The Raven Grill

We came around 5 pm in a weekday after school for a special treat for my daughter doing well at the school a block away with the same mascot. Place was empty but me and my kid were seated in the bar area. Main dining area was pretty full when we left. The blackened chicken pasta is actually minced chicken on pasta. Not actual pieces of chicken. And those small minced bits are not blackened. Super Dry. And no flavor. Not sure how they get away calling it blackened chicken. Honestly it tasted like a can of tuna fish dumped on spaghetti with some diced tomato’s sprinkled on top. And there’s no complimentary bread either for the pasta. Burger was ok. Definitely better but also not great. But the fries were just lukewarm. At the prices charged it’s a shame. Calling Gordon for a makeover.

This is a quiet little café (at least when we went), and my friend and I were glad we chose it. The food was excellent and the service was great! I had the black pepper steak salad and vanilla creme brulee, my friend had the bacon-wrapped steak and molten brownie, and we both had coffee with dessert. 10/10, would recommend.

I had such a great experience here! The manager was incredibly nice and welcoming, which made the whole vibe feel even better. We ordered the salmon and the catfish, and both dishes were absolutely bomb — so flavorful and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they put a lot of care into the food. We also tried the brownie for dessert, and it was unlike anything I’ve ever had before — seriously delicious! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Sep-27: Nice ambience on the covered patio with fans. Dog friendly. Really attentive service. Mesquite grilled redfish (fresh fish of the day) had a nice char (a few areas of dryness), grilled shrimp pasta was very good with the shrimp also mesquite grilled. Cocktails were just ok. Reasonable prices for quantity and quality

Pet peeve alert - Automatically adding 20% gratuity for poor service. Ugh. Never refilled waters, or asked for our drink order, we had to wave down for dessert menu and no one brought the bill. The entrees were fine, but would steer clear of desserts. Enjoyed the patio seating and appreciated on site parking.

Have been a regular at the Raven for more than 10 years. They have always been consistent with their food quality and service. On a recent weeknight visit their food quality was off. I mention this in the spirit of they can do better. I support local businesses who employee Houstonians and continue to be a part of our local community. Keep up the good work that has made the Raven a very special part of the Houston Restaurant Community

Fabulous find in the Rice area! Lovely, quiet dinner with very friendly and helpful staff. The brie was amazing! The red fish special was tasty and well presented. Reasonable prices and a good selection of dishes to choose from. Parking is a breeze! For once, you don't have to scramble to find a place to park - there seems to be plenty of space in the lot (visited midweek).

The Raven Grill will certainly be one of our favorite restaurants in the Rice Village area. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The food was excellent! We started with the smoked salmon deviled eggs and wow they were greMy husband had the meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. I had the cedar plank salmon with the potatoes and spinach. We had the carrot cake for desert. Everything was sooooo good. The service was professional and friendly. The restaurant was clean. We will definitely be back next time we're in Houston. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

This is one of our favorite Houston restaurants. Great location and great parking. My all time go-to favorite dish is the Cedar Plank Salmon. We enjoy sitting at the bar to dine. We especially enjoy dining here when Michael and/or Alex are tending the bar.

