We've been waiting for Relish to open for months! We reserved for a large party of 9. We ordered the carpaccio, broiled and raw oysters, crab dip for starters. All were very good. For mains we had the fried chicken, ribeyes, crab cake and broccolini, mac n cheese, and fries. All very good. I loved that this place is more upscale in ambiance and food while still remaining kid friendly. Kid plates were legit tasty options, which was much appreciated by our foodie kiddos. Huge plus in my book. We also had two mezcal based cocktails that were fantastic. The three deserts were also terrific. Chocolate cheesecake was a major hit! The space and vibe I absolutely LOVE. Walnut, antique art, gold hardware. Will be back! Notes: Multiple plates were over-salted - steak, fries, broccolini. Steaks were over done - medium rare was medium, medium was medium well. Service was excellent until the end. It took too long to get the bill and close out, even after asking. read more

I was rather impressed with this cool place! You will definitely need a reservation as I'm not the only person impressed with their food! I took a chance without one and was offered a bar seat, of course I said yes! I would need at least 10 stomachs to try all the dishes that sounded amazing to me, so I had to settle on simply over ordering with three dishes. The fried chicken deviled eggs were a home run! I wanted the burrata to be fantastic because all the ingredients seemed as if it would be but it seemed to be lacking something, not exactly sure what, maybe too much arugula?? Anyway, then I ordered the grilled sourdough Brie cheese, pear, and blackberry jam sandwich- wow!! Absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be back! The restaurant was quite nice as well, properly appointed and classy. Service was great, maybe too great, I watering to catch up with my Aunt and we were constantly getting asked if we were ready to order as if they wanted us to speed things along. read more

We took our mom (and a party of eight ) here for her 90th birthday. From the moment I called to make the reservation till the time we walked out of the door after our meal the service was simply outstanding. The hostess was so accommodating over the phone for the reservation of eight and even made numerous notes that there would be a birthday in the party. Upon arrival, the general manager welcomed us, and within minutes we were sat at our table and water and drink orders were taken immediately. The appetizers were fantastic. We had the whipped feta dip, the hot Cajun crab dip, and the bread service, the cosmos and espresso martinis were phenomenal and our entrées were fantastic. The Bolognese, Cioppino, fried chicken and steaks were all exceptional and definitely worth having again and again, for dessert our waiter treated us to complementary birthday desserts! At no point did we ever feel rushed on a Saturday night. This was one of our family's best dining experiences we've had in Houston Texas. Thank you so much Relish for a memorable evening celebrating my mom's 90th birthday. read more

Relish in Town & Country is a great spot! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they have a happy hour from 3:00 to 5:30 (though I do wish it went a little later). My husband had the Steak Au Poivre which was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We've also tried the deviled eggs from the happy hour menu, and they were delicious. A wonderful place to relax, enjoy good food, and great service! read more

Cool place for a lunch date or drinks with friends. Very large, beautifully designed, a wide selection of options for any taste. Perfect location, and plenty of parking. read more

We've been here twice in January/February for dinner and loved it both times. Food is amazing, just like the other location. Ambiance is cozy / upscale without being at all pretentious. Started with the carpaccio and it was very good. For entrees - Seared salmon was delish and my husband enjoyed the Cioppino at the recommendation of our server although there's many other dishes to come back and try too so not sure we'd feel the need to order again. My only complaint is the size of the old fashioneds... smallest portion I've ever experienced so wouldn't order again...without sounding like a lush! read more

Relish - Cioppino, Parmesan Cauliflower, and Seared Salmon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

