    We went to Weights + Measures for lunch and I am so happy we did. The service was excellent. The food was delicious. The music was fun. Our group enjoyed everything. The Mexican mocha was smooth and mild. Food wise - we ordered the roasted corn and zucchini fritters, gnocchi, carrot pizza, duck salad, fish and chips, salmon, braised short rib, and Chicken BLT. Everything was excellent. The Salted Chocolate Cremeaux was a great finish to a birthday lunch. Our server was awesome and so were the other servers who walked by. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and looked like they were happy to be there. Love that. We grabbed some pastries to go, too. Thanks for a memorable experience.

    Ordered the Thanksgiving meal and family was completely disappointed with (as I believe) one of the most important sides….the stuffing/ dressing ? Our pick up was for 3 pm & it seems that they must have ran out of this side or … just not sure? This was also suppose to feed 2-4, we don’t typically over eat, but this was Thanksgiving! It was a few big pieces of bread croutons, herbs on top and a pat of butter. Thank goodness we decided to pick up another side of dressing from Whole Foods, so I managed to combine & doctor it up! 3 stars because the Turkey breast was delicious.

    Very nice vibe. I had the banana's foster latte and my wife had the s'mores latte. Great options to try something new. I'd recommend getting them made less sweet. Our waitress was excellent, food came out quick and was very good. We'll be back. There is a bakery out front too if you don't want to sit down.

    Delicious food and friendly service! I wouldn’t call it a brunch spot, but their French toast and fried chicken dish is so tasty. The chicken is tender and moist and the syrup just adds the right amount of sweetness. The roasted carrot pizza is also killer, with an intriguing mix of flavors. The peppers on the pizza have a kick though, so keep that in mind if you’re sensitive to spice/heat.

    We went for brunch and everything was delightful! There’s a really cute bakery when you first enter. The decor is modern and fun! The entire restaurant is simply beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We had a party of seven; 4 adults, 3 children. We had a litany of items off the menu that were all amazing. The pizza was delicious. The oysters were fresh and so good. All of the children’s menu items were readily eaten! We had several of their signature cocktails and none disappointed! We will definitely be coming back here.

    This was our second time dining in and loved it just as much as the first time! The ambiance was great, our waiter/waitresses were so nice. Our food was amazing! I ordered the steak and eggs which were cooked perfectly as ordered and the salsa had just enough spice! Mimosas were very well made, a little pricey for the amount IMO but I still ordered two more, they were good! Will be returning with more friends!

    This is one of my favorite brunch places. Seth makes amazing drinks with all fresh squeezed juices. They also do an amazing job with all their baked goods. Besides the one hostess that is rude 😒 this place is awesome.

    I’ve had several wonderful dining experiences at Weights + Measures lately. I’ve attended a beautiful special event, multiple lunch meetings, and happy hours at the bar. Today, I took a break from my desk and did some work over lunch. The bolognese is excellent and I love the carrot hummus. Everything I’ve ordered has been really delicious. They have great portion sizes and very good drink options. The staff is excellent. I’ve always had great, thoughtful service. I bring all my high end clients, Board members, and colleagues here. Definitely recommend!!

    Service was great and the restaurant itself is very stylish. Parking was also easy for what seems to be a pretty busy place. Reservations were easy to make online as well so that was great. The blood orange mimosa was great as well as their version of cheese sticks. But overall the food was pretty bland to me. The bacon was perfect but nothing really knocked my socks off. I would definitely come back and try some different plates of food just to give them another chance.

    A friendly place for meals. Not just a brunch place, Weights & Measures has a diverse menu offering - from bakery to pizzas / burgers to fish and meat plates. Spacious with lots of tables; Parking was relatively easy too. Friendly service. Good food. Will come back.

    Modern, aesthetic restaurant in Houston midtown. Went for lunch, our waitress was great and the food looked amazing. Plenty of mimosa flavors. Right next to a small bakery that you have to walk through to enter the restaurant. They have parking allocated just for this business. A bit overpriced and limited vegetarian options.