My family and I wanted to try something new on a Sunday night around 6 pm. My husband found this place online near us. The small parking lot is tight so backing up into your spot is recommended to get out easier. I called ahead to ask what the wait time was and the worker said we would be seated right away. I noticed the sign about how the world is short staffed so be kind to those who show up which I thought was a nice reminder. I didn't realize I would have requested some kindness to be shown to us too. We were seated in a timely manner and I asked for a high chair but we never got one. Our server greeted us and seemed very nice. We had to wait awhile for water and to order but she did apologize for the long wait which didn't bother us at all. I didn't anticipate the wait time would be an issue until my toddler started getting restless with hunger. There is complimentary bread & butter packets but it wasn't the best quality so even my son didn't enjoy it. He started crying and we tried to calm him down but only after a few minutes, the manager came to our table and told us he will ask us to leave if our son cries again without empathy or kindness. We just said ok, sorry. Honestly, the manager's approach ruined my appetite and I felt so embarrassed. I couldn't even look up from the table. I never had that feeling ever at a restaurant. I really wish we just left but the food came right after & I knew the wait time to take everything to go would make things worse. I had ordered a salmon steak and asked to substitute the herb rice with sautéed spinach but they mistakenly also substituted my mashed potatoes. I didn't even feel like asking to correct it at this point. I asked our server to box it up for me. My kids ate the chicken strips & fries without issues. My husband rated his $44 NY steak strip 6/10 (dry & chewy) but he enjoyed the veggies and mashed potatoes. His steak knife was struggling to cut the meat. My son sat & ate quietly the whole time. Our server was nice overall but took awhile to check on us. The bathroom appeared clean and I thought it was nice to include a kid step stool. However, I would definitely not recommend families to come here. The manager was extremely unwelcoming.

Completely Unwelcoming ! The gracious hostess put me at a good table. Three other tables were occupied. Several servers standing around. No one came around. After six minutes I walked out. Would never go there again.

I've passed this place so many times over my lifetime and finally decided to give it a go. I did find the outdoor patio to be very charming, but other than that the experience was not great My boyfriend and I both ordered steaks cooked medium. The steaks were both overcooked. My boyfriend was lucky and got one that was slightly pink on the inside but mine was gray and difficult to chew. The veggies served with it were unseasoned and bland. We paid $100 for this and I could have done it at home way better. The service was also slow. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place.

This gem has been thriving for 25 years! Long ago when I lived in the area, it was always a treat to dine with girlfriends and catch up. It's been many years, but I stopped in and was so happy to know this place is still amazing. I shared the tower of rings with my husband and wow! It was a stack of about five large, graduated in size onion rings that were hand breaded and yummy! It also had three poblano peppers that were fried. Oh my gosh! Brilliant. It came with a spicy chipotle dip. Salmon was grilled to perfection and not swimming in butter. I did not add any seasoning - it was perfect. Herbed rice and sautéed spinach completed my meal. Again, all was perfect! Being on weight watchers, I'm always looking for ways to eat healthy while not being deprived and thus fit the bill. My husband had the burger and fries. No complaints! Our server was attentive and knew the menu and was able to offer suggestions. I wish I lived closer to The Raven. It will always be a welcoming place. It's low key casual but top notch tasty! PS: Picnic is on the opposite end of strip and the best place for a quick pick-up! Owned by Raven and will not disappoint. Great for littles!

Place was empty but they seated us in the bar area. By the time we left the main dining area was full. There's no discount for students that go to Poe elementary just a block away. But they definitely got Edgar Allen Poe vibes here. EST. 1998 it started only 60 years after the school which was EST 1928. We almost got the steak but at 44 bucks I was thinking we better not risk it at a grill. So instead we got the burger which I figured grills should be good at. It was ok. Not wow or anything. The cheeseburger has a couple different types of cheese on it making the $2 surcharge slightly more palatable. The meat on the blackened chicken pasta didn't really look blackened at all. In fact it looked like minced tuna fish looks like when it comes out of the can. And it tasted like that too. Dry. No flavor. The pictures I saw looked like actual strips of chicken. But we just got minced chicken. C'mon guys. And no there's no complimentary bread either. At least not for us there wasn't. At 22 bucks, I'd definitely stick with the burger next time. But spoiler alert - there won't be a next time. Staff was ok. Not friendly but not cold. Just ... there. Idk. I really wanted to love this place but probably we won't be back then though it's just down the street from my kids school.

