Karina Valdovinos: Outstanding wine selection! Try a garnacha wine, marcona almonds, and gruyere and manchego cheese combination... To die for!!!
Mark Alexander: Cozy neighborhood wine bar with friendly staff and wide selection of food and wine. Artistic and worn-down interior adds to the trendy, eclectic vibe. Staff had great wine & cheese recommendations!
Houston Press: The interior is spacious and the atmosphere laid-back (relatively speaking, at least) at this Midtown wine bar. Read more.

Fernando Covas: Breakfast is great for business meetings. Service can be slow, but it's excellent. The quiche (egg and gruyere cheese) is a must try.
CultureMap Houston: There’s often a piano player, so unless you like shouting over show tunes we suggest that you make reservations—getting a table too close to him can be a real conversation-killer.
Amyn Zindani: One of the best chicken fried steak.

Rivendell Nina Rentals: This was by far the best French I've ever eaten. Good food. Quaint spot. Excellent service and the creme brûlée was exquisite
Eater: For great French food in classic iterations, this is a good dining option and a Houston classic. The duck confit, escargot and chocolate dumplings are cheap and very well-executed. [Eater 38 Member]
Kimberley Mead: The boar is amazing.
Irena: their pizzas are AMAZING. seriously. also, lobster risotto :)
BestOf: Sonoma could beat out its competition in selection size alone, but it doesn't stop there. For the traditionalist, there are elegant cheese and Italian meat platters with fruit and nuts.
Donna Marie Jendritza: Jeremy B. makes Sonoma fun!!! Ask for him!
Neets J: Get the duck roast and chocolat! Loved this quaint place with a window view of discovery green!
Tere Perry: This small restaurant is big on taste, making for an intimate dining experience in the middle of downtown. The delicate crepes are stuffed with a variety of fillings...you can make a meal out of one!
Ashley Mooney: Best. French. Onion. Soup. Ever. Great service and atmosphere, too!
