Review Relish Restaurant & Bar - Houston

Visited a few weeks ago. Relish is a good vibe. Our waitress was friendly and personable. If I locate the receipt, I'll update with her name. My pasta wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped but it was satisfying and well portioned. My friend had chicken which was large and tasty. Great presentation. Attentive service and welcoming ambiance. A little chilly, but I'll be more prepared next time. We plan to revisit and try their other dishes

An excellent brunch spot in Houston! The Deviled Eggs were very unique with small fried chicken on too and absolutely delicious. The Biscuits and Eggs were great and the pancakes are incredibly fluffy and the whipped cream was just as delicious.

Everything they serve is amazing. I ordered the pork chop and it has to be one of the best I've had. We had the deviled eggs, mac n cheese and lobster bisque for appetizers and they were all amazing, my favorite was the lobster bisque.

I met some friends here on a weekend as it’s one of their favorite places to go to in Houston. I came there a few minutes early ahead of our reservation, and noticed Valet outside. There were a few parking spots also blocked off for Valet Parking. The parking lot was shared with Chuy’s and other stores. After going inside, I was greeted and asked if I had a reservation. I waited for a little bit before requesting to sit at a table. A few minutes later, my friends joined me, and upon which time a waiter had greeted us and asked if we wanted any drinks. My friends ordered an Old Fashioned and wine whereas I ordered a You Can’t Buy A Backbone. We also ordered Deviled Eggs and Raw Gulf Coast Oysters for appetizers. I also ordered a Pappardelle & Mushrooms for dinner. The service from our waiter was great. My friends really enjoyed their drink. Mine was alright. The deviled eggs were interesting. They were topped with fried chicken and a maple syrup glaze. I was a big fan of the fried chicken and maple syrup portion. I haven’t had oysters in over 5 years so I was educated on the best way to eat these by friends. The oysters were served with cocktail sauce, hot sauce, crackers, and a pepper sauce on the side. We had four oysters each. Two of the oysters had cocktail sauce and hot sauce on top, which made it quite good. The oyster without any sauces on top was pretty salty for me. The oyster with the pepper sauce was interesting; it wasn’t spicy by any means. The pappardelle & mushrooms was quite small in terms of quantity. It was very flavorful and the 3 different kinds of mushrooms (choice mushrooms picked by the chef) present in the dish were quite tasty. They definitely gave a hint of an umami profile. I recommend you stop by and give this place a try.

Come see Adolfo!! Relish was a pleasant surprise for me! What a great menu! Great service in a vibrant atmosphere! This is truly a River Oaks hot spot!

Relish is a must go to restaurant! I had the best deviled eggs I’ve ever eaten in my life! Their pear salad with shrimp was amazing and I got their skillet brownie with ice cream. 😋 I got that mainly for my son but I did have a few bites. The service is impeccable as well! Thank you Maury, Abraham, Logan, and Pedro for the recommendations! I will be back!

Me and the wife stopped by for some dinner in their outdoor seating area. On a beautiful September night in Houston it was really nice. Service was great and the food was good. The salmon I received was cooked perfectly with a nicely salted crust. The tzatziki sauce I thought would be out of place in this dish but it paired well. My wife ordered the gulf snapper though and that was REALLY good when I tasted it. Definitely recommend that dish. The oysters were a good starter. Definitely a repeat spot.

This was the first time I've been here but always heard good things. I don't remember our servers name but he was great, I have 3 young children so if the server can keep up they are usually pretty good in my book. The food was good, we got oysters and the deviled eggs which were soooo good! I also got the flank steak...I think 🤔, it has asparagus and mashed potatoes and those potatos were delicious 🤤. Honestly it was a little 🤏🏽 over priced but not to bad. My children got the kids pasta with red sauce and they loved it. Overall it was good. 👍🏼

Visited Relish for an office lunch. The atmosphere was very nice and the restaurant was full of guest. However, we did not have a long wait for a table. Once, seated the service was great. The servers were very attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. I had the green apple salad which was very fresh. I enjoyed the salad and look forward to visiting again.

I think I may have to write a review every time I come to Relish! Our experience was superb, as usual. The service is truly impeccable! The owner came by to check on us multiple times, in a friendly, professional, non-intrusive, genuinely-caring way. Our server, Logan, was professional, knowledgable, clearly very experienced, and he had such a fun personality. The food was delicious as always: the deviled eggs (we could eat hundreds of those!), wedge salad, chicken marsala and crab cake. Y U M!!! Thank you for another fantastic experience! We'll be back asap!

First visit 7/6/21 for National Fried Chicken Day. Had fried chicken (3 pieces, will request all white meat next time) mustard greens, and mac & cheese. It was all tasty. For dessert I had the brownie skillet and it was heavenly. Almost in tears heavenly. Free valet parking available

Relish is a solid spot for a nice weekend brunch. I liked the chill vibe and appreciated the menu variety. I went with the chicken and waffles and a side of grapefruit brûlée. Chicken & waffles was standard & good- I would order again. The grapefruit brulee was perfect. Cocktail: Rosé Spritz - ahhh this cocktail perfectly sweet and pretty to look at! It seems this was a popular cocktail as well (almost every table had one). I Would DEFINITELY order again. The wait to get seated wasn't bad at all, the staff was friendly, professional, and helpful. The interior feels spacious and fosters such a calm and comfortable vibe. I'd recommend a visit!