We have been regulars for years and years. Tonight we had terrible service. My drink was barely refilled once. She would not clear the table after the appetizer and I asked her to split the check and she said she would split it half and half. We did not ask for half and half. As a result, we did not tip. Your manager came out like a bat out of hell to run after us to tell us we should have tipped. How classy of him. We have been regulars for years, and always tip. We won't be back. Find a manager that knows customer service. In this ecomony money is hard to come by. We like supporting small business and have been regulars of Raven and Picnic for 20 plus years. I am not sure if it was because we were two women, that your manager had the nerve to come out and berate and scream at us. I have never been treated like this anywhere. You seriously need to reevalate who you have as a manager representing your business. Nevil, your former manager would never dream of this reprehensible behavior, to scream and verbably attack us and create a scene in front of your customers. He truly embarrased himself making a total jackass of himself. This is after we had appetizers, an entree and dessert.

This little neighborhood gem is one of my favorite places in Houston. The ambience is comfortable, and the staff are professional and welcoming. The food is made to order and it is delicious.

We had a good takeout dinner from Raven Grill--I really liked my salmon salad, and the molten chocolate cake (kind of a combo of souffle and brownie) was great. My friends liked their enchiladas too. Solid choice!

Literally just walked out. No one at host stand. Bartender told us where to sit and then ignored us. At least 3 staff members looked right at us without acknowledgment. Had to grab our own menus and still waited and waited. No one greeted our table so we left. Only 2 other tables in the whole place. I should've known we were in for a bad experience when you see a sign at entry that says "Be nice to those who showed up."

We were disappointed on our first visit to the Raven. It was a Sunday night about 75 minutes before they were scheduled to close. My wife had Pecan Crusted Chicken. She thought the chicken was dry and may have been cooked earlier and reheated. I had a Po Boy fish sandwich. I felt it was relatively tasteless compared to other Po Boys I've had in the past.

I've only ordered to go from here but the blackened chicken pasta and the Pecan crusted chicken are 10/10's! I will definitely be ordering from here again.

This a rustic warm restaurant filled mostly with people from Rice University, college professors etc. the service was excellent and very attentive. The food was good not excellent. We ordered a Caesar salad which they slip for us. It was fresh but lacking flavor. I ordered the cedar plank salmon. It was very good. The portion was adequate. My husband ordered the pasta with shrimp. That was very good. It's a pleasant place and I will visit it again.

We decided to try out the Raven Grill for my daughter's birthday. She picked the restaurant and from reviews it looked pretty good. The ambiance was nice when we entered and we were seated immediately. Waiter was friendly and brought our bread and butter. Bread was homemade. We had a rosemary bread and a raisin bread. Both were delicious. We tried to order smoked salmon deviled eggs for appetizers per reviews but they were all out. we ordered Jalapeño shrimp and baked Brie. Both were delicious but baked Brie was more mushroom than Brie. We also ordered a nice bottle of Cabernet. For main course we ordered plank salmon, meatloaf, Raven burger and Cajun chicken pasta. Salmon was cooked perfectly, but I was perplexed about why it was on top of undressed salad mix and big pile of mashed potatoes. I had to ask for salad dressing. My husband had the meatloaf and loved it. The burger and pasta were sizable and had some leftovers. We had to order the carrot cake which was quite big and delicious. I thought it was a little dry but family loved it. Overall good ambiance, good service and good food. Definitely recommend!!

Great food. Catfish is delicious. Dine in and to go service is great. I prefer take out or patio seating because some it's too much smoke from the grill.

It's been 5+ years since I ate at Raven Grill (with good memories). Recent dinner was very disappointing: frozen butter packets; overcooked bacon-wrapped shrimp, crusted chicken pounded so thin it was difficult to taste the chicken. Vegetables were good. Service was good.

I've been going here for 25 years! Nice Southampton neighborhood spot. There's a small outdoor patio. Good ambiance and service. Love the tower of onion rings with fried poblano peppers. The chicken fried steak is soooo good!

Yes, I have been going to going to this restaurant for many treats. I think the trout on the menu is one of the best in Houston.

