ostrich fillet
Jim W.

The Chef's Table is a good local spot with South African flavor. Service was great and the food was very good. I tried the ostrich fillet, which was different for me. I probably would not order it again, but it was worth trying at least once. Dinner for four was about $800, so definitely not inexpensive. I would still come back for the clam chowder and to check out the desserts next time.

Octopus
Jennifer V.

Revisited and had an amazing experience! Likely my new favorite restaurant! Food: - charred octopus with chimichurri was my favorite dish of the nice. Octopus was prepared perfectly - peri peri calamari was great (I'm a sucker for calamari) - Durban chicken was a sizable portion for dinner and a coconut flavor punch - chicken pendadura was ok, the glaze made it taste like American Chinese food (wasn't the biggest fan) - butternut squash ravioli - I didn't get to try but apparently was really good! - sticky toffee pudding - still sweet but pretty tasty. I still wish that for your birthday, you could choose the dessert Service: 10/10, no notes The lunch menu is 11-3 daily and much more affordable so I'll likely return for lunch or Houston Restaurant Week!

Part of the Sunday lunch/brunch menu.

Unbelievably wonderful Thanksgiving box. Putting aside my mother's cooking, this is the best turkey I've ever had. It must have been brined for days because it was incredibly tender and juicy, and the very light smoke resulted in a delicious bite. Chef's stuffing was yummy, the green bean casserole with mushrooms was incredible, and I could just go on and on. It was sitting in the refrigerator all ready to be prepared and then I remembered that Chef had said the turkey was even good cold. So when nobody was looking, I pulled the tray out to sneak a bite and was stunned by the juiciness and tenderness and fabulous flavor! Next year we are definitely going to order the Thanksgiving box in advance of the holiday. We went again today and discovered a fabulous new dish of butternut squash ravioli in a lemon sauce with Parmesan. WOW, WOW, WOW! I stole a bite off my niece's plate and couldn't believe how delicious it was. Of course, I keep discovering new genius dishes that the chef serves and this was the newest one to hit my radar.

Crabcake eggs Benedict
Yvie F.

Had another amazing experience at The Chef's Table in The Vintage. My friends Adrienne and Holly both ordered the beef Wellington, and I had the crab cake eggs Benedict with truffle tater tots - everything was absolutely phenomenal, as always. We also had pomegranate mimosas, and let me tell you... they did not disappoint. I was feeling a little loopy in the best way! The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is classy with great ambience, and the staff is always professional, sweet, and very attentive. It's one of those places that never misses. Highly recommend!

I honestly didn't think I'd like the food at first, but wow -- the entire experience completely surprised me! The service was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I went during lunch (highly recommend it because it's much cheaper than dinner), and everything we ordered was fantastic. I had the lamb chops with potatoes -- absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. The menu has a South American/South African flair, and every dish my coworkers ordered was also really good. I'm a very picky eater, so that says a lot! The atmosphere was warm and inviting -- a great spot for lunch with friends or even a perfect date night. They also serve refreshing watermelon-infused water, which I couldn't get enough of. The only small thing I'd love is if they started the meal with some bread or something similar, but that's just my personal preference. Overall, amazing service, delicious food, and a really great vibe. I'll definitely be back -- especially for lunch!

Filet medallions kebab

I used to go here when it was Peli Peli. Chef Paul is still here and the menu is mostly the same. The ambiance is not as good since the flood remodeling but I still love the food! Food: calamari: perfect and the sauce complimented it well, breading was perfectly crunchy and not too thick, the squid was tender without being overcooked the filet medallion skewers with chimicchurri sauce: beef and saffron rice were very flavorful, cooked perfectly medium per request, would definitely order this again kingklip: very buttery, not too much taste and kind of one note, but i can see why people would order it if you love fish sticky toffee pudding: for people with sweet tooths but this was a bit too much for me

Came to celebrate my birthday with my family on a Tuesday night. Service was great. Everyone was attentive and very accommodating. Thank you to the hostess at the time for being patient with my family as we asked for millions of pics. Food- we started off with the peri peri calamari, sautéed calamari, & stuffed shrimp. Entrees included the Jerk Snapper, hot honey bacon chutney salmon, shrimp scampi, and the 16oz ribeye. Sides included the Brussels sprouts and the lobster Mac & cheese. No complaints from the family. My mom did order the prawns and wasn't satisfied but they were able to change out the dish- the prawns didn't taste fresh and bit overcooked. Drinks - i tried the old fashioned and nothing too special. My father did have a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and I a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Overall- definitely a good restaurant for special occasions, date nights, girls nights, etc.

