Underbelly is a great restaurant
I know i'm in the minority, but it's not one of my favorite restaurants in Houston. It's really, really good and I love how he uses Houston as his inspiration, but for some reason I never leave there thinking, "Man, I can't wait to go back"...That said, I can certainly see why other people, the majority, think it's great.
I've talked to Chris a handful of times at Hay Merchant. He's a great guy and ambassador for Houston's food scene. His ability and willingness to take criticism/suggestions is a rarity in the high end restaurant business.

Underbelly's wine list alone would have me coming back. Really nice value there.
If I lived in Houston I think it's the type of place I would want to eat @ the bar alone maybe once a month. They have a bar, right? I'm trying to remember the front of the space.

I've only been there once. I thought the service was a bit hipsterish, specifically that the server seemed to continually insert himself into my experience, telling me his favorite things on the menu, etc, which generally is a peeve of mine. I liked the menu, it was eclectic and had a lot of interesting sounding things on it. Execution was just okay. I didn't find the food to be that great. I had a roast with some braised greens. The roast was really, really tough, like laughably tough. I would like to go back though as every restaurant has off nights and I like what they're doing.
