There are several types of seating available. They have a large patio - one section covered, one section open. They also have bar seating inside, regular chairs/table seating, and chair with a half booth seating. We were welcome by many of the staff immediately when we entered. Very welcoming. They have sweet tea! I love sweet tea. :) My Friend had a Bloody Mary. They had a $5 special for drinks. We split the Buffalo shrimp and the Gulf Wedge salad. The Buffalo shrimp (8 to an order) came with celery and ranch for dipping. They were just like I remembered years ago from the Richmond location. I'm not usually a Buffalo sauce type person, but their shrimp with their sauce is the bomb! The shrimp are large, so the entree is great for splitting. The Gulf Wedge has crab meat, bacon, grape tomatoes, and a hardboiled egg. It also comes with red onion and blue cheese crumbs, but I do not like either of those, so I had those removed from my half. I also prefer ranch dressing instead of blue cheese dressing. The salad was a great addition to our shrimp. Very tasty and filling. Nick was happy to make the substitutions for me. Many restaurants have an issue with splitting dishes. I was happy RC, via Nick, did this for us. For these reasons, Nick made out with a 25% tip. I am always a 20% tipper, but good service will get you even more. Thanks, Nick! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, and we will not only be back, but we will tell others to go see you!

They set up…read moreshop in an old Red Lobster, which means you get that spacious, comfortable booth seating instead of a chaotic buffet floor. The entire place feels clean, relaxed, and genuinely fun. Instead of picking through lukewarm trays under heat lamps, you order whatever you want and they bring it fresh straight to your table. The sushi is legitimately tasty and made-to-order. Don't sleep on the beef short ribs either--they've got a savory, slightly salty punch that hits just right with a side of rice. The drinks are solid, and the pricing hits that sweet spot: perfect for a casual, low-pressure date night where you both want to eat really well without any stiff, over-the-top pretense. Left completely full, had a great time, and already looking forward to going back

The Ceviche Blanco and Aguachile were my favorites paired with a reposado tequila and Jamaica drink... Totally hit the spot. Love that they have tequila cocktails with pepino and tamarindo too! And on their typical menu: Baja style shrimp and fish tacos? Yes please. Molcajete? Oh yeah!!! Didn't get to try those this time around but I have high hopes for them

Beautiful and festive decor!…read more I really enjoyed the ambiance and how the indoors/outdoors was set. It's super colorful and fun. Plenty of outdoor seating as well and bar seating indoors. Caesar was super hospitable and very knowledgeable about the restaurant. To start, I ordered the Xochimilco specialty cocktail (Reposado Tequila, Lime Juice, Guava Puree and hibiscus syrup, very light and refreshing). For apps, we ordered the Birria Fries (comes with alot birria meat and the broth was hearty, thin fries) and the Ceviche Yucateco (both spicy fish and shrimp and boy was it SPICY! Chips that it came with were made fresh and crunchy). For my main, I got the Estilo Baja (tempura fried fish, very crispy and the chipotle mayo it was topped off paired nicely with the taco itself, highly recommend ordering this). Apparently, has been opened for about 2 years now and they have another location in the Bellaire area. Parking - a little tight, but they have their own lot Worth checking out!

We will be back and ask for AJ again.

The taxidermied moose heads on the walls felt a little out of place to me, but hey, I'm not the interior designer. The food delivered. The Eggs in Hell were thick, savory, and filling, exactly what you want at brunch. The chocolate mousse was light and airy, properly chocolatey with just enough sweetness. Our server was a bit off the mark, stopping by the table and then disappearing for long stretches, with food arriving slowly and a few items forgotten. But the rest of the team really took care of us, including a manager who personally came over. Worth noting that parking is valet only. Solid spot; I'd recommend it.

Can't wait to come back!!

Apparently, they have some of the best chicken & waffles in Houston, so of course we had to try it…read more We ordered the green chicken curry, half a dozen Parmesan oysters, and the chicken & waffles. Everything was good, but honestly, I wasn't super impressed. I thought it was comparable to what you'd get at other restaurants around Houston. Maybe I'm just not the best judge of chicken & waffles . Our server was really nice, though! The restaurant itself was pretty loud and cramped, and the parking situation was awful. Overall, I'm not sure I'd go back.

Connie's Seafood will surely surprise you with the food quality, portions, value pricing & great…read morecustomer service! After a few dines already, it's already one of my favorite seafood restaurants in Houston. The menu has so many great selections from fried , pan seared, soups, ceviches and more. I especially enjoy the shrimp fried rice, which is offered as a side included with many entrees. Fair warning, the shrimp fried rice is habit forming and Soooo good! I would say the shrimp fried rice is the highlight of my meal whenever I order the fried fish with shrimp or pan seared shrimp marinated in a special sauce which can also be modified with hot sauce. The soups and ceviches are also very tasty with very generous portions. Restaurant tends to get very busy during certain times, so plan ahead to get a good table. I always make it a point to arrive early during opening time to avoid the busy lunch rush. The restaurant staff is consistently attentive and provides excellent customer service. I'll definitely be a repeat customer for a very long time!

