About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Eugene’s has the best seafood dishes. Our table had halibut, salmon, and scallops. Also one of us had the Sunday brunch boudin Benedict. All dishes were delicious.

    I just love Eugene’s! The service is excellent! The food is amazing! I love the ambiance. We go at least once per month and are never disappointed. Have the gumbo or the shrimp, the oysters or Salads, etc. But don’t miss the amazing peanut butter pie. It is so good that I’ve never had the key lime, my favorite!
