Houston Restaurant Recommendations?

What area? It is very spread out here and can easily take an hour to get across town.

I think Truluck’s is great

Frenchy’s

Would strongly recommend Riel to anyone wanting a good meal and polished service. Our waiter knew everything about the menu in detail and was very enthusiastic when explaining something to us.

Outside of the restaurant, small spot with complimentary valet like many restaurants.







Here is the menu for 27-Jan, which changes with the seasons.




Here is the "texas blue crab" appetizer, it was very tasty. Lots of butter in it but not too overwhelming....the bacon did it for me. Huge bacon fan here.






Wife (no pics) had the duck which was awesome. The yellow sauce you see around the edge was a sweet potato puree with thai chili and ginger in it...was perfect to eat with the meat.






I got the hanger steak, medium rare. Blew my mind it was so tender....

I think Riel is pretty good, good happy hour deals...the hanger is by far the best entree. Between them and Roost it’s nice to have a few neighborhood spots that are within walking distance.
