    Food and service were amazing as usual. The duck service is easily one of the best entrees in the entire region, amazing diversity of flavors and textures. This restaurant continues to be of the highest quality since it opened.

    This was our 3rd time here, The Red Headed Stranger is an excellent cocktail to start with. The food is very tasty but not over done. The sides are great to share. While still a great evening, did notice that the serving team was a little understaffed when compared to our prior two visits. Sunday night or spring break might have been a factor. Still a nice evening and highly recommended.

    Credence delivers an exceptional dining experience, blending refined South Texas cuisine with top-tier service in a warm, inviting atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the rustic yet elegant decor, featuring rich wood tones and an open kitchen, sets the stage for a memorable meal. The menu is a celebration of live-fire cooking, with standout dishes like the Deviled Crabs on the Half Shell, bursting with smoky tomato butter, and the delicate parisa, where smoky beef meets cheddar and egg yolk for a perfect bite. The whole duck, served with a silky, sweet jus, and the truffle pasta paired with a petite dry-aged steak, showcase the restaurant’s dedication to bold flavors and impeccable execution. Beyond the food, the service is just as impressive. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the dining experience they provide. Whether recommending the perfect whiskey from their extensive collection or ensuring every dish arrives at its best, they make you feel like a valued guest. Credence is a true gem in Houston’s dining scene—perfect for a special occasion or an elevated night out. From the food to the service, every detail is thoughtfully crafted, making it a must-visit for those who appreciate exceptional cuisine.

    Credence was amazing as usual! We have been here several times before in their lounge area and bar. We made a note in the reservation to celebrate my birthday. Russell mentioned it as soon as we sat down and made the entire experience wonderful! Service was attentive and fast. All of our servers were helpful and friendly. The food was amazing! Our table ordered a variety of surf and turf appetizers and entrées. We love coming here and will be back. They made the special occasion even better.

    Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and the restaurant. Service was a bit slow and we had to ask for our server to take our order. I loved the lighting, ambience and the red snapper was excellent. We found the bbq shrimp good but the play on grits inside pasta pockets was a bit heavy. We would come back!

    Excellent well trained service staff stands out at Credence. A special request was communicated to the chef and flawlessly executed. The snapper was cooked to perfection. The deviled crabs were declared “best ever” by my wife. We will soon return (again).
