kick off our Friday night. The drinks took quite a while to arrive, and when they did, they were noticeably watered down. I politely mentioned it to our server, who quickly took them back and brought replacements, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the second round was nearly identical to the first. When I brought it up again, instead of acknowledging the feedback, the server responded by saying it was "just not a sugary drink." That completely missed the point. I wasn't expecting a sweet cocktail--I was pointing out that the drinks tasted diluted and poorly made. What bothered me most wasn't the drinks themselves, but how the feedback was handled. I wasn't looking for free drinks or trying to be difficult. I was simply offering honest feedback, and it felt like my opinion was being dismissed rather than heard. Unfortunately, the food didn't redeem the experience. We ordered several dishes to get a good sense of the menu, and most were overwhelmingly salty. The salt overpowered any other flavors to the point that we couldn't finish some of the dishes. The sushi was the best thing we had, but even that lacked the presentation and quality I would expect at this price point. To be fair, the manager did remove the drinks from our bill as a courtesy, and I appreciate that gesture. However, by that point the damage had already been done. A resolution is only effective when guests feel heard and respected throughout the process. Instead, I felt like I had to defend my opinion and justify my feedback before anyone took it seriously. At the end of the day, a restaurant can be trendy, crowded, and beautifully designed, but none of that matters if the food and service don't deliver. Balboa Surf Club has the atmosphere and location, but in my experience it falls short where it matters most. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried it because I had always been curious, but now I know I won't be back and cannot recommend it. If you're looking for a similar concept, I'd recommend Hudson House. The atmosphere is comparable, but the drinks are consistently well-made, the food is much better, and the service has always been far superior.