    The interior is very nice and they have a lot of staff. Staff were very polite and friendly. The food was on the slightly pricey side and the portions are small but reasonable. I would give this place a 5 star if the portions were bigger or the price was a little lower.

    Very cute restaurant! I would definitely go back and try other things on the menu. I’m not a blue cheese fan and I surprisingly really liked the chips. Great shareable snack! The brioche French toast and fried chicken was okay. Great portion though, liked how they had different parts of the chicken for you. The brioche had great flavor but was a little dry. The chicken was fried nicely but didn’t have that much flavor, not sure if it lacked on the seasoned flour or if the chicken needed to be brined. The duck salad we ended up eating before remembering a picture. The duck was seasoned and cooked perfectly! The salad could’ve been better. If you don’t like tangy vinegary salads, you won’t like this one. The greens in it seemed old, because the salad sort of soggy. The gnocchi dish was delicious. Who doesn’t love gnocchi with pancetta, butternut squash and brown butter sage?! I’d definitely eat that again! My cinnamon dolce latte was nothing special. The service was great! Our server was very sweet and the they were very on top of clearing dishes. The hostess was.. pleasant, she didn’t smile and she definitely looked like she didn’t want to be there, but was still pleasant with greeting us and giving her farewells. Parking is easy, there’s a small lot with free parking. Very easily accessible.

    Came to enjoy the last few days of HRW. First time here. Had Francisco as our server who today was his first day back at Weights + Measures after a little bit away. I am a vegetarian, as was my dinner date, so we were limited to options but were grateful for options. The soup was good and the parmesan crisp was the perfect touch of saltiness that it needed for me. The charred radicchio wasn't bad but probably wasn't too my taste. I tried one piece of gnocchi from my friend's plate and it was yummy and warm as everything was straight from the kitchen piping hot. The orecchiette was the staple I needed to fill me up. I love the smell of the melting cheese though maybe part of me wanted a little bit more. The key lime torte wasn't bad but it definitely, like the previous course let me wanting more. I enjoyed my meal and definitely could see myself coming back again in the future. It was great that it had its own parking lot. Granted we were there early so parking was easy but again, a parking lot is always better than searching for street parking.

    Food was good service was good overall all I’d give it 4 stars. The menu was limited but items on the menu were good. The environment was nice clean. If you can please make arrangements ahead of time. Items on the menu were priced a bit high but for the quality and experience it’s worth it. Overall try it out. Check out my photos

    We went to this place on a Sunday for a brunch. We had to wait for about 20min for someone to come and talk to us. It looked like their was staffing shortage. Once we got a table, out experience was a little better. The food was ok nothing stand out. I was disappointed with the pancake, I ordered the chocolate chip one and it tasted like the one you buy at the grocery store. For the amount of money you spend, we expected more flavor and taste.

    We sat at the bar to have brunch because there is no available outside seating. Very friendly bartender, good menu options, and the food was standard. I would say it fell a little short, actually. I ordered French toast and fries chicken - I thought the chicken was over fried and not that much meat on the bones, but it was OK. There were a lot of people in there, which is an indicator that it’s well liked at least.

