Relish

We had a wonderful first visit to relish! The restaurant is gorgeous! It has a beautiful atmosphere. It is nice and spacious and isn’t too noisy so you can comfortably hear the people you are with. We came for brunch and ate inside but there is also a nice patio outside. Our server was attentive, kind, and able to answer questions about the menu. We were well taken care of. We ordered the homemade herb biscuits which were delish! I had the watermelon, tomato, and feta salad with grilled chicken. I thought it was great! Very refreshing on a warm day and didn’t leave you feeling heavy. My sister had the cheeseburger and fries which she said was good. My mom had the Italian baked eggs. She said it was ok. She wanted to try something new, but would prefer to order something different next time. We look forward to coming again and trying some different things!

I came here for the first time and sat at the bar but I missed happy hour by 20 minutes. No worries though, the drinks were amazing the vibe was was nice and lowkey. Damien, the bar tender is amazing and I’ll be back for drinks during happy hour. Keep In mind the the food is under whelming - I got the crab cake which was just ok and the seafood soup which could’ve used a little kick.

This is just what the Memorial area needed. A stylish, semi upscale, non-stuffy eatery. They are only open for dinner right now, but as they grow, I would think they will open the doors for lunch business. We were trying to get to a 6:30 PM movie, so we went early to enjoy the happy hour menu. Doors open at 4:30 PM, and even though we were the first to walk in that day, I was amazed how many people trailed in behind us. I think this place will be a hit! We started with the deviled eggs. Oh, my! They were fantastic. They fry a small piece of chicken and place it on top. The whipped section of the deviled eggs was so flavorful. I could have made a meal on those! We then ordered the classic hamburger. It was good. A little salty, but good. I love salt, so for me to say it was salty, that's huge. The fries were perfectly seasoned. They serve unsweetened tea, no sweet tea. I got the lemonade and had to add a little water to cut the tart. It was still good though. Our service was great. We were never without a drink and multiple people came to clear the table as we ate. I love the bar area centered in the middle of the main dining area. I might saddle up there next time and try something from the dinner menu. For sure will order those deviled eggs again!

I’ve been twice since they opened and both times have been stellar! There are two sections to the restaurant, a main dining area and a bar. Personally I prefer the bar because it’s more lively but the dining room is lovely as well. The menu is super approachable and filled with menu items you can eat every day! East coast oysters are great but I also love the Caesar salad and the pastas, especially the pappardelle with mushrooms. Desserts are fun, service is upbeat. Great for families and friends and the bar area is super fun but the seats go quickly! Make reservations!

Valentine’s Day was fantastic, and their service AND food quality did not suffer one bit! You can hear your date in this restaurant as the general volume is not too loud. Clearly, the restaurant is modern chic, and there is valet parking for those who prefer it. They do make use of the Toast payment system here, so you can use tap-to-pay, and they do take reservations. We will be back!

Stepped into the restaurant and was immediately wowed by the layout and decor. I was greeted warmly by the staff. I had the seasonal burrata as my starter, and it was so good. The appetizer was light, and the different textures on the plate were a delight in my mouth. I was intrigued by the Pear & brie grilled cheese description, which reminded me of bruschetta. The sandwich was delicious. The ingredients combination was perfect. The restaurant is big, and has a bar area. There is plenty of parking, but valet parking is also available. Relish is a good addition to the Memorial area.

We decided to try the newer location. Wow, it's gorgeous! The bar is beautiful and the restaurant is stunning. The food is unstoppable! If you can only have one more meal in life, it must be their crispy chicken sandwich! Get over here now! The drinks are thoughtful and extraordinary. 10 stars for the power couple's newest addition!

Food was good. Take home food was missing the remaining steak, server over looked refilling my beverage 3x. Good looking place but needs a tune on service. Maybe try the bar for better luck on that aspect.

Amazing decor, ambiance! Owners spent time, energy on the decor - we really appreciate it. Joined friends for dinner Saturday night, so enjoyed dinner that I returned with a buddy for drinks that Monday. Meals and drinks were excellent. Welcome addition to outside the Loopers / Memorial area. Typically don't have this aesthetic, vibe so far from the cultural heart of HTown. Thank you very much for saving us the near constant drive in to town.

This new Memorial location of Relish restaurant is lovely! Service is impeccable with all the right nuances. I thoroughly enjoyed my Salmon Salad as did my girlfriend. I'll definitely look forward to returning soon!

