Excellent food. Salmon entree was the best ever as was the cheeseburger and Parmesan fries. The lobster roll was enjoyed by two friends who never offered to share, because it was so good. Martinis were outstanding too. Britanni was a very good server.

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.

Incredible experience start to finish. We sat at the sushi counter which was such a fun experience to talk to the sushi chef as he was preparing our food. We did the 10 course daily omakase and we loved the balance of hot and cold foods and the portions were perfect. Great selection of cocktails and wines by the glass. We can’t wait to come again!

Nico our waiter was truly amazing. I was there on a business meeting and wanted everything to be perfect. Well, we ran Nico all night but he came through each and every time. Food was amazing as always and they seated us in the quietest room as requested so thanks to the front desk staff as well. As usual I cannot wait to return. See you guys soon!!

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!
