We stopped in for a cocktail and appetizers and will definitely be back soon! The beautiful design of this restaurant is worth a visit alone. We sat at the oyster bar - loved the raw oysters and whipped feta. They have a great wine list and we can't wait to try the dinner menu. It was such a treat and the wait staff was incredible. We love seeing such special new places opening in Memorial. Please go, support and enjoy!

Absolutely amazing restaurant beautifully decorated and very inviting. We were at the new Memorial location in Town & County. 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!!

Choosing this place based off of the photos of the meals really paid off! We came here because I had to try the deviled eggs, very happy that we did. Everything was good, including the drinks. Service was very good until our waiter got a little busy then we had longer wait times for to go boxing and the check. Outside of that, this was a great experience for a decent price.

I made a reservation online for 3 outside patio; and when I got to the restaurant, they told me that they couldn't reserve spaces on the patio. The hostess was extremely rude and it was very upsetting since we had planned this lunch spot and reserved a space online. After five minutes of having a disagreement, they happen to find a table in the corner on the side patio, which was the only table available. It's not the main patio... I would have given the restaurant a five star if I had a more pleasant experience with the hostess and seating that I had reserved online and drove over 30 minutes to be at this restaurant with my girlfriends. OK, so about the food. The tomato soup was really good but the soup stains your face. If you are doing a business meeting or on a date, I definitely would not order soup because it will stain your face and lips. The watermelon salad I was so excited about, but they barely had any feta in it Or watermelon; it was like you were just eating arugula. The burger was decent. And the fries were good.

An excellent brunch spot in Houston! The Deviled Eggs were very unique with small fried chicken on too and absolutely delicious. The Biscuits and Eggs were great and the pancakes are incredibly fluffy and the whipped cream was just as delicious.

Houston Date Night Idea Relish is a great date night spot, but could also be ideal for a business lunch or ladies brunch with its adorable patio and chic decor. We enjoyed the: - Spicy Paloma: Camarena Tequila, grapefruit, lime, Marfa Spirit Co. Rio Grande grapefruit liqueur, hibiscus syrup, fresh jalapeño, Richard's Rainwater Sparkling, chili salt - Rosé 75: New Amsterdam Gin, St-Germain Elderflower, lemon, sparkling rosé - Deviled Eggs: horseradish, crispy fried chicken, maple drizzle - Whipped Feta: warm tomato confit, thyme, saba, grilled sourdough - Seared Salmon: braised white beans, melted leeks, artichokes, dill, lemon, tomato confit, beurre blanc - Fried Chicken: hot honey, parmesan cauliflower, rosemary biscuit - Bulleit Bourbon Carrot Cake: 3-Layer Carrot Cake, cream cheese frosting, candied walnuts, bulleit bourbon caramel sauce - Caramel Brownie a la Mode The standouts for us were the whipped feta , the seared salmon (really unique flavors and an epic crust on the fish ), and the carrot cake! I have never been a big carrot cake person, but we trusted our amazing server Logan, and he did not steer us wrong!

This was a random pick of places on my date night to go list. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice, sort of middle of the road classy. Prices aren't extremely crazy, got out with a $105 bill before tip for two. Drinks are good, food was good. I highly recommend the French fries the most of anything. Super tasty and crispy, and you get a ton. The Harissa chicken was a whole lot of food!! Was overall good but the inside of the chicken was pretty plain. The side that came with it were good as well. The carrot cake was DELISH!! Super moist, not too sweet, nuts were a great addition. My date ordered the Caesar with came minimally dressed and was a little dry. We just requested extra dressing and that fixed the issue. The rolls on the menu were also pretty good. Not Texas Roadhouse or anything but pretty solid. Overall, great date night spot if you have a little coin to spare on something more than a casual spot.

I had high expectations for this restaurant. It gives date night/lunch with the girls vibes. The food was okay. We had the Cajun crab dip and turkey club sandwich. The 75 was really good. Our service was horrible! Megan was not attentive at all. She was constantly waiting on the surrounding tables and passing by us like we weren't even there. The manager, Michael, ended up taking our food and drink order. Plus, he brought the check and Togo boxes. My mom spoke with the manager and he assured us he would speak with Megan regarding her service. They have valet parking or you can self park. Probably would stop in for a drink but that's it's.

