Best Casual Restaurants in Southeast Houston

Absolutely loved this restaurant. Waiter was super attentive. Food was great and atmosphere was beautiful with minimal noise

The food presentation and the flavor were excellent Most of the dishes are done on the wood fired grill. We were a group of four and had the focaccia, burrata and grilled octopus for appetizers and everything was excellent. They gave us the blistered bean salad on the house it is highly recommended for mains we had a pizza, pasta, red snapper and the NY Strip. The steak was amazing. The fish was a bit on the dry side.

I wandered into this restaurant with no expectations. It was comfortable and people were happy. I was seated right away, had a fantastic sweet waiter, and ordered off the happy hour menu. Each bite was a treat, and was unexpected and fresh. As it got later, it got louder as the place filled up with people and a DJ showed up (every Monday). I was alone, so I wasn’t trying to talk (it would be hard to do that although all the happy shouting people around me were not deterred)! I was about to ask for the check when the waiter asked me about having dessert. I don’t typically do dessert but he said, “we only have one—plantain bread.” Curious, and so pleased with my other three small dishes (plantain chips and greens, a curry with fried black-eyed peas, and the coconut chicken), I said, “why not?” The nuts were perfectly toasted and the bread was simultaneously crunchy around the edges, chewy, and light—I can’t imagine how the chef achieved that exquisite texture. The bites were perfect, the people energetic and joyful, and the music was thumping. A perfect meal and I will definitely be back!

Nice spot for date night. My wife & I celebrated our anniversary and definitely enjoyed the experience. We felt welcomed from the time we entered until we departed. The whole vibe was right!

Loved, loved, loved it. The piano was loud but all in all highly recommend!