A couple of months ago, my girlfriend and a few friends and I visited this new restaurant in the memorial area. I had heard great things about it, so we decided to give it a try. The interior was cozy and quite lively, and our server was incredibly attentive. We ordered the pappardelle and mushroom pasta and their signature cioppino. The cioppino was my favorite dish; it was bursting with flavor and well-seasoned. It's a tomato-based dish, so if you enjoy tomato flavors, you'll love it. To complement our meal, we chose a nice red wine. Our server recommended it, and it was a great choice. To end our night on a sweet note, we indulged in a delicious ice cream with aged balsamic, watermelon, and mint.

Not a bad place for a quick happy hour. This place was rocking for 5 pm on a weeknight and sat at oyster bar for a front view of some major shucking. Had the meatball appetizer and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked with an order of their side of in house made bread for dipping the sauce. Worth a return .

Lots of potential in this location, with a sleek interior and nice sized patio up front. There's plenty of free parking and decent amount of bar seating that looks like it could be a fun time. Probably my only gripe with my visit here was the staff other than the manager. The host acted as if our party of 4 adults and 2 children were imposing upon him by walking in on a Saturday just before noon. He made a snippy comment or 2 while we were trying to decide how we were gonna set the table up with the kids, just generally made us feel unwelcomed unfortunately. The wait staff seemed not too interested in being helpful as well, but not maliciously. My 2yo and 3mo were well behaved (no screaming, running around, no screens playing kid-slop tv), so this wasn't warranted by any means, there are definitely occasions where children can be a menace in public. Manager was warm and pleasant by comparison. He greeted us at the door, came by our table during the visit later on and chatted for just a minute or so, and made sure to say thank you before we left. Great stuff from someone in the food SERVICE industry. The food was standard New American dining. I wasn't super excited about anything on the brunch menu, and we weren't given access to a more standard menu. I think average taste and textures, with some above average presentation are a more than fair description for the quality. This is a decent spot to get something on weeknight when you need something familar, but not extravagant. I'd be more interested in the dinner menu I think, and probably will give this location one more chance in the future.

I was planning on getting Cava for lunch but they were closed, I walked into Relish to a warm greeting. I was sat and greeted promptly. The fried green tomatoes tasted great. The french fries were delicious. The burger was pleasant. Beautiful ambiance and staff.

Great service at the Oyster bar at Relish This place was hopping and food came out fast and furious. We came at 4:45 pm and it was packed by 5:30pm. The oyster service was phenomenal and they were shucking as fast as they were ordered for other customers. We ordered the Mediterranean lamb meatballs with a pomodoro sauce feta topped with basil. Ricardo took great care although they were B-U-S-Y!!! Nice atmosphere. Great happy hour. Will return for dinner!

This is a great restaurant with great decor. I visited during lunch where they have happy hour 11 am to 5:30 pm and bites from 3 to 5:30 pm. The manager Eduardo came by and spoke to our group. The bartender Juliana was fantastic. Very patient and attentive. Juliana made the best Old Fashion I've had in a very long time. She recommended the red Snapper and she was not wrong! This dish did not disappoint and is now in my top 10 fish dinners of all time. Will I be back... YES!

Seems like the Relish from River Oaks has expanded into Memorial City. Located in the area next to Cava and Randalls, Relish has a very nice interior indicative of the newer spots opening up in town in the past year or two. Service was very on point and the restaurant was very well staffed during lunch service. Ordered the crab dip and grilled artichoke for appetizers. The artichoke was split in halves and grilled. Unfortunately, although they smelled delicious, they were 90% inedible and very tough, chewy, and fibrous. I had to spit out the leaves because they were rock hard and impossible to chew. The crab dip came with seasoned crackers; it was overall just a bit too salty and devoid of crab. I got the hanger steak with fries and a side of kale and quinoa for the main. The steak was cooked well (to a medium rare) and the pepper sauce was tasty. The fries were a bit thin and crispy for my liking but they had good texture. For the kale salad, I wasn't a fan. Overall, Relish seems to be established as a nice spot for a dinner service or date but I don't think I ordered the best of the limited lunch menu. Service felt upscale enough and the full wait staff was present during lunch so I'd imagine it would be busy during dinner as well. The appearance is there but the food was hit and miss.

Stepped into the restaurant and was immediately wowed by the layout and decor. I was greeted warmly by the staff. I had the seasonal burrata as my starter, and it was so good. The appetizer was light, and the different textures on the plate were a delight in my mouth. I was intrigued by the Pear & brie grilled cheese description, which reminded me of bruschetta. The sandwich was delicious. The ingredients combination was perfect. The restaurant is big, and has a bar area. There is plenty of parking, but valet parking is also available. Relish is a good addition to the Memorial area.

