Succulent Fine Dining

Such a beautiful, refreshing spot inside and out. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by succulents and greenery that give the whole place this calm, airy feel. Even the outdoor rooftop space is gorgeous, with cozy seating, soft shade from the umbrellas and greenery climbing everywhere you look. It’s the kind of place where you instantly want to stay a little longer. There’s plenty of room for larger groups and the rooftop area is a total standout. They have two greenhouses up top, each with fans and it honestly feels like the dream setup for a birthday brunch with the girls — mimosas, sunshine and the cutest views. They serve espresso and if you like your drinks lightly sweet, you can ask for maple syrup since they don’t carry flavored syrups. The whole restaurant is spotless, beautifully designed and the service was genuinely great. Brunch has a fun Baja California twist that makes the menu feel fresh and different and if you want a little behind-the-scenes action, they even offer a table by the kitchen so you can watch the food come to life while you eat. Overall, such a stunning place perfect for brunch, celebrations, or honestly just treating yourself to a pretty afternoon.

This was our first time to dine at Succulent and it was overall a very good experience. We were greeted immediately by a friendly hostess and our server, Cassandra. Service during the meal was very attentive, with unexpected nice touches like pulling out the chair for me to sit, directing my attention to some staff favorites on the large wine list (there is a sommelier), and even personally guiding me to the bathroom. Bread service was a plate of delicious Parker House Rolls with butter drizzled with herb infused olive oil which was a beautiful green. We ordered the artichoke spinach dip with crab as an appetizer and one of us ordered the chicken liver mousse starter as their main course. Both were flavorful and with creative details. Others ordered the Farmer's Market salad (toasted hemp seeds were a nice touch) and Caesar salad. I had a nice glass of pinot noir from Santa Barbara. For the main courses, we had short ribs and two orders of the Atlantic cod with beurre blanc. Both of these were average. IMO the beurre blanc sauce was too thick, and unfortunately, the cod was over cooked on both plates. Flavors were good, though. The highlight of the meal was the dessert. We shared the trio- panna cotta, creme bruleé, chocolate mousse. This was perfect- fresh, creamy, and best of all not overly sweetened- just perfect and highly recommended. The ambiance is definitely Californian, with warm and natural decor. There's even a dining room with a nicely done wall full of wine bottles and large walk-in wine cooler down another hall. We really enjoyed our meal and will give it another try soon.

What a beautiful establishment. This was my first time here, and in the area. One of my community partners fly to Houston once a week, and she is more up to date on the city I've lived in all my life. This establishment gives a romantic vibe yet you can have a girls date night as well. Typically the weather isn't conducive for the amazing upstairs area overlooking the green courtyard, but this night was perfect. There are other establishments to try. Parking: If you can't find any parking along the courtyard they do have a parking garage for $15.99. I did drive around a few times to see if someone was leaving, but it's one way in and one way out. Just go to the garage if you are anything like me and traffic sends you up the wall! Atmosphere: Picturesque and romantic. The lighting, the ambiance, it's a vibe. Suitable for business dining, date night, girls tea, etc. Put on your business casual or appropriate date night attire. While it's not stuffy, it's also not a turn-up establishment. Food: Culinary creativity at it's core. The plating, the presentation of food items, and the menu variety were all indicative of its name. The drink menu is more extensive than the food menu....We ordered Spinach and Artichoke Dip to share and the Crab Wontons that were topped with Caviar. Entrees were 1/2 Roasted Chicken and Short Rib. All of the food was very good. Im definitely going back to try the Cod and Steelhead. Ohhhh wait, the complimentary bread is the best I've had to date. I neglected to ask about the butter topped with green oil. It was amazing. Service: Our waitress was attentive and not overbearing at all, we even were graced with a visit from Matthew (manager). He took time to hold a brief conversation with us. Overall it was a beautiful night under the Houston sky with 2 amazing women. Thank you Succulent Fine Dining. I will visit again.

