Best Hot Spot Restaurants in River Oaks

We ordered pretzel bun with steak tidbits. Served with a choice of potatoes, etc. we had sweet potato fries. Both delicious!! Portions were huge. Service was fabulous!!

Amazing experience for our family at Louie’s!! The staff was great in accommodating our reservation change earlier in the date (adding more people) and once we got there for dinner, everything was great! From the table to the ambience, the service, the drinks, the food and the bill, we were pretty pleased. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! Make sure you reserve because it is always packed.

We are visiting friends in the area and remembered that we had a great meal at YOLO a few years ago, so we dined here again last night. Reservations strongly suggested, as this place gets very busy. We were seated right away, and server was at our table promptly. My Open Table profile notes a shellfish allergy, and our server was aware. I neglected to note our friends gluten allergy, but he asked specifically about the dish he ordered to make sure nothing was breaded.The server told him there was not. Since our appetizer options were limited due to both allergies, my husband ordered french fries as a starter. Apparently the server took offense to this and questioned my husband’s order with a fair amount of attitude. Typically nicer restaurants are very cautious when it comes to food allergies, but the server clearly didn’t take our friend seriously and he was served a dish that did in fact have breaded onion straws on top, which contain gluten. The food here is excellent. I wouldn’t want to take away from that. But our server was arrogant and rude, not to mention he completely disregarded a serious food allergy, and that’s 50% of the impression we were left with. Such an unfortunate thing in such a beautiful restaurant with delicious food. If I could review on the meal alone, I’d give 5 stars, but front of the house service is as important as back, and in this dining experience, we were left with a bad taste in our mouths.

We had a wonderful dinner at Takato! We had an excellent waiter, Adam, who made great menu and drink recommendations!! The service was stellar and very prompt. Loved the restaurant vibe which was cool and sophisticated. We sat on the patio on a cool night with a warm fire. It felt like Miami Beach with the fantastic waiter, amazing food and cool ambiance! We will be back!

We had a wonderful dining experience. I had the Scottish salmon and my partner had the cod. Both were delicious. We shared garlic mashed potatoes. Yummy! I had red sangria! The best sangria I have had in a long time. Since it was my birthday the gelato was a great way to end the meal. Keep it up. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.
