Eclectic New Restaurant the Nash Will Open in Downtown Houston - Eater Houston

"Called the Nash, the restaurant is set to open its doors inside the Star, known to most Houstonians as the Texaco building, in January 2021. The space will include a floor-to-ceiling bar, open kitchen complete with a pizza oven, and an outdoor patio that makes bringing your dog to happy hour a possibility. The menu at this “American restaurant and bar” was developed by lauded chef Omar Pereney, who formerly served as executive chef at Peska Seafood Culture, among other gigs. Boasting a laid-back vibe, the Nash will serve an eclectic menu of snacks and dishes that he describes in a press release as a “love letter to American food,” along with plates inspired by Pereney’s Venezuelan heritage. Dishes include Korean-style bacon glazed with gochujang barbecue sauce, short rib papardelle in 12-hour ragu, and pizzas topped with proscuitto, bacon, and corn. Tequeños, or bites of dough-wrapped Venezuelan cheese served with an array of dipping sauces, are also on the menu." - Amy McCarthy

Saturday night is slow. GREAT! During the week, Nash is, er, lively. I'd rather not shout across the dining table. But everyone else, post work, is OK with it. Great choice of food. Imaginative. Well executed. Best steak I've had in years. Short but interesting wine list, including bubbly from New Mexico! Friendly yet professional service.

Went here for a business lunch. The portion size was good. I subbed out my asparagus for sauteed spinach and the spinach wasn't overcooked. Red fish was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Not dry. And even the rice was tasty. Will be back to try other options.

Honestly, this is best customer service I think I've ever had in HTX. Grace the hostess was just simply put, lovely and welcoming. She was an absolute pleasure to speak with as she served us. She is a true credit to this institution. The menu, quality and presentation is top notch, and delicious to boot. 20/10 recommend!

The four cheese ravioli is EXCELLENT. We made our entire decision on where to eat based on that menu item and we were not disappointed. I eat out a couple times a week probably and this is the best dish I've had in recent months for sure. Shrimp linguine and the Arod cocktail were also very, very good.

Girl’s night was made special by stopping at The Nash! We didn’t have a reservation, but they fit us in and we are so glad they did! We had no tails, pork belly, Lamb Curry, and scallops. EVERYTHING was delicious!

1st time there. My steak was so flavorful and cook to my liking. The salmon is delicious 😋 too

Came here with a friend I hadn’t seen in 11 years. Everything about the meal was fantastic. The building is beautiful. The Texas Style Tater Tots were amazing, and we both had the Cauliflower Paneer Curry. Easily one of the best paneer curries we both have ever had! Our waitress was delightful and the atmosphere and service was 10/10. Parking in The Star garage down the block was also super easy and convenient. Will absolutely return!

This is a hidden gem. If you are downtown and looking for excellent food and a great atmosphere, this is your place. We sat at the bar with Matt, the bartender. He was extremely helpful and guided us with some food for vegetarians..

This place is truly a hidden gem! The pasta was cooked to perfection--perfectly al dente--and smothered in a rich cheese sauce with tender pieces of short rib. It's an absolute must-try! The mushroom side dish was equally impressive, with a spot-on texture and flavor. As a nice touch, they even provide metal silverware for takeout.

We visited The Nash based on reviews before a show downtown. The place was empty at 6pm on a Saturday but it was nice. Marco was our server and it was great. He gave honest opinions of the dishes and accommodated our needs. We did the pre fixe menu for Houston Restaurant week and it was terrific. $55 dor 4 courses is a steal. My young child also ate and really enjoyed the fish on a half shell. My mother who is a creature of habit and not one to try new places devoured her food faster than I've ever seen. So needless to say this was a hit. We had the Arancini (1st course), Caesar Salad (2nd course - good but a little too much dressing), Fish on a half shell and Blackened Red Snapper (3rd course), tiramisu & Blueberry Bread pudding (4th course - ice cream came out fully melted 2x so didn't eat it) At the end of our meal Marco helped me to bag up our leftovers on ice so it would keep in the car while we went to the show. My only issue is that the bag leaked all over the carpet in the trunk of my car and was soaking wet and now smells terrible. So Marco, your trick didn't completely work like you promised it would but I appreciate the effort. We should have double bagged it :-) Good experience overall and have recommended it to friends and family to try.