This restaurant's ambiance is exceptionally beautiful, with a decor that perfectly complements its theme. The abundance of succulents and the soothing green hues create a lovely setting. I regret not recalling the name of our server, an Asian young lady who provided exceptional service, thoroughly explaining every aspect of the menu, from the food to the drinks, with a special emphasis on her favorite part. Although the food was tasty, it slightly lacked flavor. Unfortunately, the braised beef was overcooked, resulting in a mushy and textureless consistency, which was disappointing given my initial enthusiasm. Typically, I use the fork test to ensure optimal tenderness, but this proved challenging due to the beef's overcooking. While the dish did not meet expectations, it did exhibit some flavor. Conversely, the maple brown butternut squash agnolotti was exquisite, with perfectly cooked pasta and filling, accompanied by a delectable sauce that beautifully complemented the dish. The bread was delicious, especially, the butter. The light bites were impressive, with the deviled eggs and Ahi Tuna Wonton showcasing great flavor, although the latter left a lingering aftertaste. Overall, the experience was remarkable, thanks in large part to our waitress's outstanding service.

I had an amazing time at Succulent Fine Dining! The service was exceptional, and we were fortunate to have a view into the kitchen, which added to the experience. We started with appetizers like the deviled eggs, crab cake, and pork belly, all of which were delicious. For dinner, we shared the lamb chops and the sesame-crusted Ahi tuna, and everything was absolutely amazing. Our server, Blessing, truly made our visit special. The atmosphere was perfect, enhancing our overall dining experience. I will definitely be returning!

We hosted a baby shower here for a small group of about 20 people here today. Our servers, Aston and Cindy, were phenomenal. They went above and beyond, provided attentive, professional service throughout. Also helped us with setup, clean up , and making sure every detail was just right. Their friendliness and genuine care made such a difference. I can’t say enough good things about the two of them! While the menu isn’t extensive, every item I tried was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Overall, we had a fantastic experience here!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Succulent, and it’s safe to say the experience lived up to the name in every possible way. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the stunning interior—elegantly decorated with real succulents throughout, creating a natural, serene ambiance that perfectly balances sophistication with comfort. But while the atmosphere is captivating, the real star of the evening was the chicken liver mousse. This dish absolutely stole the spotlight. It arrived beautifully presented, with a delightfully crispy exterior that gave way to an unbelievably smooth, rich texture inside. The flavor was perfectly balanced—bold yet refined, with just the right touch of seasoning. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional staff. Every team member we encountered was warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful. They made us feel welcome without ever being overbearing. We were especially impressed by their knowledge of the wine list—they offered thoughtful recommendations that paired beautifully with our meal, enhancing each dish in unexpected ways. Succulent isn’t just a meal—it’s a culinary experience that surprises and delights from start to finish. We’ll definitely be returning.

We recently hosted my client’s Birthday Garden Brunch at Succulent Fine Dining, and it could not have been more perfect! From the moment they arrived, the Birthday Girl was greeted with the Garden Spritz, the atmosphere set the tone for the beautiful garden vibe she envisioned. We began our celebration in the elegant Russian River Room downstairs, then moved upstairs to one of the charming greenhouses to sing happy birthday and enjoy cake. Shawn curated a beautiful pre-set menu for our larger group, and the service was flawless from manager Matthew’s warm welcome to our server Kenneth’s attentive care and Cookie's exceptional cocktails. Highly recommend Succulent Fine Dining for anyone wanting a unique, and beautiful dining experience in Houston.

Absolutely loved the vibe here! The space is filled with plants and fun decor that are somehow both playful and elegant at the same time. The staff was friendly and super accommodating of my nut allergy. And the food was delicious! Hamachi: 10/10 This dish was a standout. The fish was incredibly tender and fresh, and the sauce had a lovely light sweetness that paired beautifully with the pickled veggies. So balanced and refreshing! Avocado Toast: 10/10 I'm usually not a fan of avocado toast with big slices, but this one changed my mind. The avocado was perfectly ripe, and paired with the cheese, pickled onion, and chili crunch, every bite was perfection. The croissant bread was buttery, flaky, and just top notch. Total heaven XO Deviled Eggs: 9/10 Really flavorful and satisfying. My only wish? A bit more caviar. It added so much to the flavor and I would've loved a little extra. Whole Cauliflower: 9/10 I couldn't try this one due to my allergy, but my mom loved it, especially the sauce. Her only critique was that it was served whole and not precut, which made it a bit hard to manage. Overall, this place is great! The atmosphere and food were perfection. I'd absolutely come back again!

