1751 Sea and Bar

First time at 1751.amd we are impressed! Food is excellent, service for a top notch and the prices are reasonable. Inhad the Seared Tripletail and it was perfectly done, and perfectly seasoned. Served over q lightly curried bed of rice noodles containing peqs, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and scallions na, I thought the chef must surely be Thai! It was excellent. Hubby had the Tom Yum Seafood soup that was also excellent.and.similar.to soups we've had in Singapore. We will be back!

The food was amazing and the service was right up there! I can’t say which one was better because we were highly impressed with both. Keep it up!

Loved the numerous small plate selections;had several and they were all excellent.
Big improvement over the previous seafood restaurant in the same location.

This is a must visit! The food is amazing and don't forget to get a dessert!

Solid place. Will defiantly go back

Te restaurant was very crowded and they obviously did not have enough waitstaff as one of the managers was delivering did to tables. Our server was slow. I asked if the bartender make a good grapefruit martini and if not, I’d have a Cosmo. The waiter brought a grapefruit martini which was so terrible, I could not drink it and sent it back.

Unfortunately the food was fairly hit or miss. Some items were outstanding (crab cake), but others completely missed mark (Tom yum hot pot).

Food arrived at the table a good fifteen minutes before drinks, even a glass of water.

Overall the experience was ok, but will not be traveling out of the way to patronize again.

Impeccably cooked food. The different delicacies of the sea were tasted and OH MY! Fresh, tender, and tasty. Our best to the chef(s). Christine was our waitress for the evening and she made it a very enjoyable experience. Thank you 1751 Sea and Bar for a wonderful dining experience. We will return.

Loved the decor the cocktails and the food was excellent. Service was polite and knowledgeable about their menu. Noise level was high and reservation time was not met but still highly recommend this restaurant

Fantastic. They catered to every detail of our special occasion.

Excellent seafood oriented restaurant
Good bar and wines
Knowledgeable service
Very enjoyable

Great meal and cocktails, highly recommend.

Went for the first time for Valentine’s Day. Great first impression with hostesses! Amazed by the bar area feel! The dinner tables and chairs looked cheaper than the rest of the contemporary and upscale feel of the bar areas. For a few minutes, concerned that I had made a mistake and forgot all the positive reviews. Once the waitress Pierce arrived things improved. She was friendly and informative. Cocktails and service were very good! Dinner was very good as well. Fresh!!! Loved it!
They have a good thing going here, but please refresh and update the dinner table and chairs.

Great location! Love Monday’s Happy Hour with $1 oysters. My favorite is the lobster spring roll. Great drinks and service!

The food & service are outstsnding. I really loved the crab cakes that really weren’t crab cakes. I had the sable fish as an entree and it was great. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the citrus pavlova.

We were celebrating a friend's birthday and I informed the hostess when confirming reservations. The waiter did not acknowledge the celebration. He took our order for drinks and food. When the food arrived, we were not told what was on the charcuterie board. The waiter came by and told us when we asked. That was the last time we saw the waiter until he came by and asked if we wanted desert. He never came by and asked if we wanted another round of drinks or how was the food. We probably would have ordered 2 more rounds. I could just add it up to him being a bad waiter, but he was all over the table next to us. We did not order any desert and paid our bill. A few of us went to the bar and order drinks and desert. We had a lot better service there. I will give this place another try, because we saw other waiters and waitresses giving great service to their tables.

Attentive staff. Prompt and delicious food. Creative menu seems like a Thai Asian seafood fusion: Server was nice, could’ve added more adjectives when we asked what he liked. Everything was “very, very good” as he described... but it actually was.
It was my birthday and they acknowledged with a candle in our dessert that was complimentary. Extended happy hour on Mondays is awesome. Would definitely recommend!

Anniversary

I am annoyed when your table is not ready for your reservation time. Otherwise a nice evening with good food and service.

We have eaten at previous restaurants in this space, and the incompetent valet parking remains an issue. I wish the restaurant could make a deal with the rest of the shopping center to allow self parking in the large lot. That said, this was a very fun restaurant for our party of 7. The charcuterie board was fantastic, and we would order it again. The hotpot was a fabulous shared dish. I thoroughly enjoyed my simply seared snapper, and there were other menu items I'd like to try on a return trip.

The overall experience was awesome, our waiter is the best and the food and drinks never disappoint.

