    Brasserie 19 is at the Top of the Class of restaurants in Houston. It starts with their great leadership. Charles Clark the owner is the Best. He exhibits class and leads his team the same way. The restaurant staff treats the patrons with class. Michael Hoffman the Executive Chef spends time with the patrons and request feedback on the menu items. Personally, I eat the Confit Rabbit Hors D' Oeuvres before I order any meal. I've had almost every item on the menu, and they are all excellent. The wait staff are the finest in the city and the bar tenders are the some of best human beings i have ever been in the company of. I bring my clients, family and friends to Brasserie 19 and recommend it's brunch, lunch, dinner for any special occasion. A true Jewel in Our City. Keith Guillory Guillory Real Estate Group

    It was horrific! My reservation had been set for weeks. I invited some friends that had never been to B19 for the Aperol event. Preference was given to a “regular” behind us in the line to check in. We were seated quickly; however, my guests and I felt neglected for a few reasons. After almost 30 minutes, we had not received our drinks. We ordered from the promoted drink menu. We were provided the regular menu, so we requested the brunch menu. Understand that there were very long periods of time between visits from our server so it took a while to get the brunch menu. My guest preferred a drink from the brunch menu and asked how far along they were in preparing our drinks because she wished to change her order. We were told that the bar was really far behind and a manager had gone there to help, but each table that had been seated after us had received their drinks. A bottle of wine was being poured by our server at a table next to us. So much time had passed and all we had was water and bread. Eventually, we gave up and asked the hostess and server to cancel our orders. We left with no resolution and received a dynamic experience at A’bouzy. Unforgettable, we were not valued as customers at B19.

    Brasserie 19 is one of my favorites in Houston. The cuisine is incredible and prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail, reminding me of the days I studied in France. B-19 gets it right. The bar service is excellent if you're stopping by alone for drinks and a bite. For larger parties, the dining room and patio seating have wonderful ambiance. Owner Charles Clark is usually on site greeting guests and making them feel part of the B-19 family, whether they're first timers or regulars. Once you try B-19, you'll be back again and again.

    I made my reservation far in advance and the day we arrived, the hostess seated us at a dark corner table by the bathrooms. I asked if we could sit somewhere else and she said all of the outside tables have moved inside and they didn't have any other seating. Very disappointing as the reason I choose this place was the atmosphere in addition to the food. Why would I be seated at a lesser table because patrons who made out door reservations needed to seat inside due to weather. They should have gotten the table we had and we get the nicer table since I made resesrvations. I'm not sure I'll return or recommend, as it was very disappointing.

    Very popular place, apparently. We went for (what we thought would be) a nice date night, and bc we wanted some caviar. The place was way over crowded and very noisy - not so good for a date night. The food was excellent. We got the deviled eggs, caviar and chips, filet carpaccio, lamb and duck. Don't know about the other wait staff, but our server was very slow and not very good. He told us that the duck would come with steamed veggies - it came with potatoes. Said the lamb would come with risotto - it came with Israeli couscous. We didn't even get a food menu for about 10 minutes after we were seated. He took our drink order first and decided to put that in the system before he brought us our menus. But bc he couldn't figure out how to ring up the cocktail I ordered, it took him forever and then had to come back and ask what was it in. That shouldn't even matter to the waiter - all you do is turn the order into the bar and let the bartender figure it out! So the service was poor, but the food excellent; however, we could have gotten the same excellent food elsewhere with a better ambience.

    There were 6 of us. I shared with 1 other Lazy Lane Fries, Chicken Tenders, Caesar Salad. All 3 were excellent, although salad has too much dressing. Others had fish and chips and chicken sandwich which both looked great. Server Cynthia was excellent. This was lunch, so bar not crowded, and we the corner table in the southwest corner of the restaurant, so noise level was quiet.

    Horrible service. The food was okay but the service was very bad. The hosts don't even bother trying to seat you they just stand around and talk. Then you have to wait for forever just to try and order. They forget you exist they have an attitude. Overall very bad customer service. If you're looking for truly french cuisine, this is NOT the place for it.

    As always, our food was AMAZING! And the service was wonderful. We ordered raw oysters, seafood salad, filet, truffle fries and the fish special. All of the food was delicious. I do recommend asking for the market price of any fresh seafood prior to ordering as I was a bit shocked by the price of the raw oysters - $54 for 12 oysters seemed a bit high 😳, so in the future, I will ask for the price prior to ordering.

    We started with a beautiful mixed variety of East Coast oysters, and some of their not to be missed french rolls bread and butter! Less we not forget the fabulous champagne bottle that was so delicious we had to order a second! We split an order of the infamous trout almandine. We lingered a while to finish the second bottle of champagne, and it was the end to a perfect late afternoon on Easter Sunday!

    The moment we sat down to our 6:00 reservation a secondary hostess came to our table to let us know that there was a 7:15 reservation for our table. She repeated herself quite a few times but what I heard was hurry up and eat, we have people coming after you. It was an immediate turn off. If you want great French food and an amazing inviting establishment, try Etoile in Uptown Park. 5 stars.
