Restaurants near University of Houston

I always enjoy myself at Drake’s Hollywood. Not only is the food exceptional, but as someone who is big on service, I can tell they take careful consideration in hiring the BEST waitstaff and bartenders. I’ve only experienced Brandon and Vincent so far, but they have definitely stood out service wise and I frequent the Houston restaurant scene. Kudos to Drakes. The new salmon recipe is exceptional! One recommendation for improvement: the strawberry multilayer cake definitely makes a fantastic presentation, however, as a foodie… the taste must improve & become more flavorful.

Great food, expeditious and gracious service (courtesy of Rafa), and a wonderful ambiance to dine in for a night out or a special occasion

Beautiful atmosphere for French cuisine. The waiters were solicitous but not pushy. The Tuna Tartare was delicious and the serving easily accommodated 2 people.

This is hands down the best sushi in Houston. I’m a regular hereThe gyutoro is heavenly…it literally melts in your mouth. The service is always impeccable. Even with inflation the quality of the food has not been compromised. They no longer bring the warm towel for your hands but it just doesn’t matter; the food is too good to care about that. Also, I’m not telling you who the best waiter is because he’s mine! Food to try: 72-hr short rib gyutoro nigiri (get a lot of them!) Anything with gyutoro wagyu Zero Sen roll Gyutoro nabe (crispy rice hot bowl with mushrooms and a sauce that will make you lose your etiquette!) Vegetarians try: Veggie nabe (w/w/o the egg) hot crispy rice bowl Veggie mushi Pitchfork roll Uchi salad Book choy (Amazing!)

Eric's is always great at accommodating last-minute lunch meetings and the environment is very quiet and professional. Perfect for any business/academic meetings.