First and foremost, I want to say that the service here is impeccable. Our waitress was so attentive made sure our glasses were filled. We had the cocktails that we wanted, and when there was a delay in our food, she made sure to keep us up-to-date and let us know What the timeline is for our entrée to be served. So shout out to our waitress I unfortunately don't remember her name, but she definitely left a positive experience for us. We booked a table in advance for a birthday party, and I was so impressed with the decorations that they did on the table with flowers that were grown at the restaurant and the aesthetic of the restaurant plus the decor of the table. Just put the dinner altogether. All that being said when it came to the food and drinks I felt like the aesthetic only took us so far. I love the concept that a lot of the items that they serve are homegrown. I love that you can go and see some of the things that they are growing. But I just don't think it's worth the price and the portion size. My favorite part of the entire night were the fresh rolls that they served us with the butter. It was nice and crunchy on the outside, but so soft on the inside with this butter, dipping sauce that they had given us. I also really enjoyed my carrot gnocchi, the sauce was a pesto made out of peas, and I am someone who does not like peas and was not warned about the peas, but thought the dish was delicious. The chicken was so flavorful seasoning was perfect juicy but it needed a sauce to eat it with, especially being served with the ravioli. The short rib felt short for us. We felt like for how much it cost. We didn't get a good portion of the short red. And the side that it was served with also was just measly for quarters of a potato. As for the cocktails, I thought they were yummy, but they definitely did not pack a punch. I felt like I was drinking lemon juice with the simple syrup more than I was a gin with lemon juice and simple syrup. I'm happy I got to experience this restaurant for everything that it was I unfortunately just don't think I would frequent this place again. Where it fell short for me, was the lack of vegetarian options available. They had one veggie appetizer and one vegetarian entrée, and that was about it. And the vegetarian appetizer was cauliflower and I feel like at restaurants that's always kind of a cop out option.

I had heard mix opinions on this place so tried it out on a Sunday. As of now, they do not have valet so you have to park in the parking garage and walk a little bit (not a big deal but with this heat...). The restaurant has a cute vibe, very plant/woody aesthetic. The place can get a bit loud from the crowd. Food: Was a bit worried about having cinnamon rolls for appetizers, but it's a great choice. They were warm, delicious, and not extremely heavy. We each had one and were perfectly content. Crispy Chicken Tacos were my main, and they were delicious. The tortilla held very well throughout my lunch, the potatoes perfectly seasoned. Service: Had no issues with this. Food came out in a timely manner (even though they were full) and our server was great. They don't have the biggest menu, so would definitely look at it before hand. I will gladly come back here!

The restaurant is very beautiful. The green atmosphere puts you at ease. Service and food were above par. Menu is very open with lots of food flavors. The only bad part is parking no valet means parking a block and a half away

Hit up restaurant week with friends. The deviled egg wasn't bad. The chowder was good. The carrot gnocchi were my favorite of the meals we tried. The service was attentive and fairly quick considering the dining room was almost full. Honestly the biggest issue was how on top of you everyone is. Where we were sat was in a main walk I feel and I felt in the way at my own seat. Beautiful decor though.

Succulent is one of Houston's newest farm-to-table additions, and with even just a month in, they're showing a lot of potential. Again, I'm hard to please so keep that at the forefront as you read this. The space is gorgeous, from the chic bar area to the well decorated dining room and the spacious upstairs patio. The ambiance alone is worth the visit. There were a few too many tables in the dining area which made it feel a bit cluttered but again, they are working through their first month. We originally sat on the patio, but the Houston humidity (and incoming monsoon) quickly convinced us to wait for a high-top table at the bar. Even though we were about an hour past our reservation time at that point, the staff remained kind and accommodating, which we really appreciated. The menu isn't overly extensive, true to its farm-to-table nature, but still had a few enticing options. I went with the shrimp and lobster tostadas, which was flavorful and well-balanced. My friend had the steak and eggs, and we shared a side of fries. We also tried to order the cinnamon roll, but unfortunately, our waiter forgot to put it in. By the time we reminded him, they were sold out, and no apology was offered, which was disappointing. That said, once the bartenders took over our service, the experience really picked up. They were attentive, personable, and even offered my friend a complimentary drink because they had accidentally made an extra. That gesture stood out in a great way. To wrap things up, we shared the lemon cake with some green tea. We ended up spending nearly 3 hours there, and it was time well spent. Succulent is clearly still ironing out a few service hiccups, but the food, vibe, and overall experience make it worth a visit. I'll definitely be back once they hit their stride! P.S: Street parking is available if you don't want to use the garage.

