Philippe Restaurant + LoungeGood Times and Great FoodWe were celebrating with friends and enjoyed every moment from our drinks in the lounge to the service and food at the table. Our waiter Oscar lived up to previous ratings and was expert in providing flawless service. The food was great from the appetizer sampler, the onion soup and the steak tartar. We ordered several fish dinners and all were flawless. The desert was the best Grand Marnier souffle we every had. I have traveled world wide and would rate this restaurant among the world's best. Open table had arrangements for flowers service that did not deliver--shame shame. Open Table should dissociate or fix the problem today!5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGood night and very accomodativeSo, I had an important business dinner and somehow made the reservation for the wrong night. Although we did not have a reservation, they fit us in. Great service, very good food, and nice atmosphere. A little loud for our purposes, but not distracting.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMExceptional Service, Gourmet DelighExcellent service. Several persons (hostess, bartender & 2 waitpersons) all acknowledged the special occasion submitted as a remark with my reservation. Modern decor. Extensive wine list and gourmet menu items. Especially liked their charcuterie tray (Phil's Special), despite not quite (on first serving) of their delicious wheat baguette.2nds were promptly heated, sliced, and served!4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMUnexpected ExcellenceI can not tell you how impressed I was with the food options and the quality of our choices. This was totally unexpected. If you have a chance to go to Philippe Restaurant, RUN don't Walk. The food was exquisite as was the service and the second floor dining room. Each and every dish could have been a suprise. What we were able to finish was some of the finest, most innovative tastes and presentations that I have seen in a long time. While that may be just my humble opinion, and it is, I travel with work every other week nationally in major cities and am able to eat at some of the newest and best restaurants in the country. This type of praise is rarely offered. BRAVO4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first time toThis was our first time to Philippe, and every aspect of our experience was perfect. We were seated promptly, treated well by all the staff, and most importantly our food and drinks were great. The crowd was young-ish and the prices were low-ish. We'll definitely be back.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the place,the atmosphere,theLove the place,the atmosphere,the service. The food was very good,but it could have been excellent. Will be back though.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service was very good.The service was very good. We were celebrating a birthday but decided not to order dessert. However we were served a delicious platter of individual sweets (for which we were not charged). That was a very pleasant surprise. When I checked the bill I noticed that I had not been charged for my vodka cocktail. I told the waiter, and he came back to the table with the same bill and said that honesty pays. My guest and I were quite impressed. Each time that this has happened at other restaurants they have always charged for the drink. I will definitely return .4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat restaurant, great food & wineThis is a great restaurant with outstanding food, a fine wine list and attentive service. We celebrated my wife's birthday and the staff went out of their way to make us feel appreciated. We enjoyed the evening.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMust go2nd visit a year later and just as good as first visit. Not too expensive as you may expect. Great service; friendly but not intrusive.

The manager greeted us and was able to get us a secluded table away from the rest of the guest so we could enjoy our night.

Responsive and diligent yet none invasive.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMIt is great --- I love theIt is great --- I love the food and creativity of it.....3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMI don't normally write reviews...I don't normally write reviews... And I do a lot of dining out. I would definitely rank Philippe among one of the finest places I have experienced in Houston. Try the garden variety martini. Possibly better than the Pliny's Tonic from Anvil.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMcool atmosphere. the scallopscool atmosphere. the scallops were amazing. fantastic wine list. our server was extremely helpful with the menu and wine list. a great find. highly recommend.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ExperienceThouroughly enjoyed the whole exeperience, from the great cocktails, to the great food to the great wine list.

Definitely a must try place.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMKeep It UpI have eaten at Philippe's on several occasions and they never disappoint. The food and service are outstanding. We invited some friends to dinner this past weekend and everyone remarked on the food. Hope they keep up the excellent quality and service.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMI took my boyfriend to Philippe'sI took my boyfriend to Philippe's for his birthday. I made the reservation in advance and the hostess offered personalized menus which I thought would be a nice touch and of course a birthday dessert. I requested a booth and we got that, but there were no personalized menus. When I asked about it the hostess advised me that they "don't do those anymore" which was surprising to me because I'd confirmed that the day before. Then the birthday dessert never came out. I spoke with the manager about my experience as this was my first time dining here and was very pleased with how Chris chose to resolve the matter. He apologized and offered to bring out the dessert along with free cocktails in the lounge for the remainder of the evening.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMWe always have a good timeWe always have a good time at Philippes.
