    Waitress was occupied with apparent friends or family members, thus we waited 15 minutes before she came back to take our order. Scallops were just barely warm and the fries my wife ordered were stone cold. Seems to be a process issue, as there were only a handful of customers dining at that time. Can’t imagine what the experience would be if they were much busier. Not good.

    Our server was very nice and did her job. The food on the other hand was cold, soggy or had no flavor. I was very disappointed as the location downtown Houston is fantastic typically. The wait time after the food was ordered was also nearly 30 minutes and the appetizer came out after the meal. Seems there were problems in the kitchen if I had to guess.
    Hearsay on The WaterwayResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Jessica. We’re glad to hear our server took great care of you, but we’re truly sorry to hear about the issues with the food and the timing of your meal. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll be looking into the kitchen delays to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We appreciate your patience and hope you’ll give us another chance to deliver the high-quality experience you expect from us

    We went for brunch this weekend and the ambiance is great. However, as someone with an allergy, I thought it was odd the server said I could not have corn tortillas instead of the flour tortillas he said the breakfast tacos were served with. They have corn tortilla listed on their fish tacos on the menu, so wasn’t sure why that was not an option. So, I just had a cup of soup which was nice. The charcuterie board was also nice. Good food, just not accommodating.
    Hearsay on The WaterwayResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Julia. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance and the food, but we’re sorry to hear about the misunderstanding regarding the tortilla options. We always strive to accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences, and we’ll certainly look into this to ensure a better experience for everyone in the future. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again soon and provide a more seamless experience."
