A favorite location for a business lunch for me. 10 minutes from my office downtown, friendly and efficient service and always good food. My personal favorites are the chicken paillard and the salmon citrus salad. My colleague had the grilled cheese and bacon which looked amazing!

The food was pretty good. I had the crab cakes, the seafood risotto, the chocolate hazelnut torte and a cappuccino. My server was very attentive, keeping my drinks filled. I went for Sunday brunch.. It was a little loud because there was a live saxophonist doing a mixture of show tunes, R&B, and yacht rock (he had a great tone). Will definitely return.

We have been a few times to Auden and have loved it every time. The service is warm and attentive, the food is consistently delicious and the ambiance is classy and cozy. I also love that the chef changes up the menu with the seasons (while keeping the fan favorites on) and the way he is able to meld tastes and flavors together is perfection. The dessert menu is always on point and their wine selection is quite expansive. This truly is a great place for either a casual get together or an intimate evening. It is no wonder this place is rated as one of the top restaurants to visit in Houston.
