Straits - HoustonSpotty service, good food.Love the couches outside under the canopies. Always a breeze and it feels exclusive. Black Pepper Crab? Awesome,finger-licking good. Oysters on the half shell? Blah. Bring on the horseradish, baby. Waiter needs a little seasoning and an enthusiasm injection. The best thing of all? Wait for it......... the Cucumber Basil Gin Martini! Awesome summer evening libation! Worth the 12 smackers!6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMStraits is superb!The setting was well rounded with beautiful outside dining, romantic inside nooks that have closing curtains for more privacy, a stylish bar and tables for general dining. The noise level hit moderate, making it possible to blend in while conversing but also hear everyone at your table clearly. I hadnt known when choosing the restaurant that the food was singaporean, but upon reading the menu , excitement kicked in and it didnt matter, everything was interesting and delicious. Would definitely eat here again.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMwent with the tuna tower andwent with the tuna tower and chicken satay. was interested in the balck pepper lobster but a bit too pricey. food was good and service was very good. would go back and try different options as menu had a number of items that looked tasty5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was my first visit toThis was my first visit to Strait's and I was pleased! The food had great presentation and was equally delicious! Our server was very friendly, attentive and helpful! I did find a piece of metal in my fried rice...which I'm glad that I saw and did not eat...not sure how it got there, but I do want the chefs to be aware that this happened. Otherwise, the experience was awesome and I will visit again. Thanks! :)4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMAll went well. First timeAll went well.

Took my boyfriend for his 30th birthday and ended staying out from 7pm dinner to 2am party was over. The neighborhood was amazing and the drink menu was one of a kind. It was moderately priced but worth every penny!! We will definitely visit again!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistent & very goodBusiness lunch, including one "less adventruous" diner. Chic & stylish decor, chic young waitresses. Appetizers are always a hit - Chicken lollipops and Samosas. Ordered the Street Noodles - good, but not amazing. I've eaten here ~10 times so some of the novelty is starting to wear off, but it's still a reliably tasty meal.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMNever disappointedNeve disappointed with the food or service!
