Luckily our server was able to move us to the covered outdoor seating after a little while which was a little better. The covered patio has fans. However, bonus for sitting outside is that they're having a promo during HRW where happy hour drink specials are going on all day. The food and drinks were all yummy though. We got the yum yum fries for the table to share. I ordered the duck duck shroom pizza and the aperol spritz. The portions of everyone's food were huge so I'd say a good bang for your buck. We experienced multiple servers with our table switch and they were all nice and helpful.

It's right by the Continental Club. Walking in, I immediately liked the ambiance. It was quiet for lunch and the sound system was playing 70's era soul music. Seated at the bar, I had a nice conversation with the bartender, and decided on a cup of their gumbo, which was good, and their burger, which was messy and tasty and exactly like I like my hamburgers. I will be back. It was a very enjoyable experience.

During happy hour (Mon-Fri 4-6pm) their oysters are priced: $1.50 gulf, $3 east coast, $3 char grilled. There are additional food (burgers, nuggets, wings) and drink specials. I've only tried their wings (wet: Nashville Seoul), fries, and of course... oysters. During the winter holidays, Winnie's transforms into "Miracle at Winnie's," a Christmas and all things winter holiday lights-themed bar.

Unfortunately we were in a pinch…read moreand staying in a hotel nearby so we had limited options. 1) Nobody in the place at 7:00 on a Friday should have been a sign. 2) Waiter never took our drink order. He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.

This one has been on my list for a long time. I saw them on Houston restaurant week so we decided…read moreto give them a try and I'm glad we did. Valet is a little tough here because the parking lot is small, but they managed to do a good job all things considered so kudos to them. Food: the food is absolutely amazing. Their version of Jerk Chicken is very unique. Full of flavor and very tasty. Every bite was amazing. I will say, though if they were to make this on an open pit or a flame pit like Caribbean hot pot I think it would really add to the flavor but all in all the way they do it. It's very unique and it's very good. The bed of rice that is served on is phenomenal. I've never had rice that good. Also, I don't even eat vegetables, but the greens are amazing. The lamb chops were a little tough. My girl ordered them, medium rare, and it was tougher to cut them. So maybe it was just a bad day but they were OK. Everything else was amazing. The dessert was amazing as well. The service was top-notch! Our waitress was Carter and she did an amazing job. She was very perishable and had some great suggestions for us. She made sure we were taking care of the entire time. We love the Decor in the restaurant as well.

We came here during Houston Restaurant Week, and I noticed that the website has still not been…read moreupdated to reflect what happened to the former owners. We had a 7pm reservation for two, and it was in a corner with a small table and high bar stools. It was very hot. We were sweaty, and I am normally very cold in restaurants. I think they go a little overboard with saying that having food here is like traveling the world and breaks down barriers. I like the concept though. They could do more with the decor to give it more of a world traveler vibe. They definitely tried. They were playing American hip hop music, which does not fit the international theme. We got the three course dinner, which was $60 each plus tip. The food was good but did not feel like it was worth the price. For appetizers, we got the Mochiko Chicken and Crispy Pork Belly in Pasilla Sauce. We liked the chicken a lot, and it came with a sweet mango chutney and spicy mayo sauce. The pork belly was alright. It was pretty standard. For entrees, we got the Singaporean Shrimp Laksa and Nigerian Suya Skewers. I liked the noodles and curry, but the fish cakes were not that appetizing. The skin was much bigger than the meat inside, so it would weirdly inflate or deflate. The shrimp came with their tails on, so I got my hands slimy with curry. I did not personally try the beef, but I was informed it was a 3.85/5 and 4/5 with the sauce. The laksa was a decently sized portion, but the beef was quite the small portion with a few chunks and a bit of rice and tomatoes. For dessert, we enjoyed the Orange Torta Caprese and New Orleans Bourbon Bread Pudding. I was kind of confused why the chocolate cake was called torta. It was very small but nice and rich. The orange flavour was strong. The bread pudding, on the other hand, was very big. Although it wasn't pudding. There was a large piece of the bread in whole form. It was delicious. I did not taste bourbon.

- Houston flavor with attitude…read more Gypsy Poet is one of those Houston spots where the pizza shows up acting like it's the headliner, and the drinks roll in like they're trying to renegotiate their contract. They're known for their artisanal, wood‑fired Neapolitan‑style pizzas and whimsical, eclectic atmosphere, and somehow they pull it off without feeling forced or theatrical. The dough has that confident chew -- not floppy, not stiff, just right. The toppings taste intentional, like someone actually sat down and said, "We're not doing mediocre today." Every slice feels like it's trying to impress you, and honestly, it does. Gypsy Poet's drink lineup is way stronger than you expect from a pizza parlor. The lemonade snaps -- bright, sharp, and ready to wake your whole brain up. The sangria is cold, fruity, and dangerously smooth -- the kind of drink that convinces you you're the funniest person in the building. The beer and wine selection stays reliable and unfussy, perfect for when you want flavor without theatrics. The atmosphere leans whimsical and eclectic, but not in a way that tries too hard. It feels like a creative studio that decided pizza was a better use of its time. Art everywhere, people everywhere, energy everywhere. Students, creatives, downtown workers, and that one person who looks like they're writing a screenplay about the place -- all in the mix without stepping on each other's vibe. It's lively, expressive, and very Houston in that "we're doing our own thing" way.

We also had the octopus for an appetizer and this was probably the best octopus I have ever tried at a restaurant. For main course I had the blue cheese ravioli ribs and the flavors really complimented one another with the fig. We also had the Duck dish and it was excellent. Apparently these sell so fast that people call ahead of time to reserve! Our wait staff was exceptional and very attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful without being overbearing.

My daughter had the sampler platter with eggs, bacon, sausage, a biscuit, and grits. She loved everything on her plate (especially the biscuit!) but was very underwhelmed by the grits. I had them too and they were pretty bland and needed to be a little less thick. That said, the portion sizes are nice! One meal was plenty to split for my 2 kids. My husband and I split the Katfish and grits along with the red velvet waffles and chicken wings. The catfish tasted great, though it got a little soggy from everything else on the plate. The red velvet waffles were delicious, rich, flavorful, and a hit with my husband and I (and then my girls who were eyeballing my plate.) The chicken wings that came with them were crispy, seasoned, and hot, which is a winning combination. Needless to say, I would highly recommend stopping by! And a quick tip for anyone visiting: try to get there before 9:00 AM. I've heard that it gets lively and crowded fast, but going early makes it much easier to get a table.
