    Relish is our FAVORITE spot in Houston for Bistro cuisine. We appreciate the friendliest, most-attentive service, excellent cocktails and an exceptional warm welcome each and every time. WE also love to sit at the bar! We never have to worry about sacrificing attentiveness and we enjoy the friendly, accomplished bartenders. Food is dependably good and something for everyone. Relish is our go-to most any night of the week, better than home because we don't have to do the dishes - but equally comfortable and exceptionally welcoming.

    The new Relish is everything you could want in a local restaurant. Easy to get a reservation. Lots of parking. No wait time to be seated. Comfortable and pretty decor. Quick and competent service. Friendly general manager roaming. The cocktails and the wine were excellent. The appetizers were delicious and came out quickly and piping hot. The crab cake was full of lump crabmeat and almost too big, Ha. The beet salad was creative and yummy. The hamburger already has a fine reputation from the original location and it did not disappoint. Someone go "Kiss the Chef" because he is doing a fine job. I am thrilled that in early February, Relish will extend its hours to include lunch, a happy hour and weekend brunches. I think I have found my favorite local restaurant.

    We had a very nice Christmas Day dinner. Very good drinks, the Devil in Disguise and the Repeat Offender. Nice oysters for our appetizer. My wife had the lobster bisque and it was perfect. I had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. We had the tremendous orange soufflé for dessert. A must have. Really amazing. Great night.
