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.

    The four of us enjoyed our experience. We had the redfish. Fried Shrimp and the sea Bass special and the stuffed Flounder special. Two were excellent. The Fried Shrimp were delicious but very small! The Flounder Special was the dish that was the huge disappointment! He could not eat it. I told the waiter and he apologized, talked to management and took it completely off the bill! This was a wonderful surprise and the mark of an excellent restaurant! We are regular patrons and will continue to be! Thanks!

    as prior “Danton’s” regulars, we continue to enjoy their “new name/new location” Menu & service excellent. Valet parking is nice since they’re in “a neighborhood”.

    So many Nats at a table by the bar. Maybe away from the bar would be better. Oysters were sold as either California or Texas. Served with 3-4 inch oysters. Validated from Galveston. Ate a few and returned most of them. Service was challenging as bartender was serving many tables on a Friday night. Wine selection was good and salad vinaigrette was above average. Stuffed Red Fish was overcooked, but the dirty rice selection made up for it a bit. I have been coming here for years, maybe a bad day. It feels that the owners are under investing in maintaining or improving.