This restaurant has been one that I have gone to for many years but now I'm never going back. I don't recommend it to anyone! I like to support local but today the manager went ballistic! The waitress seemed new today and she made all kinds of mistakes! She took forever to bring the food and never gave my sister a refill and she was absent most of the time. She had no idea of what she was doing and didn't know how to split the bill according to what we ate. So at the end had to wait a long time to get the bill too So my sister and I paid and then we decided not to tip because the waitress was incompetent. The purpose of tipping is to reward excellent service not to reward bad service. So as we walked out the door then the manager a guy with glasses comes after us yelling out next time it's recommended to leave a tip because the waitstaff only get paid $2 an hour. Why would he come after us to yell that out!?! Nobody can make someone give a tip and certainly not for bad service! That restaurant has gone down hill for a while. I'm not going back. We spent a lot of money there and to be yelled at just because we aren't white is wrong! Do not come to this restaurant

This is a cute little restaurant in Montrose with an outdoor patio. I've been there a few times, and have been happy with the food and service. They don't have a lot of vegetarian options, but they have enough to still make this a good choice for vegetarians. They also have a pretty nice wine selection.

Great food. Lovely neighborhood restaurant atmosphere. Patio seating is nice. Excellent service. One of the best carrot cakes in town! Fabulous steaks and delicious salmon salad. Great spot for a business lunch, girls lunch or a family celebration.

This place is old school upscale dining. It's quiet and the food is good. Service is attentive and not imposing. I love silent service! Great place for a business lunch or a romantic dinner.

My friend and I had dinner here last week. It was my first time eating here and it was really good. I started with the Southhampton Martini which is made with antique gin. I didn't realize that antique gin is different from regular gin so when the drink came out, it smelled like bourbon or whiskey which I do not like. It tasted a little bit like it too. Before I sent it back, I did a quick google search about antique gin and realized it's aged in oak barrels. So now I know for next time to not order any drink with aged or antique gin since it will taste similar to whiskey. The drink was otherwise good and if you like whiskey flavored gin, then I recommend this drink. For my entrée, I ordered the grilled fish tacos. The chipotle sauce on them was a bit spicy so I was drinking water so quickly. Luckily our server was attentive and kept my water glass full. The rice and beans were okay, but the tacos were delicious. They were very filling too. For dessert, we split the seasonal fruit crisp (peach). It's basically a mini peach cobbler a la mode. It was really good and satisfied the sweet craving. We were also able to pay at the table which was convenient. The restaurant was really nice and the staff was friendly. I noticed that my clothes smelled a little smoky after we left (our table was near the grill). It wasn't terrible, but to me it was noticeable. The parking lot is basically one way and it can be a little tricky getting out if you park on the side of the building, but I'm glad they have a private lot.

Love this place! Always go by to eat there when we are in Houston. The Raven tacos are amazing! My favorite. My husband loves their vegetable platter. The portobello mushrooms on it are according to him just like eating a steak.

I do not know how I was not aware of this gem, but am glad I know now! We stopped by after an event at our grandson's school. Our server was Martha and she was fantastic! I ordered the chicken enchiladas and The Outlaw. The Outlaw martini did not disappoint! Delicious! The enchiladas and rice and beans were so flavorful. My husband ordered the bacon wrapped filet. It was amazing! The manager, Mel, came over to welcome us and was so nice! We cannot wait to return!

The ambiance is great, the service was exceptional, but the food was lacking. We had the deviled eggs and the calamari for appetizers. The calamari was completely bland ands tasteless, but the deviled eggs were the best thing in the restaurant. For dinner we had a variety of foods. I'll start with the trout, which had almost no flavor. It looked great, the staging was perfect, but no flavor. The cedar plank salmon was the same. I personally had the raven grill burger, and the French fries. The fries are good, not great, but they were perfectly salted. The burger was good sized, but the cook used zero spices. It was basically cardboard shaped food. The pecan crusted chicken wasn't as bland as the rest of the food, but it was overcooked. All in all I think this restaurant has a lot of potential, but it needs a new cook. The manager was attentive, waitstaff were awesome, and the prices are very reasonable.

