Laura Chan: Houston Press 2012 Favorite Dishes - Short Rib Sandwich
Ryan Stephens: Braised short rib sandwich is a 5/5. Unique burgers, a solid beer list and a nice patio make this a solid pub destination.
Sean Lackey: El Chi to burger, Korean short rib tacos, Thai chili wings
Kar Torres: Skip the Harami skirt steak, and order the Premium Sirloin, Kalbi Short Rib, and Angus Beef Rib!! Pretty much anything with the word 'rib'! The garlic noodles are a must too!
Neets J: Get their chili chicken wings, kalbi short rib with jalapeño sauce and spicy pork. The spicy tuna was ok, and so was the kimchi. Japanese julep would've been good if it weren't so sugary.

Taco Restaurant · Uptown-Galleria · 4 tips and reviews
Tony Xerri: The crispy shrimp tacos are addictive, and so is the braised short ribs. A little queso, a little watermelon ceviche, then a bowl of queso to balance it out. Get a pineapple jalapeno margarita too.
George Fotopoulos: Give it shot. Nice crowd
Emily Smith: The fajitas come with cheese quesadillas which are actually your tortillas for the fajitas. If you want regular tortillas just ask.
Houston Press: Sip on a French 75 while you feast on stellar $4 to $8 bar snacks, including fully dressed short rib sliders, blue cheese waffle chips, and crispy okra with buttermilk dip.
Local Houston Magazine: Now Frank's Americana Revival, the menu is more than nostalgic; classic American dishes with a touch of gourmet, the kind of food you grew up loving! Read more.

Adrian Phillips: Stopped in here driving from New Orleans to Austin. Fantastic meal. The fried cauliflower was amazing, beef short rib incredible and the gulf fish with cheesy grits was delicious. Menu is seasonal.
Jeffrey Wooten: Pork chop rivals Feast's. Get the buffalo sweetbread if it is on the menu. Mussels w/bread pudding in the middle are excellent also.
Eater: Small, casual and well priced, chef Kevin Naderi deftly balances New American techniques with his Persian heritage to make dishes like roasted cauliflower topped with bonito flakes. [Eater 38 Member]

Houston Press: Chef Ferrarese's signature short rib ravioli with black truffle and corn purée is a favorite, as are his perfectly executed risotto dishes. Sunday brunch is a popular draw, too, with a lavish buffet!
CultureMap Houston: For a special occasion, reserve the Chef’s Table, an inviting Tuscan-ish room with a fascinating view of the kitchen.
Houston Press: Brunch: Sundays 10:30am-2pm.
Catherine Shaw: Get the beef short ribs! It's always offered as a "special" for the night. This is the only thing my husband orders, it is amazing! And you can't beat half price wine on Saturday. Yes, SATURDAY!
Gary Archer: Food and service were both fantastic, beautiful meal in a nice setting .. will be back!
Tracy A. Hanes: The Sashmi tuna avacado salad is over the top! Delicious!