Seafood tower was awesome. Cocktails were tasty. Dessert was delish. Service was great.

1751 has made my wife a fan of gin and we have never been disappointment with the cocktails. I had the scallops (cooked perfectly) from the simply fish menu with a wedge salad and my wife ordered the tuna carpaccio, but the umami oysters and blue crab hoe cakes were the stars of the evening meal.

This was a real foodie treat. There were 6 people in our party and everyone had a fabulous meal. Not only great seafood but the wagyu beef and pork belly appetizers were great as well. A little pricey but worth it.

Everything was great excellent! Food, service, stemware, food portions, etc...

My party and I had a wonderful dinner celebrating a birthday. The service was phenomenal. We waited for a free extra minutes before getting seated despite having reservations, but it was very quick. They were nice to give us some starters on the house!

The food was outstanding! We had the Texas wood grilled oysters and they were to die for. The crispy red snapper was equally as great. Highly recommend!

Never going back there again. Extremely rude personnel , especially the main hostess. We had to ask for the manager to solve the issue because she wouldn’t listen and even walked away as we were talking to her.
We were also charged for drinks we didn’t order. We were a party of 6 on a Saturday night. Maybe, they thought, we wouldn’t see the error!!! Beware.

Every small plate that we had was excellent! We made an 8pm reservation and did not have to wait at all when we walked in. Our waiter was very nice and enjoyed suggesting certain items on the menu.

We arrived 45 minutes early to take advantage of good happy hour specials and were seated immediately. Food was delicious and service was attentive. Would highly recommended the restaurant itself. Valets blocked off adjacent parking spaces. Had to park in strip center across the street.

Great dining experience in all ways!

Great seafood and small plates to share. Wonderful evening. It did seem a tad under staffed.

Love this place - great service, interesting menu with a lot of specials.
Wine & cocktail list fantastic as well
One of Houston's hidden gems

The ambiance was warm and very inviting. I was a bit frustrated once I learned that there was not a TV at the bar but that was quickly forgotten after being seated at the Ice Bar and greeted by the server. After learning a bit about our palate, he recommended a couple of smooth gin drinks. We ordered the Texas Wood Grilled Oysters, Lobster Spring Rolls, and the Blistered Shishito Peppers. We were then surprised with a few additional dishes on the house (Apple Ginger Hamachi, Blue Crab Hoe Cakes, and Poke). The second round of gin recommendations were as good as the first! All aspects of the experience were top notch and we would recommend to anyone who desires a variety of innovative seafood preparations and a knack for creative cocktails.

We made reservations for dinner after the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Of course we received excellent service. The food is great there.

A bit noisy but the service was great and the food was very good.

We finished holiday shopping early and arrived for our reservation nearly an hour early. We were prepared to stand and enjoy the amazing gin drinks until our table was ready but were able to sit at the seafood bar right away. The seafood bar is where it’s at! We got to sample a couple things we didn’t even order. The fish quality is superb and the flavor even better. This was not our first time to 1751, but each time keeps getting better & better. Must try the lobster rolls, crudo, and rabbit w/mushroom ravioli + white truffle 😋

Food was great, but was too expensive. 4 people $500.00?

A few thoughts. This is a very loud restaurant, so don’t think that you are going to have an intimate conversation. Not going to happen. Service was exceptional. The man behind the raw bar area was fantastic. He gave us a few samples and sold! We purchased another item from the menu. He epwas better than any sales person at CostCo! The waitress was great, though she could have used a course in alcoholic beverages. That was not her strong suit.

Seafood is expensive, so that said this is not going to be a cheap meal. Superb selections! My favorites by far are the yellowfin in the toro sauce and the cucumbers. Both are fantastic!

We dined on a Monday, which is traditionally a slow night for restaurants, so it was fairly empty. My husband ordered one of each of the oysters as Monday they are half off. He very much enjoyed the oysters. We ordered the calamari, which was fantastic. We also ordered the blue crab hoe cakes, they were simply ok. One nice thing is there was a lot of crab. Otherwise they were not very memorable. Lastly, we ordered the redfish on the half shell. It was ok, but it had a lot of cajun spice on it, I could have done with about half the amount that was on it. The collard greens were not very memorable. My husband ordered the Pirate's Buckle gin & tonic drink which we both liked very much. Overall, I would say I'm glad I tried the restaurant, but I don't know that I'll be rushing back or recommending it to anyone in the future. My photos are too large format to include.
