- JJenniferVIPHouston •14 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoRelish is our FAVORITE spot in Houston for Bistro cuisine. We appreciate the friendliest, most-attentive service, excellent cocktails and an exceptional warm welcome each and every time. WE also love to sit at the bar! We never have to worry about sacrificing attentiveness and we enjoy the friendly, accomplished bartenders. Food is dependably good and something for everyone. Relish is our go-to most any night of the week, better than home because we don't have to do the dishes - but equally comfortable and exceptionally welcoming.More infoRelish Restaurant & Bar - River OaksPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• River Oaks•4.9
- DDavidHouston •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had a very nice Christmas Day dinner. Very good drinks, the Devil in Disguise and the Repeat Offender. Nice oysters for our appetizer. My wife had the lobster bisque and it was perfect. I had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. We had the tremendous orange soufflé for dessert. A must have. Really amazing. Great night.More infoLeo's River OaksPrice: Very Expensive• American• River Oaks•4.6

- MMonicaHouston •2 reviews4.0Dined on Nov 9, 2024The place is very chic - its very Gen Z / Mil-lineal but of course we are on our late 40’s already. Ambience and service is five star definitely. But food is mediocre. We all thought the chicken taste like a cut from a rotisserie chicken. But if you just want to enjoy company in a nice place,this is definitely a placeMore infoPostScript HTXPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Southeast Houston•4.1
