Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Upper Kirby / Shepherd Corridor

We went to the Marigold club for afternoon tea and all I can say is outstanding. The first thing you see is how beautifully decorated it is and we were seated at a lovely table for two. The wait staff is very attentive. The sandwiches and scones or something I’ve never had and all were very tasty. The toffee scone is simply delicious and is followed by a dish of beautifully decorated little desserts. The tea is different from any tea I’ve ever had in Houston. We will be coming back here for other meals they do have a dinner menu, which we didn’t see but I’m sure it’s just as delicious as everything else. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

We had another great meal at this restaurant! We eat there once a month. The food is consistently over the top and, relative to other seafood restaurants, a great value. We started with the fresh gumbo and homemade onion rings. Then it was bacon-wrapped shrimp and fried catfish. It was our first time to order these entrees. The shrimp were huge and perfectly done. The catfish was the best fried catfish I have ever eaten! The ambiance of the interior is so cool. The service is always great. We've had every server at one time or another and they are all professional but fun. There's a lot of tenure in that staff. The company obviously cares about the customers and their employees. We'll be back next month.

From the crispy shrimp and beet salad to the flavorful steak, caramel cake, and great coffee, every course was phenomenal. By far one of my favorite dinner experiences of the year and favorite steakhouses in Houston. Ask for MICHELLE A - Stellar waitress who was above and beyond and served with excellence and a great, fun attitude. Only complaint was the volume of the people sitting in the booth that is connected to ours.

Leo's is just gorgeous the service is delightful and helpful the chef can be heavy handed with the salt in fact our table ordered scallops and sent them back as unedible (too salty) the kitchen hastily remade that order and they were beautiful these things happen the prices are VERY high so most likely this will be a special occasion place for most people at the time of our reservation the crowd was sparse (more folks arrived later) and whoever decides where to seat the guest decided to put us right next to a well lit and bustling waiter station----was NOT cool nor did that add to the ambiance for us not appreciated at all

Juan provided exceptional service! He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout our visit. Thank you for making our experience truly memorable!