I was looking for a place with a good menu variety for a celebratory dinner. Typically we do steaks but I wanted to have some flexibility for the tastebuds and try to find something that served a lot of the things we like. Apps: Coconut Shrimp-I felt they were fried slightly too long because they were pretty dark but the crispness was nice. And the shrimp didn't taste dry even without the sauce. My companion wasn't a fan of the aioli sauce-felt it would have paired better with a traditional sweet and sour but I didn't mind it. Forbidden Eggs - I was intrigued especially when I heard this was one of the popular items. I specifically asked was it like deviled eggs and was told no because it was fried but still runny. But that wasn't the case -it was indeed a boiled eggs with some fry technique but the yolk was just boiled yolk and then had the accoutrements of the sauce and scallions. It was a unique taste but not as flavorful and not the experience I expected after the description. Pork Belly- liked the presentation of lighting seasoning underneath. This was consumed by my companion and he liked it. Dinner We both selected the field & tide. I subbed the pommes for a mushroom risotto because of my nightshade allergy. I think that helped make the plate more filling. The steak is a decent serving and it was cooked a perfect medium. The crab cake tasted slightly salty to me but overall light and enjoyable. The risotto had a pleasant density and I actually savored it for my last bites. Drinks: Foggy Fig -No complaints from my companion but I did notice he didn't drink it as fast as most drinks he tries at dinner. Raspberry & Lemon smash - this was my non alcoholic drink - - of which they have several to choose from - - it was good. I found most of the simple syrup at the bottom which made the last few sips very sweet. Dessert Pecan Pie + ice cream - I liked the rich flavor of the pie. It almost tasted like there was a touch of alcohol inside but I was told there wasn't. The pie crust was soft which I prefer. Ice cream scoop was just large enough to last for the entire piece and didn't take away from the flavor. Bread pudding - received no complaints Service - seems to be a team concept so we had Melina and Griggs both of whom were really pleasant and attentive. They kept our water glasses stocked which is not always a given. We came on a Saturday night and not even half of the restaurant was filled however it did seem that our food took longer than expected. Particularly for the drinks and appetizers. But the entrees came fairly quickly after we finished our apps and dessert came within five minutes of ordering.

Delicious food and friendly service at the bar! The deviled eggs and seafood pasta were so good. My friend tried the Korean appetizer which was also tasty. Host seemed stressed and seating was challenging but everything was uphill and great once we found a spot at the bar where they serve their full menu.

I would not recommend this restaurant if you ego is bruised easily. This was my favorite meal while visiting Houston and it humbled me as a mediocre cook. There wasn't a single thing out of place or distasteful. I had lunch at The Nash about 10 minutes after they opened on a Tuesday. I was the first one there, but it began filling up fast after 11:30am. Corrie was my waitress and she was amazing. She gave me plenty of time to look over the menu and enjoy my meal when the food came. I ordered the short rib pappardelle and the chocolate banana cake. The short rib pappardelle was great. It was cooked perfectly and the short rib was tender and juicy. I was surprised that I ate all of it. I usually stop halfway to leave room for dessert. I've never had a chocolate and banana dessert from a restaurant before. The profile makes sense, but maybe it's a little risky for some. The chocolate banana cake was so good. The softness of the cake, creamy banana sauce, and crunchy nougat pieces combined with the ice cream was an insane bite over and over again. This is one dessert I will remember for a long time. I loved the open concept, even seeing into the kitchen and the wood tables and chairs. It felt airy and welcoming. The open concept also applied to outside the restaurant with its floor-to-ceiling windows. If you're walking by on the sidewalk it's hard not to notice this restaurant and the level of posh it gives off. They have potter greenery on both sides of the corner and it's a standout compared to other businesses in the vicinity.

To start, there is only metered or garage parking ($15). For a place that tries to be "upscale", everything is mediocre. The restaurant had a max of four tables on a Thursday night. The Caesar salad was overdressed and had too much anchovy, the fish (blackened red snapper) and seafood pasta were nicely plate but needed salt and some type of citrus to cut the rich flavors. The ribeye steak was overcooked, the desserts (blueberry banana pudding and tiramisu) tasted store bought. The only tasty thing was the cauliflower "hot" wings but they were swimming in a blue cheese. What a disappointment.

