- JGJamesGHouston •17 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoWe had a nice meal in a casual and fun setting near Discovery Green. The food was OK but not great. The appetizers were top notch. I had the sole, which was ok but had too much butter and was a little over cooked. But overall it was a pretty good meal.More infoBrasserie du ParcPrice: Expensive• French• Downtown•4.6