The Raven Grill will certainly be one of our favorite restaurants in the Rice Village area. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The food was excellent! We started with the smoked salmon deviled eggs and wow they were greMy husband had the meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. I had the cedar plank salmon with the potatoes and spinach. We had the carrot cake for desert. Everything was sooooo good. The service was professional and friendly. The restaurant was clean. We will definitely be back next time we're in Houston. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

Great food and friendly service until we told our server that my spouse Irish Coffee didn't seem right. They served a coffee with Irish cream and what she ordered (and what is on the menu) is traditional Irish coffee. The bartender proceeded to come to our table and tell us we were wrong (he was clearly angry) and that we would have to agree to disagree, meaning we pay for something we didn't order. This really ruined the whole experience for me.

I ordered the seafood enchiladas. My sister ordered the same thing and my nephew ordered a bacon burger. My sisters seafood enchiladas was cold and the bacon burger was bland. No seasoning. The price for the bacon burger was $15 and we were charged $21. We waited 15 minutes for our waiter to order a dessert and he never took our order. So now we are waiting for a manager.

Ate here recently and ordered the Spicy Southwestern Caesar salad, which was described as "Romaine tossed in spicy Caesar dressing and topped with roasted corn/black bean salsa, Parmesan cheese and tortilla strips". What was served: - romaine lettuce with good portion (more than half) of ribs and most of the lettuce was turning brown - the spicy Caesar dressing was regular Caesar dressing with red pepper - roasted corn/ black bean salsa was maybe a scant tablespoon of half a dozen kernels of corn, maybe 2 black beans and a few pieces of chopped tomato - the Parmesan cheese and tortilla strips were good But, the salad was pricey for a meal I didn't find appetizing, appealing, or edible. I do not recommend ordering this salad. There may be other items on the menu worth ordering. Service was so so. I won't be returning.

The food and staff are amazing! We frequent this establishment and they have been consistent in these aspects. There's an outside dining area. However we tend to dine inside. Noise levels permit good conversation.

Excellent food and service. Conveniently located near the hospital district. This restaurant has much to offer. Food was very good along with the service. quiet and the place is clean.

Great food, reasonable prices, a pleasant atmosphere, and consistently great service. What more could you ask for, if you are in the Houston museum area? Highly recommended!

We stopped in for an early dinner after visiting the museum. We ordered sweet potato and spinach enchiladas, chicken enchiladas and meatloaf. All were excellent. Our waiter was great and took good care of us. We will definitely return.

I don't know what was wrong with them at this visit. I took company here because of their usually reliable good food and service. I'm going to post this and remove it later if it was just a glitch. I had the hamburger and the patty was so dry and the bun was as hard as a brick! I couldn't even pull it apart or take a bite! The kitchen here is small and visible, and I saw my fries sitting on the counter getting colder and colder. I wasn't going to make trouble and ask for a fresher bun and new fries, but I won't order this again. There were so few servers, and people were obviously sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting but yet, 2 of the servers were just standing there. I've been here a lot, and I hope this is not a new trend for them. Don't get the hamburger or ask for a softer bun. And send the fries back if they are cold!!!

This is a hidden gem! The food is fresh & delicious. This restaurant is a quite and has a relaxing vibe. Date night, girl time or just to get out and have a delicious meal. Fresh fish, vegetables, pasta, all the food is delicious! I ordered the blackened chicken pasta and the flavors were sooo good! I ate all the vegetables-I never eat mushrooms, and I ate them. The entire entree was gone..lol..we also ordered the fresh catch of the day..so fresh and cooked at perfect temp! The other entree was the filet with mash potatoes. Since, desserts are made in house. We had to Oder a carrot cake! Definitely shareable and delicious. Overall, this restaurant will never disappoint. Great service, drinks, food and perfect spot!

We were a big group about 20 people and the service was excellent. The food was great, I like the atmosphere.

