Great location, service and atmosphere. Small place but big taste. Had beef short rib with Brussels sprouts and son had a patty melt. Both well above average w big portions. Price was moderate. Parking wasn’t bad either. Recommend when in Houston

Ozgur was incredible! On a spectrum of good, better, best; service first two nights were better, third night with Ozgur was the best.

I was late 15 minutes for a 4:30 reservation and they cancelled. There were many open tables available. Very Unhappy!! Hostess was rude.

Picked Hearsay Mkt Sq for a Sunday Brunch because they took reservations and reviews indicated food and service were reasonable. Very disappointed in both. We ordered Mac and Cheese and Brussels Sprouts as starters. Mac and cheese was very bland and had less flavor than Kraft, brussels sprouts were ok but a bit soggy. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles for my entree and the waffle was more the consistency of a pancake. No crispy exterior like a waffle should have. Chicken was OK but bland - no seasoning to the batter at all. Others in the group had the same experience. Service was passable but our coffee wasn't refilled unless you specifically asked for it and servers once they delivered the food really didn't show up again unless you flagged them down.

Great food, great cocktails, very attentive staff. Restaurant has an upstairs dinning area along with downstairs dinning. Beautiful restaurant with soft music in background. Went on a weeknight and was crowded, luckily we had reservations. Valet parking was available.

The most unpleasant discriminatory experience I've ever had in my life. From
the hostess to the waiter extremely unprofessional and rude. I had made a
reservation for a party of six; I have requested to arrive before 5p.m. (that's
original reservation time) in order to arrange the table since it was a
Bachelorette dinner, I was told there was not a problem. I arrived around
4:45p.m. they gave us a horrible table when I have requested one on the
second level. One of the guests stayed while the others were arriving.; by the
time I got back with the bride to be, we were thrown from the uncomfortable
given table and they told us to deal with a 2 person's table and that we have
to leave ASAP since there was another reservation. This was our first and last
time at this place, we left to another restaurant. It was so humiliating and I
felt terrible for the bride to be. I hope this review helps others from avoiding
such a horrible experience I will NEVER recommend this place.

Started off with a Sazerac and a drink made with fresh cilantro. If your into old fashions, then the Sazerac is a must! Like cilantro? The “cilantro drink” (can’t remember name) was spot on. Now on to the main dishes! We had the bacon wrapped shrimp! The jumbo bacon wrapped shrimp cooked to perfection and paired well with the buttery grits! The beef short ribs and mashed potatoes have a great savory flavor. The only thing wrong with the grilled Brussels sprouts was - you’ll be wanting more! Those things are the boom diggity!

Apparently survived the “Covid Winter” of past few years and is still in business.
At lunch, I tried the fettuccine with shrimp and sausage and cherry tomatoes. It had the right amount of spice, I thought.
Drinking only water, the total with tax & tip was about $27, so maybe a bit more than expected for upscale bar food.

My wife and I are attending the Rotary International Convention this week. We spent the day walking around the convention, we’re tired and hungry looking for a nice place to eat. We ended up here, not really knowing what we were getting into. Manny and Max took care of us, had a great dinner and drinks, totally enjoying our time. We will probably be back for another happy hour and or dinner before leaving Houston.
Thank you for your service and quality!

I was only able to get a very early reservation on a Saturday for our party of four. The reason was quickly apparent as the place really filled up fast. We didn't drink, despite the huge bar and extensive wine and drinks list, but the food alone was worth the visit, the menu being a mix of sandwiches, Mexican-style dishes, pastas and more. Despite the large selection what we ordered was delicious. The setting, a historical building right next to Market Square, was visually stunning. We had such a good time that the manager came and asked us to leave so another party could occupy our table (we were lingering too long, admittedly).