Enjoyed a business lunch at the Nash. I had the redfish with rice, and it was enjoyable. Basic dish with a lemon butter sauce, asparagus, and buttery rice on the side. It was perfect for lunch and didn't leave me feeling overly full. My colleague had the Mediterranean salad, which came with a warm grilled chicken. She enjoyed the dish as well. The restaurant was oddly quiet for lunch, but the service was attentive, and the ambiance was clean and comfortable. I would recommend this for a business lunch in the future. May be a good location for a pre-show dinner as well. There was lots of items on the menu to try; specifically the pappardelle.

Best menu we ate in Houston. The appetizers were outstanding. The toys and bacon are a must try! The Short rib Pasta was next level. I was sad when I was full and could not finish it. The atmosphere and service were both great. Until next time.

This restaurant was really phenomenal! Their cocktails were especially tasty, and they had so many options! The buffalo cauliflower was also delicious, it actually was the first time I enjoyed having blue cheese. I also got to talk to the owners and the chef, and they were all so kind and clearly put in a lot of thought and care into their work. It's also a cute and classy ambiance in the heart of downtown, walking distance to other places and bars.

Came for houston restaurant weeks 2022. Place was pretty empty. I made a resy prior to. I found street parking, it's metored parking during the day, there's also a parking lot up the street. I didn't see valet. Cassie I believe was our server she was attentive. Drink- I had the sunrise or sunset drink. It was good, not too sweet, it had mango brandy in it, which I never had before. Food- first course I had the mushroom toast. I liked the ingredients of it, but toast ended up soggy, should have gotten the yellowtail crudo. 2nd course I got the short rib paperadelle pasta, it was large portion. I wanted more cheese on it. Flavors were subtle, I think it needed more herbs. It had real potential. Last course I had the lemon basil cheesecake. I love cheesecake, it was a bit salty. Couldn't tell if it was salty because of the crust, the cake, or the Carmel sauce? Anyway, overall nice service, spacious place, nice decor. Would have to come back to say and see if the food is good. It was alright this visit.

HRW! The Nash was welcoming and our waitress was on point. First Course with three in our party: Korean BBQ, mushroom toast, and yellowfin tuna. The yellowfin tasted fresh, but there was something missing...elusive...mysterious...incomplete. The Korean BBQ sauce was something out of a dream...the sauce immediately induced more salivating and I knew in that moment that my life might be utterly completely. The kimchi added a delightful burst of spice...but the BBQ sauce was...otherworldly. The mushroom toast had an earthy taste... Wait. I was interrupted by the prompt delivery of our second course so I can't comment on the mushroom toast. Second Course: salmon, cauliflower curry, and braised pork parpadelnfnf(flat fat noodles). (I also realize that my inability to spell that particular noodle decreases my street cred.) The curry flavor was sublime but the naan was chewy and obscenely offensive. The rice was a little gummy. The salmon...oh, my. A perfect blend of awesomely cooked fish and decadent broth. Wow! The braised pork had a great spicy flavor and the noodles were okay...not great...but, okay. The Lemon Basil cheesecake is freaking phenomenal. Y'all: I'm not a dessert person. BRING ME THE ENTIRE CAKE. Overall, I would definitely come back, but I felt incredibly rushed through dinner.

Downtown Houston gem with an NYC feel - this stunning establishment with so much historical architecture, AMAZING tentative staff, and best of all, the food, should be your next dinner spot! We all ordered different entrees, and not one plate was left empty. I had the salmon, and OMG. Super buttery, flaky, and moist (medium well), and the cocktails were on point with flavor and presentation! I'm so happy I spent my birthday here, as Chef Salazar came out several times to make sure our experience was stellar. Highly recommend the Korean beef and calamari as your appetizer as well. Can't wait to go again for Valentine's Day!

Came here for a business dinner, not a ton of people here. Service was quick. Food lacked flavor and was over priced for the quality.