This is an okay place.. its not remarkable but its not bad either. Its a bit pricy for what you're getting though. The atmosphere was decent.. its definitely not a place for young people.

Went to eat around 6:45 pm with my disabled son and 93 year old Mother. The lack of attention was appalling. we had to request menus and ask the bus person for more water. The blackened catfish was so salty you couldn't eat it. but on the other hand - the rice and vegetables had absolutely no seasoning. Our poor little waitress had so much going on we were afraid to ask for more of anything. The three front hostess's just stood up front and talked to each other instead of helping the wait staff. The only redeeming quality was the bus person that kept an eye out for us. We will never be back.

I came here with a big group and was pleasantly surprised. This place is quite popular among Rice employees and faculty, so don't be surprised to see your professors dining here and discussing your poor midterm results. We ordered the Raven Sampler, Crab cakes, calamari, and grilled shrimp, and they were all delicious. The Raven Sampler is the only appetizer sampler I have ever had whose options were all amazing. The crab cakes sort of just fall apart in your mouth and the calamari were crispier than normal calamari without being oily or hard. If you're a sucker for finger foods, I might even recommend ONLY ordering appetizers. And if you only get one appetizer, make it the calamari. My main entree was Blackened Catfish, which came with grilled vegetables and a Rice pilaf. The Catfish was a little salty, but eating it with the vegetables balanced out the flavor, and the rice was addicting, albeit simple. The other entrees my pals ordered all looked delicious as well, and we didn't have any problem cleaning our plates. The service was terrific, and the owner or manager passed by at some point to make sure we were having a nice evening. The Raven Grill is a solid American restaurant, perfect for date night or a professional dinner. You won't be wowed by the food, but you will surely be pleasantly surprised. They have a dearth of food options and an impressive drinks menu. If you take your professors here, they might even curve your midterm grade! It's about that good.

I've always received amazing food here. This is one of those places where you don't just order the last thing you tried. This menu is diverse and everything is good. On top of this is the excellent customer service. You get what you pay for and thankful they're in the neighborhood.

Ate outside Great food and menu. Had salmon and fish tacos. Will go back. Great place if looking for outside seating.

If you are looking for a nicer lunch to take a client or boss to, Raven Grill is the perfect spot. Of course, the outdoor patio is an excellent place to share lunch with a friend as well and it is shaded so you don't melt! I ordered the Pecan Crusted Chicken. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! It was perfectly crusted and cooked with a creamy ancho sauce on top. The grilled sweet potatoes on the side were tasty as well! There are plenty of salads to choose from and based on my plate and those around me, their food appears to be very fresh and clean! Order a pot of hot tea to accompany your meal and you will be good to go! I assure you, this lunch will not disappoint and you will probably even have left overs for the next day (or afternoon snack)!

Arrived at Uchi for dinner when they told us it was going to be over an hour and a half wait! No thanks, so being somewhat nearby, I decided to bring my bf here since I enjoyed the sweet potato spinach enchilada I had a few years ago. Just to be sure I called to ask about the wait, and luckily there wasn't one. However, after this dining experience I might be able to shed some light as to why. We were seated promptly, and a few minutes later our waitress came by to ask for our drink and food order. We weren't ready so asked for a few minutes as their menu is a bit overwhelming with choices of pasta, burger, enchiladas, chicken, pork, and daily rotating dinner specials... Grilled Shrimp Pasta: I only had a few bites of this, but it was completely underwhelming, tasteless, and just greasy. Bf reports the pesto tasted old, and just bland/oily, missing the pecans, and the fettuccine wasn't cooked right. The only acceptable component of this dish was the slightly overcooked shrimp. Pecan Crusted Chicken: I had such high hopes for this as it is after all one of The Raven's Favorites. The first few bites I took were a tease as the chicken was actually tender, but then I started to eat a few more to learn the chicken was cooked quite unevenly. There were some parts that were super tough to cut through, making the batter crumble, revealing that it was mostly bread crumbs with interspersed pieces of pecans. They didn't even try with the veggies, literally grilled sweet potato and sauteed green beans with the inedible ends still left on! The ancho sauce was flavorful and I guess you were supposed to dip all your food in it. Because it was my bf's birthday they gave us a complimentary dessert of a molten lava chocolate cake, and I would say this was pretty good, super rich and chocolatey. I would rate our overall dining experience as 1.5 stars, our waitress didn't seem to care about our order, our glasses were always empty (we had to flag down someone, who only acknowledged us because another table of older white ladies were flagging her down and we got lucky and intercepted). The complimentary bread (from Picnic next door) wasn't given to us until about 15 minutes of waiting and when we got it, it was cold. I asked for it to be toasted, our waitress looks at me like I am cray cray, and then brings back burnt bread (they don't have a toaster). The only slightly redeeming factor was the bday dessert which our waitress didn't even know the name of.

