Costa Brava Bistro

Great as always!

Always exceptional in service and food, cozy ambiance.

The food was delicious and the service was outstanding.

We had a table for 6. The food was beautifully presented, upscale version of authentic, and good value. Only negative was bottle of bubbly we ordered was barely above room temperature, but the waiter then put it in the freezer for us. We were very pleased that the portions were not oversized, but instead perfectly adequate to enable the enjoyment of more than one course. We shared multiple appetizers and multiple desserts: we especially recommend the cheese course for dessert. The black rice as a main was a stand-out, as was the stuffed piquillo peppers for appetizer. We will definitely go back.

Wonderful cozy atmosphere with amazing tasting food.....every visit is a gastronomic pleasure...yummy.

always great.

The service and food was very good. I will visit this restaurant again.

Our dining experience was wonderful. We’ve been going to Costa Brava for a number of years. Always an interesting menu, quality service and great wines.

Excellent experience and dinner. Food was great, with a Spanish flair!

Worth trying

We enjoyed our meals very much. The service was fine. It is a small and relatively crowded restaurant
as the tables are close together.

Dinner was great, deserts were just ok and coffee was weak.

Great service and waiter was very attentive
The wine list does not include wines at reasonable prices!!

Great meal. Personable service. A gem.

Invariably a great place for fine food and reliably good wine in an atmosphere that allows for good conversation. Genial but not intrusive service is an important part of the restaurant's success.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there last night with our 2 little girls. My youngest had the Australian Lamb chops and she loved❤ it so much, leaving only 1 piece left for her sister, me and husband to taste. 😍 My 2nd daughter had the Beef Fillet and she also loved it! She said the mashed potato with manchengo is perfect! My husband had the 12oz Grilled Hereford Ribeye. 😍😍😍 Yummm He ate it ALL!! LOL I was debating on the Grilled Rainbow Trout & Jumbo Shrimp or the Seared Red Gulf Snapper and ended up with the Trout! DELISH!!! 😋😍😋 The staff was great and the food was remarkablel!!
Thank you for the wonderful experience!!!

Very nice place, food was amazing

Exquisite food. Delicate with very sophisticated flavors.

Then onto the special appetizer of Piccadillo peppers stuffed with Serrano in a pimiento sauce Amazing
The. As an entire we shared the house Paella
Shared a great Spanish Rioja and life is good!!!
Definitely going back to this one !!!

Superior quality of food, cooking techniques, ambiance, service, but noisy.

Anthony took great care of us. Food was amazing (shrimp and scallops with risotto, and filet with onion rings), cooked to perfection with wonderful mixtures of flavors and textures for the palate. A wonderful culinary experience!

This is a wonderful, cozy restaurant in the heart of Bellaire! We love it, the food and wine are excellent!

We had dinner at Costa Brava Halloween night. There were very few diners so it was very quiet. The menu and wine list include a lot of interesting choices focussing on Spanish food. Our salads were very good and my wife's suckling pig entree was excellent. I had the octopus. The octopus was tender and delicious but, in my opinion somewhat drowned in olive oil. However we had a very enjoyable dinner and look forward to returning.

Food was delicious as always!

Costa Bravo Bistro is always spot on for a fabulous lunch or dinner experience. The staff is professional, courteous and willing to ensure a wonderful experience.

Very good food, especially good service — prompt, pleasant, professional, helpful, fun — in a nice comfortable atmosphere. An excellent experience, one we definitely look forward to repeating!

One of the best restaurants in Houston

I always enjoy the food and service. The server accidentally added an appetizer that we didn’t have to our bill and we paid without checking. I called when I got home and they immediately took it off of our credit card.

Our first time was great, would absolutely go back. Nice wine, interesting food options. Not expected at all.

Very accodating service-fabulous Ribeye and Scallops

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent everything. Easy, free parking. The trout dish was superb, the jamon delicious. We will be back.

Wonderful entrees from Spain and France. Service extraordinaire. A true gem. Both owners meet and greet the patrons.

My wife and I went on our monthly date, and tried this place for the first time. Sometimes we like share the food we order, from our appetizers to the main course. We were surprised that at this place you cannot share your main dish with your date. So each of us had to order, even if we were not that hungry. We order the paella, and the flavor was not authentic, like you usually expect from a Spanish restaurant.The sangria was good, but the food was not the best.The prices are high, and the atmosphere is okay. We probably will not go back.
Thanks

A Houston favorite, every time. A great place to catch up with friends.

Costa Brava has been our ‘go to’ restaurant in Bellaire ever since they opened a few years ago.
The location is perfect, the food is excellent and the service is absolutely superb, all while the prices are reasonable.
We love the salpicon de marisco (seafood salad - not exactly certain I spelled it correctly) as appetizer, greatly enjoy their paella or their mussels, love to taste the red snapper and the steak.
And then, the specials are usually things that you can’t find any place else in town. The suckling pig - stuffed peppers and the lamb are delicious.
Have to mention that the owners are extremely nice and always present making sure everyone is having a very enjoyable experience.
We very highly recommend it.

Incredible meal with authentic ingredients and meticulous preparation. Great wine list. Excellent service. Highly recommend.

Overall Costa Bravais one of the best and most aprasivel bistros in town/ Highly recomended

We went here for a couples dinner. Great food and ambiance. Portion size was a bit on the small side.

We have been there three times and the food and the service has been consistently very good
Highly recommend

All was up to usual standards of excellance in food and service.

We also love to be at CB. The specials are always interesting and hard to resist.
