    entrance from Love Croissants
    Lou C.

    I came to Weights + Measures with a friend. She has been here before and she was bragging about this place. The restaurant is so pretty. I just wish there are more parking spots during lunchtime. I love the dining room. It's so open and bright. We were seated far back from the entrance. It was very crowded. I didn't want to be late to work. So, I ordered something quick. Just a croissant sandwich. I ate it so fast and didn't remember what was in there. It was very delicious. On my way out, I bought some more croissants from the Love Croissants Bakery.

    Everytime I come here the food is so fresh. It was my first time getting the cheese sticks and the pull was nice. The cheese sticks had a nice glaze, which brought extra flavor

    PORK BELLY AREPA BENEDICT
    Jess F.

    This is one of my favorite brunch spots! The interior is so sophisticated and elevated with lots of plants, wood decor, and fun lighting. The servers are also super kind and enthusiastic! My favorite brunch item is the pork belly arepa Benedict - one of the best Benedict's I've ever had! The hollandaise sauce seeps into the soft biscuit, which when combined with the egg's runny yolk and thick slab of pork belly makes for an absolutely delicious bite. The chicken and French toast was also amazing. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. My only qualm was that the French toast crust was a bit rougher than I expected. But when combined with the syrup and fried chicken, each bite was super balanced and delicious. The Yucatán tostada was also delicious, which my friend ordered. The portion was also huge! Overall, I love Weights + Measures and will certainly be back!

    Mozzarella sticks
    Keisha R.

    It was mostly all good. The inside is cool. Nice vibe and decor. The waiter was nice. Sometimes took awhile to get his attention when we were 1 of 2 tables in there on a week night, but he was nice. The food was ok. The sandwich was good. The mozzarella sticks were too breaded and not cheesy. The radiator pasta with meat sauce was pretty good. Pasta was cooked well.

    With a name like Weights & Measures, you could easily assume the restaurant is on the fancy side of things. That was my exact thought a few days ago when my friends suggested we do a late lunch/early dinner here. ​While I was only vaguely familiar with W&M, my expectations immediately took a leap as we pulled into the parking lot. The exterior was impressively modern, looking as though the place had opened just a few years ago. Going inside, I had a feeling my inaugural visit was going to be unforgettable. The interior perfectly combines the vibe of a chic European bakery (it does house one!), a swank New York Michelin-star restaurant, and an exclusive hotel bar. ​The dining area was fairly busy for a Saturday afternoon, but we were quickly seated and tended to. For my first W&M order, I chose the very interesting H-Town Chorizo Carbonara. Our waitress kindly explained that because of its Tex-Mex flavors, it might have a spicy kick, to which I enthusiastically said I was ready to try. The dish would arrive about ten minutes later, topped by a fried egg yolk. ​Having never tried carbonara, I was incredibly eager to dig in. The well-coordinated interaction of the meat, cheese, egg, sauce, and pasta immediately pleased my palate. And the waitress was right: the dish packed a definite spicy punch! My only wish is that it had been a bit bigger, because it was so amazingly tasty. ​While browsing the menu, I caught a glimpse of the brunch offerings. One dish instantly grabbed my attention: the French Toast and Fried Chicken. Although brunch hours were over, I immediately knew it was something to come back for. Having had a great experience with chicken and waffles before (shoutout to Breakfast Klub!), I have high hopes for it. There were plenty of other dishes that sounded like they deserved a shot as well. ​Given that W&M is seemingly marketed as the ideal brunch spot, I'll definitely be back to give it a try some late morning in the future.

    CRACKED EGG* PIZZA
    John B.

    Great place for brunch. This is my 3rd time and I always get the cracked egg pizza. So many other items on the menu that are intriguing as well. It has a cool relaxed vibe, little noisy, but not in a bad way. Open kitchen is always a nice touch. I usually eat at the bar and the service is fast and friendly. Ask for their recommendations. You can't miss!

    Dining Area
    Kim W.

    Stopped in for quick bite to eat with a few of my favorite people. Totally enjoyed my lox breakfast. Service was amazing, as they quickly assisted me with accessible seating. The ambiance was refreshing with an open feel. The smell of fresh baked bread was definitely enticing! There is a bakery on site to pick up freshly baked items, or to sit and enjoy a croissant and latte. Next trip I plan to try their pizza. It looked really good. The menu isn't a standard one, it offers a more upscale experience. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food.

    Midtown continental sunrise with scrambled rather than fried eggs
    Edna C.

