Bistro Menil,

1513 West Alabama Street, Houston, TX 77006

"The location is interesting. We went on a Friday night. We choose it for the GF menu. The first waiter was dismissive and lacked personality. After a while a new waiter began serving us. She was better. We started with the French onion soup. It was GF and good. We next had the GF crab cakes. They were excellent. Great sauce and sides. I ordered the San Marino Pizza. I choose that because it has some sausage in the description. I did not like the sauce or the toppings. Dessert was a perfect Crème Brûlée. There are a lot of very interesting menu items. I think it's well worth a visit."

"Really nice atmosphere and service. Although we had to wait for a good five minutes to be seated. We went there for Afternoon Tea, and to be honest, I expected better food and pastries. I loved the fact that there was a lot of variety and you could taste a decent number of different finger foods and pastries, but I think the quality should have been better for the price. Overall, interesting experience, but for me not worth a second try."

"A group of 4 of us visited here as part of a 20 year college reunion. What a delightful treat. We started off with champagne, then a beautiful 3 tiered platter came out with finger sandwiches, crab cakes, crème brûlées, lemon tarts, raspberry cakes. Then we each got our own pot of tea! It was such a fun highlight of our trip. My favorite finger sandwich was the little BLTs. The crab cakes were small and cute and delicious. My favorite dessert was definitely the lemon tarts. This experience was so worth the price!"

"Every single thing we tried is delicious, amazing quality and freshly made.. The fried calamari, the eggplant fries, the watermelon cucumber salad & the Amalfi pizza are highly recommended. For dessert, the Tuscan Almond torte was a perfect balance between sweet & citrus.. Allan, our server, was very friendly, and every single thing he recommended was on point. We are definitely coming back! :)"

"I went for brunch today and enjoyed my experience more than the first time I visited. The food was great and so was the ambiance. I especially recommend the Avocado Toast with Lox. Also recommend their Blood orange Mimosa and Irish Coffee. Will definitely visit again."
