Cleo Lounge

Went there midday on a Saturday for a 1st date - it was a slower time of day but the food and service were absolutely amazing. Met the owner on the way out, she was super sweet and truly cared about our experience at Cleo's. Pictured all my food, and here are my ratings:Lamb special - 10/10 - I don't normally care for lamb but omg this was sooo tender, flavorful and pared perfectly with the veggies given. Def order this if it's still available!Crab cakes - 8/10 - they were good crab cakes, exactly what you'd hope for but felt as tho it was missing a crunch to itShrimp - 10/10 - my favorite, sweet with a tiny bit of spice, crunchy/crispy fried shrimp. Order this!Short rib- 7/10 - my rating is not Cleo's fault, I just personally do not care for short rib. My date ordered this, I tried it and it was actually pretty good. He absolutely love it and said it was the best thing on the menu. Creole Croquettes - 8/10 - crispy bites with soft centers, it was savory with a slight Italian cheesy taste to them. I kind of wish instead of the drizzle we were given a dip, but I would still order this again as it comes.Ambiance - 10/10 - it is an amazing venue and wonderful for a first date. Great music, comfy and clean lounge bar area (we didn't go to the restaurant side), and loved the murals and art. I plan on returning for brunch soon. I'll keep you all updated!

Ambiance is nice however, their service is extremely slow. We came in at noon, and well its 1:30pm now and my party of 5 still haven't gotten a plate place in front of them. There isn't even a ton of people in here. There's only a group of maybe 20 people in the back seating area. We also received dirty glassware. I hate to talk down on black businesses but this wait time is ridiculous.Update: the food was okay. I had grilled fish and grits. There was a ton of grits with one piece of grilled tilapia. Again, food was okay. My friend had the crab cake Benedict and French toast she said hers was amazing!

I've been meaning to try this spot for a long time but it is so far from me (in Pearland) so I never got a chance until this past Sunday! I made reservations a couple of days before and received several follow ups (text, phone call and email) to ensure that I was still coming and when I got there I waited at the hostess stand for over 5 minutes before someone came to assist me. I assumed that having a reservation would grant you seating in the main dining area by the bar a, but instead we had to sit in the back so that was annoying. I did like ambiance of the restaurant. They had little couches and tables and an outdoor patio with a saxophonist playing songs so it was definitely a vibe. Our waiter was really nice and attentive too so I appreciate that considering the reservation mishap. We ordered a variety of things on the menu including a bottle of champagne for mimosa, the chicken and waffles, braised short rib poutine, katafi shrimp, and potato and lamb samosa. HonestlyC everything tasted really good! Literally no complaints! I even took some leftovers home and it was just as good the next day! I would probably come back next time for happy hour if I were in the area.

Upscale restaurant and the food was very good. Service was good. Looking forward to sitting at the bar on on the patio, next time

I love this spot. I like to meet with friends and mingle here. The only drawback is they have no vegan options. They have live music and the ambiance is perfect and nice croup of customers.I will be going back soon!

Let's talk about Cleo LoungeThis place has the capability to be amazing but they are missing one fundamental component. Service. You will sit and wait for tables that are empty and when you get seated you will not see any server for a minute. This place had the food, music, and vibe but without service it's nothing.

Went to have drinks and appetizers. We set at the bar. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The Monte Crystal egg rolls are everything. The music was good too!! They do automatically put gratuity and it was just 2 of us

I went to Cleo Lounge over the weekend for a Friend's bday dinner. We were seated in the area which is a nice lounge area with couches and lounge chairs. The ambiance is classy and chill. They had good music going over the speakers. For my drink, I ordered a Strawberry Hennessy Lemon Drop which was 10/10. For food, I thankfully arrived during happy hour and ordered off of the 3 for $27 menu. The food was pretty mid. Since our party got too big we relocated outside on the patio where there was DJ playing good music. Everything was great about our service until we moved outside. I do not remember our waiters name but she was a very sweet woman who was doing her beat to stay on top of things. She did let us know that tables were getting piled on her. We kept having to remind her about missing food and drink items. Overall, I had an okay experience at Cleo lounge.

The Review: Cleo's is in Pearland but not that deep in the city, which is great for people coming from the beltway. I had the braised short rib, and it had potatoes and egg inside. I loved it! The sax player in the restaurant was fantastic and gave the place a good vibe. The staff was on point and didn't wait long on food and the managers ensured everyone was ok and that the food was coming out. Overall great experience, and I will most definitely return.My friends:I had chicken and waffles. The waffles were the best I've had in a long time crispy and great vanilla flavor and wings were crispy.I had the Crab cake benedict with a side of grits. They use a fried green tomato in place of the typical English muffin and it came with potatoes. I really enjoyed my food and the vibe. The staff was very attentive. My only complaint is they're located in Pearland, I wish they were closer in the city so I could go more often.I also had the short ribs. I am not sure if it wasn't enough meat or too many potatoes for me. But the flavor was good. The egg on top was supposed to be over easy but was fried a little too hard. Overall I enjoyed the vibe and definitely would return.I had the Crab Cake Benedict as well! The fried green tomato was unexpected but a delicious twist! I also had the Mini Monte Cristo appetizer and it was really good. To drink, I had a Pearland Margarita. It was ok but switched it up and had the Flora Margarita. Amazing! Service was great. Vibe was amazing! Close to home. I'd definitely return.The saxophone player was awesome!!! He kept the customers engaged. Food overall I give it a 2 out 5 stars. It just didn't have the flavor I was hoping to get. Presentation was good but I was looking for the Southern; I am licking my fingers type of vibe.I had the French toast topped with powder sugar, pralines, strawberries and blueberries. I also have a side of potatoes. Both were delicious. I'd definitely return.Loved the vibe and really liked my food; I had the fish and grits. It was well seasoned and hot when it arrived.Great customer service; I felt like the staff really cared that we enjoyed ourselves. I'll be returning.

Had a birthday celebration here, place was very nice. The owner was very welcoming it was a clear day outside. Walked in the owner help me to decide if I wanted the lounge area or the dining area. My waitress was asking us what we wanted to drink and I choose the flora margarita and decided to eat the lollipop chicken wings. Everything look very tasty. The chicken wings were good they had a sauce on them like a barbecue sauce but it wasn't sure of it was barbecue. but it was good. I also tried my cousin sliders and those were good. Music was good and at a normal level to where we could hear each other and talk. Would defeintly will be back Crispy chicken wings lollipop 9/10Flora margarita 9/10Akashi sliders 8/10
