Bistro Menil

The food and menu are absolutely incredible. One of the best restaurants in town. The service is fantastic. I love the management team. This is such a great restaurant. Highly recommend fabulous atmosphere, friendly staff!

The location is interesting. We went on a Friday night. We choose it for the GF menu.

The first waiter was dismissive and lacked personality. After a while a new waiter began serving us. She was better.

We started with the French onion soup. It was GF and good.

We next had the GF crab cakes. They were excellent. Great sauce and sides.

I ordered the San Marino Pizza. I choose that because it has some sausage in the description. I did not like the sauce or the toppings.

Dessert was a perfect Crème Brûlée.

There are a lot of very interesting menu items. I think it's well worth a visit.

Really nice atmosphere and service. Although we had to wait for a good five minutes to be seated. We went there for Afternoon Tea, and to be honest, I expected better food and pastries. I loved the fact that there was a lot of variety and you could taste a decent number of different finger foods and pastries, but I think the quality should have been better for the price. Overall, interesting experience, but for me not worth a second try.

A group of 4 of us visited here as part of a 20 year college reunion. What a delightful treat. We started off with champagne, then a beautiful 3 tiered platter came out with finger sandwiches, crab cakes, crème brûlées, lemon tarts, raspberry cakes. Then we each got our own pot of tea! It was such a fun highlight of our trip. My favorite finger sandwich was the little BLTs. The crab cakes were small and cute and delicious. My favorite dessert was definitely the lemon tarts. This experience was so worth the price!

I visited this restaurant during Houston Restaurant Weeks and I visited it mainly because they were participating. It was definitely a disappointment that I actually had to ask the server for the special menu. Why participate if you will not promote it???? He also took my order without asking me which sides I wanted. I had to find him more than 5 min later to ensure that my order is complete. Our water kept running out without anyone making sure it is refilled. And they seemed to have been short on i e because we didn’t get any.

The food was really good though. I enjoyed all parts of it except crème brulee. THAT WAS A CRIME. Who does creme brulee with custard???!!!! Oh my goodness. It was so sweet and so creamy that already at the first spoon I was done. So disappointing. This level of restaurant should definitely be able to make it the right way.

Atmosphere is nice. Relaxing. Quiet. Definitely tea like and perfect place to meet with friends for a chat.

I went for brunch today and enjoyed my experience more than the first time I visited. The food was great and so was the ambiance. I especially recommend the Avocado Toast with Lox. Also recommend their Blood orange Mimosa and Irish Coffee. Will definitely visit again.

Every single thing we tried is delicious, amazing quality and freshly made.. The fried calamari, the eggplant fries, the watermelon cucumber salad & the Amalfi pizza are highly recommended. For dessert, the Tuscan Almond torte was a perfect balance between sweet & citrus.. Allan, our server, was very friendly, and every single thing he recommended was on point. We are definitely coming back! :)
