    It was my birthday and I wanted to treat myself to a nice lunch. I went to 5115 at Saks 5th. The ambiance was gorgeous. The food was incredibly delicious. I had the shrimp risotto, salad and brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts with bacon is the best I ever had. I loved every bite of food. The server was excellent. The piano player came over and asked if I wanted a request. He played and song "Here and Now" at my request. My server gave me a complimentary chocolate cake and ice cream for my birthday. He told me about the popular weekend brunch and suggested I make reservations. I will be back to savor in the brunch. Excellent experience on my birthday.

    For was delicious, and service was excellent. Only gripe is the small tables. Great drinks too. One of the best mules I've had. Also try the pear martini.

    Dress code is enforced, (no flip flops) so, dress up and enjoy a lovely meal, cocktails, beer or wine in an elegant, cozy atmosphere. Valet (12.00) is the easiest way to park in the galleria. Our server was professional, pleasant, accommodating and knowledgeable of the menu. It’s a perfect location for business lunch/meeting as it’s not loud. Will definitely be back!

    5115 is a beautiful and amazing place. Must check it out. Food is always delicious, service is on point. Setup is classy, cozy and beautiful ambience. Location is easy to find and plenty of parking. Price vs value is great. Every 1st Thursday of the month, there is a live band. Live band with nice music and lots of dancing. Don't forget also NYE is a great place to be celebrating.

    The ambiance and decor is absolutely stunning. Velvet chairs and a pianist.....This is definitely a chic and sultry place. You can dress comfortably or get your girls together for a light bite and cocktails. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is just everything. Now the four stars is for the actual experience. The food is typical bites. It's nothing out of the ordinary but good. The drinks are very good. For a party of 4 our tab was $307.00 It's definitely worth a visit if you're ever in SAKS Fifth Avenue on Westheimer. Shop and stop in for a quick bite and beverage.

    First time visiting and the whole experience was beautiful. The food, the service, the atmosphere was everything you would expect from a fine dining establishment. I had the Houston restaurant week brunch menu options of 3 courses for $25. I highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to go back.

    Too pricey for the quality and flavor of food. This restaurant is set on the second floor of Saks and is accessible by an elevator. The decor is very elegant and clean, but the music playing was a mixture of different music - including 90s Brittany Spears. There are decent sized food and drink menus, but nearly everything food-wise is subpar minus the beef empanadas. The wine, however, was delicious. The staff is very friendly and helpful, which is always appreciated. Overall, this is not a place I would choose to return to.

    I've been to 51fifteen twice now, once for restaurant week and this most recent time was sponsored by an organization I'm apart of. Valet parking is available for $10, which I usually do since it's convenient and to avoid the hassle of finding parking in the mall garage. The service at this restaurant is has been great the two times I've been. On my most recent experience, we were met with red and white wine options on arrival which was a cute touch. For our starter we had a sample of the crab cake and a lamb chop (cooked medium). I really liked the flavor of the crab cake, savory for sure. The lamb chop was just okay, although it's topped with a spread of onions and green onions (maybe chimichuri sauce, our menu didn't specify) it still seemed to lack flavor. Next I ordered the caesar salad which I really enjoyed the freshness and fresh parmasean. For my meal I ordered the 8 oz fillet (medium) which was topped with herb butter and came with asparagus and a side of mash potatoes. Very decent. The filet was cooked well and butter added a nice touch of seasoning that wasn't too overpowering. For desert I ordered the Godiva chocolate cake which looks so pretty on presentation, though the cake itself tasted dry in my opinion. Again, I do think the service here is always up to par, however when I've dined here the food just hasn't been much to rave about. I also included deserts from restaurants week in the pictures (bread pudding and sorbet).

    Now talk about ambiance. This place has a upper class white linen vibe and the prices to match. I am not often in the Galleria, but if I am back and hungry then this location is a great option. Abraham makes a great lemon drop. I am a hard critic. It was so delicious that I had a second one. The happy hour menu and bar selection is extremely limited. So I went for the full menu. Lamp chops (4) and a side of sautéed mushrooms. The flavor of the chops were divine. My only regret were that it was too small. The mushrooms were okay. Portion size is where I deduct one star. But everything else is a winner. Even the bathroom was clean and beautiful 😍.

