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.

    The food and service was great! For an appetizer, we had the crab stuffed jalapeños and they were good and flavorful! I tried a cup of crab and corn bisque and it was good as well! It was full of crabmeat! For my main dish I had the stuffed shrimp and my wife has the grilled snapper topped with crabmeat. The quality of the food was top notch and the ingredients are fresh. Our server Jennifer was awesome! Next time we go, we will ask for her. I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Has a decent atmosphere, old fashioned western style of decor. Food was well prepared and nicely served by Marcus who kept us both informed and entertained. We also enjoyed being singled out and treated to a souvenir photo while wearing a cowboy hat and handkerchief to hang around our necks. It was a pleasant surprise for our 20th anniversary. And dessert was on the house to boot.

    Such a disappointment to see the decline in the taste of the food here. Following Mockingbird, when Eugene first opened, it was a thrill to have a quality seafood restaurant. I’m not sure what happened, but that is no longer. The service and staff are all very nice. The location and atmosphere continue to be great as well.

    Our first time in the new location. The food was excellent. The stuffed redfish and the courtabullion were standouts. We will be back.
