Le Bistro

This is the hidden gem of Houston! The staff is amazing. The food is high class but the staff is so good atabreaking down the wines and menus withoutwmaking youyfeel likelan idiot. On multiple occasions I have spoken with the chefs to thank them. Everything is reasonably priced and the food is arguably some of the best in the city. If you are looking for an intimate dinner that will blow you away, look no further. You have found your spot.

We were greeted immediately when we entered the door. Waiter was polite and attentive throughout the entire experience and presented himself as if we were truly at a restaurant in France. The place itself looked very nice and the bread brought to the table was as good as I have ever had. Menu was limited to the Houston Restaurant Week for Harvey relief, but what I did have was phenomenal. Scallops were cooked to perfection. NY strip is definitely one of my least liked cuts of steak, but it was actually very good here. Desert was also exceptional. We will definitely be adding this place on the “return to” list. It’s also cool to be able to see into the kitchen where the food is made.

We made reservations for this restaurant for our anniversary. Trying to get to this place was an adventure. However, when we got inside, we were amazed by the service and the attention to detail by the waiters. The food was exquisite. Definitely visiting Kris again. Don't let the location fool you this is an amazing restaurant and in my book is the best in Houston for special occasion.

Chef Kristofer Jakob went overboard for our event! He prepared an amazing menu for Yes Prep East End Senior Dinner Banquet. The staff took care of all the details and provided our party of 110 with a culinary experience out this world. The dessert was double amazing and the shrimp balls appetizers were a hit among our picky eaters, which tells you how delicious they were. Every spoon was full of exploiting flavors catered to the palate of teens ( we adults enjoyed it too) This place is a hidden gem! A wonderful venue for intimate events like the one we had last weekend. It was not my first time at the restaurant, however it was my first catered event, and I must say that every dime spent was 100% worthy. Triple kudos to the Chef, the kitchen staff and everyone involved in the planning and cooking. It was an unforgettable experience for our 2015 Graduating Class.

This was our first visit to Kris. Frankly it was not easy to find, but the GPS worked wonders. We arrive at our appointed reservation time, but a table was not ready. This is not uncommon in restaurants, of course. Here, we were guided to the bar to wait until a table was ready. Kris, himself, offered us wine or champagne while we waited -- on the house. Once at our table we enjoyed prompt service for wine while we viewed the menu. Note that the menu is not extensive but changes regularly. The restaurant is part of, and located in, the Culinary Institute of Houston and the chefs were graduates of the school and did a fantastic job with the culinary experience really, really enjoyed with the food well presented. One problem is that two of our company ordered mussels and while in one order the mussels were open and ready to eat, on the other order the mussels were closed. Without any question the one order was removed and was replaced. Due to the wait, three of us had virtually finished, so when the replacement order of mussels arrived (and I must say that they were in a most delicious sauce) Kris brought over a tray of cheese so that those of us would have something to eat and the person with the mussels would not have to eat alone. NOW, THAT IS CLASS!!! I must add that the dinner was enjoyed thoroughly and will be the first of many trips to Kris'.
