About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Owned and operated by the Teas family for over 15 years, Eugene's (formally Danton’s Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen), continues to serve Houston's finest Cajun-style Gulf Coast Cuisine. Conveniently located between Montrose and River Oaks. The restaurant is a neighborhood spot where everyone feels at home.

Join us in celebrating the flavors and traditions of the Gulf Coast in a charming, casual-fine dining atmosphere. All our dishes are made from scratch (except the Ranch dressing and Blue Bell ice cream) and our seafood and steaks are grilled over a wood-burning fire of oak and hickory. The freshest seafood, USDA certified beef steaks, delicious sides, daily specials, decadent desserts, wonderful wines, best martini’s in town and genuine Southern hospitality are a few of the things that will keep you coming back.

    All the dishes we had were done nicely. I had the crawfish étouffée, and while I think my grandmother's was better, this was very good. I'm from Louisiana. My wife enjoyed her trout, and my colleague visiting from Germany enjoyed the halibut. The raw oysters were very fresh. Our table did think they were larger than we get at most places.
