Celebrated a birthday and both the food and service was good. Definitely recommend the oysters, Parker house rolls, halibut and the sundae cart (reminiscent of flying international business class on a certain airline with a major Houston hub).

Ricotta cheese with warm honey and bread melted in my mouth, followed by the Rigatoni alla vodka was just heavenly! With some sorbetto for desert and a nice glass of wine, it was the perfect meal! Staff was extra friendly and helpful as well!

This is the third time that we go this restaurant upon our arrival at Houston. Consistency is the word I would use to describe everything. Great ambiance, great location, great attendants and great food.

    We had such a great time at Brassiere! The food was delicious, with a great variety of tapas that made it fun to share and try different dishes. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere really made the evening special. The music was loud and energetic, creating a lively and festive vibe that perfectly fits a high end restaurant. The ambience was fantastic and made the whole experience feel fun and exciting. It’s a great place to go with friends, enjoy delicious food and drinks, and soak up the lively atmosphere. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back!
