French and Japanese cuisine with craft cocktails and live shows
"Ciel has raised the bar for vibe dining in Houston with its one-of-a-kind experience, which includes sporadic live performances throughout the night. There isn’t a bad seat in the house, as singers, dancers, and the staff itself weave in and around tables and take to the stage, creating a high-energy atmosphere for guests. Peruse the sushi menu before trying the Australian wagyu rib-eye, and if you really want to live lavishly, splurge on bottle service." - Brittany Britto Garley
"If someone created an ’80s nightclub with the theme “Poseidon’s Paradise,” it would look like Ciel. Mirrors on the ceiling, rays of blue and pink light filling up the room, and a giant statue of Poseidon in the center of the space tie the theme together. This French River Oaks restaurant is where you get your ravioli with a 75-minute deep house DJ set, or if you’re lucky, a “Ciel Angel” will do a fan kick over your head." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"The ideal restaurant for a Leo is one that will be the center of attention (after them, of course). And we can’t think of a more main character spot than Ciel. This French River Oaks clubstaurant is where you get your ravioli with a 75-minute DJ set, or if you’re lucky, a “Ciel Angel” will do a fan kick over your head on the weekends. It also has mirrors attached to the ceiling so the lions can stare at their reflection while waiting for their tuna tartare. There’s nothing too bold for Ciel, so Leos should come here when they’re feeling their fiercest or needing compliments on their sparkliest outfit." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"This vibe-dining destination merges Japanese cuisine and French sensibilities with the glamor of Las Vegas and European-leaning decor. Aside from being a great spot to pop a bottle, though, Ciel’s menu presents intriguing dishes like Chilean sea bass plated with miso pomme puree, wasabi, and chives, and the Ora King salmon served with charred cabbage, dashi, and creme fraiche. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Experience dinner and a show in fine fashion at this ultra-trendy River Oaks restaurant, where no dining experience is ever the same. Guests are treated to impromptu performances by singers and dancers taking to tabletops throughout the course of the evening, while they indulge in a menu of French and Japanese cuisine." - Marcy de Luna
