Best Live Music Restaurants in Rice Village

Had dinner here with my wife and friends. This is an outstanding restaurant. The service was exceptional, the food was very well prepared and the drink/spirits options were plentiful. The ambiance could be a bit more ‘intimate,’ but the noise levels were acceptable and distance between seating areas was reasonable. I felt the pricing was just very slightly high, but, overall a very good experience which I would recommend.

Enjoyed the Valentine’s Day 3-course dinner for our anniversary. All courses were delicious! Lovely food based in Barcelona, Spain cuisine.

I went here for galentines & it was absolutely MARVELOUS! You have to valet or park on the street, but street parking was surprisingly easy to find. The door was always opened for us & the guy helped my friends get group pics, which was super kind. The ambient lighting, the live music that transitioned into a DJ later on that night, the amazing bartender (ask for Kelyn, she’s awesome), our super sweet bartender (Zickee? I know I’m mispelling his name, but he was so attentive & kind), & the FOOD. The burger genuinely was the best burger I’ve ever eaten (if you don’t like too much butter, maybe avoid this), the deviled eggs had CAVIAR on it & tasted so good… I wanted to fight my two other friends for the last egg hehe. The lambchop was great, but if you’re HUNGRY, it’s only that on top of a polenta (kind of a cheesy, hashbrown but I think it’s cornmeal not potatoes), so I’d advise getting a side or two with that. The pasta looked amazing, & it genuinely wasn’t as expensive as it may feel. We split everything evenly & with a large tip it was still a decent price! And they gave us chocolate covered strawberries topped with real gold flakes at the end. Perfect restaurant, my absolute favourite in Houston now. Still dreaming of the burger!

Amazing! Food was fantastic. We had wonderful service and hospitality. They truly made this experience memorable. Want to give recognition to our servers sofiane and JD, perfect examples of amazing service. Very attentive, professional, and most importantly, fun!

I have been to Frnds multiple times and every time I go, I feel like the food gets better and better! They don’t skip out on taste at all! We got to meet the chef that cooks on the weekends during brunch and he was so nice! Along with all the staff and manager.