This is one of those restaurants that I have driven by literally hundreds of times but never stopped at. On a Saturday afternoon after doing lots of errands, my husband and I decided to stop in for a meal. We drove up and found the parking lot mostly empty. I can definitely imagine how difficult parking is when the restaurant is mostly full, as there really isn't any street parking. I do like the neighborhood feel of the restaurant and the cozy patio. The open kitchen was also nice, especially because it wasn't loud, it was just interesting to watch. The tables are interesting. They have white table cloths, but then are stopped with brown butcher paper. I know I've seen it before, what exactly is that look? Is it a "we want to look shabby chic" or is it a "we're fancy with our white table cloths, but laundry services are a bitch"... I just don't know. We stood inside at the front door for a very long time. There were 3 servers chatting at the bar who looked at us several times but didn't come over. I was about to to go ask if it was "Seat Yourself" (which it obviously wasn't), when it finally dawned on them that we were waiting for a table. It took far too long for them to realize we needed to be seated. One of them came toward us and smiled a bit embarrassed saying she thought there was a hostess up there. Um, wouldn't we have been seated then? She ended up being our waitress and certainly chagrined. We looked over the menu and were pleased to see lots of cheaper lunch sandwich options. The main reason we came here was the words "turkey burger" in someone's review. My husband has an unnatural love for Turkey burgers. I ordered a chicken sandwich with cheese, bacon, and onions ($1 extra for each addition topping, so watch out, things add up quickly). My food was fine, nothing special and nothing bad. My husband excitedly ordered the Turkey Burger. Of course, he was told that they were out of it. He ended up with the Tuna Steak Burger. His tuna burger was just ok, and he really wasn't a fan of the french fries. So, both our meals were just meh, ok, so-so, ordinary, nothing special, etc... you catch my drift. I would give The Raven Grill a second chance. The waitstaff made up for their initial airheadedness by being very attentive throughout the meal. I like the general atmosphere of the restaurant. I would definitely call and make sure they have a Turkey Burger before we make another trip, and I would probably avoid the place at peak times because of the parking. Overall, 3 stars, but I will eventually make a return visit to thoroughly investigate what they have to offer.

I might have given the underseasoned and overpriced entrees a second shot on a another occasion, but my stomach says NO!! Spending most of the night in "the John" from eating the crab meat and shrimp enchilada is not my way of ending the evening. The aesthetics are very marketable and attractive to many with it's rustic romantic vibe, but my poor stomach never EVER wants to be in this much agony again!

Raven Grill is a great neighborhood staple for our area. Just had the wedge salad and added blackened chicken. Ask for server named Elliot-he was attentive, friendly and super-cute.

It was great food but EVEN BETTER SERVICE! Alondra was such amazing waitress and I felt very welcomed from the second I walked in!

Delicious food and great service. They were able to accommodate my special diet. They also welcomed our service dog without any problem. I had the sweet potato and spinach enchiladas with a gluten free sauce. My son had the pecan crusted chicken and my husband had the pot roast. We all loved our meals! We will be back!