Came here for brunch with 4 other girlfriends about a week after they opened. Reservations were easy to make online. There is free 2 hour parking in the garage. We had a late brunch, around 2pm, so I was very surprised to find this place packed. The ambiance is great, the restaurant is bright and airy with cute decor, and the room wasn't overly too loud. For appetizers we shared the deviled eggs (5/5 delicious), lemon ricotta cake (4/5 light and not too sweet), and the baja shrimp campechana (4/5- fresh). Can't forget the bread - that was soo good. For my main course I got the hanger steak and eggs (5/5) - cooked made to order and the steak was very flavorful and tender. After our meal we got a tour of their rooftop which was super cute and spacious but hot. It would be a great dining option during non summer months. Service was ok, it wasn't the speediest as they had just opened and I'm sure they need to work out some kinks. But everyone was super nice and welcoming. I can't wait to come back and try out their dinner menu.

Okay so this place is adorable!!!! Perfect for a girls lunch ! So we came during happy hour, and we got a few drinks and a few apps. Fries were great. Parking is garage free 2 hours if you dine in the restaurant. Shrimp was fresh with avocado for a quick snack We came to check the vibes out.the vibe check was 10/10. If you want to ask your bridesmaids to be your bridesmaids, come here and do lunch Bathrooms are separate.

Another reviewer said it well: it's very slow but with the wait. Loved the decor! It's a beautiful place and the rooftop will be amazing when the weather is nice. Food overall was great. We got some things family style for HRW so I was able to try a lot: - bread is perfection! Love the pesto sauce - deviled egg: I would come back just for this - beet salad: small but very good with yellow beets and a delightful dressing - market greens: flavorful green salad with radish and an amazing cheese - trout was excellent and I'd order it again - carrot gnocchi was my favorite entree - Louie salad had excellent seasoning and dressing - this spot knows their dressings! - chocolate terrine: delicious like a mousse and worth the calories - peaches and gelato: great refreshing bite - mango dessert: not worth the calories, cake was hard and had little flavor - garden spritz: refreshing and served in beautiful painted glasses, the herbs are aromatic and grown onsite Overall I really liked it and would order most things again. The concept is fresh and a great addition for Houston. Service was ok. May be better for small groups/couples. HRW menu is thorough and an economic way to try lots of things. Opportunities: they really aren't ready for large groups. We were there literally 4 hours and constantly waiting on courses. There was some confusion and miscommunication with the kitchen. The parking is validated for 2 hours so I still paid $11 after the discount. There is only garage parking, no valet.

To start. This restaurant is beautiful. It is so refreshing to patronage a restaurant that is both aesthetically appealing and provides excellent service with optimal and freshly prepared food. My friend, and I decided we would try out brunch on memorial day since we both happened to be off. My friend was very, very delinquent. Lol, so I had time to take in the beauty of the restaurant. Upon my late party eventually arriving our waiter promptly returned to our table to get our orders. I wish I could recall his name. He was wonderful, and very, very helpful. I really appreciated the fact that if he didn't know something, he was able to find a colleague quickly to assist. So very, very resourceful, overall. I really, really enjoyed my food & beverages. I tried the baja shrimp campenada, it was as if they went into the gulf plucked the shrimp out, prepared it freshly ocean to table perfection! very refreshing light bite I had as I waited for my party to arrive. Additionally, we tried drinks. I have recently become a carjillo girlie, and this has been one of the best carjillos I've had. It was smooth, crisp with the notes appropriately and evenly connected within the beverage perfection. My friend tried the red sangria, it was a orange color due to the fruit blend that i believed included peach. My friend said it was one of the best sangrias shes had. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed, especially with them only having been open for a week, great service & food. Also I just cannot overstate how beautiful the restaurant is. It's called succulent, and it's literally covered and decorated in the succulents if you happen to get a seat towards the back bar, those succulents that are so cutely placed in shaved wine bottles are actually real succulents. They also have a second floor with a huge patio, beautiful views pretty aesthetic. Definitely, I'm excited to come back and try this place for dinner and also on a cooler day try out their patio with the view. I give this place a 10/10 for food service and aesthetic. They have definitely set the standard.

This was a nice dining experience with succulents everywhere. The theme is based on the abundant succulents in California. The waitstaff was amazing, but the menu wasn't to my personal taste buds but my party enjoyed it.