I went to Relish for happy hour with a girl friend of mine and really enjoyed myself! For my happy hour drink I tried the salty dog per suggestion of our waiter and although the name sounds odd.. it's actually quite delicious! Aperopl, grapefruit with a vodka base as the main spirit with rosemary garnish. Very light, and refreshing and easy to casually sip on. For my meal. I tried the charbroiled oysters (10/10) and the Cesar salad topped yummy capers, shaved parmesan and grilled shrimp. Our waiter was great, excellent service and easy parking! I would definitely visit Relish again and looking forward to trying their Memorial location as well.

Went here for a date night and the service was one of the best we've experienced in a while! Food was great and yummy, the crab dip was so delicious.

Went here with the wifey for an early birthday dinner, and boy was I excited to try this place. We came there early enough on a Monday night, ie 6:30 pm, to be able to find our own parking spot and not have to pay for valet parking. It's not a very big parking lot. So I saw on a tv show a drink that had vodka and grapefruit juice and really wanted to try one. I was very happy to find the drink "salty dog" on the menu that had these ingredients. It was very nice. It was refreshing and I felt like I was helping the environment drinking something that had a tree growing in the middle of it. I was told by a friend of mine that I had to try the lobster roll here. I'm a big fan of them since I grew up in New England and had them all the time growing up as a kid. Since I've started watching my weight I decided to go with the Brussels sprouts as my side instead of fries. Let's get to the star of the show. I kid you not, that lobster roll (or as we call it in New England "lobstah roll") was one of the best I have ever had in my life! If you enjoy a good lobster roll you have to try one from here, you won't regret it. Oh, the Brussels sprouts were pretty good too. Getting dessert here is lots of fun! I got a slice of carrot cake and paired it quite nicely with a caramel latte. It was the perfect ending to a great meal. Yes, that's right, they have their own expresso machine! Thank you Mr. Relish! We will be back, please don't ever lose your delicious lobster roll recipe!

We love hitting relish whenever we have a day off for a quick lunch. My favorite things are their deviled eggs, oysters & Cesar salad. They also have an amazing happy hour menu. The restaurant's hours can be confusing because online wasn't accurate the last time we went but still great nonetheless!

Upscale ambiance, incredible food, and reasonable prices (especially for the area) - the perfect spot for a nice night out! I came by with a friend one evening, and we were seated pretty quickly per our reservation. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive and made sure our glasses were always filled with water! He also answered our questions and helped us choose our meals based on our preferences. I want to start by sharing my surprise at how quickly the food came out! As I hadn't tried seafood in Houston before, I decided to get the Linguine and Shrimp. Each bite had an explosion of flavor - buttery, hints of lemon, various spices, plus the addition of tomato. I couldn't believe how much I could taste despite not being a spicy dish! The portion size turned out to be much more than I expected as well, and I ended up having enough for another meal left over! I had a fantastic time visiting and would love to be back!!

I've been here a few times when I want a nice upscale & classy but laid back lunch. There are plenty of food options to please both men and women of varying appetites and preferences. The prices are not astounding, especially for the great flavors and generous portions. Logan was my most recent server. He is personable and willing to make recommendations and an appropriate amount of small talk. We were not disappointed by the crab dip he directed us too. My pear/brie sandwich was just right, and...oh...those delicious fries! This delightful spot will stay on the usual rotation as it is delicious, affordable and will reliably make everyone in our party happy.

Beautiful inside. Food is just ok. I get why the deviled eggs are popular those were the best bite of the night. Everything else left something to be desired. I got the lobster roll for a market price of 32 which is kind of a cheaper side and it tasted like it. Didn't really get much flavor at all from the lobster not even seafood flavor. I subbed the side fries for fried okra. The okra was very strong maybe from being pickled and the breading had no seasoning. The wedge salad was good but hard to mess those up. The waiter said the lemonade was made in house but it tasted like sweeter Minute Maid. Our server was kind and super attentive.

