    Credence delivers an exceptional dining experience, blending refined South Texas cuisine with top-tier service in a warm, inviting atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the rustic yet elegant decor, featuring rich wood tones and an open kitchen, sets the stage for a memorable meal. The menu is a celebration of live-fire cooking, with standout dishes like the Deviled Crabs on the Half Shell, bursting with smoky tomato butter, and the delicate parisa, where smoky beef meets cheddar and egg yolk for a perfect bite. The whole duck, served with a silky, sweet jus, and the truffle pasta paired with a petite dry-aged steak, showcase the restaurant’s dedication to bold flavors and impeccable execution. Beyond the food, the service is just as impressive. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the dining experience they provide. Whether recommending the perfect whiskey from their extensive collection or ensuring every dish arrives at its best, they make you feel like a valued guest. Credence is a true gem in Houston’s dining scene—perfect for a special occasion or an elevated night out. From the food to the service, every detail is thoughtfully crafted, making it a must-visit for those who appreciate exceptional cuisine.

    Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and the restaurant. Service was a bit slow and we had to ask for our server to take our order. I loved the lighting, ambience and the red snapper was excellent. We found the bbq shrimp good but the play on grits inside pasta pockets was a bit heavy. We would come back!

    Excellent well trained service staff stands out at Credence. A special request was communicated to the chef and flawlessly executed. The snapper was cooked to perfection. The deviled crabs were declared “best ever” by my wife. We will soon return (again).

    The BEST last-minute anniversary dinner we have ever enjoyed. So lucky to get a table for us on a Wednesday night to celebrate 20 years of marriage. The ambiance, service, taste of everything was outstanding. Deviled crabs and oysters to start, pork schnitzel and dry smoked steak, salads and cocktails were amazing. The Bundt cake with cream was surprisingly flavorful and the best dessert I’ve had in a long time. Will return with friends! 🥰

    We came out for our anniversary. The valet was super seamless and smooth. The host at the door were very friendly and hospitable. Our service team was fantastic and food was wonderful. Server made fantastic recommendation on food and cocktails. We had multiple managers stop by our table and say hi to us and our daughter. Overall it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We will definitely be back!

    Deviled crab was outstanding, crispy golden fries, tuna and steak both under cooked. Heavy on the salt. Limited wine menu.