Came on a Sunday evening. There were a couple other tables but plenty of seating still available…read more We had the mozzarella sticks and fries for apps. Mozz sticks had a good cheese pull. You can get your fries with or without seasoning. I got the snow crab with sausage, potato and corn. My friend got crawfish. They also have various tea and lemonade flavors options to select from. Both of us enjoyed our food and drinks. Wait time was good for apps, a tad bit longer than expected for mains considering it wasn't busy. While we were eating we witnessed a couple get turned away due to them "shutting down early" they verbalized their disappointed exclaiming how they had driven from an hour away but no reason was given for the early shutdown except; "management says we are closed early" not sure how often that happens so you may want to call ahead if you plan to try them out.

Busy Saturday evening dinner!!! We got greeted right away and were lucky enough to find seating…read moreright away. We started with the combination fried rice w 3 fried wings. The fried was was good, bug chunks of shrimp but I just couldn't taste the wok hei.. the fried wings were big but disappointing as they were bland. We also ordered one of their package deal of 2lbs of shrimp, 2 snow crab clusters, 2 potatoes and 2 corn for $89. We chose garlic butter and medium for spice level. It took nearly 30 mins for dish to arrive. Shrimp was overcooked but easy to peel and the snow crab clusters was ok. Clusters were small with hardly any meat but the legs compensated for it. I know they come previously frozen but they were not able to mask the flavor w the garlic butter. The medium spice level was not there as I didn't get any heat at all. Overall the place was ok

I believe they advertise themselves as Vietnamese-style crawfish. I'm used to New Orleans/Louisiana style crawfish, but nonetheless, I was still eager to try. They started selling crawfish at 3 I got in line at 3:25. Line was small but moved veryyyy slowly. I got 2 lbs. ($11/lb pricey !!) of the hot & buttered -spicy, 2 eggs, and a sausage. It took about 45 min. to get my food. The sausage was decent but ultimately, I didn't taste any spice. It wasn't spicy at all. It was easy to peel so that was nice but I could tell the crawfish weren't from Louisiana waters .Idk i didn't like it, that's just me. It was worth a try though. The lines were long and I only see them getting longer as summer approaches. Still check them out, you just may like it!

I wandered in not expecting much, but my experience here ended up much better than I thought…read more I went with their August prix fixe and went with their Truffle Deviled Eggs, Crispy Sweet & Sour Shrimp, and Key Lime Tart. The deviled eggs make good comfort food and was satisfying. This version doesn't have much of a kick, but it's very creamy and you can definitely taste the truffle oil. The homemade potato chips also add to the texture and salt between bites. The shrimp dish was fun with a light and crispy batter, well-seasoned and drizzled with sweet chili sauce. The cool ranch surprisingly added to the shrimp and enhanced the chili sauce rather than overwhelming it. The made-in-house fries were far better than expected. I was somewhat expecting dense, oily, boring fries, but these were very crisp and somehow didn't feel too greasy as far as fries goes. Almost seemed like an injustice for it to be served with ketchup as it was too good for it. Lastly, the tart was a great way to end the meal without it being too much. Loved the crust. The tart shell tasted really good and went well with the filling, which had a lighter consistency than pudding. Fruits tasted like they were on season, even though it should be a bit too late for strawberries. I'm also a sucker for meringue. I'll have to come back to see if it wasn't a fluke, but there were a lot of dishes here that looked good. Maybe even swing by for happy hour, we'll see. Definitely a nice spot to visit in this neighborhood.

Came here with a friend for Happy Hour and it was a good time!…read more It was pretty empty when we got here around 4 but got pretty packed after ~5:30. We ordered the following: - Mama Pauly's Meatballs - Buttermilk Popcorn Chicken Bites - White Truffle Devil Eggs - Single Cheeseburger Separate from the Happy Hour Menu: - KP's Wicked Wings (BBQ Flavor) - Crispy Sweet n/ Sour Shrimp Out of everything we ordered from the happy hour menu, I would personally recommend the meatballs, truffle devil eggs, and cheeseburger. The meatballs and tomato sauce were both solid and I loved the toasted bread on the side. As for the truffle deviled eggs, that's something you don't see often on the menu! The truffle flavor/aroma was solid and the fresh chips on top were nice. The cheeseburger was pretty good and I enjoyed all the veggies that came with! Aside from that, the restaurant had a neat interior/decorations and good service!

Here are our ratings: Campechana de Ostiones y Camaron: 8.5/10 - This was yummy! It's more ketchup based rather than Clamato based, which is actually how I prefer it Tostada de Pulpo a la Plancha: 9.5/10 - Gahhhh, this was delicious! The octopus was super flavorful and they give you a good mountain of it Caldo de Mariscos: 10/10 - Oh how I missed this! It was just as good as I remembered it being. Super flavorful and the pan tostado was the perfect pairing. It definitely brought back some memories I'm already planning to go back later this week, so I definitely recommend it!!