Lunch food was nothing amazing. Steak was not cooked to medium but medium well. Salad was also only spinach in the mix not any spring mix as describe in the citrus salmon

Writing this review having had both bunch and dinner on two separate locations. Overall just a good place to just try at least once if you live in Houston. Brunch was great. Nothing speaks to a well-rounded dinning experience when meals are delivered without the waiter asking "who had the..." Will say dinner is better at Relish. The Cajun Hot Crab Dip was a surprise, and the Whole Grilled Artichoke was delicious. If you choose to go for a steak, don't get the Hanger Steak, get the Steak Au Poivre. It's a night and day difference. Portions are well respected. Do note the restaurant does get pretty dim at night to the point you notice it being a little too dark.

We always seem to find the best little gems while on our way to somewhere else, and see a place that's too inviting to pass up... this happened again with Relish! We got there at a perfect time, at happy hour right before dinner started. We had the deviled eggs and I usually am not a fan of fried chicken but these were awesome! Surprisingly light with tons of flavour. Two of us shared the mussel dish and shrimp linguini. Loved them both! The shrimp linguini was also very light and I was pleased at the portion size. So many pasta dishes are simply too much and I rarely order them because of it. This was perfect. The drinks were fabulous; refreshing and vibrant on a warm rainy day. Our waitress Jasmine was a doll and took great care of us, though others that dropped food off were very attentive too. All in all, another happy time spent at a surprise new gem! We'll be back.

Wow, I was so happy this restaurant is near an appointment I had. I've had it bookmarked for a few months and finally had the opportunity to try it, and wish I didn't wait so long. At a high level, breezy and lighthearted interior, every dish we had was delicious- plenty of healthy options but if you want something heartier they had plenty of options too. I got the Grilled artichoke as a starter since it reminded us of one we had in napa valley years ago, and it lived up to the description. It was absolutely phenomenal, loved the charred lemon heartiness of it! We also got the bruschetta, which was a ricotta, zucchini and eggplant with some sort of tomato sauce and pine nuts. The blend on top of that decadent bread was something I could eat straight with a spoon. Apparently the bruschetta changes (daily? Seasonally?) either way - I'd advise you ask what is on it if you come because it was probably my favorite part of the meal. Lastly my wife and I shared an apple salad with grilled chicken - they had plenty of protein options but we wanted to add something to make the meal a bit more filling. The salad was absolutely fantastic, lots of acidity and sweetness that was captivating and refreshing! After that delicious meal we tried their carrot cake which was so moist, rich and delicious. We could only get through about half of that slice but brought it home and it was just as good the next day. I couldn't tell if it was caramel or honey drizzled on top (or maybe a mix?) but that drizzle spoke to my soul :) Everything we had here was fantastic, the waitress gave plenty of recommendations, it was lively on a weekday lunch with plenty of other patrons, and I am definitely keeping this place on my bookmarks of favorite places!

Relish. Like relish in a hotdog or relish like relish the moment. Met a friend for Thursday dinner at 5:30 pm. It's a nice place and the staff were super friendly. My friend had been there before so she ordered the deviled eggs for an appetizer. It has a piece of fried chicken on top and wowza. Delicious. Friend ordered the chicken marsala a s I ordered their pappadelle with mushrooms and prosciutto. Friend shared a piece of her chicken and it was so tender, juicy and tasty. Yum. The pappadelle was perfectly cooked and went well with the mushrooms and prosciutto. I wanted more lol. Friend ordered the carrot cake. For the record, carrot is my kryptonite but she insisted I try a piece. And it wasn't bad at all. She said it was really good. (She is a carrot cake oficianado). The environment was nice and the staff were super friendly and pleasant. They were also patient. This is our 1x a month chat session and they didn't try to rush us out. Be careful of the parking tho. It looks like it shares a partial lot with Chuy's and there are writings on the lot that tell you which spots are for Chuy's. (hard to say at night tho) Def plan on returning. They have a brunch menu for the weekends too. And a full bar. They seem to be a wine spot.

