Reviews for The Chef's Table in Houston, TX

Every dish we ordered was unique and delicious. I am confident that the many other dishes available would also be wonderful and... satisfying. What I noticed is that Chelsea, our server, was able to speak thoroughly about the different dishes, how they wereprepared and what to expect if we ordered something. The bartender, Ryan, was also able to provide much information about thefoods on the menu - and did so in a personable way. This indicates a well-educated and well-trained staff, a detail that isoften ignored at a restaurant. That said, I am not surprised that the food was terrific - I would imagine that the effort thatwent into training the dining room staff also appears in the kitchen as well. These qualities are what makes this restaurant acut above other places. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the night was capped off with a lovely serenade bySarah, one of the talented wait-staff persons. We will be back again and highly recommend others to give this restaurant a try. Read more

We were visiting from out of town and our hosts brought us here. I’m sad we don’t have such a great place back... home! Everything was great - the food was delicious, and our server Jayme was really helpful and friendly. I had the chickenpendurada; others in the group had steak dishes and everyone loved what they got. The sides were flavorful and plenty. Fordessert we had the sticky toffee pudding and lava cake and they were both really well made. I regret having but one stomach todedicate to the food! Read more

This is one of the most amazing culinary experiences I have had in my life. Everyone had an amazing time. I organized a brunch... for 32 of my friends and it was fabulous. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and the atmosphere was awesome. Sarah an operasinger serenaded the group and blew us all away with a her beautiful song of "So This is Love". I can not thank Chelsey andespecially Executive Chef (and Owner) Paul as well as the rest of his staff including Julio, Petra and of course Sarah formaking this beautiful experience an unforgettable event.

Stop reading reviews and check this place out already! My wife and I had an amazing experience here for our wedding anniversary.... Great ambience and a highly professional wait staff. The cocktails were amazing! Chef Paul really loves what he does - enough tocome over, say hi, and make my old fashioned personally at our table. On top of the amazing food and highly professional waitstaff, Chef Paul was like that uncle that kept making sure you're having a great time! Garlic Naan was a nice start and burstingwith flavor. If you're a carnivore like me and undecided with what meat to go for, the Backyard Braai is a good journey for yourcravings. I can't wait to try the seafood when we return. My wife's Diane Sisters was on point - great experience on friedbrioche. And definitely don't leave without getting his Sticky Toffee Pudding ???? definitely would drop 6 stars if I could.Thank you Chef Paul for bringing something like this in the area. Sure was a culinary journey and worth every penny. Read more

Overall a good experience. The waiter was exceptional but expected for prices at this establishment. The food was a little bit... more fried than we anticipated which made it taste great but compromised the quality in my opinion. However, the Spanish dip wasthe bomb. Definitely the best part of the meal. Also,the dessert was shockingly delicious for a toffee cake which did not soundpleasant at the time when we ordered it. Read more

I went to the chefs table with a few friends and we ALL loved it. We all have different tastes in food, but there was something... for everyone. My friends got the steak and the got the fish. Very well cooked. We ended the night with lava cake and it washands down the best lava cake I’ve ever had in my life! The chef came by at the end to say hello and ask about the food. Theservice, ambience, and food was exceptional Read more

What an incredible experience! Chef Paul came out to our table to share stories about the scrumptious menu selections that were... as flavorful as the fare. Normally I'm meat centric, but his vegetarian chili in the acorn squash bowl was hearty, tasty andfilling. I took a date, who had the head-on Red Snapper--so much fun! Our overall experience was so exceptional, I can't believewe aren't married yet! Maybe on my next visit. Read more

We had the Kudu steak and the jerk snapper as our main meal, with lobster Mac n cheese as a side. For drinks a tropical Moscow... mule, cucumber martini and a red wine for my steak. Overall atmosphere was great, seating was spacious. Food was amazing, Ihaven't had a steak this good in such a long time. I usually make my steaks at home because we get disappointed withrestaurants. But I am glad I had this one. The Jerk snapper was great the sauces was amazing. Definitely coming back. Read more