The decor and vibe are simply gorgeous. The service was attentive to the point that plates were removed before some were finished with their dishes. We did appreciate the attempt at synchronized presentation. There were a few understandable snafus with our order which we let slide since the place is new. Important TIPS: 1. If you use more than one credit card, even if it is an even split, you will be charged a fee of $2 per split. 2. There is a delicious complementary sour dough bowl offered to the table only if you request it. Make sure you do so.

This place is new and cute. Brought to you by the same people who own A'BOUZY. Sunday morning it was hectic for brunch. They are working out the kinks. Service was good, but it was SLOW. I would go back later in the year. No valet, but they do validate parking for the garage with a QR code for 2 hours. Unfortunately, I still had to pay for parking because we were well over the 2 hours due to the slow service.

Tried out their 2025 Houston Restaurant Week offerings! We chose this place because we saw a good amount of the original menu was featured on the HRW menu which is a great way to taste test through their offerings. Their farm to table concept is really fresh and flavors were great overall. Winners were the pork belly, beef tartare, organic beets, corn chowder, meatloaf, triangoli, and both of the dessert options! Ice cream was slightly melted but still had great flavor. Honorable mention for the complimentary parker house rolls + herb butter prior to our meal. Joyce was a great server and explained everything in detail. The inside is pretty but quite loud for a weeknight dinner, and often times, I couldn't hear the person across the table. Glad we could stop by during HRW!

Cute place Great service Love the decor Food was delish Easy to park A breathe of fresh air

I really enjoyed my time here! The venue is stunning the name doesn't do it justice. It's a succulent safari! The bathrooms were also very nice and clean. I was there for a birthday party and had the beet salad, which was fabulous (turns out beets can be other colors besides red!). The deviled eggs were phenomenal, the meatloaf was incredibly flavorful, and the dessert was a decadent surprise. Service was great I felt very well taken care of.

Went on a Monday evening and to celebrate a dear friends birthday. It was such a delicately curated place. Full of light and plants. The food definitely fresh and tasty. The drink options unique. And the staff made us feel like we were the only ones there. The chicken and ravioli dish we had was absolutely delicate and well thought out. I had a good and strong Prickly pear Mezcal drink and only needed that and water. The farmers market salad was so good. The rainbow carrots and radishes used were crisp and topped with the most perfect vinaigrette! The deviled eggs topped with caviar was top notch. I would do a very feminine gathering to brunch here and enjoy some friendly company!

We had a nice dinner at Succulent; I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was really pretty; service was good; and the food was good. Here's what we tried: -Bread service: You have to ask for this complimentary bread service. For being free, it was good, but I wouldn't get it if you had to pay for it. -Chicken liver mousse: This appetizer was not your typical chicken liver mousse--the mousse is in a small pastry shell, and it was very tasty. -Roasted chicken: I took bites of my friends' entrees, and mine was the best. The chicken itself was perfectly cooked, and the little pasta triangles of Italian sausage that came with the chicken were great. While the food was fine, we decided to opt out of dessert and went to Flower and Cream for ice cream across the street, which I loved.

I had the most incredible brunch experience yesterday at Succulent Fine Dining in River Oaks. Inspired by Napa Valley, this restaurant checks all the boxes from attentive service to deliciously creative bites to divine atmosphere. If you live in the Houston area or have an opportunity to visit, don't miss this one!

This place looked great on social media but was so disappointing in real life. I went with a group of 4 and we all walked away in agreement we wouldn't return or recommend to others. To start, the dinner entree menu online is very different from the menu at the restaurant. A few of us ordered the roasted chicken, and the waiter came back and said they ran out. Next we ordered the filet instead, waiter came back and said they were out of that too. Our reservation was for 7:30 pm on a Saturday night... kind of odd to be totally out of 2 of the 9 entrees on your menu during peak dinner hours. We got the pork chop and shrimp louie instead. The pork and shrimp were both overcooked, not to mention the shrimp louie came with only 5 very small shrimp. My friend got the carrot gnocchi and said it was just ok. For appetizers we had the hamachi and the charcuterie board. The hamachi had little flavor and the charcuterie had 4 small pieces of meat and was mostly thinly sliced veggies. Neither were great. None of the food we had was worth the price. The service was just ok- we gave our waiter grace seeing how they just recently opened. He did however make us feel rushed. The best part was the ambience and decor, however in Houston there are just too many good restaurants to go to instead.