There are a lot of restaurants trying to provide an upscale neighborhood experience but I have not seen anyone execute the level of perfection Relish Town & Country provides. I was truly blown away by the experience. The design team did a phenomenal job with the decor and layout of the restaurant. It's a comfortable and airy environment offering a variety of seating options ranging from the oyster bar, regular bar and main dinning. The food and drinks are prepared to perfection and the staff emphasizes impressive attention to detail. The service was impeccable. Nothing was left out or forgotten. The owner is very hands on exemplifying his passion to insure the day to day operations remain at a high level of consistency. It's worth noting not to get discouraged if reservations are full online. While walk-in are welcomed it is encouraged to call ahead so they have the opportunity to facilitate everyone. There is valet during dinner hours unless you prefer to park further away. While I personally don't find this necessary given the convenient parking I do acknowledge this is a standard practice for restaurants of this caliber. I will definitely return with enthusiasm. Honestly can't get enough of this place.

Food was delicious and fresh. Service was great. Ambiance is beautiful and classy. Great brunch spot in memorial city!

While visiting family in Houston, TX., we stop to have dinner here at Relish. We both had Grilled Pork Chop, parsnip puree, bacon-braised collard greens, pickled peaches and brandy cream. The portion size was just right and I never had collard greens like this before, very tasty. Our waiter Jesus was very helpful by explaining the different menu items. Our water glasses never got empty ( I drink lots of water). We will be back again. Thanks. Paul

Lunch was delicious! Service was a bit confusing.... First server came and told us they work together as a team. We told him we wanted to order drinks. He said he'd send someone over to take our order?? Too many exchanges with servers and too long wait. Might give it another try? Atmosphere was relaxing.

Amazing place delicious food great manager highly recommended... The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations that did not disappoint.

We've been waiting for Relish to open for months! We reserved for a large party of 9. We ordered the carpaccio, broiled and raw oysters, crab dip for starters. All were very good. For mains we had the fried chicken, ribeyes, crab cake and broccolini, mac n cheese, and fries. All very good. I loved that this place is more upscale in ambiance and food while still remaining kid friendly. Kid plates were legit tasty options, which was much appreciated by our foodie kiddos. Huge plus in my book. We also had two mezcal based cocktails that were fantastic. The three deserts were also terrific. Chocolate cheesecake was a major hit! The space and vibe I absolutely LOVE. Walnut, antique art, gold hardware. Will be back! Notes: Multiple plates were over-salted - steak, fries, broccolini. Steaks were over done - medium rare was medium, medium was medium well. Service was excellent until the end. It took too long to get the bill and close out, even after asking.

The restaurant's ambience was really nice, like a speak easy bar, and the entire staff was incredibly friendly! Even the GM was making his rounds and visited our table. It was worth the 45-minute drive to get to this location.

I was rather impressed with this cool place! You will definitely need a reservation as I'm not the only person impressed with their food! I took a chance without one and was offered a bar seat, of course I said yes! I would need at least 10 stomachs to try all the dishes that sounded amazing to me, so I had to settle on simply over ordering with three dishes. The fried chicken deviled eggs were a home run! I wanted the burrata to be fantastic because all the ingredients seemed as if it would be but it seemed to be lacking something, not exactly sure what, maybe too much arugula?? Anyway, then I ordered the grilled sourdough Brie cheese, pear, and blackberry jam sandwich- wow!! Absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be back! The restaurant was quite nice as well, properly appointed and classy. Service was great, maybe too great, I watering to catch up with my Aunt and we were constantly getting asked if we were ready to order as if they wanted us to speed things along.

Food is delicious! Haven't had something bad yet. Service is great, very attentive and quick to bring anything you've asked for. This location is beautiful and honestly looks nicer than the Westhiemer location inside. The bar is gorgeous and layout is really nice and big. Will definitely be back!

We tried this new location for our anniversary and were disappointed. We got the oysters and artichoke for appetizers. The oysters were good, but the artichoke hardly had any meat. For a $16 appetizer, I would have hoped it had more to eat. The one other positive was that the drinks were good. My wife got the hangar steak and I got the New York strip. Both came sliced already, which is not how steak should be served because the juices had run out. My wife's steak was inconsistently cooked and she said it needed salt. My steak was cooked good but it was dry and too chewy for the price we paid. They also sat us at a small round table in between two others where the booth is on one side and a chair on the other. The table to the left had four people and they came after us and left before us even with getting dessert. The waiter did not pay attention to us and we had to try and flag him down multiple times. We previously tried the other location and it was a much better experience. Not sure that I will be back to this location. We expected a much better experience for the price we paid.

