Chef Johann has impeccable taste, and all the dishes are incredible. The wine selection is hand picked and goes incredible with almost every dish they have, just be sure to ask what is recommended with each dish. I cannot wait to come back.

A French restaurant in midtown with very upscale service. The food is fantastic. We went twice during restaurant weeks. The first time I had the hangar steak. It was so we'll cooked and tender. The second time I had the chicken dish. Moist and tender is an understatement. The chef is friendly and enjoys talking with his guests. I recommend this restaurant for any time. You won't be disappointed.

Service was to die for, the food was out of this world amazing, and to top it off they do brunch as well.

Excellent meal. Great interaction with the staff and chef. The ambience is basic but acceptable. Our mains in particular were great, the filet, schnitzels, and lamb each was nice and well presented. The octopus appetizer was also very nice. The soups were pleasant though ordinary. Overall I'd recommend a visit

Food is awesome! But when you have to put a disclaimer on the sidewalk sign that says "We are here to serve you but please be patient" there is most likely a staffing or leadership issue within the service staff...which there was unfortunately. But the food it's incredible, everything morsel was delicious. The mushroom risotto was the particularly great and deserves an honorable mention. It is by far the best I have ever had this side of the Atlantic, maybe that side as well!

Excellent food and service. I went for brunch and was delighted with the food. Being a chilly February day, I had a superb onion soup and then Eggs Benedict with very tasty Mimosas. Chef Shuster takes loving pride in his dishes and their presentation. Maria takes great care of the guests and makes everyone feel welcome. A great experience. Thank you.

Owners are awesome and very accommodating. Food is upscale German, but their traditional German dishes are great! We will be back! Next time we will call ahead and have them prepare some plum dumplings for us!

Excellent food, attentive service. The chef personally came out to chat with all of us later in the evening. He is super nice! You can tell he enjoys his trade. The restaurant has been around since 2000. The food is "New European" and I felt like he does a good job taking the classic European foods (German, Romanian, just to name a couple) and making them better. I liked his roast duck more than the one I had in Germany!

We took our neighbor today. Yes on Christmas day. The duck was excellent, lobster bisque some of the best ever. Service was fantastic. Thank you to all at Charivari Restaurant for helping make our Christmas a Christmas to remember with such excellent food. We were all very full when we left, and two of us are Texas size. Food portions were plenty. Even had some left overs to bring home.Service was friendly and fast, and we were not rushed out after we finished our meal.

We love Chef Johan and all the amazing food and service at Charivari. We only go once or twice a year because it's so special and amazing that we don't want it to become a mainstream experience (which it isn't). We love the European experience there and appreciate all the authentic Euro dishes. This place makes us very happy.

I had the red fish and OMG my mouth started doing a happy dance the minute it tasted this delicious dish. Chef Johann is great! He gave me a complete lesson on the nutritional benefit of the white asparagus that accompanied my fish. And his wife Maria is such a delightful, beautiful soul.
I ALWAYS leave Charivari Restaurant happy!!

Every dish in Chef Johann's creative repertoire is crafted with care, using carefully chosen ingredients that balance each other in both taste & texture and his meals are presented beautifully. I have not chosen a dish in all of my visits that has ever disappointed me. And for anyone who likes their fish properly prepared and not overcooked - you are in for a delicious fish dinner at Charivari! Enjoy!

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! Much nicer restaurant than we are used to but wait staff was awesome, friendly and not at all pretentious. Food, especially roast duck, was perfect. Would definitely go again.

Excellent food and ambiance for my wife and I on our date night. The waiters were great and very helpful in answering questions about the menu. We had a great time and look forward to coming back again sometime.

Charivari definitely adds culture to Houston. It has a nice, magnetic atmosphere. The manager/ owner was a delight. The food was outstanding, taste was magnificent. The portion size is smaller than what most are used to in Texas, but by no means did I leave feeling hungry. I was actually surprised at how stuffed I was.

Delicious dinner on Christmas Day. We have had dinner at Charivari each Christmas Eve or Christmas Day for the past few years, and we always enjoy our experience. Despite the challenges of serving a busy dining room on a holiday, the hardworking staff always delivers a great meal. In fact, the fish we have at Charivari is among the best in Houston -- freshness, temperature and taste are just right! Highly recommend.