    So this is my second time going and this time was for dinner and apparently per one of the servers I overheard saying they are under new management and I will start to say that for a Friday night around seven. This place should’ve been packed for the area but that’s just my opinion when I went there for brunch, on a Saturday morning, it was packed. I walk in around 730 and there’s probably 5 tables total bars was empty and the hostess desk is also empty. I stood there for probably a good minute, minute and a half. Finally someone walks over asked if I had a reservation I said no she said I can sit at the bar I said that’s completely fine, I sit at the bar Juan served me and my opinion on his service was just OK even though it wasn’t that many people in there I felt that the staff was a little bit too laxed, but that’s just my opinion even tho it wasn’t crowded. It took a minute for my appetizer to come out. Once I received it it was mediocre. The cheese wasn’t even melted in the middle, however the cilantro sauce that comes with it was delicious. I was very hesitant on returning it but I was also hungry so I just sucked it up and ate it but it definitely was not worth $15. I asked the bartender to make me and mocktail i felt that if I wouldn’t have told him what I like he probably would’ve did something different that was probably better than what he made me. I told him I like refreshing Ginger beer and that’s exactly what he gave me so I paid $10 for a ginger beer with lime. I was stuck between deciding on should I get the cheeseburger with fries or the wild mushroom risotto I got two opinions and they both suggested the wild mushroom risotto. once I received it I was not impressed. It was very. mediocre. It did not come with a protein. I added shrimp. I ended up walking out of there with a bill. Total of $72 and I am all for paying for good food and a good time but honestly this was not worth the money I literally only ate the food because I was starving. Other than that I would not go back to weight and measures, however I would go back for the love croissants. Apparently they had a in-house bakery that sold bread in the front. The new owners did not want to continue that and rented the space to love croissants.

    I really enjoyed this place! I’m giving it 4 out if 5 stars though because I was told that a table for 2 would be about a 20 minute wait. Totally fine. It was about an hour before we were sat. We were in no rush and asked for waters while we waited so it fine but I thought that was kind of ridiculous. The food made up for it, though. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. The highlight for me were the pastries on the way out. Picked up several for later and they were so good. I’d recommend this place if you’re not in a rush.

    Food was good. I needed salt but you may not. Service could definitely improve. We got the chips w/ blue cheese, meatballs, corn and zucchini fritters and the cheeseburger.

    The food I wonderful. Jennifer our waitress was so wonderful get with information on the dishes. The Rosated carrot pizza is great. The Carmel ice cream omg. The short Rib sandwich was ok. The chips was great. We will definitely be back.

  • 4/5 Gabriel V. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good! Came with a friend for brunch. She had the pancakes, and I the chilaquiles. Both were very good! Not a huge fan of super dark roast coffee, but that's more a personal preference. All that said, it's also kinds ludicrously expensive.😅 The chilaquiles did have VERY good short ribs, but not anywhere near $20 good. Nor were her pancakes really $15 good. But! Id say give it a shot and see for yourself!

    We have been to Weights & Measures a few times and enjoy the food & ambience. This year I was able to do a last minute booking a day before Mother’s Day, and we had an excellent experience - good food, great service and very friendly & super efficient server! My wife ordered an avocado toast, I ordered chorizo & eggs tacos and our daughter ordered doughknots with vanilla ice cream. I had one of the best cappuccinos here. The mango mimosa was a bit of a let down but the orange one was better! We will definitely go back sometime soon!

    When we arrived, we noticed some crumbs on the table and floor, which made it seem like the table hadn't been properly cleaned before we were seated. We ordered the pork belly benedict, the pork was suppose to be slow cooked but it was very dry. This was a bit disappointing. The yucatan tostada and pupusas were meh. We also got the french toast and fried chicken which were decent. The three way brussel sprouts and carrots on carrots were good. To our surprise, we were charged a $25 cake cutting fee, even though our cake was not cut, and it ended up getting damaged during the reveal. That was a letdown. The food overall was decent, but nothing really stood out to make the experience memorable. It felt like a standard Sunday brunch. Maybe we should’ve ordered some pastries or pizza. It was a cute place though with plenty of parking. Considering these factors, I'm not sure if I would choose to return in the future.

    Food was delicious but I wouldn’t pay $15 for a ONE tequeño again. My favorite item was the dough-knot (dessert). Make sure to eat them while they are hot. The pasión fruit mimosa was amazing. Service was good and quick. I will be back to try more items.

    This place has some of the best cocktails I've had. Went for Sunday brunch and loved it. I had the Sunrise breakfast plate and the Bloody Red Eye... and the service here is amazing. Great people, great restaurant.