    I feel like this place is pretty consistent in service, food quality, and tastiness. They have a parking lot. The dining area is always neat. The chai latte was extra extra hot for 10 mins. I ordered the midtown continental sunrise with scrambled eggs. I ate it all! Bonus is that Love Croissants shares some space with them.

    Carnitas Arepas
    Scott D.

    We went for brunch and it was very good. Parking wasn't a problem and we were seated immediately despite not having reservations. The interior is nicely decorated in a mix of elegance and industrial. Service was pretty good despite them having some large event in the private room. The menu offers a lot of choices including several for the semi- vegetarian in our group. All of the dishes were we ordered were excellent.

    S'mores Latte
    Brandea B.

    This is a cute restaurant and I love the ambiance! Went here on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty slow but the service was great. I loved the portion sizes that came with the food, I had the breakfast tacos which were delicious. I do which there were more options on the menu, which is the reasoning for my 4/5 rating. I would definitely come back! Parking was easy! I didn't get a picture of my food but I got one of my yummy s'mores latte!

    ROASTED PORK PUPUSA, PORK BELLY AREPA BENEDICT, MIDTOWN SUNRISE
    Katrina T.

    It shares a door with 'love croissants' which threw me off for a second but when you walk in through the restaurant doors there's a lot of tables and a nice decorated space. I came with some friends for brunch on a Saturday around 11:45. We all were able to find a parking spot in the lot and get seated quickly. Our server was very attentive and was able to answer any questions we had about the menu. There were a lot of yummy options for brunch. We got an espresso martini, an iced tiramisu latte, and a hot latte. The drinks were delicious! For food we ordered the arepas, pupusas, and the midtown continental. I ordered my eggs over medium but they were actually really runny. So I was bummed about that but everything else was fine and tasted good. Would come back!

    Birria Pizza
    Bradley L.

    W+M used to be a a solid place to get a last minute reservation with some solid food. I went last night and only one person at dinner enjoyed what they ordered. I ordered the birria pizza add jalapeños and I kid you not it must have had 3 lbs of cheese on it. Jalapeños were forgotten despite the restaurant being basically empty. It feels like basically everything is the same with the new ownership except the quality of the food. So if you're looking for over priced experience with lack luster food drop in to W+M while it's till open. Once we were waited on I will say our server was good and attentive. Got me some jalapeños after the fact and came by the right amount. Just wished to food was back to its original quality.

    Maple salad
    Katarina C.

    Went for brunch, coffee was good *iced caramel macchiato* But I feel like the food could've been way better The cracked egg pizza was extremely salty, I ended up only having one slice The artichoke was super yummy! The salad, lacked substance And I did not try the French toast and chicken. However my friend ate it and seemed to enjoy it. The service was good The vibe was super cute But I don't think I'd go back for brunch, maybe I'll try it for dinner.

    How is parking?

    Hello! Parking is super easy. We have our own lot and street parking. During the week, we have complimentary valet service at Lunch.

    I see online that they have Black Hole Cold Brew Coffee on tap for brunch. Is it still available during other hours of operation? Been trying to find somewhere with coffe on nitro. Thanks in advance!

    Not sure about this place, but Snooze on Montrose and Westheimer has Black Hole's cold brew on nitro

    Good or nah?

    Good* (but pricey)* Breakfast (bakery opens at 6:00; restaurant at 7:00)…

We were told it would take a while for the food to come out, which was fine because we were prepared to sit down and eat. However, another staff member then told us they would not be able to serve us because most of the workers were leaving at 2:00 p.m., leaving only one person in the kitchen. When I asked what time the restaurant closed, I was told 4:00 p.m. If the restaurant closes at 4:00 p.m. and reservations are being accepted, customers should still be served, especially when the reservation was already on the schedule. We ended up leaving without being seated or served. This was a very poor experience and extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

