lovely warm atmosphere to enjoy some inventive yet unfussy food. the tomato toast was an absolute stand out with perfect summer tomatoes cooked until jammy. other highlights included the snapper – so tender and flaky. service was excellent – the waiters know what they are talking about and attentive without being overbearing. next time would love to sit at the bar and get to see the action in the kitchen. only soft critiques are that the prices on the wine menu can be a little eye watering and some dishes lean sweet (the hearty greens, the onions in the mung bean crepe, the slightly over the top richness of the butter cake) but that’s probably just my palate. was a fantastic first visit and would love to come back and try more, especially as the menu rotates.

Celebration dinner at Theodore Rex. Finally able to take a night to ourselves to be thankful for our new house. As we moved in we both were really sick for weeks. We’ve had T.Rex on our radar before we even moved. It really was good.

This place is pretty good. Have been waiting a while to try this spot and finally got a chance to try it. The service is awesome but the food left a bit to be desired. We had essentially the whole menu:

We basically ate everything on the menus except 4 items. Service was awesome. We got to eat in the little side room, which was so cozy. It was a little cold but nothing a sweater couldn’t fix. The food was really good but a tad overpriced. Overall a great dinner.

Its reputation is well deserved. Well considered & finely executed dishes with exemplery service. Desserts are not an afterthought, particularly the Panna Cotta.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and coziness. Fantastic service. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the kitchen staff assemble such creative dishes. Food was lovely. My only recommendation would be to offer a few decent wines at a more moderate price point.

My experience at Theodore Rex was perfect. The hospitality I felt in my first five minutes was already better than most restaurants I visit. The food at Theodore is amazing. The only thing that’s odd is how unassuming each dish looks when you’re first presented it. You might have the best dumplings you’ve ever had, a solid white chicken breast or a crepe that leaves you wondering what’s inside. It’s hard to judge at first glance but this was some of the best food I’ve had in Houston and most likely some of the best I’ve had recently. I wish I could take better pictures because I don’t think I did the dishes justice.

We started off in the private room, which was super quaint and fun but we were cut off from the rest of the restaurant. So we opted to sit at the bar, which we loved because we got to watch the chefs prepare everything. The menu changes seasonally and I had forgotten to do this post so non of these items are on the menu anymore, but they were absolutely delicious! Can’t say enough about how much flavor and unique tastes we experienced in each bite. The staff is wonderful and with the chefs help explain everything they out into each dish so you understand how it was prepared and what you are eating. One of my top 5 restaurant experiences in Houston. Very small venue so make a reservation ahead of time.
