The Chefs Table Houston

Ok so I have to say, I wanted to try something new and I had not expected to walk away wondering how to get my husband to Houston just to come here. I sat in the cocktail area with Jessica and had a fabulous time. The vibes of the restaurant are great. Everything was so so so good. But I have to give the second biggest shout out to the dip. Probably one of the BEST dips I have ever had. Spinach and artichoke? Yes please. Add in some goat cheese, the G.O.A.T. of all cheeses? Yes please. I could have made a meal out of that alone. Every course and every drink was a home run. Truly no notes. BIGGEST shout out goes to Jessica. She was attentive and helpful because I had a lot of questions, but she also gave me space as I was on a solo date with myself reading my new novel and catching up on emails and texts after a busy day. She absolutely nailed the balance. Her support team and managers were also fantastic and stepped in seamlessly when needed, which as someone who worked in fine dining for nearly a decade, makes the difference between a good experience and a truly great one. I travel to Houston a few times a year for work and I will be back 100%. Now the only question is whether I try the dining room next time or grab a seat at the bar again.

We made a reservation for a quiet booth on a Friday night. It turned out to be a beautiful evening so we asked for outside seating when we arrived and they switched us with no issues. We got there at 5 so we were able to try the happy hour specials. The margaritas were our favorite. Our server Jane was excellent and explained all the dishes perfectly. Husband had the ostrich and prawns-loved it. I had chicken florentine- awesome. The wine choice was extensive and the bottle we had was very nice. Tried a few sides and no complaints. Creme brulee and cappuccino were perfect. Can't wait to go back!

Service was so great. It was our first time and our waiter answered all.of our questions honestly and gave us suggestions. The food would have gotten 5, but the Mac and cheese could have been more cheesy and the veggies has this sauce that was ok. Maybe get them with out it. However the lamb, clamp chowder, lobster pasta, 5 cheese potatoes were sooo delicious. This is definitely a place to go in Houston. OH the spiced budding for desert was everything. The dessert is the birthday portion size not the paid for dessert.

The food here was absolutely amazing! Our server Daniel took great care of us as well, and was an absolute delight to talk to. He even ran after us after we had left to return an item one of my friends had accidentally left behind. Very fancy atmosphere, and once again, the food was delicious, well made, and absolutely worth the price you pay for it. 11/10 would go again. 🙏🏾

We tried The Chef Table for the first last night on my birthday (Christmas Eve) and it was amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious! I had the Backyard Braii... so ,many different flavors in one plate, each distinct but they all blend together. It completely satisfied my palate! My husband had a the Filet Mignon with one of their homemade sauce... blue cheese, bacon and raspberry... another WOW! Meat was cooked perfectly and the sauce and the wine was the perfect complement. Even the stuffed mushrooms, which might sound ordinary and common... they were made in such a delicious way! We were so full, but I was thankful for the birthday dessert treat, a wonderful way to end the meal especially paired with a black decaf coffee. I wanted to mention "Linda". She provided excellent service and took care of us! Thank you, Chef Paul Friedman, for introducing and sharing your culinary journey with us. Merry Christmas. Highly Recommend! -Lili and Greg
