Reviews for Gratify in Houston, TX
Unique ambience upon entering the restaurant. I had the bouillabaisse, it was good but was expecting a bit more seafood, just... seems a bit modest for $44. My dinner partner had the Dover Sole, which she gave a good grade. I was surprised when I asked fora refill on the cola. The waiter returned to the table with what is shown in the picture, warm cola. The waiter advised me thatthey do not have a soda dispenser and use cans. They do not offer complementary refills so what you see cost $2.50. Read more
The food was amazing. Fresh, flavorful and honestly the best eggs Benedict that I have ever had. (Short Ribs) The potato wedges... were so moist unlike most place where they’re dry or over salted. Read more
Came for a farewell brunch for a friend, and Gratify did a great job of accommodating us. The inside is beautiful and the... bathroom and waiting area decor is a very artsy eclectic aesthetic. I got the Good, the bad, and the Hombre cocktail, the flightof oysters, and the charred octopus. Blake was a great attendant, and I'm glad he recommended the flight of oysters because themenu didn't mention it, and it allowed me to sample all the oysters. The cocktail was great, and the octopus had a lot offlavor coming from the chili and parsley oils on the plate. My only critique was that the crisp on the octopus was too much forthe blunt table knives, and I really wish that I had a sharper knife to cut with as one cut caused the oils to spill onto thetablecloth and my clothes with the force I needed to cut it. That being said, the bite below the crisp was very flavorful. Thecharcuterie board was also a hit for 5 people. The brunch menu was a little limited and only caters to all price points if youchoose from the al a carte menu. We spent between $20-100 per person, but Gratify is a good place to go to share dishes and havegreat conversation in a well designed eatery Read more
Great customer service, great ambience. Love the food and the little touches they do to make the experience enjoyable. If you... havent been, you should try this place. Birthdays are extra special. Romantic place too. Garage nearby was open— not sure ifit was free. They also have valet parking. Read more
The food was really great. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly too. The only annoying thing is the valet... doesn’t tell you where to pay and acts shocked when you haven’t figured it out yourself. 6 valet guys stood there after onetook my valet card ???? never told me to may. Food is too expensive here for rude valet just sayin Read more
Just wow! A very unique dining experience with flavors all over the charts. We ordered different things to try the entire menu... as best as we could. Suppose we ordered the popular stuff but everything was very good. The place is small and quaint with avery homey feel and it was not too too busy when we were there. Felt very Spain-ish style of dining as courses came aftercourses and not just all thrown on the table at once. Came in For an anniversary celebration so they gave us a nice Anniversarycard. Read more
I've heard good things about this place and I've been wanting to try it. Finally we went last Saturday and totally... disappointment. Our reservation was 8:30 and restaurant still packed! We were seated right outside of the kitchen and I feltlike it was not meant to have a table setup as every time someone walked by, i felt a kick or tab to the chair which was quitedisturbing. Same thing for my friend she had isle seat just as annoying. Move on to our waiters, we had 2 waiters but theservice was not attentive at all. We order a charcuterie board, Octopus, mussels, soup of the day, frites as appetizers andtaglierini & truffles as entrée. Since we had a small table he suggested he would get the charcuterie board out first and restof the stuffs later which make sense. However round 2, we got Octopus, mussels and entrée. When we asked him about the soup,he said we had a small table so he can't get everything out the same time. We told him we understand but we could expect soupcome before entrée. He just kept saying our table is too small which is not an excuse for entrée came before soup! Also, Iwant to mention when one of the stuff brought out Octopus, mussels and the entrée, charcuterie board was still on the table andthe stuff had 3 dishes in his hand hence he was unable to pick up charcuterie board. Another waitress saw it and helped out. Our waiters were nowhere to be found and never come to check on us until I flagged him down to follow up with our soup andfrites. I was already unsatisfied with the service and his respond on soup and frites just add add fuel to the fire. I justdon't agree that entrée should come before soup because the table was too small!! He just didn't pay attention to the food weordered and how should the food should be placed to the kitchen in the first place! Anyways, beside the inattentive service,food over all was ok. My favorite was their baguette and taglierini & truffles. Mussels had a lot of sand which w Read more
We had an amazing brunch here last weekend! The atmosphere is so pretty and perfect for a girls day out or any kind of... celebration. I had the eggs benedict with ham and my sister had the french toast. Both dishes were fantastic, but the frenchtoast was just incredible! We also tried some cocktails. My favorite was the espresso martini. Dessert was also delectable. Ihad the flourless chocolate cake. It was heavenly and reminded me of a mousse texture with hints of cherry. My sister loved herkeylime pie. Afterwards, we took some fun photos in their lounge area. Everything was top notch and we can't wait to come backsoon! Read more
