Relish Restaurant & Bar

Went here with the wifey for an early birthday dinner, and boy was I excited to try this place. We came there early enough on a Monday night, ie 6:30 pm, to be able to find our own parking spot and not have to pay for valet parking. It's not a very big parking lot. So I saw on a tv show a drink that had vodka and grapefruit juice and really wanted to try one. I was very happy to find the drink "salty dog" on the menu that had these ingredients. It was very nice. It was refreshing and I felt like I was helping the environment drinking something that had a tree growing in the middle of it. I was told by a friend of mine that I had to try the lobster roll here. I'm a big fan of them since I grew up in New England and had them all the time growing up as a kid. Since I've started watching my weight I decided to go with the Brussels sprouts as my side instead of fries. Let's get to the star of the show. I kid you not, that lobster roll (or as we call it in New England "lobstah roll") was one of the best I have ever had in my life! If you enjoy a good lobster roll you have to try one from here, you won't regret it. Oh, the Brussels sprouts were pretty good too. Getting dessert here is lots of fun! I got a slice of carrot cake and paired it quite nicely with a caramel latte. It was the perfect ending to a great meal. Yes, that's right, they have their own expresso machine! Thank you Mr. Relish! We will be back, please don't ever lose your delicious lobster roll recipe!

Credit given when it is due. Crystal responded to my email regarding food allergies within a day and made sure to give important details regarding the food prep.I've always loved the food at Relish - this amazing customer service deserves a phenomenal review. Thank you.

The service was attentive, atmosphere was lovely and the food was unmatched. The hot crab dip were incredible as well as the lamb meatballs. I'd recommend for an intimate dinner or business dinner!

Food was phenomenal. Only thing that was a slight let down was the service. Butternut squash soup was something to dream about and panini was filling and crisp to perfection. We had a 5 top that was hidden during the lunch rush. Understandably, there was a delay to our server getting around to us etc. Overall, a great experience and will be back for sure.

Wow, I was so happy this restaurant is near an appointment I had. I've had it bookmarked for a few months and finally had the opportunity to try it, and wish I didn't wait so long. At a high level, breezy and lighthearted interior, every dish we had was delicious- plenty of healthy options but if you want something heartier they had plenty of options too.I got the Grilled artichoke as a starter since it reminded us of one we had in napa valley years ago, and it lived up to the description. It was absolutely phenomenal, loved the charred lemon heartiness of it!We also got the bruschetta, which was a ricotta, zucchini and eggplant with some sort of tomato sauce and pine nuts. The blend on top of that decadent bread was something I could eat straight with a spoon. Apparently the bruschetta changes (daily? Seasonally?) either way - I'd advise you ask what is on it if you come because it was probably my favorite part of the meal.Lastly my wife and I shared an apple salad with grilled chicken - they had plenty of protein options but we wanted to add something to make the meal a bit more filling. The salad was absolutely fantastic, lots of acidity and sweetness that was captivating and refreshing!After that delicious meal we tried their carrot cake which was so moist, rich and delicious. We could only get through about half of that slice but brought it home and it was just as good the next day. I couldn't tell if it was caramel or honey drizzled on top (or maybe a mix?) but that drizzle spoke to my soul :)Everything we had here was fantastic, the waitress gave plenty of recommendations, it was lively on a weekday lunch with plenty of other patrons, and I am definitely keeping this place on my bookmarks of favorite places!

Amazing service and attention to detail. The Ciopinno was the best I've ever had. Melted in my mouth. I WILL be back for it again.

Great service, and ambiance. The Summer Tagliatelle transported me to the Amalfi Coast with each bite. The pesto is so fresh and the pasta is perfect. This dish is a must! The chocolate brownie was served warm & chewy with ice cream.

We always seem to find the best little gems while on our way to somewhere else, and see a place that's too inviting to pass up... this happened again with Relish! We got there at a perfect time, at happy hour right before dinner started. We had the deviled eggs and I usually am not a fan of fried chicken but these were awesome! Surprisingly light with tons of flavour. Two of us shared the mussel dish and shrimp linguini. Loved them both! The shrimp linguini was also very light and I was pleased at the portion size. So many pasta dishes are simply too much and I rarely order them because of it. This was perfect. The drinks were fabulous; refreshing and vibrant on a warm rainy day. Our waitress Jasmine was a doll and took great care of us, though others that dropped food off were very attentive too. All in all, another happy time spent at a surprise new gem! We'll be back.

I made a reservation online for 3 outside patio; and when I got to the restaurant, they told me that they couldn't reserve spaces on the patio. The hostess was extremely rude and it was very upsetting since we had planned this lunch spot and reserved a space online. After five minutes of having a disagreement, they happen to find a table in the corner on the side patio, which was the only table available. It's not the main patio... I would have given the restaurant a five star if I had a more pleasant experience with the hostess and seating that I had reserved online and drove over 30 minutes to be at this restaurant with my girlfriends. OK, so about the food. The tomato soup was really good but the soup stains your face. If you are doing a business meeting or on a date, I definitely would not order soup because it will stain your face and lips. The watermelon salad I was so excited about, but they barely had any feta in it Or watermelon; it was like you were just eating arugula.The burger was decent. And the fries were good.

Upscale ambiance, incredible food, and reasonable prices (especially for the area) - the perfect spot for a nice night out!I came by with a friend one evening, and we were seated pretty quickly per our reservation. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive and made sure our glasses were always filled with water! He also answered our questions and helped us choose our meals based on our preferences.I want to start by sharing my surprise at how quickly the food came out! As I hadn't tried seafood in Houston before, I decided to get the Linguine and Shrimp. Each bite had an explosion of flavor - buttery, hints of lemon, various spices, plus the addition of tomato. I couldn't believe how much I could taste despite not being a spicy dish! The portion size turned out to be much more than I expected as well, and I ended up having enough for another meal left over!I had a fantastic time visiting and would love to be back!!
