Brunch Beat Review

 

Our final brunch of 2005 was held here.  We were a party of about 12 people and they graciously seated us in a semi-private area at a very long table.  Our waiter was very attentive and the food was excellent.  We've actually been here twice and both times it has been wonderful.  My favorite brunch dish is the Steak Caruso with the two eggs.  

 

Food is ordered off the menu here and they do offer bottomless mimosas.  The atmosphere is subdued but outside seating is available; if you think you might want to get rowdy, this might not be the place for you. 

 

You must valet park your car.

 
This is a very sweet little place to have brunch.  The dining area is cozy so be sure to make your reservations in advance to be sure you get a table.  If the weather is pleasant, you'll want to sit outside.

The food is buffet style and includes breakfast type foods as well as some lunch items and soup.  They don't have bottomless mimosas but you do get one glass as part of the cost of your meal.  There is a charge for each glass after the first.

Since this restaurant is located in the Houston's old warehouse district, it is believed that a ghost resides here.  It likes to play with the lights and ice scooper.

This restaurant has a wonderful brunch menu.  You'll spend most of your time trying to choose among all the tasty dishes.  We had a really fun time here and loved our waiter.
 
If you're looking for an environment where you can be noisy and fun without bothering anyone, this is a great place to go. 

You order off the menu here and it's a really good menu, too.  I love their French Toast.  They also have true bottomless mimosas here.  You never see the bottom of your glass.

Wow, this place is really cool. It's located right in the heart of the Heights. 

The atmosphere is sort of art deco and the food is really reasonably priced.  If you're lucky, you'll get there on a beautiful day.  Then you can spend the rest of your afternoon shopping at all the antique stores in the area.

In the particular area that this restaurant  is located it's considered dry.  Not to worry, they have a system set up that allows you to order brunch drinks.  Their mimosas are not bottomless but they are very tasty.

   
 
This is a really nice upscale brunch venue.  The wait staff is very attentive and the food is fabulous.  The atmosphere is very conservative.  You may want to double check but we believe that we were able to get bottomless mimosas here.

This restaurant has one of the nicest outside seating areas in Houston.  You definitely want to come here when the weather as beautiful.  Even if it's a tad nippy outside, you'll be comfortable because they have space heaters strategically placed about the patio.

 

Be sure to make reservations because even on bad days this place is packing.  The food is marvelous and is ordered off the menu.  They offer a variety of unique brunch dishes. 

 
If your palate is craving something different and unique for brunch, this is the place to go.  You won't find traditional brunch dishes among their flavorful Mexican cuisine.

Owned by the same people who own Backstreet Cafe, this fine Mexican restaurant offers a variety of unique items for brunch. 

Be careful where you park; most streets in the area require permits to park.  The valet is reasonable.

Brunch Beat Review

   
Traditionally, for the young and adventurous, this has been "the place" in Houston to go for brunch.  A few years back the place burned to the ground and not too much later was resurrected.  The owner gave it a new look but kept the spirit of the previous establishment.

We concur that this is one of the best places in Houston to go for a festive, partying sort of brunch. 

Quaint old house with a patio set in the heart of Montrose.  Wide variety of food to select from.  Buffet style services but have lunch items available from the menu.  Perfect setting for any patron.

They don't take reservations so get there early.

The intimate environment of this cozy French provincial restaurant on the west side of Houston sets the stage for a memorable brunch.  The wait staff is attentive and the decor has a touch of elegance.  Brunch is ordered off the menu.