The service was attentive, atmosphere was lovely and the food was unmatched. The hot crab dip were incredible as well as the lamb meatballs. I'd recommend for an intimate dinner or business dinner!

Food was phenomenal. Only thing that was a slight let down was the service. Butternut squash soup was something to dream about and panini was filling and crisp to perfection. We had a 5 top that was hidden during the lunch rush. Understandably, there was a delay to our server getting around to us etc. Overall, a great experience and will be back for sure.

Good food, good prices for the area and great service! I came here recently for lunch with coworkers and we had a great time. I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was tasty. The ambiance is nice, there were many people having lunch but it didn't feel overcrowded. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

Truly a classic, can't go wrong menu. Relish is a nice spot, nestled in the corner of a strip mall off of Kirby and Westheimer. I loved the ambiance, very clean and simple but cozy and comfortable. It was quiet when we got there just after 5 but filled up by the time we finished. Their happy hour deal for house cocktails is pretty good: 1/2 off! Rosé spritz was delicious, light, and summery. We couldn't resist the crab dip, and it was fantastic, just wish it wasn't $20 ouch. Chicken sandwich and steak frites were good, nothing to write home about but good. I didn't feel like the flavors lived up to the dollar signs but it's still a nice place for any type of outing. I also wish I got a shot of the carrot cake but trust me, that's what you want.

Yelp
So torn on Relish! The great: If the review was only for cocktails and dessert, this place would get 5 stars easily! Among the 4 of us we had the Lavender Sour, the Rose 75, The Rita, the gin and tonic, and the Rose Spritz. All reasonable priced at $12, delicious, and far from boring. For dessert we had the bullet bourbon carrot cake and the chocolate candy bar. Although carrot cake is never one of my top choices, this one was INCREDIBLE and I would go back just for it. The chocolate candy bar was also very rich and tasty. The good: The deviled eggs were good and would be a tasty happy hour snack! The place is cute and parking is actually pretty easy, but it is very loud and we had trouble hearing our friends across the table. The service was also very good, friendly. The not so good: all the other food...now it was Houston restaurant weeks which I don't always think is the best showcase of what a restaurant has to offer. Anyway we had the burrata and melon salad. The melon seemed under-ripe and we had to cut up the melon ourselves which was tricky in the dish it was served (sounds picky but it made it hard to get a bite with all the elements). I had the steak frites and I knew it was only a 4oz filet but when it came out it looked so tiny, like a steak for a baby. It was cooked ok and the fries weren't anything special. My husband had the salmon which was good and my friends has the snapper which they said was also just ok. All around, I would come back for happy hour and/or dessert. If you take away anything from this review: GET THE CARROT CAKE!

Great service, and ambiance. The Summer Tagliatelle transported me to the Amalfi Coast with each bite. The pesto is so fresh and the pasta is perfect. This dish is a must! The chocolate brownie was served warm & chewy with ice cream.

Relishing the Night Away in River Oaks! Our group of friends decided to take advantage of the gorgeous Houston night and dined al fresco on the patio at Relish in River Oaks. The ambiance was relaxed and inviting, a perfect backdrop to our evening of laughter, good food, and perfectly mixed Martinis. The service was friendly and attentive, despite the restaurant being a tad slow. Our waitress, demonstrating an excellent sense of humor, offered to tell us jokes to lighten the mood during the wait - a genuine and appreciated touch that lent a personal note to our dining experience. The main event of the evening, of course, was the food. I opted for the Cavatappi Suga Rossa, and it was an absolute delight. The pasta was cooked to al dente perfection and the sauce held a robust, balanced flavor that made every bite a joy. One of my companions ordered the skirt steak, which was plated beautifully and cooked to specification. However, we all agreed it was not the standout dish of the evening. It was good, certainly, but it didn't wow us as the other dishes did. The Summer Tagliatelle, on the other hand, was a revelation. Beautifully presented and bursting with fresh, summery flavors, it received unanimous praise from the table. We also tried the fried chicken, which was comforting and satisfying - a true homage to Southern cooking. Our chosen side, the Parmigiana Cauliflower, unfortunately, did not meet the high standard set by the other dishes. While not terrible, we found it lacked a certain something - perhaps it needed a stronger seasoning or a touch more Parmigiana. To cap off the meal, we sipped on espressos. They were decent and served at the right temperature, a nice, warm way to wrap up the dining experience. Overall, our evening at Relish was a joy. The setting, the service, and most of the food were top-notch. We left with full bellies, great memories, and plans to return in the future. If you're in the River Oaks area of Houston, give Relish a try - you might just find your new favorite dining spot.

