I was in town for a conference, and was aware of The Palm from other various locations and my…read moreelectric pepper mill. I thought the guy I was meeting for dinner was down for a steak, so I booked the palm. When we got there, he was happy they had Italian choices as he said he was in the mood for lasagna. One point for me being a mind reader and knowing what a guy wants! After looking at the menu, we both wanted lasagna or chicken parm, so why not do what all guys do and share meals AND a bottle of wine. Great idea and they made it easy. The chicken parm was split onto two plates so no awkward cutting it in half and making a huge mess. The half portion was huge and it was also one of the best chicken parms I've had. The Wagyu Lasagna was unique and there were 4 individual portions (kinda rolled vs. just one big piece). That also made it easy to share and I'd say it's a great add-on if there are 4 people at the table. The thing that stood out was the large chunks of meat in it... almost meatball-esque. We also had Garlic Bread (which came with 3 sauces), Regular Bread, Cocktails and Wine. It was a feast for sure and we were both happy, tipsy, and stuffed at the end. The waiter was outstanding and provided great service and didn't judge us for sharing. And the manager came over and explained the history of the restaurant and thanked us for dining with them. Great touch and love when the establishments have pride in what they do and are genuinely thankful to their patrons for dining with them. After wining, dining, and paying... the evening ended with us going our separate ways. If I had a nickel. But seriously, if you're in the convention center area of Houston, don't rule out The Palm as an excellent dinner choice.

This was an experience. We came in here after having visited…read moremany of their other restaurants (we actually shipped going to pappadeaux) to come here tonight. The restaurant is very dark and intimate, but at times you can hear the people next to you talking. I got a cosmo, a 10 oz filet, husband got a 16 oz ribeye. We shared crab Mac, broccolini and lobster deviled eggs. Husbands drink never came. We finally cancelled it when our food arrived. The ribeye was supposed to be 16 oz but looked more like a 10 when it arrived. There was no fat on it, and anyone who eats steak knows the flavor comes from the fat. It looked like it was cut and weighed with the fat then the fat was cut off before it was cooked. I'm sure some people like that, but it feels like it should have been advertised as lean. Otherwise the sides completely carried the meal - we have definitely had better. - and cheaper steaks at saltgrass.

We came to this restaurant on Sunday with a party of six after having a bad experience at another…read morerestaurant, and unfortunately, this experience was not much better. I stood in line for about 30 minutes waiting for someone to come to the counter. When the employee finally came up, I simply asked if she was ready, and she immediately responded with an attitude, stating that she was there by herself, had no help, and was running everything alone. While I understand that staffing issues can be stressful, that should not be taken out on paying customers. As customers, we have no control over who shows up to work or how the restaurant is staffed. We are there to eat, pay for our food, and receive basic customer service. The employee then became more upset and stated that if I did not want to be there, I could leave. This was very unprofessional. I did end up staying and eating, but the food was mediocre and hard. The rest of my party also felt the food was not good. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. I will not be returning to this establishment and would not recommend it based on the poor customer service and food quality.

I was at MDA for a 12 day procedure and leaned on the Apicius for food for a bit when I felt up to…read moreit. During the first half of June 2026. I ate their Burger and had their Salmon on more than one occasion along with the coffee. You can always tell the quality of a restaurant by how they make their coffee. The Apicius did everything pretty well. The coffee was fresh. I prefer strong dark black coffee, more like Starbucks Sumatra. But their coffee was pretty good, at least fresh and where most folks would be happy with it. So an 8/10 on that. The Burger - I enjoyed the condiments and the fries, I like my burgers rare, ordered mid-rare because of my procedure and with garlic. I will rate that an 8/10. It would have been a 10/10 had it been fresh garlic. Not powdered. The Salmon was enjoyable, it came with rice and though I thought it was a bit on the bland side, maybe add lemon zest, jalapeño, a little more on the bolder side, some folks may prefer it that way. The rice was a little bit of a let down. A bit dry. Not fluffy. Though it was my worst medical treatment day there, the meal was a blessing and with the coffee, they brought over a thermos- pulled off a 7.25 out of 10. I remember having a burger to go, and they comped the cup of coffee and took it to the room as I didn't feel well one day. I will give that one an 9/10 as they packaged everything including napkins and utensils. The service was really quite good except by someone who probably was having a difficult day. It was mid-afternoon and I ordered a burger and that individual struggled to get me a napkin. I think this person is on leave as I am writing this otherwise I would have been a lot less understanding. Overall the service is good. A burger will cost 20, Salmon 30, coffee 3 around that ball park. So its OK value for money. To improve on the rating I would use more fresh ingredients, garlic, shallots, jalapeños, But being who they feed, they can't alway go bold and spicy. The setting is nice. See photos.

Whether you're looking to enjoy some Mexican, Indian, Chinese, or a fusion of flavors, they've got it. There's also a central bar that serves cocktails with live music and happy hour specials. Free 2 hour parking in the Lyric Garage is amazing for its location, you only need to scan the QR code on your purchase receipt on your way out. I sure wish that many other Downtown area food halls offer free parking. The open seating makes it easy for small groups to grab food and drink from various vendors and dine together. There are a variety of events throughout the week that are enticing, including $8 marg Sundays and Mondays, Trivia Tuesdays, half off wine Wednesdays, live Latin guitarist Thursdays, live jazz Fridays, and reverse happy hour on Saturdays.

Nice vibe dining experience! Sunday girls night out to catch up!…read more They do insist on your whole party being present before sitting down which I understand but service was still kind of slow. Food - I had the oxtail empanadas (menu description made it seem like one but you're given 3 mini empanadas) to start and the imperial Cajun salmon as my main with a side of Brussels sprouts. My only complaint is that i wish the mash that came with the salmon was a bit creamier. Other than that salmon was decent and nothing spectacular about the sprouts. Drink - I started with the Golden Hour and ended with a passion fruit margarita. Golden hour was actually worth the price because I was definitely feeling it! Passion fruit was refreshing. This place also had hookah lol i wish they weren't limited on their flavors but still hit regardless.

I visited PREY in Texas for my spouse's birthday, and while the atmosphere was very cute and…read moreromantic, perfect for a girls' night or date night, I don't think it's the kind of spot you bring your family to. They play live R&B music with a DJ, which definitely adds to the vibe, but the restaurant itself is very small (about 15 tables), so reservations can be hard to get. We arrived early but couldn't be seated until our actual reservation time. The prices are definitely upscale, but the space and food quality didn't match the price point in my opinion. I ordered the King Cat, which came with catfish, shrimp, and boudin rice. The catfish was cooked perfectly, crispy and not too salty, but it lacked seasoning. I didn't mind since I'm not big on salt, but others might. The shrimp was fine, but the boudin rice was mushy and honestly pretty awful; it didn't taste fresh and had the texture of mashed potatoes instead of rice. For $39, the plate felt overpriced, especially since we waited an hour for our food. Other dishes at the table were also just okay, we all agreed the food was around a 6.5 to 7 out of 10, but for me, it was closer to a 5 out of 10. We spent over $200 total, and it didn't feel worth it compared to other upscale restaurants I've been to. For example, I've had better experiences at places like 51fifteen, which is truly high-end but doesn't overcharge for something as simple as catfish. Customer service was decent (about a 6.5/10). Our waitress wasn't at fault for the long wait, and she did refill our waters, but overall, the service was just okay. I respect that this is a Black-owned business, and I encourage people to try it at least once, maybe during happy hour, but for me personally, I don't see myself returning. My overall rating would be a 6 out of 10: great vibes and music, but food quality and pricing don't match up.
