Owned and operated by the Teas family for over 15 years, Eugene's (formally Danton’s Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen), continues to serve Houston's finest Cajun-style Gulf Coast Cuisine. Conveniently located between Montrose and River Oaks. The restaurant is a neighborhood spot where everyone feels at home.

Join us in celebrating the flavors and traditions of the Gulf Coast in a charming, casual-fine dining atmosphere. All our dishes are made from scratch (except the Ranch dressing and Blue Bell ice cream) and our seafood and steaks are grilled over a wood-burning fire of oak and hickory. The freshest seafood, USDA certified beef steaks, delicious sides, daily specials, decadent desserts, wonderful wines, best martini’s in town and genuine Southern hospitality are a few of the things that will keep you coming back.

    First time to dine at Eugene’s and will definitely be back. This is a hidden gem, or somehow just hidden from me over the year’s. The ambiance is classic upscale dining, with a crowd that’s clearly been going there for many years. Our server Jenny was knowledgeable of the full menu, attentive but not overdone, and took great care of us. She made our night perfect. The food was excellent. Portions were generous and prepared perfectly. I started with a seafood gumbo and my wife had the crab & corn bisque. For entrees I had the stuffed redfish and she had the halibut special. All of it was excellent. Cocktails were also on point and with a minimal wait which was appreciated. Loved Eugene’s!

    Eugene’s has the best seafood dishes. Our table had halibut, salmon, and scallops. Also one of us had the Sunday brunch boudin Benedict. All dishes were delicious.

    I just love Eugene’s! The service is excellent! The food is amazing! I love the ambiance. We go at least once per month and are never disappointed. Have the gumbo or the shrimp, the oysters or Salads, etc. But don’t miss the amazing peanut butter pie. It is so good that I’ve never had the key lime, my favorite!
