Masraff's

Great service and good foodBeautiful place for a nice dinner.Would recommend and will come back

My husband and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary at a fine dining restaurant. According to the reviews this place sounded like the perfect place. The parking was great, with lots of places to park. We came in and were seated right next to a wall and the waiter station. The place was lit for intimate settings which was romantic. We ordered the following dinner...Apps: Calamari and Louisiana rollSalad: Heirloom tomato and GumboEntree: Diver Scallops and 16oz Ribeye (medium)Drinks: Cabernet, Spring Branch Blossom & SandiaThe Apps were the best out of all the meal and it just went downhill from there. The Heirloom tomato salad was so sweet I could only finish 1/4 of it. It had too much balsamic vinegar and everything was sweet, there need to be something add to break that up. The Gumbo was an off menu and it only had chicken with huge pieces of peppers and the roux didn't have much depth. Also, was mostly rice.My scallops were off the menu and were peppered on the outside served with mushrooms and saffron couscous. The saffron was SO overpowering that all I had was one bite, the mushrooms were scorched so the were uneditable, and the pepper on the outside of the scallops were burnt as well. I had to scrape off the outside of them in order to eat them, which were cooked nicely. My husband ordered a medium ribeye served with a side of lobster grits and the peppercorn green sauce. The ribeye was cooked medium rare, which is disappointing since it is $56. But he said the grits and sauce was good. When it came time for dessert, we were so full and I was disappointed with just about everything, that we declined it. Well, apparently the waiter was not too happy and said I thought y'all were celebrating and walked away annoyed. I guess a $350 meal was not enough money for him. He also seemed annoyed that we didn't order a bottle of wine but instead did single serve. Since we were seated by the waiter station my husband was bummed minimum 7 times in the back. Overall for the price we expected top notch food, like Gordon Ramsay expectations. It was so disappointing and not worth the money. Also, noticed that all the waiters were male and only the hostesses were female. Not sure if it was just the night we went but found it interesting.

One of the most magnificent evenings I've spent in a long time. The food was excellent. Service was impeccable. The ambience was like you were eating and someone's lovely dining room.

Awesome! We went for our anniversary and birthday celebration! Service and food was great! I love how quiet this place was too, it made the meal more enjoyable!

By far the best restaurant I've been to in awhile. Everything on the menu was delicious. I will be back forsure and tell others. Atmosphere is upscale and the waiter Aaron was great and knowledgeable. The owner even greeted us at the table. Service was amazing. My husband had lamb I had seabass. Now the best appetizer was the garlic seared calamari. This place should get 10 across the board.

A traditional upscale restaurant that I feel is a dying breed as we continue to get overpriced trendy hip places with limited real service charging people in t-shirts and jeans $50 a meal. Services was outstanding and place has a good classy vibe. The Chilean Seabass was probably one of the best seabasses I've had, the braised short rib was SUPER tender. Ordered: Braised Wagyu Butcher's Cut Meatball, Chilean Sea Bass, Braised Short RibWould I Recommend to Try? YesWould I Return? Solid, but wouldn't make the cut as a regular upscale visitAmbiance- 9/10Food Taste- 8/10Service- 10/10Value- 7/10Date Worthy- 9/10

We chose the elegant Masraff's to have my low key birthday celebration. Just off the feeder of I10 in Memorial, if you're not looking, you may miss it. Our reservation was for 5:30p, just as the beautiful open dining room started to fill up. We settled in, deciding it was whiskey kinda night, although they had a wonderful selection of wines. Claudio and his team took excellent care of us. We started with the chilled Stone Crab Claws, served with a mustard aioli. Plump and slightly sweet. Soup of the day was a savory shrimp/sausage gumbo with white rice. MrM had the Chilean Seabass, served over lobster grits with zucchini, topped with a light sauce. I had the special, Three Tail Fish, served over fingerlings and green beans, topped with a cream sauce. Both seemed pan seared to perfection, crispy outside while light, flaky inside. Delicious!For dessert, we had the Down Home Blueberry Buckle. Light airy cinnamon strudel cake, blueberry drizzle, with these amazing lil pearls of lemon curd, topped with a mild coffee gelato with a thin pastry crisp. And you can't have dessert without a cappuccino! Thank you for making my birthday special without even knowing it!

I always make sure to reserve here for Houston Restaurant Weeks but all of their food no matter what time of the year is always great. The ambience and service are wonderful and I always feel welcome and unrushed. I always get the foie gras appetizer and the garlic seared calamari. The parmesan crusted rosemary bread they bring to the table is amazing as well.Parking is available as valet, in the garage, or right in front of the restaurant.If you're searching for a nice dinner, come here!

This was my first time coming to Masraff's at its new location, several years later again for HRW! The menu options all looked great so I was really looking forward to this. Appetizers: Garlic seared calamari- not your average calamari, and I really loved this flavour combo and the mushrooms with it. Fried Quail- also delicious. The sauce on it brought a balancing sweetness and together with the polenta was just such a homey dish!Entree's:Braised short rib- never have I had a more tender short rib. So much flavour oozing from it. And who doesn't love a good mash. Rack of lamb- lamb itself was fine- at this point I think I was just filling up so there was no wow factor. The truffle potato gratin really came through with the truffle flavour which is a win. Desserts: the apple cobbler was the best, but be warned you will be very full by the time you get to this part....Honorable mention- that cheesy rosemary doc is was SO delicious. I don't know how I managed to cut myself off...Parking was easy- pull up to the garage in the back, plenty of spots on a late Friday night. I l enjoyed the open layout of the restaurant and service was great- not too overbearing but helpful.

What a lovely setting! A group of us went in for a nice evening and we were not disappointed!! The staff was delightful, the food was not only beautiful but also delicious!!! We had a Fantastic evening!!! i would highly recommend visiting them for a meal! Between the group we had an eclectic collection of diverse foods and everything was delicious!! service was spot on, the food was all served properly and piping hot.