We've been here twice in January/February for dinner and loved it both times. Food is amazing, just like the other location. Ambiance is cozy / upscale without being at all pretentious. Started with the carpaccio and it was very good. For entrees - Seared salmon was delish and my husband enjoyed the Cioppino at the recommendation of our server although there's many other dishes to come back and try too so not sure we'd feel the need to order again. My only complaint is the size of the old fashioneds... smallest portion I've ever experienced so wouldn't order again...without sounding like a lush!

Food and ambiance is amazing. Big open windows to all natural light to come in. This was an amazing way to bring in a birthday with light bites. The crab dip and oysters are amazing.

Beautiful space with a large bar surrounded by subway tile flooring, bar booths with privacy curtains between, and half price specialty cocktails from 11am to 6pm. Great lunch menu and outstanding service. Welcome to Memorial Relish, I'll be seeing you soon.

Food was good. Loved the atmosphere. Much closer to Cypress than original location. Will definitely go back.

Appetizer- beef carpaccio was very good, highly recommend, dinner- Crab cake was very good, and shrimp linguine... taste was there, my only beef was clumped together pasta (kind of couldn't believe it was sent out) so poor execution on the dish. I would give 4 stars if not for the silly drink prices. $18 for a small martini, and only one bottle of Chardonnay under $75, a name I did not recognize so had to go with the Far Niente... I don't mind paying for a good bottle of wine, in the right place, but this is more of a Sonoma Cutrer kind of place, ambiance and menu offerings, so deal killer for me to put this one in my rotation... wouldn't mind going back if invited to go with friends, but my wife and I agree there are too many better options in the area with better food and ambience... for what we paid ($240, tip included) for a "didn't want to cook night".

Absolutely amazing restaurant beautifully decorated and very inviting. My husband and I went for a light bite and drinks. We were pleasantly surprised when we were seated at an intimate booth in the bar area. The manager Eduardo could not have been nicer. We knew him from another restaurant as well as Jose the bartender. The cocktails were amazing so delicious and interesting. I literally wanted to try every single one on the menu. We started with the bread service and the deviled eggs. Both were so delicious. I'm still hungry for more!! We had the pleasure of also meeting the owners who could not have been nicer and really treat the restaurant like it's a part of the community. For dinner my husband had the shrimp linguine , so delicious with homemade pasta and great flavor and texture on the shrimp. He said he could've eaten it over and over again. I had the roasted beet salad. It was so delicious full of flavors that really surprised your palette We opted for a cocktail for dessert and coffee. Hands down one of the best experiences in a Houston restaurant in a long time. We look forward to returning and I encourage everyone to go check out Relish even if it's for lunch happy hour or dinner you will not be disappointed. Reservations are recommended!! Enjoy!!

This place is a gem. The food is excellent and the service is incredible. The restaurant manager came over and made my date and I feel welcomed. When I'm in town I am definitely going back. My brother lives down the street and I recommend that he try it.

The restaurant is very nice. Our waiter was exceptionally good. Some of our food was quite enjoyable, but a couple of the entrées were just so so. One of the pasta dishes must have had the pasta already cooked and it had been sitting so it was thick and sticking together. The crab cake was a bit mushy. The mac & cheese was wonderful. One negative thing was they seated a group of 10 people right next to us and the noise level was unbearable.

Food was great service was excellent enjoyed immensely oysters Rockefeller was excellent

I am upset.. stopped by Relish a month ago for HH.. wonderful service, Met the manager Edward.. loved him .. told all my friends to stop by... then i stop by on Valentines day and JOHANNA PAZ is so rude I never want to come back... she treated me like I was an not worthy of walking in there. I was dressed up and ready to stop by for a brief happy hour. SHE SAID YOU MUST HAVE A RESERVATION. Did not even bother to see if she could accommodate three.. i could see empty tables.. but no, JOHANNA, the QUEEN OF RELISH was not accommodating. Well i will call all my friends and tell them NOT TO BOTHER TO STOP BY.. JOHANNA NEEDS A REFRESHER COURSE ON MANNERS!! I am the customer!! Well not anymore!! Sorry Edward!