This restaurant is lovely. When we pulled up I was immediately relieved with our choice before seeing The Nutcracker at Wortham. They have a beautiful Christmas tree up, and the decor is very tasteful and relaxing. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Drinks were delicious. I had the Short Rib Pappardelle and my husband had the salmon with mushroom risotto. The Pappardelle was surprisingly spicy and had a very unique flavor. We really enjoyed it. My husband said his salmon was cooked perfectly and we are both ready to go back for more risotto. It was perfection! Everything was hot and fresh. The owner came over after our meal as not to intrude on our date night which was so thoughtful. The story of their menu creation is very interesting. I'll let him tell you when you check it out yourself...We'll certainly be back. Thank you for a very enjoyable dinner. Merry Christmas!

Sat at the bar. Corrie was fantastic. I was just going to order a beer (Crawford Bock and Art Car on tap), but the service was excellent so I decided to stay for dinner. I had the butternut squash soup which was delicious but would have loved to have some bread or crackers to go with it. For my main dish, I had the flat iron steak. Very tender and cooked to perfection. They didn't have the key lime pie so Corrie suggested the Coconut Carajillo. I was worried there would be too much coconut or that it would be too sweet but with the espresso over ice, it was just right. I'm not usually a fan of the high-ceiling downtown scene but Corrie made this one feel like a neighborhood bar. I stayed well past that first beer and will definitely be back. Pro tip: If you like gin, get the Spicy Gimlet.

If I could it I give this restaurant a 0 stars. The Nash used to be one of my favorites restaurants at Houston but now they have a new chef and the food is nasty. My steak tartare was horrible and was waiting an hour and when finally arrived the taste was a vomit and Grace the server is so rude and terrible and seems her every time and her phone. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME IN THE NASH

Fun ambiance, great service, but I had a mediocre food experience. Fried cauliflower was flavorful but undercooked with ingredients not quite proportioned right - cauliflower chunks were too big and the sea of sauce made it less fun. Presentation was good and the flavors were there, I especially liked the batter which had just the right amount of heat. Salad was underwhelming and overdressed and would not recommend adding the chicken.

My family and I were attracted to this restaurant because of Houston Restaurant Week. We looked at the HRW menu online, and it looked intriguing. We made a reservation for 6:00 pm. and arrived at the restaurant. While looking at the HRW menu again, we made some calculators and realized that ordering off the restaurant's main menu was cheaper. In addition, you get more choices. Overall, the service here was excellent, and the food was good as well. If I'm ever in downtown Houston again, I would consider going here. Starters: Beef Tartare - Beef tartare is always a favorite of mine, and this one was one of the best ones I have had. The beef was super high quality and seasoned nicely. Mixed with capers, red onions, celery leaf, whole grain mustard, and a quail egg topped on toast, it's absolute heaven. Out of the three starters we ordered, this was for sure the best one. Yellowfin Tuna Crudo - This crudo wasn't bad, but it didn't surprise me in any way. It's nothing special, but it still tasted decently good. The puffed wild rice gave texture to the dish, and the tuna had a nice bite to it. Even though this dish was good, I feel like they could've been more generous with the black garlic vinaigrette. Korean Bacon - Out of the whole restaurant, this was the dish that attracted us the most. This dish comes with three pieces of pork belly, but only 2/3 were tender, soft, and melted in your mouth. Overall, the portion size of this starter is pretty small, but the flavors of the gochujang barbecue sauce mixed with the pork belly, kimchi, and cucumber in the bao bun was exceptional. Pastas: Short Rib Pappardelle - The cook of the pasta was excellent, and it had a nice bite to it. The short rib was soft and tender, but the dish was lacking in sauce. In addition, there could have been more cheese on top for my liking. The Nash Favorites: The Nash Hot Chicken - I am a sucker for hot chicken, and was super excited to see this on the menu. When first biting into this sandwich, I was disappointed. There was too much bun to chicken ratio, and the chicken wasn't very spicy nor crispy. There also wasn't enough pickles, but the fries were super crispy and crunchy! The whole Brian honey mustard was also very tasty with the fries. Steaks & Chops: Flat Iron - Requested the cook on the flat steak to be medium-rare, and they absolutely nailed the cook on it. However, it wasn't seasoned enough, and the chimichurri on top of the steak sadly couldn't make up to it. On the menu, the dish includes truffle aioli and Parmesan truffle fries, but my family and I couldn't taste any truffle flavor in either. Desserts: Chocolate Banana Cake - The combination of the creamy vanilla gelato, rich chocolate cake, crunchy milk chocolate namelaka, and the caramelized banana was extraordinary. The cake was moist, and I would order this again in a heart beat. I didn't see or taste the banana curd listed on the menu, but it didn't bother me since it still taste good. Brandied Orange Crème Brûlée - Crème brûlées are my absolute favorite dessert, I had to order this! My sister who doesn't like oranges liked this dessert, so that has to say something! It was smooth and silky, with a slight orange and brandy flavor, so delicious! The whipped cream wasn't too sweet, so it had the perfect balance!