Credit given when it is due. Crystal responded to my email regarding food allergies within a day and made sure to give important details regarding the food prep. I've always loved the food at Relish - this amazing customer service deserves a phenomenal review. Thank you.

We only had appetizers. We will have to come again and I'll update how the entrees are. Deviled Eggs- Sooooooo good. I mean I have never had anything like it. The horseradish with the fried chicken that was seasoned and fried perfectly, went well together. Cajun Crab Dip- Also seasoned well. I thought it was going to be salty especially with the crackers, but the cooks that night did a good job. I love the spin on the saltine crackers. Cotija corn- Just ok. Could definitely use more Cotija but I also feel I am so used to Elote, it was missing something. I got the mayo and it made it much better. But it was ridiculous to charge me $1 for that mayo. But I chose not to let this effect my review. Fried Okra- We were very disappointed. Personally, I love pickled Okra. Honestly, this was why I wanted to come here. It was just not good. It didn't have that pickling flavor we were expecting.

Robyn W.

Yelp
Popped in here for brunch and it did not disappoint! Very clean, open, and inviting. Service was spot on - not too fussy, but checked in often enough to ensure water and drinks were filled. The cinnamon roll was amazing and big enough for the three of us to easily share. The Smoked Salmon was also incredibly fresh and enjoyable. The crispiness of the toast held up beautifully with the soft salmon and whipped cream. I wouldn't hesitate to get it again. Hope to make it back for happy hour or dinner sometime soon.

Came here for a last minute girls brunch on a Sunday! Didn't realize they close at 3 and we showed up around 1:30-2. The staff still gave good service even when we were the last patrons left. Must haves- the devil eggs! The fried chicken on top really is what makes this appetizer... So good that we ordered three rounds of them! (One set per person hahahah) Chicken and waffles are pretty good as well. As far as brunch cocktails- they don't do carafes but the option of getting a bottle of sparkling wine and juices is available... and worth it. If you're in the area and looking for a place to brunch over the weekend... stop by Relish!

Amazing service and attention to detail. The Ciopinno was the best I've ever had. Melted in my mouth. I WILL be back for it again.

I came here for a lunch date & the place is very cute & everyone is very friendly. The waiter immediately got to us and asked us what we wanted to drink. We got mojitos and they are super good. The second one I got was a lot stronger LOL, but good nonetheless. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Salad & my friend got the salmon. Both were delicious. I particularly (oddly enough) loved the croutons. The salads are a good portion & tasted very fresh. For dessert, we got the chocolate brownie cake with vanilla ice cream on top. Super yummy. Would come back.

Candy C.

Yelp
The space decor is nice however, there is nothing to absorb the sound so it can be quite noisy in the main dining area. For the most part, staff was friendly. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and there was staff all around when we had questions. You know when you get the feeling someone is just put out by you... I felt like our server wasn't really into to it. It was just a feeling. The server was there to take the orders and came back to check on us, answered questions and gave us the special but still you can go through the motions and when you aren't feeling it people can tell. Maybe the server is like that with everyone... I don't know. Anyway, let's talk food... deviled eggs - crispy chicken on top of a creamy egg... what's not to luv - delicious, the lamb meatballs - tender and moist with a lot of flavor, the Okra- crispy and nicely breaded, the Cioppino - delicious - the grilled bread was a nice accompaniment, the greens have potential- they needed more time in the pot and maybe a dash of chicken bouillon and a splash of hot sauce. Overall, pretty good. I would come back to try other items.

