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.

    As always, the seafood gumbo and grilled snapper were excellent. The dark roux of the gumbo is some of the best I've had. I recommend the okra and tomato sides.

    Food was great, drinks were great; only drawback was when the waiter brought our bill “he said, we have another party coming in ten minutes”. Ruined the entire evening with that one statement. Certainly made it feel like we were a number and they needed to flip the table. Revenue is important as are tips for the servers; but my recommendation to management is to work with the people to find a way to flip tables without the customer feeling pressured to “get out”.

    As always the food is delicious. Service is usually top notch but today’s visit at lunch wasn’t at its best, filling tea and water mainly. Key lime pie for dessert was so good. Dirty rice a must!

    The food was fresh and very tasty. The raw oysters were large and juicy. The soup was the perfect temperature. The deserts were very good and the right size.

    The food and service was great! For an appetizer, we had the crab stuffed jalapeños and they were good and flavorful! I tried a cup of crab and corn bisque and it was good as well! It was full of crabmeat! For my main dish I had the stuffed shrimp and my wife has the grilled snapper topped with crabmeat. The quality of the food was top notch and the ingredients are fresh. Our server Jennifer was awesome! Next time we go, we will ask for her. I highly recommend this restaurant!