The sea bass is awesome
James M.

A higher end experience with appropriate pricing. This is a really great place with a nice atmosphere, great service, and upscale food. It's a little pricey for everyday dining but if you're looking for something special this will deliver for that birthday dinner or that business lunch where you're aiming to impress. I'd highly recommend this one to anyone and I can't wait to get back !

Sauteed Calamari
Apryl M.

Late Post: First time dining at this restaurant and we had dinner here I believed during HRW week. The waitress that served us was excellent. You can really tell she enjoyed her job and like talking to customers as she had informative recommendations from the menu. We were on a double date so we ordered a variety of foods to share and everything we tried was seasoned well, extremely fresh and uniquely flavored. They also have a nice wine room with various selections to satisfy any connoisseur. I would definitely go back to this place to try more items on menu. You can be casual dinner or dressy for a special occasion. Refer to pics below of our food. As we eat first with our eyes, the experience was good and entrées were prepared to tease your palate so definitely give this place a try and we'll be back again soon!

Went here for my 1 year anniversary dinner. THE ABSOLUTE MOST AMAZING FOOD I'VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. Service was amazing above and beyond. Our server was knowledgeable and kind she convinced me to get the ostrich which was TO DIE for by the way! The ambiance is intimate and perfect for date night and private gathering. The booths are tucked in so it makes you feel like you're the only people in the restaurant. It was the most lovely experience for my first time there and first time in Houston. I will 1,000% be back!

Lamb chops
Eli N.

Five star experience from the time you walk in to the time you leave. The food is excellent. Well balanced menu. Amazing drinks. Amazing apps - grilled octopus, filled mushrooms, pork belly. Amazing entrees - lamb chops, hot honey bacon salmon cooked medium. The cucumber martini on the rocks was made perfect. Top it all off with the créeme brûlée. The ambiance is upscale yet casual. Make a resy before you head out there.

The kingklip is a must. Familly night out for birthday celebration.

Located in River Oaks area, very elegant classy decor, a great interior to celebrate any special occasion. Service was good, no complaints there. Food however, was not up to par. Not worth the price. I ordered the Filet mignon and it was good but Perry's steak is better flavor wise. The sides were the most disappointing of all. The whipped Boursin potatoes are almost identical to boxed mashed potatoes. The macaroni and cheese was identical to boxed or velveeta. The red velvet dessert was ok, a bit too sweet and seems more like the frozen chocolate lava cakes you except red velvet. I couldn't believe it, I never thought I would have this kind of review but it is the honest truth. I will not be back here. It is not worth the hype.

My first time here was fantastic!…read more I got the beef wellington, a baked potato, and calamari. Beef wellington was cooked to perfection. The puff pastry was flaky, steak had good flavor, and the sauce paired perfectly. Calamari was standard. The ambiance was formal and very Texas forward. Great spot for a nice date night. Everything was a 10/10. My second time here was just alright. It might have also had to do with the fact that I went during Houston Restaurant Week and got one of their specials. However, the quality and service was just very different. Steak was ordered medium rare and came extremely rare. When we sent it back, they cooked it well done. Nevertheless, I would give it another try and recommend going outside of HRW. 8/10!

I had such amazing high hopes, especially when our waiter promised the steaks were cooked with…read morenothing!! No oil, no butter. But salt and pepper. So imagine my disappointment when my beautifully cooked steak came finished with olive oil. Thankfully not much but enough to make me immediately say 'ughhhh'. You don't need oils to enhance beef!!! Bread service was amazing. Mustard butter incredible. Mashed potatoes were fine. Corn soufflé I took one bite of and gagged. So not good. Raw barely cooked mushy corn bread with wet corn, slimy peppers and cheese on it. HURK!!! Not good. Dessert however was sadly the most disappointing. A baked pecan dessert with ice cream. Ummmmm. It was a ball of ice cream baked Alaskan style with basically no pecans. Just some odd cookie pieces in it. Had they kept the steak plan I would say this was the best steak in Houston I've had so far but I can't even say that. Sides didn't save it. Service was fine.