Came here to celebrate friends bday. Service is decent. Everything we ordered was pretty good. Nothing was bland or over cooked. Our favorite was the crab dip. The place feels pretty big and it's family friendly.

This great neighborhood spot, literally down the street from my house is charming, fun and reliable. The waitstaff are awesome.. the ambiance is perfect and the food couldn't be better. Drinks and wine list are spot-on. My husband recently had the fish special and I had the smoked beef carpaccio...both sooo good! On past visits I've had sandwiches, soups and salads ...all great. My only complaint is that it is packed at lunch ( understandably so) and it is rather loud. We will

I met some friends here on a weekend as it's one of their favorite places to go to in Houston. I came there a few minutes early ahead of our reservation, and noticed Valet outside. There were a few parking spots also blocked off for Valet Parking. The parking lot was shared with Chuy's and other stores. After going inside, I was greeted and asked if I had a reservation. I waited for a little bit before requesting to sit at a table. A few minutes later, my friends joined me, and upon which time a waiter had greeted us and asked if we wanted any drinks. My friends ordered an Old Fashioned and wine whereas I ordered a You Can't Buy A Backbone. We also ordered Deviled Eggs and Raw Gulf Coast Oysters for appetizers. I also ordered a Pappardelle & Mushrooms for dinner. The service from our waiter was great. My friends really enjoyed their drink. Mine was alright. The deviled eggs were interesting. They were topped with fried chicken and a maple syrup glaze. I was a big fan of the fried chicken and maple syrup portion. I haven't had oysters in over 5 years so I was educated on the best way to eat these by friends. The oysters were served with cocktail sauce, hot sauce, crackers, and a pepper sauce on the side. We had four oysters each. Two of the oysters had cocktail sauce and hot sauce on top, which made it quite good. The oyster without any sauces on top was pretty salty for me. The oyster with the pepper sauce was interesting; it wasn't spicy by any means. The pappardelle & mushrooms was quite small in terms of quantity. It was very flavorful and the 3 different kinds of mushrooms (choice mushrooms picked by the chef) present in the dish were quite tasty. They definitely gave a hint of an umami profile. I recommend you stop by and give this place a try.

It's a cute little neighborhood Gem nearby River Oaks area. Love how they have patio seating which is pet friendly. Very friendly service. Walk in welcome. They have very good gulf coast oyster and salad. I will go back to try their brunch items next time ..

Dang this place is amazing, I can't believe how many times I passed it without knowing the wonders that await inside. The interior is so classy and beautiful, not stuffy or formal but casually fancy nonetheless. The seating is comfortable and plentiful, I sat both inside and outside on the patio for hours and was very happy in both. It started pouring rain while I was on the patio and it was totally covered from the rain and such a nice experience to dine outside while it rains. The ambience is casual enough to chill on your laptop and get work done but also nice enough to take someone on a date or have a celebratory meal at. The service was also great. From the hostess to the bartender, server and bussers, everyone was so professional and helpful. The waitress I had kept her eye on me throughout and even after my meal and the server assistants were lightning fast with water refills or removing used dishes. The food and drink situation is stupendous, this is THE PLACE to have drinks during the day because all their lovely cocktails are 50% all day until 5:30! You're getting a very high quality cocktail for like $7. Outstanding. I got the rose spritzer and it was delish, refreshing, pretty and not overly sweet. The prices are more than reasonable, I got amazing rich butternut squash soup for $6 and a literal BUCKET of fries with ketchup and yummy garlic aioli on the side for fiiiive dollars. One thing of fries will literally give 6 people an ample amount of fries. The fried mozzarella was also soooo good too and easy to eat in little balls. I finished my meal with a latte which was $4.50 and leagues better than a $8 latte I had the day before. They have plant based milk alternatives which is always appreciated! I would totally recommend this place and I'll be back for certain.

salmon salad was not good. dressing was very tart. salmon was practically tasteless. Asked if they had table bread. I usually don't ask but was starving and needed something to drown the tart/lemony dressing. What I got was soggy sandwich bread soaked in oil with grill marks. Service was dismissive except at the end when she remembered her tip is at stake. Safe to say I won't be going back. 2 stars are for the ambiance.

