The Remington Bar

Decided to explore a new restaurant this weekend and stumbled upon Remington inside the St. Regis Hotel. My initial first impression at the hotel was exquisite, the cleanliness, valet, and employee welcomes. The restaurant bar area was full but dinning area was completely empty. The vibe was quiet & dark, but the bartender was quick to say hello and be attentive. I ordered the salmon (that came w/veggies & grits, which I felt made an odd combination). I also ordered a house salad off the recommendation of the bartender. The end report was not good. Everything tastes like it was frozen food microwaved and the salad was soggy. Let say that walked away a tad disappointed that I spend good money on no-so good food,☝🏼 but happy I ventured out to report on a new restaurant.

Harry is the best bartender in Texas. He remembers everybody, makes perfect martinis, anticipates what you want next, etc. in short, he makes the place. The Remington itself is a classic, traditional bar for people who strive and succeed in life. If that’s you, you’ll enjoy top shelf service, drinks, and food.

Such a cozy place to chill and grab a drink! Harry, the bartender is awesome! They will have live music again on weekends beginning labor day. This is the bar within the St Regis hotel

The cilantro rice was light and REALLY tasty! The fish was cooked to perfection and service was impeccable. The seared scallops had that perfect sear and everything was a flavor within itself that melded into the perfect combination. Also, if you like Bloody Marys, ask for Harry's special St. Regis recipe. Hands down, the best I've ever had, no joke!

Incredible service for breakfast and lunch-quality omelette and burger. Grateful they also carry Pepsi products

I like the whole place here at the St Regis, and the bar is excellent. As the St Regis in NY is credited with originating the Bloody Mary Cocktail I had to galive it a go here in Houston. The attached photo shows the result - shrimp/prawn, with stuffed olives, celery (obs), topped off with a green chilli pepper. Thanks to the excellent bar staff it tasted great! The popcorn is really good too!

Really nice place to stay. Elegant friendly helpful staff. The food is always great.

I couldn't find a more dismal hotel bar than this one. The dining room was 100% empty in the several hours we were there. The poor bartender was overwhelmed with virtually no help. The food was terrible. As a final note, they open large format bottles of wine without a Coravin in an empty restaurant. Since nobody was drinking red wine, some poor fool gets old wine in a day or two.
