Blue Onyx Bistro

I would have given it 5 stars, but my veal was well done and had no flavor. They replaced it with an amazing Chilean Seabass. It was so light and flaky! The bacon wrapped quail was good. The white chocolate bread pudding was ok, I've had better most other places. The waiter was very nice and helped me fix my meal. One of the other waitresses was not so sccommodating and told me that's the way they cooked the veal. Over all, I would be careful what you order if you come here.

I came with my best friend for Houston Restaurant Weeks and this was our first stop. I don’t remember my first course, but for my entree I had the veal & lobster tail and my friend had the halibut I think. The flavors in the sauces were great, the only problem is I started to feel queasy about halfway through the meal. I had the bread pudding for dessert, hoping the sugar would curb my nausea, but it didn’t. The bread pudding was still delicious, would recommend. The service was quick and friendly, no complaints there. I also had a dirty martini to drink, which wasn’t nearly dirty enough. Four stars overall, which I think is generous.

Everything was excellent --the waiter, the food, and the ambiance inside-- simply spectacular! First time trying escargot, and sad that I had not visited the restaurant sooner--they were so delicious...the seasoned butter was simply delicious that I dipped my bread until butter was gone. I love tempura shrimp, and they did not disappoint, although I would have preferred tempura sauce instead of the accompanied sauce. The crostini bread that came with escargot, I did not eat...too hard; but the warm bread in basket made up for hard crostini bread.

Our anniversary dinner was amazing! My husband went on Yelp to find a restaurant for us and this one did NOT disappoint! We had the Watermelon Basil w/ smoked Mezcal and a Paloma for drinks. For starters we had the shrimp bisque (must have) and crab in garlic butter! For our entrees we both had fish and they were both prepared perfectly! I had the King of The Sea and my husband had the House Smoked Snapper with Zucchini instead of bacon wrapped asparagus. This is a 10/10, for sure!

My family and I went here to celebrate Mother’s Day. It surprisingly wasn’t overbooked with reservations. The service was friendly, but a little slow. The menu is huge. I had the seafood pasta. It was filled with seafood, but the pasta was too thick. The calamari and bread were very good! My family liked their meal as well.
