The Roof

Service was rather slow, wait time between ordering and getting our food was at least 30 minutes. Food was ok, chicken wings were a bit underdone as well as the shrimp in the shrimp and grits. Grits weren’t seasoned well, needed salt and pepper added for flavor but the crab ball was really good.
Automatic gratuity added to our party of two which was a stretch considering the lack of timely service.
Overall atmosphere was nice but improvements needed on service and food.

This place is ridiculous...With a reservation we had to wait 45 minutes. They will charge your card if your party is not there on time, but they are not responsible for seating you at the time of your reservation...
I ordered a cosmo it was served in a wine glass. The restrooms were nasty with no paper towels to dry your hands.
How do you run out of Cajun Shrimp Tempura?
Lamb chops was nothing but bones
Mac and cheese dried out
Fried chicken raw ( cut into it there was blood)
Fried catfish advertised with 2 catfish (only received 1)
Blackened chicken pasta add shrimp (4 small boiled shrimps tossed in)
The waiter threw the silverware in the middle of the table the food came out 1 to 2 people at a time for a party of 15

I have never in my entire life witness such a mess...

Did I mention that we sat near the restrooms so therefore there was plenty of traffic walking really close by not wearing mask.

The staff there really need an etiquette training...

Food was horrible!!! Drinks were good but took forever. I would not recommend this place

Beyond disappointing!!! Yalls service has drastically declined. Had my nephews high-school graduation party here today and this was the worst service ever!!! Waiters sipping out of straws then putting them back in drinks before they take them to people...trying to charge me for a double shot and you brought me 2 singles...messed up orders. Worst seafood platter I've ever had. I won't be back for awhile. Had people here from out of town you treated them like trash. Get better staff!!! Who wants to wait 30 minutes to get one shot of Hennessey??? I cannot believe yall are still open with this service. Not a kid friendly menu that's crazy

OMG this is the perfect spot for date night! The view is spectacular and you can even go for a stroll along the lake after dinner. It is an awesomely upscale black owned restaurant. And everyone should definitely experience their food and service. I loved the brussel sprouts. My friends had gumbo, fish with etouffee, and the fried chicken! All of it tasted like it was straight from grandma's kitchen! 🤣🥰

We went for a New Year's Eve party so the menu was a buffet meal. The food was good. We plan to return at a later date to sample the full menu.

Great atmosphere for a night cap.
Waiter was friendly, but hovered over us when we had to input the tip into machine (which was off putting)

All I can say is Wow! Super cute spot and vibe! The food was amazing! There was 5 of us and we all said this was the best food we had while visiting Houston. I’m vegan so I had the Cajun pasta with no shrimp or cream sauce. The chef was able to just make it with oil. I even had a mock tail that was delicious! Thank you for an amazing experience! I will definitely be back when I come back to Houston!

If I could give a negative star rating I would. This place is over priced with horrible service. My husband and I decided to try this local restaurant. Boy was that a mistake. We should have left after the less than enthusiastic greeting we received from the hostess. Determined to have a nice time we proceeded to the dinning area. All of the tables are on top of each other, so I requested a open booth in the corner. The hostess told us we could not have the booth because our party was too small. We were sat in the center of the floor surrounded by other guests. The hostess mentioned that our table has a two hour limit before leaving. We ordered cocktails. The Rapunzel was the worst drink I ever tasted. For appetizers we had spring rolls. The rolls were actually good. My husband and I ordered the steak. He added a lobster tail to his order and I added a crab ball to mine. After waiting for some time I noticed that another couple that was seated after us already received their steaks and we were still waiting. We asked the young woman that took our appetizer order if she knew why we still had not receive our order. She stated that they were having an issue with the steaks. We had been waiting for 40 minutes now without our food and had to flag our waiter down for another drink. Once the food arrived it was two very different sized steaks with a lot of fat. The meat was smothered sauce to hide the fact that it was extremely dry. My potatoes were cold and the crab ball that I ordered had shells in every bite. I didn’t even eat half of this disgusting meal. We received the check and paid a ridiculous amount for a lack luster experience. Please don’t go here!! Eddie V’s would have definitely been a much better place to spend our money.

The restaurant has an amazing ambience and the roof deck is phenomenal. Our servers were exceptional including the bartender. Minus 1 star for the lamb chops which had a weird taste and the asparagus had no seasoning. The brussel sprouts were delicious full of layers of flavor. Given the ambience and the price I was expecting much better.
The live music performance was above standard and very enjoyable. It would have been nice to hear it out on the roof deck.
