    This Houston gem is so good and so worthy of all these five-star reviews! From the speedy valet and friendly hostess to excellent service all through brunch, this was a top-notch experience. Without question, the best crab cakes we've ever had and totally without the occasional crunch of a missed bit of shell that plagues a lot of crab dishes. Delicious hummus and redfish, and cornmeal pancakes that reminded me (favorably) of skillet corncakes my grandmother used to make. Carey's service was just right: attentive and warm without being intrusive. Also, we listened as he patiently and kindly walked a very high-maintenance table behind us through a truly ridiculous number of questions about dessert...with the tray of desserts sitting right there. (How many items are on the sampler dessert platter? How big are the samples? Is the sampler the same price as a single regular portion? Calories per sample? Could this or that be changed? Etc. Just order the d*mn dessert already!) After almost 20 minutes of debate, they did not order dessert and asked for separate checks. Carey was so gracious and smiling all the way. Bravo! If you're looking for amazing Southern dishes with coastal flair, this is your place. Creative cocktails and refreshing mocktails too.

    We visited this restaurant during our 3rd anniversary, and just loved the food and the ambience. I tried the wild Boar entree and it was delicious. The place is suitable if you're looking for a nice quiet dinner.

    I was treated to lunch on a weekday at this wonderful restaurant. It wasn't too crowded and the waiter was attentive but unobtrusive. I had a delicious mojito, mini muffins, broccoli soup, a crab cake, and scallops. The three small complimentary muffins were very good, the broccoli soup had a good flavor but was a little on the thin side, the crab cake was good but otherwise unremarkable and the scallops were excellent. The scallops were served with mashed sweet potatoes and crisp green beans, both of which were very good. I was too full for dessert. My companion had tacos which he said were very good. Our table was near the door to the patio and every time the door opened I got chilled. I don't know why they would seat us near the door when the restaurant was not very busy, plus we had reservations. The tables had crisp white linens but the hard wood chairs did not encourage lingering. This restaurant was about an hour from my house and while it was a mostly enjoyable experience, I don't think I will fight the traffic to visit again.

    Such a delightful place to celebrate life and birthday with my mom. We enjoyed Crab Cakes, Chicken Parmigiana and Short Ribs Tacos. Tristan was more than polite carrying on conversation as if we were family. The decor in every room breathtaking! Even the valet attendants insisted a picture in remembrance of our unforgettable experience at Ousies. Forever grateful.💗

    Went for a bachelorette dinner with 22 girls. The seating wasn’t ideal as we didn’t have enough arm room to eat. We had to ask several times to add another table. Aside from that, the food was actually really good, I enjoyed my steak and my friend said the Salmon was also good.

    Went with a group of 10 ladies and we booked the private room in the wine cellar. It was beautiful. Our attendant was Sam and the service was excellent!!! And the food was great. Upscale spot located off the beaten path of the hustle and bustle in Houston. LOVED it!!!

    Went with the family on a Sunday. Parking was easy to find, place wasn’t too busy and was very clean. Staff was extremely polite and professional. The brunch menu offered your standard choices with a few unique dishes to try. Our table was mixed on the food. Half felt the food was good but could have more flavor and half felt the food was absolutely great. Prices were fair for the serving sizes and great atmosphere, definitely recommend trying it out if you’re looking for a new brunch spot to try out.

    Food was amazing. It took a little longer to to get our food but it was delicious. We had a party of 12 which we made a reservation for. JuanCarlos on the other hand did not ask if we wanted our check split and made it our fault why he did not split the check. When we asked he stated we should have told him before he put the order in. Actually as the server he should have asked us and not made the assumption. Again great experience but Carlos needs to understand how serving of large parties works.

    Nice place to have a good meal. Very cozy vibes and the waitstaff is amazing! Warm, knowledge and courteous. The service is pretty fast and the food quantity is big enough to share. The only issue we had was there was only 2 vegetarian choices! Not that big of a deal but we did expect to see more vegetarian choices in entrees. We ordered the vegetarian paella and eggplant parmesan. The flavor was really good for the both dishes. We would like to come back to check out their lunch and brunch menu!

    My food was very good. The place was beautiful inside. I love their clean up process. The servers were great. Soft bread. The prices are to treat yourself and your date but not going broke doing it. All while eating very well. I liked the meatball app. The greens were bussin. And I honestly want... No NEED to go back so that I can try their lamb chops. To support me if you appreciate my review please like ND follow me ... lol I leave reviews when I can.

    Just plain old, good, southern, comfort food. Incredible fried oysters followed, by a wonderful meatloaf, and a delicious carrot cake. What else could you ask for?

    Beautiful place to enjoy an unforgettable dinner. The trout was spectacular. The very best fried chicken you can feast on between Tucson and Houston. Beautiful setting, gracious staff. Not to be missed.

