Hearsay Market Square

Second time here. The venue itself is cool - definitely worth stopping by for a drink. But the food is bad. They can barely pull off a decent appetizer much less an entree. They would be wise to trim the menu and focus on bar related fare. Definitely worth a drink before dinner but pass in this spot as a dinner option.

We arrived early for our reservation and they accommodated us with no problem! Would definitely recommend for date night or birthday parties!

The hostess was confused on our reservation. She sat us at the bar.

Had not visited in a while,and I don't know why. We had a wonderful experience, service was attentive, food was excellent atmosphere was great. Will definitely be back soon.

What a beautiful space. Close to the theaters so a great spot for a dinner before a show. It's small and can be noisy. But the food was really good and the service was friendly and efficient. A great night out.

Very enjoyable

The steak was a bit greasy

We had an absolutely fabulous girls night on a Saturday! We had a table upstairs that was absolutely perfect. We had some amazing food some absolutely flawless drinks and of course some laughs. Our server Vince went above and beyond with everything he did. He even gave us some tips on other places to go that night! We will definitely be back!

Our waiter was insightful and courteous. My date loved the atmosphere and chandelier. I wasn’t a big fan of the crab cakes nor Tuscan chicken, for it being my first time trying them. Other than that I enjoyed this place.

I loved being able to make a reservation online. And then, when our party was running late and I called to make a change, it was handled graciously and expeditiously. The waiter was cordial, helpful and efficient - always quick with meeting needs, but never hovering. The valet parking from the entrance was quick, smooth, and reasonable - $10, which was very helpful as we were attending a show at the Hobby Center afterwards. The restaurant might be a bit crowded for some people's tastes, but you won't be disappointed with the alcohol or food selection.

Great historic building. Server was nice attentive and quick. Food was delicious. Loved it! It was my first visit and I will definitely go back!

Absolutely love this place!! We loved the food and our waitress was the best!

The food is worth a return visit. The service was spotty.

Food was amazing! Space was beautiful! Staff complained about their jobs, the customers, and how disgusting the food was...

I haven't been here in about 8 years, and I'm glad to see it is still thriving. The lamb lollipops have long been my favorite and they didn't disappoint this time. Great room, terrific wine & cocktail list. list (they were doing craft cocktails before the rest of the world joined in).

One note, however - the place smelled a bit funky. Kinda like some meat had gone bad or something. They need to take care of that.

I enjoyed my birthday brunch here! Everyone worked as a team to keep everyone pleased.

One of my favorite restaurants in Houston! Great atmosphere and outstanding food!

Love the architecture of the place. Good variety on the menu. Well made cocktails. Our waitress, Summer, was very friendly and helpful.

The decor and ambiance was terrific. The history of the building was so unique and the staff enjoyed telling the story to us.

Overall....the experience was great! Service, however, was not. We were seated at 7:03, by 7:15, our server still had not made an appearance. I asked for our server, and FINALLY, at 7:27, someone came to our table to take our drink orders. Otherwise, the food was great, and the drinks were exceptional!

We decided to visit Hearsay before a show at Jones Hall. Hearsay is a cool restaurant with a great vibe, but the service that evening was pretty bad. The server told us he'd be with us shortly, but he didn't return for another 10 minutes. When asked the catch of the day, he didn't know. We ordered our food and drinks, and when the food arrived, it was lukewarm. My wife ordered the spinach and tomato stuffed chicken that was quite tasty (not hot), but the server got the sides incorrect. He later brought out the risotto that she ordered, but she was already halfway done with her meal (the risotto was decent, but not worth it IMO). My pork chop was tasty, but then again, not hot. Instead of sides, I ordered a tasty wedge, but the server didn't provide me a steak knife or offer cracked pepper. When my normal knife wasn't cutting it, I had to go find my waiter and ask for a steak knife, and had to find a pepper mill on my own.

When we asked for the check, the server then told us about a great promotion for cheap flights to Hawaii (weird).

Overall, I'd go back to hearsay for drinks, but the service on this visit really affects my opinion of the restaurant. I have no plans to visit again any time soon because of this experience. However, it doesn't mean I won't return in the near future.

