Theodore Rex

My husband and I were going to The Last Concert Cafe for the 1st time and wanted to get a bite to eat before the show. We parked and walked up a few streets and ran into Theodore Rex. Walked in and was asked if we had reservations. We did not. The gorgeous hostess, Stacey, said 'no problem'. We decided to sit at the bar. Never made us feel bad for not making a reservation. The atmosphere was quaint and relaxing. Every part of this dinner was spectacular. The kitchen is in full view and you can see everything going on. Glad we ran into Theodore Rex.

I’ll leave this as a short review and hopefully the suggestions will be taken on board. Food and service were top notch! Dined in the separate record player room. I loooved being able to play a selection of albums on the turntable—a fun and quirky touch. Suggestions: please, please put a couple floor lamps in the far corners. As the evening wore on it felt more dim and grim as the fluorescent light from the outside shined through the green portion of the stained glass and cast a cold, unappealing light into the room and onto the food. Second, get softer, more comfortable table seating. The metal chairs do not feel elevated or aligned with the service. Nor are they comfortable after several hours of dining on multiple dishes and courses.

My family and I stumbled upon this place after a wedding and needed a chill place to decompress and chat. It was literally in the same building as the wedding venue. We sat on the patio since we didn't have reservations, which was perfect for us since it was quiet. The inside seating was full. What stood out the most was service. Our sever was very knowledgeable of their menu and recommended delicious wines and appetizers. The ambiance was very relaxing out on the patio. It was great find.

Great date night spot. The food was delicious, unique and the service was excellent. The only dish we didn’t like was SOURED PORK SAUSAGE WITH CHORIZO SPICES, GARDEN CUCUMBERS, LIME LEAF - but honestly that’s on us because we don’t love sour flavors. It’s still a good dish worth trying though. This dish was our absolute favorite and I wish I could recreate it at home - ROASTED CAP OF BEEF, JUS ROTI, CHESTNUT MUSHROOMS, LEEK ASH The restaurant is on the smaller side and parking can be kinda tough, but Theodore Rex is worth visiting.

Celebration dinner at Theodore Rex. Finally able to take a night to ourselves to be thankful for our new house. As we moved in we both were really sick for weeks. We've had T.Rex on our radar before we even moved. It really was good. Life is pretty great. And I'm thankful for all the great things in my life. Living near downtown is something we've always wanted to do and we've made it happen. Theodore Rex is not the type of place that we'd throw down that much for a dinner very often. It's expensive. Very. But for a celebration, it's worth it. The place is very small. About 20-some seats and a counter. We got reservations for a Sunday night, but it was early - 5:30 and there were only just a few people there. It quickly filled by the time we were finished with dinner. Great atmosphere inside Houston's warehouse district. Only a mile from our home. We ordered: Spring peas with kombo and grapefruit with flounder sashimi. *delicious. The peas were el dented and had a satisfying crunch to them. The flounder was very tasty. The tomato toast is a MUST HAVE. Incredible. Tagliolini warmed in cultured butter, seasoned with Gulf oyster liquor, mignonette. Very tasty. Soured pork sausage with chorizo spices, garden cucumbers, lime leaf. They said rotate bites between both to bring out the flavors and it did. A little spice that was just right. We got the grouper for our main dish. 2 servings of scamp grouper - this one is zucchini with a sauce seasoned with pernod. And the next dish was the grouper grilled over coals. Cooked perfectly. Desert - Warm strawberry buttercake, cold cardamon cream It was a super meal that I'll never forget. Great little place that I'm so glad we were able to visit.

lovely warm atmosphere to enjoy some inventive yet unfussy food. the tomato toast was an absolute stand out with perfect summer tomatoes cooked until jammy. other highlights included the snapper - so tender and flaky. service was excellent - the waiters know what they are talking about and attentive without being overbearing. next time would love to sit at the bar and get to see the action in the kitchen. only soft critiques are that the prices on the wine menu can be a little eye watering and some dishes lean sweet (the hearty greens, the onions in the mung bean crepe, the slightly over the top richness of the butter cake) but that’s probably just my palate. was a fantastic first visit and would love to come back and try more, especially as the menu rotates.