A great food experience. Joy was our waitress and she was excellent! and just so delightful !!!! This Restautant has been in business for four months. You will know why it is called Succulent since the whole front glass wall is covered with succulents growing in bottles. A great experience and we will be back !

Friends and I were excited to check out this beautiful new restaurant. The presentation of the food was as stunning as the surroundings but it lacked any depth of flavor or soul. I was there with 4 friends who travel frequently and have been blessed to dine at many extraordinary places. Between us we had 16 courses. We all agreed that the deviled eggs and carrot gnocchi were good. Nothing we ate was bad but nothing was great. With all of the culinary choices in Houston, good is not enough-- particularly at that price point. My favorite part of the meal was the Margarita. It was flawless! Likely the best Margarita in town (sorry, Hugo). Perfectly balanced and clean.

Great food and service. I recommend the smoked salmon and their pinot gris. This was during the happy hour, oh yes, the happy hour has fo-ur do-llar wine and great cocktails. It was my first time here and I'm very satisfied. Free parking right outside and a nice area with the multi-purpose space. The decoration and atmosphere is very pleasant in a low key sophisticated way. Not too crowded on a Monday afternoon, naturally, which to me, makes it even nicer. Great wine selection, although I would personally prefer more Italian choices. Good music not too loud playing, great 90s and 2000s hits. I will be coming back.

A not to be missed! The ambience- PERFECT! The food - INCREDIBLE! The service - SPOT ON! We had some people with food allergies and they were very accommodating! Do yourself a favor and go!

This place is far from fine dining. While the interior is nicely designed, everything else about our experience was disappointing and uncomfortable. We ordered one of the flatbreads, only to find an ant on it. When we informed the waiter, he took it back and returned with a new one, saying it was probably from the garden. Does that mean they don't wash their ingredients? To make matters worse, we noticed a group of managers sitting at a table nearby one of them openly vaping indoors and drinking from a 7-Eleven Big Gulp cup. I've never been to a restaurant where vaping inside was acceptable, especially by the staff. When the bill arrived, we were surprised to see that the flatbread with the ant wasn't comped, so I brought it up with a manager. The food overall was subpar, and communication with the staff was difficult, as most barely spoke English. This was a frustrating and bizarre dining experience. Save yourself the time and money don't bother coming here.

Here is a rewritten version of your narrative, revised to a 12th-grade reading level with clear, active voice and a polished, professional tone: My experience at Succulent after dinner was mixed. I really liked the location--it's convenient and has a warm, stylish atmosphere. The food was very good and clearly prepared with care. That said, the service left a lot to be desired. From the moment we arrived, the staff seemed unprofessional. The hostess didn't make much of an impression and came across more like a distracted high school student than someone working at a high-end restaurant. The main issue, though, was with our waiter. His timing felt rushed and intrusive. We had just been seated when he approached, asking if we were ready to order appetizers and drinks. Drinks, sure--but we hadn't even looked at the menu yet. Later, he returned twice in a short span to ask if we were ready to order entrées, even though we clearly hadn't finished the first course. At one point, he tried to clear my guest's plate while he was still eating. For a restaurant that positions itself at this level, the service didn't match the price point. With nearby options like the Marigold Club or Georgia James offering a more refined experience, it's hard to justify coming back to Succulent any time soon.

Prior to my visit, I was a bit surprised to see a new, higher end "fine dining" restaurant have such a low rating on Yelp. After eating there, I get it! Went for the chef's table. Decor was fantastic. The table was done up beautifully. Service was attentive. Food, so-so. It us, the Chef's table menu seems to be one where they thought that providing small servings of 'stuff' is the way to go. There seemed to be very little effort put into the utilization of ingredients used, and the actual presentation on the plate. Cutesy presentation does not translate into good/tasty food. And even in the plating, the presentation was shoddy - the meat cuts were haphazard, the way they were laid out on the plates were amateurish. Such a shame to do that to quality ingredients. The biggest disappointment was the dessert - it was literally a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some small, chopped up cubes of fruit sprinkled on top. No sauce, no decoration, no other flavor. Not sure how they expect to charge the prices they do and serve this kind of fare. The price of their chef's table was just a little shy of the cost of the tasting menu at a 1 star Michelin restaurant...... or at least the average Bib Gourmand tasting menu.....and they certainly were not even close.

