Best Fine Dining Restaurants in The Woodlands

Jose was amazing and one of the best waiters we have had for years, at any restaurant!

Nestled in the heart of Market Street, Schilleci’s serves up an authentic from scratch Cajun food that’s hard to find outside Louisiana. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere transports you to the Louisiana bayou, with its rustic decor, soft jazz playing in the background, and the spicy, savory aroma of Cajun spices wafting through the air. The menu is a tribute to traditional Cajun flavors, featuring everything from jambalaya to crawfish étouffée, and each dish seems to carry a story. The gumbo, packed with sausage, shrimp, and tender chicken, is rich and smoky, with just the right amount of spice. It’s one of those dishes that wraps you in comfort with every bite. Their shrimp étouffée is a must-try, loaded with plump shrimp and served over fluffy rice that soaks up the decadent sauce beautifully. For those looking for a kick, the creole and aged ribeye to perfection didn’t disappoint— it’s a flavor bomb of bold spices, perfectly balanced. And if you’re a fan of po’boys, don’t miss out on their shrimp po’boy: fried to golden perfection and nestled in a fresh, soft baguette with a zesty sauce. Finish off with a beignet, fresh out of the fryer, dusted in powdered sugar. The staff is as warm as the cuisine, making you feel like family. For anyone craving an authentic Cajun experience with a hearty dose of Southern hospitality, and may my daughter birthday dinner incredibly special. This is a gem that will keep you coming back for more. This place is a true taste of Louisiana right here in The Woodlands. Thank you, Nikole!

I never write reviews (just function of being old!) but I just had to write this one. When I made the reservation, I noted that it was our 45 year wedding anniversary and asked if they could do something special. I expected maybe a rose or a dessert so imagine my surprise when we were escorted into a private room. There were rose petals galore on the table, a card, a 45 large numbers and soft music playing! Service was excellent, staff came by to congratulate us and food was superb. Thank you, Tris, for an incredible experience. You have earned our gratitude and our future business. Definitely our “ go-to” dining venue going forward. We are lucky to have such a great restaurant in The Woodlands!

Great service. Sommelier was spot on. Waitstaff was responsive and dedicated. Truffle Ravioli was on point!

Restaurant is way too dark - turn up the lights!!! Food was good but more expensive than other good steak houses in The Woodlands. Our server was excellent