    Absolutely smitten with 51fifteen - such a gem of a spot! The decor and ambience are next level - so chic, so inviting. Plus, they even had live music the night I visited! Pro tip: do yourself a favor and swing by during their happy hour. Amazing deals on their top-notch food and drinks. Seriously, it's a must-visit. Can't recommend it enough!

    If you find yourself shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue in Houston's Galleria area, I've got a dining recommendation that just might elevate your retail experience. Tucked inside the luxury store, 51fifteen Cuisine & Cocktail offers more than just a place to rest your shopping-weary feet. The staff ensures you feel more like an esteemed guest than just a patron, setting the tone for an enjoyable dining experience. Make sure to dress the part; this isn't your typical mall eatery. Think upscale, not ultra-casual, so swap those flip flops for something a tad more refined. Now, I must give a shoutout to their live pianist. As a Mozart lover, my heart sang when they kindly played some of my favorite compositions. Paired with the expansive windows offering unparalleled views of the bustling Galleria area, the ambiance is nothing short of mesmerizing. On to the drinks! The mojito, a personal order of mine, was a nostalgic nod to my trips to Miami, particularly Calle 8. It's refreshing and just what you'd expect from a top-notch cocktail bar. Another standout was the smoky pineapple, which offered a delightful kick to start off the meal. The food, however, was a bit of a mixed bag. Their diverse menu promises something for everyone, but our picks for the day were slightly underwhelming. The shrimp risotto lacked that depth of flavor one anticipates from such a dish. Additionally, the chicken in the kale and brussel sprout salad, while promising, was unfortunately on the drier side. That said, with such a vast menu, I'm optimistic about giving their food another shot. Perhaps a dinner visit is in the cards, where a different dish might just win me over. But in terms of cocktails? They've already earned a gold star in my book. So, if you're in the Galleria vicinity, whether on a shopping spree or simply exploring, don't miss out. And a special note to the husbands out there looking for a respite: drop by, order a handcrafted cocktail, and enjoy a moment of relaxation. Cheers!

    Really great food. Well seasoned and cooked very well. Everything was excellent, but I'm giving only 4 stars for the food because the desserts were only good, but not great. Service was excellent and the restaurant was really quiet.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey B. 8 months ago on Google
    We always enjoy this restaurant. Feels like it should be in Las Vegas. Always upbeat music and ambiance. Manager and waitstaff always seem to be having a great day, and really deliver top notch service. Food has always been to our liking, and we now have tried many of their offerings. We are looking forward to dining with them again very soon.

    This is an upscale restaurant with a wonderful selection of meals and drinks. My company and I attended for brunch during restaurant week and the service was wonderful! Our server was very attentive and anticipated our needs. The waiting time for the food to arrive was about 15 minutes.There is an enforced dress code which is smart casual for lunch/brunch and professional/business attire for dinner. The food featured is Chicken and Belgium waffles, New York strip steak and eggs, Nutella, strawberry and banana crepe, and White chocolate bread pudding. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Amazing time with my girl Jo last night. 51fifteen delivered on everything! The ambiance, food and hospitality were all wonderful. A date night must or even just for girls night out! Try them out. You won't be disappointed.

    Everything was good! From the food to the service. Love the restaurant ambiance! Had a great lunch with friends. Will be back to try other dishes.

    I have been here for lunch/early dinner three times this week alone. It’s obvious I love this establishment. I met Carlos (Big C) the creative director here yesterday as well as Big H, a Houston King, and it was such a pleasure. To meet the eyes behind my safe haven at Galleria. Jillian and Wilson always take the utmost care of myself and my friends. Michaelangelo will serenade you into a brand new world if you let him, on the piano during lunch 🎹 Keep 51Fifteen alive. I love it here. Grade: A++++