Underwhelming sums it up. The kind of restaurant every posts on Instagram fawning over the decor and pretty things throughout the place. But if your not into that kind of thing and you go out to a restaurant expecting good cocktails and tasty food...well -despite the name, our group did not find anything truly succulent. Nothing was bad or had to be sent back, but most of what we ordered (apps/drinks/entrees/dessert) was forgettable.

Server was knowledgeable and the wines were great. Most importantly, the ambiance was amazing! Coming back to try lunch next time. Beautiful restaurant with cute succulents and fresh herbs. Appreciate the little touches throughout the restaurant. Much needed in Houston. Love the pani puri chicken liver mousse and the onion Tart. Beef tartar was nothing like I've ever had with a sweet and savory crunch. Refreshing in its own way. Scallops very delicate in a brown butter dashi broth. Great for a lighter dish.

Upon my first visit to Succulent... The bartenders downstairs, Kobe and Pablo, were fantastic. They made fantastic cocktails and were well versed in beverages. Had the deviled eggs and steak tartare. They were okay. Overall, the music subdued the experience... It was very dated and didn't reflect the culture and the neighborhood it's serving. It made the atmosphere very sleeping. Dining here should be an experience and the music certainly took it away from getting a secured second visit.

Devyn was the bomb! He was so attentive to my friend and I's needs and made great suggestions for dining and wine. The ambience here is incredible. ALL OF THE PLANTS ARE REAL! So great energy in here overall! Matthew was also checking in on us throughout our visit. It really felt like the staff cared and wanted to make sure we were taken care of. Also, the FOOD - 10/10 - NO NOTES! We went for happy hour! Everything was so reasonable and tasty. My favorite item on the happy hour menu was the Deviled Eggs and the Flatbread. Succulent is a must try. Check them out and ask for Devyn!

A group of 7 absolutely enjoyed everything at Succulent. Brennen was our server and was absolutely a gem. We loved hearing about the menu, mimosas with fresh juice, the ambiance and Chef David's food. Excellent service, beautiful design and brunch menu.

Interesting place. We went for the Restaurant Week menu and weren't disappointed. The food was good, but the service was rushed and haphazard. Add to that the restaurant living up to its name continues to water their array of plants while diners are eating, so my wife would get the occasional mist of water while we were eating. Parking consists of a public pay garage located aways from the restaurant, which was crowded and difficult to find a space. Not a great way to start the evening.

Service was excellent. Ambience is amazing. The restaurant is so pretty. Tuna sandwich is ok. Love appetizers

The most beautiful and detailed oriented newest restaurant in Houston! The service was out of this world, they explained everything and had great recommendations and manners. The drinks were delicious and the food was very fresh. They use herbs that they grow on the restaurant and it is a Napa Valley inspired restaurant. My experience was 10/10 and I will recommend it! Perfect for a date night or girls night out. You can scan for free 2 hr parking when you park in the garage.

Tried out this place on Memorial Day for brunch-the food, the ambiance & the service were all amazing especially considering the restaurant has not been open long. The place is beautiful. My only suggestion/complaint is the cocktails state on the menu "all our cocktails are batched" & if I'm paying $$$ for cocktails I'd prefer a freshly made one but we will definitely be back & just order call drinks instead.

The ambiance and décor were lovely, but what really impressed me was the manager and chef's flexibility. I called ahead about a vegan meal, and the manager assured me they'd create something worth it and they did, they served me a plate that included a hearty side salad, potato casserole, and rice. It was so good that even my non-vegan friends loved it. Great service and a thoughtful experience! I really hope they put that dish in the menu! :)

Keep it simple... 1. Food was great. 2. Slowest service in Houston. You will be there for at least 2+ Hrs. 3. Outdoor patio is nice , liked the vibe.

I really enjoyed this place! Went for a celebration and had a wonderful experience. Great patio, beautiful setting, kind, sweet staff and delicious food. Highly recommend!

The ambiance here is great for girls brunch, the food was amazing as well as the service with Kevin, he was a great server! I will be coming back for sure, I highly recommend the omelette. Parking is the only downside.