    Went for a company Holiday Party and the atmosphere was very nice. Very cute restaurant for possibly a date night, but not the best large group experience. The waiter for our table was rude my daughter ordered a specific dish and what came out wasn't what she ordered and thr waiter refused to exchange it out. Drinks were very good, but my prime rib was way under cooked.

    Definitely a restaurant to add to your list. Ambience/atmosphere is nice but tables a little too close (especially because the pandemic is still going on). Service was great and attentive (unfortunately I forgot my server's name). The presentation of food was underwhelming for a $x4 restaurant. Food: portion size for price...great! Entrées are easily shareable. My bacon wrapped beef tenderloin wasn't actually wrapped in bacon. The sauce was very salty. Loved the lobster mashed potatoes though. Hub's chicken fried steak was not well seasoned and it was mostly fried batter. The size of it covered most of the plate but did not live up to being the star of the plate. The desserts certainly made up for the lack in the entree category. Despite these missteps, I would still recommend you try this restaurant. I would go back and give it another try.

    A beautiful place with tasteful decor, and even better food! The three little bread pieces are so delicious and each have different flavors: one cheddar the other cornbread and lastly a spice cake. Definitely recommend you to try this place.

    If I could give Ouisie’s 10 stars - I would. We’re at my birthday dinner right now and their service is amazing. Mr. Edoardo is the best along with his management team, server staff and front of house staff. As someone who work in the hospitality industry from age 14 to 23, now 26 today, I am amazed at their phenomenal guest service. Thank y’all!

    We came here for a group dinner. We had the restaurant week menu which had a little something for each person- vegetarian option, seafood option, and meat option. My app and entree were both a bit salty for me though. I think given the limitations of restaurant week, they did a decent overall job. The service was great.

    Absolutely chefs kiss! Great food! I haven’t had good food at a restaurant like that in a while. Drinks were amazing, service was immaculate! Atmosphere super romantic and intimate!

  • 5/5 Jessica T. 1 year ago on Google
    We just had a party here this past weekend and it did not disappoint! The party was in the Alsey's Nest room. This room sat my party of 22 comfortably and there is a little outdoor area you can mingle or like us take photos. Restaurant was super accommodating seeing how I booked less than 7 days before the party. I was able to bring in my own decor. Food was delicious. Everyone said they enjoyed their meal. The real winner here was the servers, Jessie and Kerri. They were TOP NOTCH!! From the moment we arrived they were beyond helpful and even offered us drinks right away. They helped us setup decor on the table and honestly anything and everything. They were also so polite to me and everyone in my party. My only little complaint is paying for tables. I just feel unless you are doing round table (out of the ordinary) there is no reason we should get charged for tables and linens when they are easily provided in the regular dining area. Now if you want something different than the standard I can see the upcharge. But it also isn't a deal breaker when everything else went right. Will definitely be back!

    Lovely place! We made an 11am reservation the morning of and was seated immediately. Upon first glance, it looks rather insignificant but inside it has really tall ceilings and nice decor. It was pretty empty when it first opened but the changed about 30 minutes after we arrived. Boy did this place fill up for a Thursday afternoon!!! We got mimosas which were standard along with the complimentary breads. They were so good! I could eat a whole basket of that alone. We ordered oysters Rockefeller which were great flavor wise, but could have been cleaned better(crunchy tasting at times) and cooked a while longer so the topping could have better color. It was rather pale looking. Our entrees were fantastic. I got a Parmesan crusted fish and my friend the shrimp and grits. Both were generous portions. My one qualm is the service. Our server was great but those cleaning the table were moving fast. They took our bread before we were finished and reached over our food to either give us more bread or pour water multiple times. Other than that, everything was great. Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting the area.

    One of the finer restaurants in the Houston area. My wife and I went out for dinner during the Holidays and had a best-in-class experience from beginning to end. Our server, Tristan, went out of his way to make our experience as accommodating as possible with our special request orders. I've been to some of the finest restaurants in NYC, Houston, LA, and Chicago, and Ouisie's Table was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. I'll be recommending this place to friends and family on their next trip to Houston.

  • 5/5 Katelyn Van S. 2 years ago on Google
    We hosted an event here and could not have been more impressed. Fran was so helpful in the planning process, they were flexible with us even accommodating requests to rearrange and expand the room immediately before the event began, and the staff that served and hosted us (Davante and Diana) were exceptional. Food and drinks were great and the room was beautiful. We will definitely be back in the future!

  • 5/5 John Paul m. 2 years ago on Google
    Was there last night, had Tristan as our waiter….I love that place. We go there for an annual date night before looking at lights. We don’t live far, but it’s just not something we do a lot….but every time I go there…I love it. No better value in town then what you get from there for the money.

  • 5/5 Nate C. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely lovely experience. Staff were all extraordinarily kind, the food was delicious, and service was top-notch. This place was clean, very well taken care of and maintained. It is a place that I hope to return to again someday. Parking was pretty good with seemingly plenty of space in valet as an option. The building is behind a couple other buildings which minimizes city street noise. I would highly recommend this establishment to anybody.
