Kathy Mckinney: Best crab cake anyplace, lots of crab, minimal breading
Allison M.: V&A is open every night for dinner, Chef Carlos has the best crab cake I've ever had in my life, his quail appetizer is incredible, and they serve great burgers at lunch on Fridays (or always in bar).
Lauren Fernandez: There's a reason VA was voted Best Of Houston steakhouse - Chef Carlos knows food. From the best crab cake in town to amazing steaks, to great sides & drinks. Ambience is top notch. Sit @ chefs bar.

Marcia Dunsmore: Scallop ceviche, mussels, wood roasted oysters and the coconut dessert. Rich but light as well.
Allen Arcade: Oyster tacos are fantastic! Like Berryhill fish tacos but with Liberty Kitchen fried oysters.
Christy Landes: Glad I tried a second time. Stick with small dishes rather than entrees. We loved the lobster tacos and all ceviche options. Delicious cocktails and nice outdoor seating options.
Giovanni Caldera: The happy hour here is the best in town with crab cakes that rival those of Maryland!
Liz R.: Enrico is the greatest server! Lemon sole, crab fried rice, tuna tartare, and Louisiana fried oysters- can't go wrong!!
Ms Helene: Freshly shucked oysters 6 for $18, tuna tartare with sesame oil, avocado, citrus and chili $14 and crab cake (can be GF) $16
