An Epic Birthday Celebration & Culinary Delight! From the moment we stepped into BeauSoleil HTX in Houston, we knew we were in for something special. Our recent birthday celebration for one of our girlfriends was, in a word, epic, and a huge part of that was thanks to the impeccable service and truly exceptional French-American cuisine with a Cajun flair.
Our server, Jeremiah, deserves a standing ovation. He was an absolute delight – attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about every dish, and possessed a wonderful, friendly demeanor that made us feel right at home. Jeremiah expertly guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations that proved to be spot on, and he was always there with a smile to ensure our glasses were full and our spirits were high. His service truly elevated our entire dining experience.
Now, let's talk about the food, because BeauSoleil HTX delivered on every single front:
We started with oysters, and they were a revelation. Fresh, briny, and perfectly chilled, each oyster was a taste of the Gulf, demonstrating the restaurant's commitment to high-quality seafood. We tried both the raw on the half shell and the Baked Oysters de BeauSoleil, and both were absolute perfection – the baked oysters with their spinach, parmesan, and crispy prosciutto topping were a decadent treat.
The crab cakes were another highlight. These weren't your average filler-heavy crab cakes; these were packed with succulent, sweet lump crabmeat, lightly seasoned to let the natural flavors shine. Served with a delicate sauce that complemented rather than overwhelmed, they were a testament to classic preparation done flawlessly.
The duck confit was simply divine. Tender, crispy-skinned, and rich with flavor, it was a masterclass in French culinary technique. The accompanying orange sauce and candied kumquats provided a perfect balance of sweetness and tang, cutting through the richness beautifully. A truly memorable dish that left us all wanting more.
While we didn't indulge in "Cohen feet" (it seems there might have been a playful misremembering of a dish name or a fun inside joke amongst you girls!), the scallops we did share were utterly exquisite. Perfectly seared to a golden crust with a tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior, they were a testament to the kitchen's precision. Each scallop was plump and sweet, showcasing the freshness of the seafood. We loved how they were presented, a visual as well as a culinary treat.
Every dish was clearly prepared with passion and skill, from the thoughtfully sourced ingredients to the artful presentation. The ambiance of BeauSoleil HTX is also worth noting – it's elegant yet approachable, creating the perfect atmosphere for a special occasion where laughter and good conversation can flow freely.
For a simply for an outstanding meal in Houston, BeauSoleil HTX is an absolute must-visit. With phenomenal food, a beautiful setting, and the incredible service of Jeremiah, it's an experience we won't soon forget. We're already planning our next visit! You must go.
