Spectacular good and service. Brittany was our server and she was outstanding. A young gentleman brought our appetizers and he was absolutely the most personable adorable person ever. We really enjoyed our date night and can’t wait to come back.

We had just spent a full week in New Orleans and it was good to be back home. The southern cuisine at Lucille's exceeded anything we had in the "Big Easy". It was our first time to visit but definitely won't be the last. We shared the chili biscuits (not what we expected but fantastic!). My wife had the chicken and french toast (she's still raving about it) and I had the shrimp & grits and this was probably the best rendition of this classic I've ever had. Great food, unique albeit small setting and a must visit Houston classic.

    This visit was our first time dining at Haywire. We had a great experience. The environment was very pleasant, service was excellent, and the food we had was good sized portions and very tasty. We intend to dine her again and try other menu items. I definitely recommend this restaurant!!!

    We were always a little hesitant to try Republic Grille, because it is a little pricey for us, but we were given a gift card, so we gave it a shot. We had a great time. We had the coconut shrimp for an appetizer and the grilled tacos for supper, and both were perfect! Service was great, that right balance that's attentive without being disruptive. We went on a Sunday evening, and a gentleman was playing some very good soft live music, just he and his guitar, some interpretations of some 60's and 70's songs. Everything was just right.
