    First time at Hearsay in The Woodlands! Creative cocktails! Great starters. I’m not a spinach and artichoke fan and I loved theirs, Spicy and great. Wedge salad was good, but not great, added steak and it was good! We had a party of 7 and everyone seemed to like their food. Value was excellent.

    When we first arrived, we didn’t have  reservations. The host told me that it would be 45 minutes for a table looking around. I saw numerous empty tables so we sat at the bar.  I went on to OpenTable and made reservations. Our arrival time was 106. The reservation time was 115 when the time came around, we went up to the hostess and said we have reservations. She walked us into the back and set us at a table. I don’t understand the 45 minute wait prior to me booking reservations while I was in the restaurant. I personally will not go back. I like the one downtown Houston on  traverse.

    Meatballs were cold they remade them and still cold. Server dropped the next order off and came back 15min later for us to tell her they are still cold and she made an excuse saying she took them from the window straight to our table but she dropped them and didn’t care to check to see if they were to our liking. She went back and did side work not checking her on our satisfaction with the second order of meatballs. Our entree sat in the window for 15-20min waiting for her to notice because she was doing side work visible to us. We are regulars here and James is normally our server he ensures anything that comes to our table is of the highest quality. It is the servers job to quality control the kitchen. First time not having James serve us in a very long time but I’m gonna start asking for him because all servers there are of the same mindset as he.

    My sisters and I went to Hearsay on The Waterway for brunch, and the food was amazing! We each ordered something different and ended up sharing bites off each other’s plates. We tried the Crème Brûlée French Toast, Short Rib Hash, Brunch Steak & Eggs, a side of grits, and a pineapple mimosa. Everything was so good! Our waitress was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I’m definitely planning to come back and try their dinner menu next time!

    First time eating here. Some of the drinks are expensive but food is great. Sat inside by bar. It was very noisy. Other than that we had a good time.

    Food was amazing, service was a little slow and inattentive when attempting to pay the bill. But otherwise would definitely return and enjoy the cocktails and food.
