Lazy Lane Restaurant

I really wanted to love this place and give it a high rating, but unfortunately the experience missed the mark. My friend and I were seated after a short wait, given drinks, and then waited 20–25 minutes before anyone returned to take our order. The restaurant didn’t seem very busy, so the delay was surprising. When our server did come over, she was pleasant and answered my menu questions (I like to know what I’m ordering), but overall the pacing of service was very slow. When the food arrived, it was underwhelming. We ordered the braised wagyu beef cheeks with potatoes, peppers and onions, tomato harissa chutney, and chimichurri. While it was cooked properly, every component was severely underseasoned. We also ordered the hot honey roasted carrots, which were $17, and added grilled chicken. The chicken itself was ok but again under seasoned. The biggest disappointment was the strawberry shortcake French toast. If it’s called shortcake, it shouldn’t be Texas toast. If it’s French toast, it shouldn’t be dry. And if it’s strawberry anything, there should be at least one strawberry on the plate. Unfortunately, it missed on all fronts. We also had two cocktails that had to be sent back to be adjusted before they were enjoyable. Presentation matters, especially for brunch, and the dishes didn’t look appealing... they were kinda sloppy. When we expressed our concerns, the response was disappointing. The server mentioned she didn’t like the food either and seemed to have a “what would you like me to do?” attitude, which didn’t help resolve anything. We boxed up our food and barely ate it; my friend didn’t even take hers home. I think this place has potential, but between the slow service, bland food, drink issues, and lack of resolution, it wasn’t a good brunch experience for us. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it for food or drinks.

Hi! This is a beautiful restaurant. We visited for the first time, let me tell you: generally the taste of the food is fine, except for the burned taste of the bread in the Brie cheese. My husband got the hamburger, it came before the Brie cheese! Patties fully cooked (no questions on how he wanted them) about 15 min later. I got my “smoked” pasta (no Smokey taste, but that might just be me). The portion is ridiculously small! I finished before my husband, despite the advantage he had of being served way ahead of me. Drinks are amazing, the Brie was good, anything else… disappointing. Oh! The music is way too loud!

I flew into town to visit some friends. The food here was ok… we ordered some apps and mains to share. Ordered the meatballs, Brie and toasts, grilled chicken salad, birria pasta, and smoked pasta. Honestly the grilled chicken on the salad was dry and burnt from the grilling. It tasted like charcoal we couldn’t really taste the lemon herb seasoning. The birria meat on the pasta was really good but the pasta wasn’t al dente. It probs needed like another minute in the boil. The meatballs and brie toast was good. Really enjoy the apps. The smoked pasta was good! Would recommend it. Gave you large pieces of bacon on it. The aesthetic of the restaurant was cute. Service was great. Really appreciated our service.

Lazy Lane is a solid new addition tucked away in the Heights. The food was unique and thoughtfully prepared, and the upscale atmosphere paired well with the very minimalist design. That said, the space felt quite crowded…multiple plates barely fit on the table, which made a full sit-down dining experience feel a bit tight. The vibe feels especially well-suited for drinks and light bites rather than a longer meal, and for sit-down restaurant pricing, there’s some room for improvement. Overall, it’s a promising spot with a strong concept, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the menu evolves over the next few months.

This place is a hit with me, even though I met one of the chefs who told me that they use only imported Italian flour and theirs is not adulterated like the American flour is . I am not kissing anyone’s ARZ. This is truly a fantastic pizza and is on the same level as coastline pizza on Houston Street who also uses fine Italian non adulterated flour.. The American flour industry is poisoning. Everyone in the US.. I will not eat pizza that uses American FLOUR. I love their pepperoni and I also had their soup which was butternut squash that night poured over a chimichurri sauce and it was delicious and a great presentation. It really made for an enjoyable experience for my boyfriend and I.. They also specialize in upper level steaks and other Italian culinary specialties that look so amazing . Yes I was eyeing 👁️ my dining neighbor’s food.😹 and if they have the crème brûlée , that will be a big hit, especially if you share it with someone which is usually what I do for desserts, so I don’t feel guilty with going overboard on my diet😸

Our server Paris went out of her way to help us celebrate our friend’s engagement. The food and drinks were great and the atmosphere was very aesthetic. Tried the baked brie, smoked pasta, snapper, and scallops. Loved all of it. Also tried the s’mores board and bread pudding. Enjoyed everything!

A wonderful experience at this new restaurant. The food and drinks were all delicious and the service and ambience were great!

We made reservations in advance for 5:00. But was seated on the small wicker two seated tables near the bar. I can understand if it was crowed or if the tables behind me were full but they were not. And they stayed that way til we finished our $130.00 meal. I was told by the ruly man host this was all he had. So we made the best of it, but my steak was little warm and not worth the $sixty something with cold vegetables. I did spoke to the kind manager and was served FRESH HOT delicious vegetables. The two appetizers were good. As for the wicker seats by the bar, they had no cushion and it was very uncomfortable. I feel those tables are meant for drinks and appetizers only, not a full course meal, unless its the only place to sit. They were small , which made our food tight to eat. The best part was our server, she was kind and very professional. We want to give another try, just not the steak or wicker tables by the bar.

Excellent new restaurant in Garden Oaks! From the owners of Heights & Co., Lazy Lane is definitely going to be a popular neighborhood spot with a really impressive menu. I had the beef tartare and the Spanish meatball appetizers, followed by the pasta pescatore, and I'd recommend all of them. I'm already looking forward to going back to try their pizzas (especially the baked potato pizza) and to check out more of the wine and cocktail list. Will return soon!
