Graffiti Raw

I really enjoy this place. I've come for brunch twice and service is always kind and friendly. The food is full of creativity and tastes great. My favorite so far has been the crab cakes and the grilled chicken plate (Ive forgotten the name).The drinks are delicious and it's a nice relaxing place for solo dates, brunch with friends, or a quiet date.

The ambiance of the restaurant makes for a perfect date night. The modern decor and lively music lend itself a great dinner. We chose the linguine allá vongole and the sphagheti rustichella for our two entrees. The were both amazing, but would recommend the linguine allá vongole, especially if you prefer a little spice. The spaghetti was good but didn't stand out. Our server was very attentive throughout the night. I would recommend a reservation as it may be hard to get a table inside as a walk in. They have a nice outdoor seating area but would recommend indoor for the full experience. On the weekends they do have $5 aperol spritz in the evenings.

Have been meaning to try Graffiti Raw since it opened and finally made it in on Mother's Day. The restaurant was less than half occupied which did not lend to an upbeat atmosphere but was actually nice because it was quiet enough for us to have a really nice visit with my parents. Our waitress could not have been better or more helpful. She made wonderful suggestions and was just an overall delight. For my main I ordered the forbidden rice bowl and subbed chicken for salmon. I don't know if that feels worth $31 but it was delicious and filling and I would absolutely order it again. Parking is kind of a pain in the *ss and I would be curious to see if it is more bopping on a Friday or Saturday night, but we will be back.

I really enjoyed going here. Me and my friends went for a Galentines dinner and I was not disappointed. Our server was very nice and suggested we try the Orange wine. This was my first time trying orange wine and I really liked it. We were also feeling a little boujee so we got the caviar and chips. I didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed the flavor combo with the salty caviar, light cream, and crunchy chip. I also liked how all the food on the menu were things you would see at most restaurants with a slight twist to it. My favorite dish was the fried rice. The restaurant itself is super cute and I love the decoration. It feels cute yet casual and low key at the same time. I didn't have high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised.

Beautiful dinner outside on the patio. Service with a smile and great recommendations on wine, a delicious white burgundy. Crab stuffed avocado, octopus, and mean green salad hit it out of the park. Crisp, fresh, bright and bold. Entrees, Cioppino and sea bass special, ridiculously good. Beet cake? The answer is YES!

One of my favorite restaurants in Houston! The food and cocktails are consistently great & the atmosphere is great for a girls night or celebration! Cant recommend this place enough!

Ambiance, is so California chic. The place is kind of small, and I actually love that. The restaurant felt very quaint and private. The service was quick and staff were all polite. They offer complementary valet next-door, just don't forget to validate your ticket.All of the ceviches on the menu sounded so good. We chose to go with family style dining and shared the red snapper, jicama, mango, and avocado one. It comes with some lightly salted crispy chips that pair perfectly with the ceviche. The main course we decided on was the clams and linguini that came in a white wine sauce with some mild spice (it does come spicier, but we told them mild). The pasta was so tender and the clams so juicy. The amount of sauce was light and aromatic. A great compliment to the dish, without being overwhelming, like some places.For dessert, we had the chocolate tart with pistachio crust and berry compote with a side of chocolate hazelnut ice cream. That was the cherry on top! I highly recommend coming here. I can't drink, since I'm expecting, but the drink/cocktails looked and sounded good too.

This new spot in the Montrose Collective is so aesthetic but also so delicious! I came here for a gorls dinner and it did not disappoint.For drinks, I got the Lustre Pearl, which reminded me of piña colada and I wanted to finish the whole thing!We got the roasted oysters to share, and this was so tasty with chipotle butter, parmesan, and breadcrumbs. Also the oysters were huge!For the main, I got Linguine Alla Vongole, which was with white clams, and it was so flavorful and garlicky despite having chili in it, it wasn't spicy at all, which was great for me since I'm bad with spicy food ):I finished everything with their beet cake, which reminded me of carrot cake but BEET. It was my first time having beet in a cake and after the initial shock, it was quite tasty LOL!This place gets packed quick so be sure to have reservations just in case!

I am so happy I finally got to try this place after hearing about it from literally EVERYONE lol. This place was super packed on a Friday night. I definitely recommend making a reservation if you want to get a table without waiting forever. I made a reservation days prior and still ended up waiting about 20 minutes. The inside of this place is super chic, reminded me of a restaurant that you can find near the beach in California. I loved the decor and it felt super cozy inside! We were greeted right away after seating with water and our waiter came shortly after to get our drink order and give us a brief run down of the menu since we were first timers. To start I ordered the collective, a pineapple mezcal based drink with white rum. It was delicious! I ended up ordering a few of these throughout dinner. For appetizers we ordered the caviar & chips, roasted oysters, and tiradito de salmon. All three were amazing. The roasted oysters were made with a chipotle mayo that was super tasty, I couldn't stop eating them. The tiradito de salmon tasted so fresh and the orange zest made it the most refreshing appetizer.Since we had a good amount of appetizers, for my entree I ordered the whole roasted branzino. This is a pretty small portion and no sides are included. It was perfect for me because I was starting to get full but if you are hungry, I would definitely a couple of sides to go with this. However, this branzino was delicious!Lastly, we ordered the tres leches for dessert. Super moist (as it should be) and delicious. And this is coming from a person that normally does not eat dessert! I also wanted to highlight the service that we recieved here. Dejah was amazing! She was attentive, knowledgable, and overall super entertaining. She kept us laughing all while provided 10/10 service. I will definitely be back :)

Came here on a weekday during happy hour. Waiter was great, knowledgeable and said all the items I ordered were good and he wasn't lying!Everything came out pretty fast, the ambiance was nice. Cute brunch spot, their decor so pretty too, lots of windows for a nice scenery.--Raw Oysters (5/5) - Refreshing! Not too briny and their from the East coast which are the smaller oysters. The smaller ones are always the better ones.--Chips and Caviar (5/5) - Nice little savory appetizer, chips with creme fraise and caviar that was not too briny.--Roasted Oysters (4/5) - Big gulf coast oysters. Good but not much flavor just a creamy crunchy texture.--Ceviche Combo (4/5) - Some were a bit fishy too me, but the sauce sort of steered me off the fishy ness.--Linguine Alla Vongole (4/5) - Creamy pasta with clams, the sauce was a bit too watery to my liking but it was still good. Hints of spiciness to it --Crab and Shrimp Fried Rice (5/5) - Very flavorful, reminds me of a Thai style fried rice but a better version. The basil, spiciness with some shrimp, crab, and they weren't shiesty on the eggs which is usually a problem to me.--The Jacy (5/5)- a spicy tequila drink that's right up my alley! Definitely coming back!