We went on a Saturday and was told that they have a happy hour from 11-5pm. Mimosas were $5 and select cocktails and wines were $6. I got the chicken (thigh) and waffles and it was excellent! I did ask for butter though. The service service was great and the atmosphere was nice. I think it's a cute brunch or date spot.

Tell the server everyone is getting their own personal order as the deviled eggs come three to an order and believe me you will not want to share. With a crispy piece of fried chicken on top of the deviled egg with just the right amount of mustard, horseradish, and droplets of maple syrup for the chicken these are the best deviled eggs in town. Fantastic happy hour starting at 3 p.m. with excellent service. Go with their cheese and charcuterie boards, smoked beef carpaccio, and deviled eggs. We got the Rose 75 and Love Ya Blue for drinks, chicken saltimbocca and roast chicken marsala for entrees. The manager checked on us twice with the server also being extremely attentive. This was our second time here and we'll keep coming back. Be sure to make reservations!

Walked in on a Friday night and got seated immediately. Unfortunately we were right next to the cash register so our conversation was paused every time wait staff went to print checks for their tables... but we did not have a reservation so that is understandable. The food surpassed expectations. We ordered oysters as a starter, and pasta as for the main. Would return here.

Very cozy and quaint place with impeccable service!! All the servers were extremely nice helpful, and made our dinner a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We ordered the crab cake as an appetizer and it was delish!! *chef's kiss* I had the old fashioned and it was pretty good so I had to order a 2nd one lol My friend ordered the Masala was sooo flavorful!! The parmesan cauliflower is a must try!!

GREAT SERVICE! I had the beef carpaccio, cheeseburger with bacon, and carrot cake. Also tried the Ross 75, lavendar sour, and Irish coffee. I really enjoyed the beef carpaccio the most because it was so delicate, and I have never tried fried capers before. My favorite part of the meal was the carpaccio, but if you don't like mustard, you might want to request without it. The cheeseburger tastes very good, and has home grilled char. I suggest getting extra aioli to dip your fries. The carrot cake is good and goes well with the Irish coffee. I most highly recommend the beef carpaccio and the lavendar sour (more sweet than sour).

It’s our neighborhood gem and Houston’s too! Their fried chicken and fried okra are the best. Wine list and cocktails are unique and good!

I dream about their salads (I recommend the kale salad with their roasted cauliflower in place of chicken, soooo good). Everything I have had here is excellent. The ambiance is wonderful. Great job all around.

The food, beverages, service are top notch and excellent! Highly recommend!!!

The deviled eggs were yummy so I thought we were off to a good start. But our entrees were bland. I got the rotisserie chicken and my husband got the chicken sandwich. Both of them lacking in flavor in big ways. My rotisserie chicken was dry. I am in no rush to go back.

Everything from beginning to end was delicious, fresh and full of flavor. The service was impeccable, particularly from Ed. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

First time at Relish...Fabulous...great food, service, atmosphere. We have found a new place!!!!

This place rocks!!! The food was so delicious! The vegetables were fresh and bartender is one of a kind! We will definitely be back soon!

Have been here before. Once again the service was great as was the food. We had the artichoke and the rotisserie chicken. Delicious!

Our favorite cool spot! Love everything about this restaurant. Everyone is wonderful.

At a friend's suggestion, my daughter and I ate there. We had the special grilled cheese sandwich with aioli sauce and the grilled veggie sandwich, with great sides. We capped it off with a salted caramel brownie -- the BEST brownie I've ever put in my mouth, and I've had thousands over the years! We will definitely be back.

The Chicken salad sandwich with tomato basil soup was superb.... I'd definitely keep going back to try everything on that menu ... so clean and the atmosphere is very inviting...

They have a fantastic happy hour! The staff and owners are all AMAZING!

Great open atmosphere and service (Ed the bartender was fantastic!) with simple delicious food. I will be back!

The Quail & Cauliflower was EXCELLENT ... Our mixologist made an Infused Vodka drink with Lemon, Grapefruit, Rosemary and Jalepeni and it was SUPERB!!! Definitely a fav spot from here on out!!!

Loved it. Had the redfish with broccolini, Brussel sprouts and the beet salad. All tasted wonderful. Plus...I can still taste the perfect French 75! Hoping to host a private event here! 👍

Deviled eggs. You're welcome.

All I have to say. Grilled cheese with aioli sauce

Our thanks to Dustin, Addie (spelling?), Bryan, and our sever Ryan. What a wonderful dinner. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant. The service was impeccable. I do not possess the words to describe how wonderfuly delicious every item was. Please take the time to visit Relish next time you're in the Upper Kirby area.
