Best Casual Restaurants in Tanglewood

Too much noise. Suggest turn down music so people don’t have to talk over it. Excellent food and service.

Drake’s Hollywood was amazing! The food was 10/10. The ambiance and atmosphere was electric! The wait staff was incredible.

Dining at Amore was a treat. I think my Chilean Sea Bass was the best I have eaten in Houston. My fried artichoke was excellent as usual although the stem was inedible because this is not the best season for artichokes. My wifes regala seafood dish was also very good. The prices are reasonable for white table cloth dining and service was attentive but not intrusive. My only minor complaint was that the music was a bit too loud. I'm not sure why restaurants feel the need for loud music that drowns out conversation. Also, why does an Italian or French or Japanese restaurant see the need to play American pop music. I never returned to one restaurant which served good food because their music was rock played at an ear splitting volume. I will not ever return to one of the new one star Michelin restaurants because they refused to lower the volume of their pop music which was culturally at odds with their cuisine.

Love the food, service and ambiance. But the noise level is such that you have to speak very loudly to your companions, even during lunch. Some padding under the tables might help.

Dea/Dia was awesome and had great recommendations!!
