Restaurants near Sam Houston National Forest

Chef Martin and Server Leah were great !! The layout of the resturant is open an airy with great ambiance!

First Thanksgiving experience at this favorite restaurant. Very busy when we arrived, but we were seated quickly and service was attentive and prompt throughout. Our waiter, Ian, was wonderful and engaging, kept things moving without dinner feeling rushed. We had time to enjoy a glass of wine before salads/soup and dinner was served timely afterwards. Portions were generous and warm in addition to being delicious. We finished with the pumpkin cheesecake which was a hit with all. Overall, a nice way to spend Thanksgiving with friends, without all the fuss of making your own meal. We would do it again and would recommend to others (though next year will likely be an old fashioned Thanksgiving again, for this family).

Had the Florida Stone Crab for a starter and the Miso Seabass for entree and I can honestly say it was the best tasting and highest quality seafood I’ve had this year. Outstanding in all respects. Try it!

I can’t say enough about the world class level of customer focus by the team at Zanti’s. We always feel welcome like we are coming home - that is real! Ramon, who never takes a break, was spectacular as usual showing his repertoire in amazing fashion. Jose was very attentive and the food runners were timely and super professional. We love Zanti’s!

Dinner for our anniversary! Our server was Amy, and she was amazing! Had a nice view of the lake, too. All of the food was wonderful! Nothing disappointed ! Great wine list & full bar. Expansive menu too ! Some truly great Italian dishes, and everything was so fresh. And the rolls....to die for ! We will be back !