Nice space, but more than a few too many cheesy plastic succulents scattered around. Service was pretty awful on the Tuesday night we went. Slow $14 drinks arrived without the promised additions - gin and tonic without the advertised cucumber and the other gin drink without the advertised basil. Either a new bartender or a server who forgot to add it before delivery? Pretty good appetizers (chicken liver mousse, onion tart and deviled eggs), although they arrived before the cocktails. Pretty good salad (caesar), although they tried to deliver the entrees at the same time. Delicious carrot gnocchi. Great panna cotta and chocolate desserts; mango dessert didn't have enough mango flavor. Automatic 20% tip added on a table for 4?? Will see if they can solve the problems.

Service was great. But the kitchen wasn't being managed and the food was only so so. They need a manager who knows how to run a restaurant.

Food poisoning (Scombroid due to spoiled fish) on my first visit. During a business meeting, our table ordered PAN BAGNAT TUNA. Within 10 min of consuming the Tuna we all started feeling sick. Exhibiting symptoms of Scombroid food poisoning, this is caused by consuming spoiled fish or seafood not stored in proper temperature. Immediately we all experienced these symptoms; tingling and burning sensations around the mouth, facial flushing, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, palpitations, dizziness, and rash. It took me 10 hours to completely flush this out of my system. The management told me it wasn't the food and didn't even gather my information to follow up with me like a normal restaurant would if they saw a client becoming very ill in their place of business. The manager made it seemed like I was interrupting him and was bothered. Wasn't even concerned that 3 people expressed concern of feeling ill all at once after consuming the food. I'm writing this with hope this will never happen to anyone else. I have never been to a restaurant and All 3 individuals have immediate food poisoning. Please report to management if you feel sick after eating any food/seafood from this restaurant.

Dined at the chef's table and 10/10 would recommend! We cannot wait to come back!! The food was excellent, service was great and for this being their second Saturday open, we were quite impressed. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and hands down cannot recommend the chefs table experience enough. It was an incredible experience! David the chef was spot on with each course and Sean the restaurateur was incredibly personable and we even got the pleasure of seeing him jump into the kitchen when things got crazy. Always keeping his cool, telling his team "make sure it's perfect!" As it went across this counter-- book the table-- it is 1000x better than any reality TV show you can find on your TV and sooo worth it! Can't wait to return!

Wanted to like this place because it is so cute on the inside! Unfortunately it was pretty underwhelming for brunch food. The bread was mediocre, the lemon cake tasted good but again, for the price underwhelming, and my omelet had zero flavor. Everyone who worked there was nice - I think this place is just starting out so can only go up from here!

Succulent Fine Dining -- Disappointing Service Overshadows an "Okay" Meal My wife and I visited Succulent Fine Dining last week with high hopes, but unfortunately, we walked away deeply disappointed and have no plans to return. While the food itself was passable--my pork chop was overcooked and dry, likely from sitting too long under a heat lamp--the real issue was the service, which felt dishonest and disorganized at best. From the start, we asked if they had bleu cheese olives for our martinis. We were told they did not, only to have our waiter return and say he "convinced the bar manager" to stuff them for us. That seemed like a nice gesture--until later, when I asked if I should save my olives for the second round and was told it didn't matter because we were being charged for them. This charge wasn't mentioned up front, and it started to feel like an intentional upcharge rather than a courtesy. Things only got worse when the waiter brought a second martini he claimed was mistakenly made for me and would be "tossed" otherwise. I accepted it, only to find it tasted off--like swill from the bottom of a shaker. When I mentioned it, he agreed it didn't look right, yet somehow this drink had still made its way to my table. That just didn't sit right. Later, I ordered a bourbon with a large ice cube. Again, I was surprised to find we were charged for the cube itself. I've never been charged for ice before, and once again, this wasn't disclosed ahead of time. All of this added up to a feeling that we were being nickel-and-dimed through misleading service, with our server seemingly more focused on inflating our bill than providing a quality dining experience. At a place that markets itself as "fine dining," this was especially disappointing. It's not about the money--it's about integrity, attentiveness, and professionalism, none of which were evident during our visit. Succulent Fine Dining has a long way to go before it lives up to its name. -- 1.5 out of 5 stars

Food was a 10/10!! Ambiance is great and service amazing. We will be back. Upstairs patio looked fabulous too!

Great food, excellent service and perfect atmosphere! Great restaurant! They really pay attention to details!
