Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Astrodome

Great food and wait staff. Our server Angela is the best!!!!!

What a wonderful dining experience! Kudos to the waiters whose timing was impeccable - they did not rush us but seemed to always be there when needed. The food was great - There were 6 of us, and everyone loved what they ordered. Don’t miss the key lime dessert - oh my!! The noise level was a bit high, but it was an energy that did not interfere with our conversation . Can’t wait to return to La Griglia.

Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

A early lunch with friends was made most enjoyable by the tasteful decor and sound dampening ceiling installed in the Bistro. We were able to converse easily. The menu offered both light and hearty dishes. The potato and manchego cheese balls appetizer provided enough for three people. The French Onion soup did not satisfy the traditional expectations. Rather than brûléed cheese atop french bread, the cheese sank to the bottom. Flavor was good though. The entrees of trout, quiche Lorraine and chicken and artichoke crepes were delicious and well cooked. The mash of cauliflower and potatoes was served with a generous dollop of butter. The cold zucchini side was very tasty as were the chunky Bistro fries. The side salad was fresh but the oil was too strong. Acid or salt would have helped brighten the flavor. Staff was attentive without being intrusive. Prices were reasonable for an elevated dining experience.

Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!