The food was ok. I had the eggs your way and everything was ok. The bacon was pretty good and the deviled eggs were pretty delicious. My boyfriend loved the pancakes though. The service was fine, nothing special. The waiter took our order of pancakes back to make some without fruit on top and another waiter brought a fresh stack, that still had fruit. The overall ambiance was casual, but it was surprisingly noisy.

I had really high hopes for brunch and was very disappointed. It started out great with 3 different waitstaff attending to us. We had the deviled eggs, which were delicious along with a mimosa and a Paloma. We finished our cocktails and it was as if we were invisible bc we could not hear single server to stop by and offer us another beverage. I had to get up and grab a drink menu from the hostess then flag down a server. We had put in our main better order and approximately 7-8 min later, the server informed me that they did not have the smoked salmon. So, I went with the cheeseburger which was huge mistake. It was very dry and had zero flavor. I may try again bc the place was cute and there were some great items on the menu. Not sure why our service was bad, as they were not busy.

Dined in on a Sunday at 12:30 pm with a party of 5, and was seated immediately. We ordered: Rose spritz: so good and light flavors Tomato gazspacho: I only ordered this because they didn't have tomato basil that day. I needed this for my grilled cheese sandwich. It didn't go too well together since the gazspacho is cold. Deviled eggs: the fried chicken on top is so good! Tastes just like chick fil a but better! Chicken and waffles: chicken was battered nicely and good flavors Smoked salmon plate: this was just ok Grilled cheese: SO GOOD. Would be better if it came with tomato basil soup. Porchetta melt: my friends liked this a lot but it was a bit much for me. I'm not big on roast pork.

A very amateurish dining experience. Not a professional to be found. 1) appetizer #1 (salmon tartre) was salted enough to well preserve a dozen dull grown adult corpses. Absolutely inedible and extremely unhealthy. 2) appetizer #2 (procuito melon and buratta) a whole tablespoon of buratta that I almost missed. Canneloupe with partial rind still attached (not an accident) that was hard, unripe and more taseless than cardboard. And to finish........a wildly bizarre side ramekin of dry bread crumbs.....a major failure of a plate. Add to that a waiter that disappeared after taking our order and never brought the iced tea i ordered...the valet that took my car, but left when 9pm arrived without any explaination of where my car key was....much better options can be found. Avoid like the plague!!!

This is one of our favorite places in the area. The food is always delicious and fresh. Some of our favorites are the pappardelle and mushroom pasta, the salmon, and the fried okra. Also don't pass up the carrot cake! The service is always so great and friendly. Definitely check this place out!

I love Relish Restaurant & Bar. Their menu is so diverse with so many appealing suggestions. One of my favorites is the Salmon Citrus Salad with Champagne Dressing. It's a nice size bowl filled with organic mixed salad greens, grilled salmon, almonds, cranberries, thin cucumber slices, orange supreme segments, and grapefruit segments. It simply is delicious!!! My Mom ordered the Grilled Brie, Sliced Pear and blackberry jam on grilled sourdough. Wow I tasted a bite and it was so good too. It came with a side and Mom chose fresh fruit. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. You can eat outside on their patio or inside.

STAFF great but the crab cake had so many shells in it was uneatable. Alot of food on web site is not available at dinner even though said it was.

Cute lunch spot! My friend and I had a nice lunch here on a Monday. We split an apple salad and a Porchetta Melt. They were both large portions! The apple salad was very refreshing and the Porchetta Melt was very savory and flavorful. The side potato salad hit the spot. For drinks, I had the lavender sour and my friend had a gin & tonic. The lavender sour had a nice sweet/sour combo and they made a killer gin & tonic! Our waitress was very attentive as well. Would return to this beautiful restaurant.
