Cruso

Came in on a Tuesday night. There was a big birthday party going in the back. This place has plenty of space. Even has a conference styled room in the back. Plenty room at the bar. Our server Hannah was very friendly. As was told they were short handed especially with the big party, she had to run back n forth to help everywhere. Ordered the calamari, was decent. A build your own pizza with vegetables and sausage. It was not that impressive. Didn’t finish the pizza. Good wine collection and good parking space for the heights area.

Visited for Houston Restaurant Week dinner and it did not disappoint. The appetizers were both good, and it was crazy that I liked the corn over pork belly because for most dishes, it’s the opposite. Both main courses were very homestyle, warm food, full of flavor. However, they were just a bit too salty for me. The Oh My Gato cocktail was amazing! Was happy to hear it wasn’t a HRW special, but something that is on their regular menu. All food aside, I gotta really compliment our server, Mike! He was super attentive, very friendly, giving recommendations, asking for opinions, and was very knowledgable.

Delicious! We started out with drunken garlic bread and baked goat cheese. The garlic bread alone was amazing, and the dip it comes with was perfect. Then we got 2 “cluck you BBQ” pizzas. I knew I was hungry, but after tasting it, I couldn’t stop eating. I ate one entire pizza myself it was so good! Everything was great! Definitely try it out!

More like a 4.5 if I’m being fair. Nice, convenient Heights location with a large back patio / outdoor space - great for families and pet friendly. Check out the specially hand-crafted cocktails for brunch. On our recent visit, we came with a large party (17 people + a toddler and newborn) and camped out on the covered patio. Even though we slammed the kitchen with orders, food came out quickly and prepared correctly to order. I do miss the donut burger from the brunch menu - yes, an actual thick, juicy burger using a large, glazed donut for its bun! - the chicken and waffle sandwich is a great substitute!

The ambiance here was so relaxed and inviting, the music wasn’t too loud. My husband and I were looking to try something different while in town, and the menu items drew me in, so we had to come! The goat cheese marinara appetizer was right up our alley and it comes with 4 pieces of wine soaked bread, but you can get a side of 4 more pieces for $4 👀 we also shared the calamari (which was excellent!) and the burger (I put some of the extra marinara sauce and goat cheese on my burger, and in my opinion made the burger 😅🤤) we will definitely be coming back to try other menu items!