Headed to Jones Hall for a concert. This place has excellent food and a good bar tender. Close walk to all downtown venues.

Excellent service , superb cocktails and yummy food :p

I am sure it was just a bad day. The food was lukewarm when served and our server was rather flaky and unfocused.

The food was great. Good environment. Might need a bit more wait staff at times but overall a great restaurant.

This was my fifth or so visit to this restaurant. Previous experiences have been good. This experience rather disappointing. Had a reservation at 6 pm for two for ore-show dining. Restaurant not full at all when we arrived. Hostess took us upstairs where more then 12 tables were vacant and seated us next to the bar and within a arm’s reach of a busing station. We asked to be reseated and she gave a much better location. Menus and water service were o prompt. Then we waited. Three other parties came in after us and had drinks before we saw our server. I finally walked over to get the bartender’s attention. Then, the sever came over promptly. She was friendly and attentive once she took the drink order.
We order the corn soup - so salty we could not eat it. It was not taken off the bill. The mahi mahi tacos very fresh and tasty. Perfect for sharing. Also ordered lamb lollipops - super fatty - was able to get only 1 or 2 bites off of them that did not contain fat. Ordered sides of Gouda Mac and cheese which was dry and looked as if it had been sitting for a long time. Asparagus was cooked and seasoned nicely.
Will return to this spot because it is a good place for pre-theatre dining but this experience was overall disappointing.

the Astro's World Series game was on the TV and the crowd was enthused !! the food was really good and diverse in choices and flavor combos. A great choice for a casual but classy dinner

Food was delicious and service was decent. What ruined the experience was hostest came to our table and told us we had to leave because they had a reservation for our table, but their were 15 open tables in the restaurant. I could a hostest doing that if the restuarant was full but it was not. Which makes the experience go from an 8.5 to a 2.75 - 3.

We had an amazing time. The ambiance was great and our server was on top of everything...even during the Astros game (Altuve homerun)! We made reservations to ensure we had good seating but were running late. The hostess was very accommodating and easy to work with.

Def suggest this location over the one that is closer to the Toyota Center.

We had a great dinner at Hearsay Market Square. The drinks, food and service (Anthony was the best!) we all outstanding.

You have to have the burger here at this location!!!! My favorite burger downtown Houston. Yum.

Overall very good but bar service was slow.

It was dirty. My menu was sticky. The table was dirty as well. The floor was sticky also. If what you can see is this dirty I hate to see what kitchen is like. Total turn off. Would not recommend.

We really enjoyed Hearsay Market Square! The drinks were excellent and the bartender was great! We loved sitting at the bar watching the Astros, but it would be good for any sports watching. The burgers are excellent, as well as the sides.

21 Birthday for our daughter

Really great Southern Burger! Best burger that I can recall!

This place has been talked about so much by my friends that I had really high expectations. So I came here with an out of town friend, and that was a big mistake. It was ear-deafening loud from a live musician. We eventually asked them to turn it down and they did. The other issue is that the tables are like a foot or less apart. We just so happened to have this extremely loud group of women next to us and then with another group on the other side of us talking, I really felt claustrophobic and it was honestly hard to think and talk with so much around us.

Then the food. So they brought our cheese board before the wine. They just set it down and ran off without telling us anything about it or asking if we needed anything. We had to sit for many minutes staring at it before we could flag someone down to ask for plates and where our wine was.

There is also the $10 valet charge. Overall I feel like there are so many amazing places in Houston, I can’t ever see myself coming here. I felt so regretful of bringing my friend here who I rarely see.

The service was very poor. Apparently the servers did not show up for work and they were trying to use a buss boy as a server. Probably a much better place when their people show up for work.

The food was great (as usual) but our waiter was super inattentive. We had to ask for a drink menu after about 20 mins of being seated and only saw her about 2 times during our dinner. We’ve come here many times & often bring out of town friends. The service was pretty disappointing this time.

The building was breath-taking!! Food was great and the service wonderful!! We would make that choice again!!
