Brasserie 19Our entrees were delicious.Our entrees were delicious. Three different choices of fish. The wine was excellent and priced just slightly above retail. Very good experience and will be back as soon as possible. Bette5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMNice Sunday brunch spot!Had a very nice Sunday brunch at Brasserie 19 with 4 friends. Had savory crepes with a side of fresh fruit. Friends had quiche of the day and the BLT. All 4 of them had a lobster bisque as their starter. Food was very good! They brought out small loaves of bread hot from the oven. Loved the hot, freshly baked bread! Service was great. The restaurant was less than half full when we got there. We made a reservation and it was good we did because the place was packed! Definitely would go back again.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AM2nd timeIt was a second time for me. Had same waiter from previous visit and he was awesome as the last visit. Great service and great mussels and French pressed coffee. Can't complain. Thank you.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMI will definitely go back!I wanted to order most everything off of the menu in one sitting! GREAT food, GREAT service, you can order a bottle of wine or champagne and take with you what you don't drink! I LOVE this place and plan on going back again and again!5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect for couples!My girlfriend and I had been talking about visiting this restaurant but heard that service was slow and I took too long to get a table. I mae a reservation, arrived 10 min before and got my table right away. Service was awesome, food incredible and the wine list is impressive.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMWhen its good its fantastic!I have had the best steak in Houston here- although there have been several evenings where the food was just ok. Certainly the best looking women in Houston gather here. Service is ok. Wine selection is phenomenal and with excellent prices for the better wines.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGood as alwaysThis is the 5th time I have gone to this restaurant and it has been great as always. I arrived up late into the night almost before closing. My server gave me great service not caring that I had arrived almost at closing time.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWineloversDespite Sunday being Mothers day the restaurant did a wonderful job on a very busy day. Starters were outstanding as is the wine list.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMTakes some getting used toIf the intent here is to serve "authentic" French food, one must get use to well done fish, and somewhat odd twists on taste for such things as lobster bisque, onion soup, and escargot. Knowing the otherwise practically perfect performance at owners other spots, I'll give them some rope. Great service and wine list with best prices in town.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAn ideal Mother's Day experienceEnjoyed a late Mother's Day brunch here, and very happy with the entire experience. The brunch menu is extensive, quite a refreshing change from the usual prix fixe dreck that comprises the usual holiday brunch offerings elsewhere. My steak frites was cooked to medium rare perfection, accompanied by exceptional truffle fries that were the hit of the table. Pain perdu was just sweet enough without being cloying, and had just the right level of custardy saturation. Daughters loved the croque madame and savory crepes, well seasoned yet still friendly to less than sophisticated palates. and our server was one of those who adds to the dining experience with her knowledge and energy. Overall, a truly excellent choice for a special day.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFantasticFantastic - Great food and great service. Very nice wine list that is not overpriced.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMA+!Great service, great food, and great atmosphere. Thank you for a great Friday night!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMMy experience was very good.My experience was very good. The food and wine were excellent. It was extremely crowded even the outside patio. Our server did a fine job even with a full house. The manager sent out a delicious strawberry shortcake desert.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyable Anniversary DinnerBrasserie 19 is a fabulous neighborhood gem! My husband and I love to have brunch here. It's so close to home and I absolutely love the decor and delicious food. We decided to have dinner here for our Anniversary and it was so lovely. Our waiter was fantastic and made our dining experience very pleasurable. He managed to find a perfect half bottle of champagne that has now become my new favorite (Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial Rose)! Thank you to Brasserie 19 for always meeting and exceeding my expectations! :)5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMMy first time. A very enjoyableMy first time. A very enjoyable lunch.

Next time I'm in Houston, I will be coming here again.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMNice restaurant with a good wine liWe went on a rare romantic dinner, this place has the ambience for one but still not perfect for the absolute romance setting. It is however perfect on the service, waiter was extremely knowledgable on wine and food which we are very picky on. Went for the seafood platter and some appetizers, truly great with a great bottle of wine to go along4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious food in a relativelyDelicious food in a relatively short time. I loved the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice as well. Will definitely be going back.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMTables are crammed too closelyTables are crammed too closely together but otherwise a great experience.

We sat outdoors on a fine spring evening and had a wonderful time.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMMy New Favorite Restaurant!This was my first time dining here and I loved it! The service was outstanding, the food amazing and the wine list is well priced. They don't add a huge mark up on the wine list. Every item on the menu sounded delicious and I finally settled on the beignets starter and the bouillabaisse. The beignets were a unique combination of fluffiness and richness. The bouillabaisse was simple but delicious. And don't miss the fresh warm bread! I will be back and it will be soon!4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMService, Food and Atmosphere GreatGreat experience at B19, as always. This place has consistently great food and drinks, and a lively atmosphere, which make it a great choice for dining alone, with friends, or with business associates. Having said that, the service is probably the reason I visit this restaurant so frequently.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMHad been before for lunchHad been before for lunch but not dinner. Was happy to find that the service and food are just as good when the restaurant is packed. Had an enjoyable meal, with great service and good wine. The bar scene is energetic, so if you're looking for a quiet meal, ask to be seated on the restaurant side that is away from the bar. We'll definitely be back.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always very friendly serviceAs always very friendly service and good ambiance. Unbeatable wine list and very competitive pricing.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMMy birthday lunch. AbsolutelyMy birthday lunch. Absolutely spectacular. Lazy Lane frites rule!

The food and service were outstanding.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMExceptional serviceThis is my favorite restaurant in town. We've never had a bad experience here. This time the hostess and manager at the front really impressed us. We walked in and the scene was lively. Despite the confusion at the front we were immediately greated by the pleasant hostess and offered to be escorted to our table. The hostess was rudely interrupted by another patron who was claiming he hadn't made up his mind about that table. This was awkward for us and for the hostess. She walked back to the hostess table and discreetly whispered the issue into the manager's ear. Without hesitation the manager apologized to the other patron and informed him the table had been offered to a reservation, us! Awesome! Thank you so much, manager and hostess!4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMI had never had brunch here,I had never had brunch here, just lunch and dinner. While there wasn't a huge selection of breakfast items, my garden omlette was great as was the pastry tray we had first.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMBusy. Recommend a reservation.Busy.

It was hard to cary on a conversation in a normal tone of voice.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMThis restaurant delivers superbThis restaurant delivers superb food every time!! The raw bar, octopus , and grilled market fish are the dishes that bring me back every few weeks. Sydney makes the best manhattan in town. Mmmm mmmm3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMAbsolutely everything on theAbsolutely everything on the menu was exquisite; except, I was not fond of their tuna tartar. Maybe because I am more used to a blend of things along with the tuna, rather than a lump of just raw tuna on my plate. Drinks, lobster, escargot, brie, and others were simply exquisite. The staff was very attentive.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMMust try!Impeccable service (ask for William if he's working) and really fun atmosphere. Must try the escargot to start, and the duck is absolutely divine! From start to finish - the ease of booking our table, great parking and, of course, the dining experience - I'll most certainly return very soon!!1/22/2013 12:00:00 AMFood always is outstanding.Food always is outstanding. Room is beautiful. And we can walk from our River Oaks home.12/24/2012 12:00:00 AMStick with the wine & food - NO barSteak and frites excellent. Quail outstanding. Wine very reasonable but cocktails overpriced. Bar did not have a clue as to how to make a DRY Manhattan and the ' frivolous' attempt cost me $12 - UGH!!12/14/2012 12:00:00 AM