We tried this new location for our anniversary and were disappointed. We got the oysters and artichoke for appetizers. The oysters were good, but the artichoke hardly had any meat. For a $16 appetizer, I would have hoped it had more to eat. The one other positive was that the drinks were good. My wife got the hangar steak and I got the New York strip. Both came sliced already, which is not how steak should be served because the juices had run out. My wife's steak was inconsistently cooked and she said it needed salt. My steak was cooked good but it was dry and too chewy for the price we paid. They also sat us at a small round table in between two others where the booth is on one side and a chair on the other. The table to the left had four people and they came after us and left before us even with getting dessert. The waiter did not pay attention to us and we had to try and flag him down multiple times. We previously tried the other location and it was a much better experience. Not sure that I will be back to this location. We expected a much better experience for the price we paid. read more

First time at Relish. I met friends for lunch. Our food was pretty good. I had a fancy flavorful grilled cheese and soup. The restaurant decor is nice. Unfortunately, my first visit I was met with a hostess that was rude, inflexible and inexperienced. She wanted to seat our party of 3 in the back right at the booth next to the bathroom. We walked through an empty dining room with several tables available just to be put in the back, near the bathroom? We had an 11:45am reservation. The restaurant was not busy at that time. I expressed my concerns with the hostess and this is where it went left. I asked to be moved to the main dining area. She raised her voice to say the tables that were empty had been reserved? Okay? we too had a reservation. She wasn't able to accommodate or suggest an alternative (inexperienced). The second option was to seat us on the both wall in the middle of 2 parties who were quite loud. I asked to sit at the 4 four top stand alone tables that were empty. She got loud with me and said those tables have been reserved. I asked to speak with a manager because I could tell she was getting upset. The manager (Eduardo) was even worse. He came to speak with me, was extremely defensive. Ultimately, he did find another table (4 top stand alone) that we were happy with. my experience was at a level 3 before I had even had a drink or lunch. That's not good. Five star experiences start upon entering the restaurant, with hostess, with wait staff, etc. The customer service is missing from a restaurant of this caliber. I hear the restaurant is rather new. Training on hostess staff and management is needed. I didn't like the way I was treated. My friends weren't happy about their experience or mine - especially as a first time customers! Also I looked around at the customer demographic, they did not look like me. I wondered if I was being treated the way because of this difference? I hope not! read more

Good food, generous portions, amazing carajillo, service was a little slow. Would come back during a less busy time!

A really great restaurant once you get past front door. We've been twice. First time we made reservation online but apparently there was a glitch. The hostess was less than helpful but I gave her a pass. It was the holidays and it was rocking with celebrations. They sat us at the bar but I gotta tell you the bar service was the best. Fabulous lunch, friendly talkative servers. Second time we did have a reservation but they still sat us in the bar. So....I have nothing. Next time we will specifically ask for a table outside the bar area. Yes we will go again but the food is that good. At least what we've tried so far. read more

The restaurant is gorgeous and the food is delicious. Tasty cocktails and a nice wine menu. There's something for everyone so even good when there's a picky eater in the mix. The service goes above and beyond every time. Great spot for date night, family dinner, happy hour with friends, business dinner, and whatever else you may need. read more

Food was great. My mom and I didn't have reservations during their busy lunch time so we sat at the bar. It was bustling too. Bartenders and other staff were very attentive. We shared the crudo and the artichoke appetizers. both were very good. I had the crispy chicken salad. It was a very generous portion. My mom had the red snapper which she completely polished off. Even after she said she was too full from the appetizers. lol. Fun atmosphere. A little on the pricier side but worth it. read more

Food and ambiance is amazing. Big open windows to all natural light to come in. This was an amazing way to bring in a birthday with light bites. The crab dip and oysters are amazing. read more

The location off of Memorial has great service and ambiance. The food is a little better than good but not great. There is defiantly room to improve and if ownership stays focus another star is sure to come. Then we can all relish in their success. read more