While we waited for our table, we grabbed drinks at the bar on the other side, which felt like the perfect way to start the evening. I don't play about service and every box you could check was executed very well here. The greeting on entry was very intentional and welcoming. The table was still pending so the hostess showed us the bar and welcomed us to wait there. The bartender greeted us with a smile. We started with wine and when the table was ready the hostess came to gather us. A server came to take our drinks over to the table for us and they transferred the tab for us. Y'all, I love not having to think for a moment lol, please guide me through an experience. Ok so we got escorted to the table and since it was for my birthday, the hostess said "I think I have the perfect birthday table for you." And she did, because we ended up with the cutest plush velvet (I think lol) booth overlooking the rest of the restaurant so we could really take in the atmosphere. Also, loved the fully open-concept kitchen. Being able to see all the action added to the experience and gave the space a lively, interactive feel. Ok back to service because Bludorn really is topping the game! Our server was sweet and was able to speak to all the menu options. He really steered me in the right direction on choices, not one miss! Occasionally other staff would pop by just to say hi and make sure we were doing well. And I just love a little attention when I'm out spending my money y'all so that sat well with me. Ok now let's talk about the main event, the food. To start they brought us their version of Parker Rolls with a garlic butter, excellent starter. For an app I got the Chilled Corn Soup with Blue Crab. It was really refreshing, the flavors were vibrant and that crab was fresh. They also did not skimp on the crab. I honestly hated that it had to come to an end. For my entrée I did the Blackened Red Snapper (removed the bacon). This dish had a black eyed pea and puree situation under the fish. It was delicious! The snapper was perfectly flaky and tender, and the flavor of the accompanying puree was reminiscent of my mom's black eyed pea stew with bold flavors. The only thing was that I wanted the portion to be a little bigger, just made me sad is all lol. We also ordered the creamed spinach because they said it's one of their best sides and y'all it was so rich and velvety, it practically melted in my mouth! Now since it was my bday they brought out a cute chocolate dessert and had Happy Birthday written on the plate. I love details, it's going to get me every time. My friend got the salmon and said that it was "ok, nothing super special." She did love her shrimp app though. When we were ready for the check they brought out a cute postcard and the check was on the back. I thought that was so different, like finding a way to make the check cute is a talent lol. Also, for our left overs, they brought us little gold number plates, which we took to the front when leaving to claim our to-go bags. I thought this was very sophisticated, keeping the table clear in case you want to continue with drinks and convo, etc. Overall, the ambiance was warm, intimate, elevated, and effortlessly a vibe. Definitely the kind of place that feels perfect for date night or a cute dinner out with the girls. Would I go again? Of course, and I wouldn't think twice. As a matter of fact I'm making resys for brunch within the next few weeks. I plan to keep Bludorn in my rotation because when a place does it right you keep them close. I know Yelp does an overall star rating, but I'm going to start breaking my reviews down to show how I rate the different elements. Aesthetic or environment 5/5 Service 5/5 Food 4.5/5

For appetizers, I highly recommend the yellowtail sashimi. I'm sorry I didn't post a picture - I was SO hungry. I literally ate it like candy. Speaking of candy, it has Pop Rocks on top of the yellowtail. See how I tied that in, kids? My friends (also Yelp Elite) and I decided to do everything family-style. Since it's Restaurant Week (really Restaurant Month), we ordered a bunch of appetizers. The blue crab hush puppies were my second favorite. I wasn't a huge fan of the heirloom tomato because the wheat bread was way too thick for my liking. I would have preferred sourdough. But let's be honest - the reason I come here is for the mac & cheese and steak. I got the steak flight, which is about $110, but it's worth every penny. The Wagyu literally cuts like butter. The sides are HUGE and easily shareable with four people, so keep that in mind when ordering. Unfortunately, my friend did not enjoy his swordfish. His exact words were, "It tastes like dried chicken." My wife ordered the salad and absolutely loved it. Once again, the portion was enormous. If I'm judging this place solely on the wine, steaks, sides, and atmosphere, it's an easy five stars. You just have to know what to order. I was definitely disappointed to hear about the fish, but everything else keeps bringing me back.

    I felt like I was dropped off in the middle of Brooklyn or perhaps even Tokyo at this very trendy…read morevinyl listening bar with great cocktails. It also felt like a third space of sorts, because I was hanging out with a well connected friend, and everyone who came in was a who's who of the Houston restaurant/nightlife scene, and gathered for what turned out to be an unplanned hang out. They were hosting a vinyl swap night, so folks were coming in to peruse the many boxes of vinyls, and a DJ spun classic r&b tunes. I hear that on some nights they make space for a dance floor so people can show off their best two step in the space. The drinks were great and well priced but the wine selection is what got me. I was told they were inspired by Japan's many vinyl listening bars-- having been to many across Japan as well as many NYC imitators, this place actually impressively comes close. A true gem in Montrose.

    Service was solid and Kevin was an excellent waiter who took great care of us. Music choice put on…read morethe patio was questionable but otherwise nothing wrong with ambiance. Regarding the food, the Frisée Salad was pretty good, well dressed and flavorful. The chicken sandwich was okay. The batter was crispy and flaky but it had no flavor. What made it a lot better was the coleslaw that brought a great deal of tang and moisture. The steak was not quite for me. It came on a bed of sauce that was flavorful with fresh veggies but it did not go well with the steak. Perhaps chicken would've suited better. The steak itself was dry and quite chewy. For dessert we had the carrot cake tres leches which was decent. The carrot cake flavor was there but the moisture from the cake was not fully spread in the cake. Overall nothing here was bad but with the plethora of restaurants in the Houston area I can't justify recommending or returning.