Adult Mac & Cheese Short Rib Pappardelle Shrimp Linguini The food is a 10/10. Thursday was a quiet night. Restaurant was almost empty. The service was great. The food was delicious. Everything we tasted was well prepared. Didn't do the Restaurant week menu used the regular menu but was so good.

I'm a fan! This restaurant is located close to my downtown apartment, and I've heard great things about it from my friends as well. I've ordered the shrimp lemon bucatini pasta twice now, and every time, it's packaged well and they are even thoughtful enough to add crushed red pepper and cheese to my to-go order. Their shrimp bucatini pasta is delicious--I ask for no peas, and I love how there's a balance of lighter ingredients like tomatoes and broccoli so the cream sauce isn't too overpowering. Shrimp is also my favorite protein to eat in pasta, so I'm glad I found a restaurant that serves such a well rounded dish. I highly recommend! Service is great, and I would come back again.

We went on a Saturday night. The restaurant was very empty. It was very bright and open. It had lots of windows. The food was average. The Korean bacon was the best thing on the menu. The service was lacking even though we were maybe one of 5 couples in there. The pasta was good but nothing special. My husband did enjoy his steak, but the fries were the best thing on his plate. We would not go here again when we visit downtown.

Very mid and overpriced. We tried the short rib pappardelle which lacked flavor and seasoning. The short rib was the trimmings or leftovers because there was not much substance in your bites. Also tried the Nash hot chicken. They left Nashville down. Not spicy at all. It was just oily. I would recommend adding a cole slaw. I'm sorry but we won't be back. For the price point and mediocre food, not worth it. On a positive note, their French fries are pretty on point.

Can't say enough good things about our experience at the Nash! Very nice aesthetics and design and a really nice interior with fantastic service from attentive and dedicated staff. It wasn't very crowded on a Friday night which was surprising but it should be! We enjoyed the Korean bacon which was finely grilled and perfectly burnt pork belly with tasty bao buns and cucumber/kimchi. The nash hot chicken was legit as good as I've had in Nashville!! It was legit hot and spicy and should not be treated lightly. Can't wait to come back!

I checked out this downtown restaurant with outdoor seating on a Saturday night with two girlfriends. Located downtown in an area that features beautiful architect, The Nash is a new gem. We ordered two rounds of cocktails: the Arod and Prickly Rose. My favorite was the Arod, although both were tasty. For dinner, we ordered the cheeseburger, the salmon, and short-rib pappardelle--cleaned our plates. The portions are normal sized so fills you up and doesn't make you feel excessively full--granted we only did cocktails and entrees. It was a birthday in our friend group so our server brought us a lemon olive oil cake to celebrate! I would never think to order this cake, but it was deliciously different! Juan Carlo was our server and he was very kind and knowledgeable! The owners stopped by our table and thanked us for dining at The Nash. It was a very hospitable touch that added to dinner.

I was in town for work and looking for a nice place for dinner. The Nash is very near to my hotel so I decided to check it out. The restaurant is quite large. There are a lot of tables and nice sized bar. There are several conferences in town, so most places were quite busy. I had a reservation, but chose to sit at the bar to free up a table. The bartender was was very nice and made an excellent old fashioned. Several items caught my eye, so I asked for a recommendation. She said the Pork Shanks Gochujang were her favorite, so I ordered them. The pork shanks were cooked perfectly. The meat was tender and moist. The gochujang bbq sauce had a nice mild heat and really made the pork sing (they should bottle and sell it)! What a wonderful dish. My only complaint is that the mash could have been a little warmer, but the shanks were so amazing, it didn't really bother me. I'll be back in Houston in a few months and I will be back to have the pork shanks again.

