Reviews for Blue Onyx Bistro in Houston, TX
My family and I went here to celebrate Mother’s Day. It surprisingly wasn’t overbooked with reservations. The service was... friendly, but a little slow. The menu is huge. I had the seafood pasta. It was filled with seafood, but the pasta was too thick.The calamari and bread were very good! My family liked their meal as well. Read more
The restaurant has many bottles wine displayed. But when I asked for a wine list, the server told me they didn't have one. I... believed it was a language issue. The look and feel of this place is very much fine dining. But the servers failed to matchthe expectations. Incident 1: when ordered an appetizer dish, server said it's sold out because that large table ordered a lotof this dish. Incident 2: I had a 4 tops. It's unacceptable (for me) to see a fine dining restaurant to "auction" off thedishes when they arrive. I.e. "who has the steak? Who ordered the pasta?" It doesn't take much to note down seat 1 orderedwhich dish. ** Please give this review a LIKE is you find it useful! As for the food, they are very well placed. The qualityand taste of the good is good! Despite the mishaps started above, I would still recommend this place, especially if you areinto seafood. Read more
Beautiful decor and very attentive waiter staff. When we arrived it was only us and another couple. The bread and water was... served less than one minute of us being seated. For an appetizer we had the Stick Ribs which was very delicious. For entrée Ihad the Grouper with Scallops and Spinach and a Pomegranate Mojito. The Mojito was too strong for my liking so I didn't drinkit. My husband had the Fried Shrimp and Fries. There was not many non alcoholic drinks to choose from only sodas which we don'treally drink. So my husband only drink option was a HiC Pink lemonade. The food presentation was amazingly beautiful. Eventhough the Grouper and Scallops was good I believe it needed more herbs and spices to add more flavor. There is a mandatory 20%gratuity added to total. We wasn't aware of this until it was time to pay our bill but i figured maybe we overlooked it. For ourmeal we paid $113. Also I would suggest a more presentable menu presentation the ones we had was torn with tape holding it. Read more

We also had the Cajun Roll, Crunchy Roll and the Hot Sea Monster Roll. Great portions for the price and wasvery delicious! We cleaned out our plates. Read more
As someone who loves good seafood, this menu is Out of this world. I got a pomegranate mojito and squid ink pasta- both were... Completely Delicious. But I'm really here to talk about Our Service. It was IMPECCABLE. Timely, not too invasive but still VeryEndearing and Engaging. They deserve every star. Read more
Pretty decode, easy street access and parking. Food is good and displayed beautifully. I’ve been going there since they first... opened. The owner and staff used to be very accommodating and friendly. But not this last time. There were not very busy atlunch, but the waiter seemed to be in hurry to get rid of us. Plates were take away before we finished eating and no water/icetea refills were offered. Read more
I've had the best food of my life at Blue Onyx! The flavors, creativity, quality, and presentation of the food were amazing! The... seafood tasted really fresh and I would highly recommend the chili oil ravioli dish and truffle pasta (handmade fresh noodles)!They were some of the many memorable dishes that I was surprised by! Customer service was also really amazing. I highlyrecommend eating here! Read more