    I really enjoyed my whole experience here. The vibe is unique for Houston. The building has a…read moreunique vibe and i'm obsessed with the front door. After entering, you are immediately greeted like family in a relaxing environment but with top notch food. It was my friend's bday so we celebrated with complimentary bubbles which was a nice touch. We enjoyed a large portion of their limited/rotating menu that did not disappoint. The tuna was my favorite. 10/10. A very extensive, higher end wine list complemented the meal nicely. Definitely need reservations -- book as early as possible. Seating is very limited especially for larger parties. Parking --- street parking around the block. Wasn't too difficult. Definitely a must try!

    I was finally able to try this Houston staple last weekend!…read more Food: 4.5/5 - I loved the tomato toast and warm broth the best! The tomato toast was not overhyped and definitely worth getting. The bread is nice and oily yet still crusty and crunchy. The tomatoes and greens on top paired perfectly with the sourdough. - The warm broth doesn't seem like much from pictures and description but it was just so comforting and had nice umami. The green onions really bring out the rest of the flavors. - Ratatouille: this was one of our server's recommendations. I thought it was pretty good but slightly too sour/over-pickled for me. (I'm also not a big pickle person) - Butternut squash: This was probably the next best dish after the toast and broth. All the flavors and texture were there except the squash was a little hard. It could've been cooked a little longer to make it easier to cut through. I guess it is out of season, but still. - Squab aka pigeon: Also pretty good. The dried raspberries actually pair very well with it. Ambiance: 4/5 - The space is extremely small so you really need reservations. - It's so small that the tables are quite close together. But they were also not evenly spaced out so we tried to move our table away from the people next to us (we were practically touching!) and the staff insisted that we don't move them because they need to access the cutlery in the drawer on the side of the table?? First of all, they could've still accessed it after we moved the table. Second, if the space is that tiny, why not just store the utensils elsewhere? Very odd and didn't like that vibe.

    When you're stuck in town but want to feel like you're in a tropical destination, The Toasted…read moreCoconut is where you need to come. The team behind the popular restaurant Nobie's opened up this tiki inspired restaurant. Tiki bars happen to be one of my favorite varieties of bars so I was more than excited to finally check it off my list. I had recently seen them on the Food Network as well. They share a lot with another popular dining spot so parking can be a little difficult in their lot. You can find street parking or park across the street in an overflow lot. Customer service was great from start to finish. We had just ate next door and our intentions were to come in here just for cocktails, but I couldn't leave without trying some of the popular items. I wanted the most tropical drink I could find on the menu so I started off with the Blue Hawaiian. I saw fire on the description so my extra self needed to have it. I'm a big rum guy so this drink was right up my alley and very boozy with two types of rum. It was very coconut forward with pineapple being the secondary flavor. One was enough for me to feel just right. Since we had just ate, we decided to share the World Famous Cheeseburger. This was a great burger. I don't know if they were going for the smash effect, but it had smash burger characteristics. It had all my favorite things that are musts on a burger like American cheese and red onions. It also had a very nice chili aioli that added great flavor to the burger. I came on another stop for a drink visit shortly after and tried the pork dumplings and popcorn chicken. These were also very good. If I lived in the area, this place would easily be a place I would frequent often. I will most definitely be back!

    Passed by this place multiple times and finally decided to stop in for drinks and appetizers…read more The ambience grabs your attention just walking into the restaurant they have string lights along the walkway and low amber lights as you go inside. They have an outdoor eating area, a bar area, and seating in the very back. It's very spacious, comfortable, and intimate. The theme of the restaurant is seen all over from the moment you enter, to the music, the menu and the restroom. They paid close attention to detail with decorating. We had an amazing server, delicious drinks (a must try), and ok food. We ordered four drinks the painkilla, vamos à la playa, captains grog, and the Hemingway daiquiri. All were great drinks and we loved how they give you flavor characteristics of the drinks on the menu. The appetizers that we ordered were the sweet and sour cauliflower and the pork dumplings, which is why I gave this place four stars. The presentation of both appetizers were excellent. However, the pork dumplings were disappointing. They came with only six dumplings for $17, were served cold, and are very bland. In my opinion, they weren't worth the price. On the other hand, the sweet and sour cauliflower was our favorite and is definitely a must-try.
