    My sister and I had dinner at Grace’s, and it was such a great experience! We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes, which were so crispy and flavorful—a great way to kick off the meal. And we were complimentary cornbread with a sweet butter (delicious by the way). For my main dish, I had the Cajun Stuffed Chicken, and it was amazing. I upgraded to the Crawfish Mac and Cheese (so worth it!) and swapped the collard greens for seasoned green beans. Shoutout to our server, who was super helpful and suggested those upgrades—she really made the meal extra special. The vibe at Grace’s is warm and cozy, like being at your grandmother’s house. The dress is casual, but going business casual would feel fitting for this location—it has that polished yet inviting atmosphere. The only small downside was that the table next to us was a bit loud, but honestly, it didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed everything else. My sister and I both left happy and full, and we’ll definitely be back!

    Relish is our FAVORITE spot in Houston for Bistro cuisine. We appreciate the friendliest, most-attentive service, excellent cocktails and an exceptional warm welcome each and every time. WE also love to sit at the bar! We never have to worry about sacrificing attentiveness and we enjoy the friendly, accomplished bartenders. Food is dependably good and something for everyone. Relish is our go-to most any night of the week, better than home because we don't have to do the dishes - but equally comfortable and exceptionally welcoming.

    I have eaten here several times and enjoyed both the food and the experience. It was a bit congested today, particularly as we were seated very close to where counter seats were located. The food I ordered required a substitute due to something not being available, which was a disappointment, but additional shrimp was offered and accepted as a substitute. The waitress was very competent and friendly. Valet service was timely and professional as previously experienced.
