    The food is always so good and so are the drinks, service was a little slower this time but the staff were very attentive and made sure to check in with us plenty of times while we were waiting for our food. Good ambiance and not super packed on a Tuesday night.

    This is my and my wife’s third time dining at The Chef’s Table and it’s a hit every single time. From the immediate warm welcome when we arrived to the service and knowledge given by our server to the hot, delicious meals we received, it’s a 10/10 always. This is hands down our favorite restaurant since we’ve moved to the Houston area and will always be our go-to for special occasions. I highly recommend checking them out if you have not had the chance to! As someone who comes from the hospitality industry, I can’t say enough good things about them! We will certainly be back soon!

    We’ve never had a bad meal here! The food is consistently delicious, presentation is always on point, ambiance is sublime, and service is unfailingly excellent. Our most recent visit was for Mother’s Day High Chai. The assortment of savory and sweet treats were delightful. If I have to pick an area needing improvement, I’d say the only thing missing are sconces with jam and clotted cream. Raj, our server was truly outstanding!! He was attentive, informative and very friendly. We felt like we made a new friend (lol!).
