Restaurants near Opera in the Heights

Loved it. Met the owners, who were incredibly welcoming. He’s the chef/creator and offers a menu of varied European dishes. Everything we ate was delicious. Sweet Czech folks who know what they’re doing!

Our dinner at Drake’s was just what we needed for a date night and a special time together for my boyfriends birthday. I appreciate the grace as we were running late and the team was accommodating and kind, even though we were behind schedule and closing was at 10p. Thank you for the hospitality. A little bit of kindness goes very long way.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been in Houston. The short rib was amazing, their carrots, and drinks are all a hit! Service was amazing, it’s very intimate and warm. Love it

Excellent food & service. We would highly recommend however beware of the chicken in the rice & beans cooked with pork juice. We are pescatarian & wasn’t aware. The manager did apologize & offer us free dessert & a gift card. Fun & spirited place. Salsa & chips delicious as were the shrimp tacos.

I had given up on this restaurant because of the previous manager. I had a terrible experience at Ranch Saloon at the rodeo in 2023, and I mentioned it to the mgr when I took a friend to Trattoria soon after that. He was so incredibly dismissive (as was the mgr at the Saloon) like the entire evening should have been expected because of the large crowd. Then the waitress would not let me order what I wanted from the lunch menu, and overcharged my friend and me. I’m so happy to try y’all again. The food was delicious today, and Luca was a fabulous waiter! Now I’ll be back on a regular basis with my family!
