Owned and operated by the Teas family for over 15 years, Eugene's (formally Danton’s Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen), continues to serve Houston's finest Cajun-style Gulf Coast Cuisine. Conveniently located between Montrose and River Oaks. The restaurant is a neighborhood spot where everyone feels at home.

Join us in celebrating the flavors and traditions of the Gulf Coast in a charming, casual-fine dining atmosphere. All our dishes are made from scratch (except the Ranch dressing and Blue Bell ice cream) and our seafood and steaks are grilled over a wood-burning fire of oak and hickory. The freshest seafood, USDA certified beef steaks, delicious sides, daily specials, decadent desserts, wonderful wines, best martini’s in town and genuine Southern hospitality are a few of the things that will keep you coming back.

    So many Nats at a table by the bar. Maybe away from the bar would be better. Oysters were sold as either California or Texas. Served with 3-4 inch oysters. Validated from Galveston. Ate a few and returned most of them. Service was challenging as bartender was serving many tables on a Friday night. Wine selection was good and salad vinaigrette was above average. Stuffed Red Fish was overcooked, but the dirty rice selection made up for it a bit. I have been coming here for years, maybe a bad day. It feels that the owners are under investing in maintaining or improving.

    Very nice New Orleans style restaurant with great service. Ordered chicken and sausage gumbo which needed just a touch of Tabasco.

    Filet mignon with sweet potato and fried onions was delightful. Perfectly cooked to medium-rare and very tender. The crab cake was excellent as well. Every dinner we’ve had here has been perfectly served snd perfectly prepared.

    Service was subpar and ruined the evening. Service is usually very attentive. The server tonight was inattentive, uninspired and disengaged. It took about 10 minutes at 6:00 for our server to even appear. We had to ask for lemons three times and crackers twice. We ordered a desert by mistake and wanted to modify the order but never got an opportunity. Next time we saw the server, he presented us the bill. The oysters were very enjoyable, as always.

    Thank you for making me aware and Terribly sorry about your service. We do have a couple of new servers. Can you tell me who it was? Kyle