Beautiful well lit restaurant. Looked very fancy but they welcomed us with friendly smiles as we walked in with our Astros games attire. We sat at the bar and I had a Basil Hayden Berry Smash that was excellent. The beef tartare was outstanding and plated beautifully. The short rib pappardelle was so wonderful, tender, right amount of sauce to noodle ratio, perfectly cooked pasta. And the bread pudding was so good my husband and I were fighting for the last bite (jk, he's sweet and left me a perfect last bite).

Loved everything about this restaurant, starting with the "Spicy" Gimlet cocktail which I asked NOT be "spicy". Lol - it was perfect! My friend did have spicy and she loved hers as well! Was NOT a fan of the Forbidden eggs, but the Wild Muchroom and Korean Bacon starters were on point! Pan-seared snapper entree for the win! Loved the atmosphere and they now have a room available for private events. Service was excellent as well! If I liked spicier foods, it would get 5 stars but the short-rib pasta dish was too spicy for me to eat. Would still recommend for those who like spicier fare.

During our trip to Houston, we were looking for a restaurant that would host a party of 25 people on Saturday night for dinner. The Nash was the only restaurant we could find and gave us access for free to a party room. The restaurant is located in a great location. The staff was friendly and professional: especially for hosting a big party. Now, let's talk about the actual business - food. We ordered a variety of plates of pasta, salads, burgers, pizza, and appetizers. I did not enjoy the food, and it lacked flavor, freshness, and creativity. The presentation was great, but taste not the best. Also, the food is too pricy for what you get.

I forgot to take a photo of my food before I inhaled it, but the presentation was beautiful and it was delicious. The cocktails were made with care and did not disappoint. The staff was sweet and kind and seemed happy. This is my definitely my favorite of this downtown Houston trip week.

This was a great place to go prior to a show in the theatre district. I had the roast chicken, and it was so tender and juicy with just the right amount of crunchy skin. The veggies served underneath (spinach, mushroom, onion, potato) had great flavor and texture. Husband had the short rib pappardelle which he said was good, but overpriced for what it was. The servers were attentive and the decor was nice. I would return.

The Nash hosted a lunch and happy hour for a company event that I organized. Marco was enthusiastic and incredibly helpful during the planning process. Everything was executed wonderfully by Marco and his staff on the day of the event. The food and drinks were delicious and just what we hoped for. I received lots of positive feedback from my colleagues on the overall experience. I highly recommend you visit The Nash and I look forward to returning at my own leisure.

The Nash is exquisite. My experience was unparalleled. Chef John was extremely welcoming and interacted with guests throughout. The staff is exceptional. Members of The Nash were polished and made me feel at home. Every employee stopped by the table to wish me a Happy Birthday! I will definitely be dining in here again and will recommend this establishment to all who are looking for a fabulous atmosphere and an extraordinary dining experience. -Dominic Tracy

So overall I was disappointed with my experience. The high point was the mussels that I shared with my friends. It was sooooo yummy and flavorful. My salmon and risotto were okay. The other guest had mixed reviews. Everything was either bland or too salty, or not enough flavor. I ordered the spinach but there wasn't enough salt and pepper to season it. I returned it. The service was good but I will not be returning to this establishment. But if you decide to take the risk--- get the mussels.

Hmm. Maybe my visit was a fluke? As I read thru other reviews, I'm puzzled. My experience was very meh. It was cold and there were gnats. The service was sweet and attentive- he was the highlight. Drinks were good but pricey. Tots were spicy, which was nice, but kinda lukewarm. Marg pizza was nothing special. Playlist was nice. I didn't even take pics. I guess I'd give another shot if invited by someone.

This place was awesome. Its fairly new downtown but I loved everything about it. I came her for my friend's birthday dinner. They have a wide selection of drinks and their food is the bomb. It wasn't too crowded and their parking garage is fairly close. I would suggest this place for a girl's night out or even a dinner with your hun. Our waiter was BJ and he did a fantastic job! It's not easy taking care of a table full of bossy women but he held it down. I will definitely come back again. Bianca

We held my son's engagement party last night at The Nash. Deviled Egg, Pork Belly and Tator Tot appetizers were fantastic and the ARod pasta was very tasty. We received nothing but compliments about the food, service and attentive staff. The building is historic and also great for photos. We will be back.

