Hearsay Market Square

Upon a recommendation from the concierge, we visited hearsay. We ordered deviled eggs and meatballs to start. Absolutely phenomenal and recommend!Entres were great as well. I chose the scallops while others chose fish. Both were delicious. Our server was polite and provided great recommendations for us. The restaurant was busy and quiet enough you could hear others at the table which was nice. I'd definitely return.

We had a nice dinner here for Valentine's Day. J. made a reservation for us and I was excited to check it out after hearing good things about Hearsay. We were promptly seated upon arriving and our servers were very kind and attentive.The restaurant has an interesting aesthetic with a beautiful chandelier giving a fine dining feel, but also with a more relaxed atmosphere from the bar and sports TV. We had a booth seat and were excited to look through the menu before deciding on the Valentine's Day special.We opted for the charcuterie platter as our appetizer, the pistachio crusted lamb chops and surf and turf for our entrees, and the love bomb for dessert. Our appetizer was a big hit, we loved the cheese and meats which went wonderfully with the warm, crispy pretzel. I haven't had a pretzel on a charcuterie board before but I'm a fan now! For our entrees, we were underwhelmed by the filet mignon, but the grilled shrimp, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and lamb chops were a big hit. The dessert was lovely and we enjoyed watching our server hit the shell to reveal the yummy ice cream underneath! This was a nice Valentine's Day special and experience at a romantic restaurant in downtown Houston. I liked that the special included a bottle of wine - we opted for the Cabernet which we thoroughly enjoyed. All things considered, we were a bit disappointed by how the filet mignon turned out but we loved the rest of our meal. I would consider coming back here, likely for a Houston Restaurant Weeks meal in the future!

This was a great brunch. We did not have a reservation, but received quick, friendly service at the bar. I have not been to downtown Houston in a while, but this was a great "old school" atmosphere, combined with modern music, and a New American Vibe. We very much enjoyed the experience, and would recommend to our friends.

The food was really fresh and delicious. We tried the calamari and shrimp, wagyu melt, seared salmon , and Mac and cheese. The mocktails were a little more one note but still refreshing, I tried the strawberry lime one. Our waiter was kind and attentive. If you come at dinner time, you get a candle lit beside you. The entire ambience of the establishment screams romance with its dim lighting, crystal chandelier and accent walls throughout. There's parking across the street. I look forward to coming back and trying something new. perfect for a date night.

This place was a pleasant surprise. I was in charge of picking the brunch spot. Well, my friends are picky eaters and they eat meat and I'm back to being Flexitarian (mostly vegetarian with occasional seafood here and there). Good Ole YELP came through. This place had low reviews here but the menu was just what we needed. Our waiter, Bailey was great. He checked on us and engaged in our shenanigans here and there while keeping it professional. There is both an upstairs and downstairs area. The way my life is setup, I have a strong dislike for stairs so I wasn't able to get a view of upstairs area. The set up downstairs is bar on one side, high tables in the middle and low tables on the other side. The tables are close when sitting as you will be able to stretch out and touch your neighbor, stranger or not. The noise level was fine. Cheers to free parking on Sundays! We only had appetizers and sides and we got full really quickly. Espresso Martini was my favorite. I got so excited to have it that I forgot to capture the look. We all said we would be returning to try the entrees. The Spinach, Jalapeño, and Artichoke Dip was a favorite, Buffalo Shrimp was the least favorite.

Came here for brunch on NYE!We started off with the Buffalo fried shrimp which provided a great kickstart to the meal. We also got the chicken & waffles which were a solid 8.5/10; chicken was well seasoned, crispy, and fresh out the pan & waffles were warm and fluffy. Lastly we got the short rib hash, which was also well-seasoned & tender in a rich salsa base. All of this was paired with some delicious coffee. The vibes here are always on point - hostess at the door was personable & nice, waiter was funny, they even have a DJ on special occasions.Can't wait to come back for another meal!

I placed a pick up order, so this review is solely based on the food.I ordered the cheesesteak eggrolls and the s'mores cake. Living pretty close to Philly I eat a lot of cheesesteaks and cheesesteak eggrolls. The idea to put bell peppers in any variation of cheesesteak is kind of weird to me. The peppers were overwhelming and the meat was a little dry. I would've preferred cherry peppers. The eggrolls were perfectly crispy though.The cake was also just OK. I loved the toasted marshmallows, but it could've used more chocolate. The graham crackers seemed like an afterthought. They didn't add much for taste, but they provided some texture.The creativity is there, but the execution was just average.

Love the ambience and food was out of the world. Great taste. Dessert was heaven. Shrimp buffalo was yum. Chicken grilled entree was yummy too. Highly recommend.

It's been years since I've eaten at Hearsay Market Square. My friend and I were on the hunt for dinner and realized we were close to Hearsay. One thing I remembered from previous visits was that the tables fill up fast. I wasn't sure what to expect on a Sunday, but we arrived around 5:30 pm and they only had bar seats available. Not long after we sat down, the bar seats were full. Make a reservation or get there early.Frances was our bartender/server and she was really sweet. She made us a gin cocktail that she created and is not on the menu. She doesn't have a name for it, but she was adamant that we would like it and she was right! I really enjoyed it! It had a citrus profile. For my second drink, I had the El Pepino. I subbed vodka in place of the tequila and it was quite good. As I browsed the menu, I realized that they no longer have the beer battered asparagus on the menu. That appetizer was so yummy, but I appreciate the fact that they update the menu. I spotted deviled eggs and immediately ordered them. Unfortunately, these fell a little flat for me. They weren't bad, but they didn't wow me. For my entrée, I ordered the beef short rib. It came with cheddar grits and bacon Brussels sprouts. This dish was fantastic! The beef was tender, and the sides were so flavorful! I loved it. The portion was a great size and I ate all of my food. Needless to say, I left full and satisfied.

Highly recommended Location - steps away from nearby hotels and a short walk from the Theatre district Ambiance - handsome old brownstone with tall ceilings in shoebox proportions, hip but not trendy vibe, not stuffy or wanna be chic; not many tables or banquets, so make a reservation at busy times; not too loud either (a rarity in Houston)Service - friendly, unpretentious; a good mix of attentive but not bothersome without mandatory recitations of specials or other schtick; decent solo seating at the barFood - excellent; cocktails are solid, not overpriced; deviled eggs were divine - a perfect starter for 2; braised rib was delicious and very tender with great sides on the plate; chicken milanese looked immense
