Best Healthy Restaurants in W. University / Med Center

We had a fantastic meal! There were 5 of us and we ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees. The fried chicken and meatball appetizers were delicious ! My husband ordered the spinach gnocchi that was SO good that table ended up sharing it. He also ordered the Halibut alla Pescatora - very fresh and flaky. He loved it and is really picky about fish. Two people ordered the beef tenderloin which was cooked to perfection. Another guest loved the squid ink Campanella- I didn’t taste it but will take his word that it was really good. I ordered the chicken Marsala- , a dish I always love. It had fantastic flavor but will say it was a bit on the salty side. We were celebrating a birthday and ordered 2 tiramisus- the best way to end the night! Our server Valerie gave us just the right amount of attention. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions. We will definitely ask for her next time we go! Amanda, the manager, was aware that we were celebrating and made a point to check in on us to make sure everything was great. We just had a great experience all the way around!

Great neighborhood restaurant in a good location. The service was impeccable including the employees who helped with my elderly mother and her walker. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive. The food was fabulous and dishes were made with imagination, for example the brussels sprout salad. Excellent. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Houston.

Christmas Eve at Hamsa—phenomenal food, wine-pairing (sommelier—so excellent), Yalla yalla experience—flavor, flavor! And the continuous flow of energetic servers capped off an evening with serious conversation, laughter amongst my family. The ambience was excellent. And all 5 of us genuinely appreciated the attention by our host/lead server Shawn—accent and all! Thank you!!

Steak 48 exceeded all my expectations, providing a dining experience that was nothing short of phenomenal. The highlight of the evening was the impeccable service from Ryjane. She was the epitome of professionalism—attentive, knowledgeable, and flawless in her execution. Her genuine warmth and efficiency elevated the entire experience, making us feel truly valued as guests. The food was equally outstanding! From the perfectly cooked, tender steak to the delectable sides and appetizers, every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s expertise and attention to detail. The flavors were rich and beautifully balanced, and the presentation was just as impressive. Steak 48 is the perfect spot for a special occasion or simply indulging in an unforgettable meal. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’ll definitely be back. Kudos to Ryjane for making the evening truly exceptional!

The food is the best sushi in America. I go to restaurants in NY, LA, Vegas, Miami. This is the best sushi in the country. The dishes are creative and prepared like you would find at a Michelin-star restaurant. I have gone here for Christmas, New Years Eve, Anniversary, Birthday over the years. Always a great. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar for the quality. Drinks are creative. If you are z champagne drinker they even have my favorite, Ruinart. The only opportunity was we brought a baby and a little tough for seating choices. But we were fine and the baby didn't make a peep. Eat, enjoy, celebrate.