Wonderful new restaurant at the heart of downtown Houston. My friends and I tried the Arod happy hour cocktail which reminded me of a cosmo. Quite tasty and refreshing. The drink is actually spelled backwards and named after the owner's wife Dora. We also had the tator tots and bianco pizza. My sister loved the pizza. I decided to try the burger as my main entree. The beef was excellent quality from 44 farms and the poppyseed bun complimented it nicely. Our friend also enjoyed his chicken pasta dish. The owner said hello and kindly helped us get complimentary valet when my friend accidentally misplaced his ticket. We really loved that personal touch. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and wonderful start to our night out in downtown Houston.

Came here for HRW; Tater tots Lamb pops Ahi tuna Pork belly Chicken pasta Shrimp bucatini Chocolate banana CHeesecake Lemon olive oil cake Tater tots tasted like those freezer tater tot's that you get at the grocery store, the sauce was really bland and it was just very average. The lamb pops were pretty tasty, Less on the gamier so which I love, I love the chimichurri sauce that went along with it, I wish it was cooked a little less Yeah he tuna was average, kind of tasted too salty and had way too much flavor, that all he tuna was not the star of the play, nothing spectacular for me about this The pork belly came with bao buns in gochujang sauce with cucumbers. Although the pork belly was extremely tender and flavorful, the flavor was very smoky and Korean forward. I've had this flavor in my household many times, this definitely tasted off but familiar The chicken pasta was uniquely shaped. The sauce was great, chicken was dry. I wish there was more sauce and the texture was a little more chewy and not tough The bucantini was okay. The noodles were hard in some parts, shrimp was okay, sauce was slightly different from the chicken pasta but not much The chocolate banana cake was our favorite. We loved the ice cream with it and the cake was moist The olive oil cake was very dense. Way too citrusy, it was overwhelmingly dry also. We subbed this out for the cheesecake which was nothing special. The cream part was extremely memorable because it wasn't as creamy as I thought.

Had a girls night dinner here. The restaurant has a very romantic vibe. The drinks are very good. I had the Gin cocktail and The Doja Cat for after dinner with the dessert. The Snapper was PERFECT and truly more flavorful than I thought I'd get at a place like this.

The food unfortunately was not that great. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here. So many good spots in Houston unfortunately the food here does not compete with other places.

*BRAND NEW MUST TRY* Best friend and I wanted to try somewhere new and trendy with outdoor seating because you know...covid. We heard about this place opening and decided to try it out. We are so glad we did! We visited around 5:30pm on a Saturday evening. Parking was simple..we parked on the street right outside the restaurant and it wasn't too busy yet. We walk in and immediately love the atmosphere. High ceilings, beautiful greenery, dim lighting..a very nice ambience. We were greeted by the hostess who showed us the QR code for the menu. All of the employees we saw were wearing masks. We asked to sit outside. The patio is covered by beautiful classical style ceiling and there are plenty of tables. It's great for people-watching in the middle of the city. Our waiter was super helpful and attentive. He immediately brought us waters and warm, fresh bread that was delicious. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and we ended up ordering some of his recommendations...the tater tots for an appetizer, the Pizza Bianco (which my friend and I split), and the Lemon Olive Oil Cake. We devoured the tater tots! They are served in a cream base with corn, jalapeno, and cheddar cheese for toppings. The Pizza Bianco was perfect for splitting. Our waiter recommended switching out the truffle honey for truffle oil and we enjoyed it! The Lemon Olive Oil Cake was very good as well. Our waiter had recommended the Four-Cheese Cheesecake and based on how great everything else was, we will definitely be back to try it! Overall, we had and amazing evening at The Nash and will be back VERY soon. We did not get to try the cocktails yet because of #DryJanuary but will be back with some more friends to try those.

This place is a nice addition to downtown. I live in the building upstairs so it makes it very nice that they bring the food to your door. When dining in, the patio is nice and you get a real feel for city life. The salmon is excellent, the pizza is good, and I also recommend hamburgers. The adult mac & cheese has an interesting taste, but worth getting. Overall, definitely glad to see that they moved into the building. It is now open for lunch, so if you work in the area that is also a plus.

This pasta dish was amazing! I was a bit disappointed with the cheesecake since I love cheesecake, but it was way too salty.
