Houston Restaurant Reviews

We love to eat, and we love to eat out.  Our friends frequently ask us for  dining recommendations, and we try to stay current with all the new restaurant openings.  We aren't professional restaurant critics, and our day jobs have nothing to do with the food or restaurant industry.  We pay for all our meals. 

There's just two of us, so we may only have the opportunity to visit a restaurant once before writing a review.  We won't  have been able to try a number of the menu items, so we invite you to share your experiences.   

Thank you for visiting our website, and happy dining!

UPDATE:  CLOSED EARLY 2008

We had heard alot about this place in the Memorial area, so we wanted to try its new location inside the Loop.  Maybe it just wasn't our night for seafood, but we weren't excited about this restaurant.  Perhaps our error was going to eat dinner at 8; it appears from the age of the clientèle that the action likely happens during the early bird dinner hour. The well lit restaurant didn't have much ambiance.   Our visit started off on a slightly wrong foot when the waiter (who said he had been a bartender for many years) brought a gin & tonic without any lime.  As usual, we ordered calamari, which was o'kay, but nothing great.  The menu is somewhat limited and we didn't want any more fried food, which was probably a mistake since the fried shrimp are supposed to be a specialty.  We couldn't find anything else that sounded good to us, so we left and went to Carrabba's.
