Reviews
First…. The restaurant was very clean and well decorated. We management, servers, bidders… everyone…. Asked if we needed anything, checked on us several times. Service was top notch. Chips and salsa were as good as it gets. Oysters were fantastic. Fajitas were marinated and grilled to perfection. Mole sauce on the chicken was done if the best we’ve ever had. The chipotle seasoned shrimp and sausage was great, as well. And… the cinnamon roll cheesecake topped it all off perfectly. Wish I could post photos.
You will not regret stopping in! Great food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. Some of the best Tex-Mex food I've ever had. Definitely one of our new favorites.
Can’t think of a single thing I would want to change. Our brunch was delicious and the servers, Cassandra and Zack, provided exceptional service. We had a carafe of Blood Orange Mimosa and a “Death in the Afternoon” a delectable mix of champagne, absinthe and lemon oleo. Apps included Popcorn Shrimp and Cinnamon Zephyrs (think beignets with cinnamon/sugar and caramel honey sauce). Entrees included Smoked Salmon & Avocado Toast and Hot Honey Chicken. Sooooo tasty! Definitely on our brunch spot favorites list now. Oh! And best of all… no wait! Loved this place. ❤️
Sat at the bar on a Sunday night and we got the most amazing treatment from the kitchen staff and our awesome server! The food was amazing all around, cocktails and mocktails phenomenal and tasty, and the dessert was also so unique and one of a kind. We got the beech mushroom toast, duck far potatoes, and the iron skillet cornbread starters to share, and I got the Mesquite tri tip for the main course with a mocktail that I can't remember them name of. All were very large portions and we were all too stuffed by the end of the meal.... Well almost too stuffed but we ended up getting a dessert (can't remember the name!) to share. I'm definitely adding this to my list of favorite places in Houston!
I had a great brunch experience. The pastry is awesome specially the biscuits. I had a Moroccan egg and was great.
The service is on top of their game, always prompt to serve more mimosas. The most impressive was the kitchen service, we didn't wait at all for all our food to arrive just as we asked.
The place got busy around noon but we got early and there was no waiting time. There are several parking spots around the block. Price was not bad at all for the quality of food and service.
This place is always great, from drinks to dessert they don't disappoint. The skillet cornbread is delicious with creme Fraiche and seasonal fruit that changes every few months. The grilled Caesar salad (not pictured) is truly amazing with a crispness and smokiness to the salad that's really different. The devils on horseback are perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the date and the saltiness and smokiness of the bacon. The pecan crusted fish balanced out nicely with the braininess of the capers. Lastly, the campfire sundae shouldn't be missed. It came with apple pie and pumpkin spice ice cream with grilled marshmallows, caramel, and crumbled graham crackers. The service is amazing here and they're attentive without being suffocating. Indianola is a standby for good food and good service!
Absolutely love the space the decor , atmosphere is great. The service outstanding, every single employee in this establishment was exceptional. The food was superb . The cocktails are amazing . The grouper was amazing, I’m usually not a fan of grouper which I find to be a dense dry fish, however the flavors the fish was cooked to perfection . Best grouper I’ve ever had, a masterpiece. Tasted even better the next day.
This is my new favorite restaurant! The food was phenomenal, and the staff was so nice! We ordered the sourdough bread, carrots, duck wings, pork steak, Santa Maria Steak, cheesecake and gelato and YUM! They made the carrots, duck wings and steak gluten free for me, as well as the gelato being gluten free. The flavors are so on point! The drinks were as beautiful as they were delicious! We ordered the gin and tonic, which came in a very cool glass and the rise and shine. Also we had our 21 month old daughter with us and she was in a bit of a crazy mood, but everyone was extremely nice to her. They didn’t just tolerate her, but seemed to genuinely love interacting with her, which made the anxiety of dining with a hyper toddler a little less. We will definitely back! (However we may leave the crazy toddler at home : )