Sad about the experience but the food was truly delicious! Every single dish was amazing and I'm still thinking about it. However, I'm extremely disappointed with how my experience ended. There was a waiter change towards the very end of our experience and we were never actually told it was happening. Usually that probably wouldn't matter, but here it kind of confused everyone there, me included. Especially since we could see our original waitress still there, just talking off to the side. The new waiter came over to me and asked me a question but it was loud so I couldn't hear him. I asked him to repeat himself and he just gestured towards my plate (which was still 75% there). I thought he was going to box my food up just like the last waitress did for everyone else at our table but I guess he just threw it out. I waited for a while for him to come out with it but they never did. I'm torn, because it wasn't cheap, though had I been able to have all my food I wouldn't have mind much. My dish was about $25 and again, I only ate about 25% of it, maybe 30% because I was full from all the appetizers we got. So the fact I only ate a little bit of my AMAZING dish and the rest was thrown out for $25... that's kind of nuts. I want to go back because I fell in love with everything about this place. The aesthetic, atmosphere, food, presentation, even the small things like someone running over to fold someone's napkin if they went to the bathroom. But, I just feel a bitter taste in my mouth after spending so much money on something I wasn't able to actually finish later on. read more

Lunch was delicious! Service was a bit confusing.... First server came and told us they work together as a team. We told him we wanted to order drinks. He said he'd send someone over to take our order?? Too many exchanges with servers and too long wait. Might give it another try? Atmosphere was relaxing. read more

Food was good. Loved the atmosphere. Much closer to Cypress than original location. Will definitely go back.

Appetizer- beef carpaccio was very good, highly recommend, dinner- Crab cake was very good, and shrimp linguine... taste was there, my only beef was clumped together pasta (kind of couldn't believe it was sent out) so poor execution on the dish. I would give 4 stars if not for the silly drink prices. $18 for a small martini, and only one bottle of Chardonnay under $75, a name I did not recognize so had to go with the Far Niente... I don't mind paying for a good bottle of wine, in the right place, but this is more of a Sonoma Cutrer kind of place, ambiance and menu offerings, so deal killer for me to put this one in my rotation... wouldn't mind going back if invited to go with friends, but my wife and I agree there are too many better options in the area with better food and ambience... for what we paid ($240, tip included) for a "didn't want to cook night". read more

Whatever you do, don't let them seat you anywhere near the bar unless you only want to drink. It is extremely LOUD. Then, our food was cool upon serving and it was nothing to make me want to return. The "coup de gras" was when we got a glass of nasty ice. It wasn't noticed until canned cola had been poured into it. Upon replacement, an opened, partial can of cola was brought from the bar. I have no plans to spend another $200 there again. read more

Absolutely amazing restaurant beautifully decorated and very inviting. My husband and I went for a light bite and drinks. We were pleasantly surprised when we were seated at an intimate booth in the bar area. The manager Eduardo could not have been nicer. We knew him from another restaurant as well as Jose the bartender. The cocktails were amazing so delicious and interesting. I literally wanted to try every single one on the menu. We started with the bread service and the deviled eggs. Both were so delicious. I'm still hungry for more!! We had the pleasure of also meeting the owners who could not have been nicer and really treat the restaurant like it's a part of the community. For dinner my husband had the shrimp linguine , so delicious with homemade pasta and great flavor and texture on the shrimp. He said he could've eaten it over and over again. I had the roasted beet salad. It was so delicious full of flavors that really surprised your palette We opted for a cocktail for dessert and coffee. Hands down one of the best experiences in a Houston restaurant in a long time. We look forward to returning and I encourage everyone to go check out Relish even if it's for lunch happy hour or dinner you will not be disappointed. Reservations are recommended!! Enjoy!! read more

This place is a gem. The food is excellent and the service is incredible. The restaurant manager came over and made my date and I feel welcomed. When I'm in town I am definitely going back. My brother lives down the street and I recommend that he try it. read more

The restaurant is very nice. Our waiter was exceptionally good. Some of our food was quite enjoyable, but a couple of the entrées were just so so. One of the pasta dishes must have had the pasta already cooked and it had been sitting so it was thick and sticking together. The crab cake was a bit mushy. The mac & cheese was wonderful. One negative thing was they seated a group of 10 people right next to us and the noise level was unbearable. read more
