    My fiance and I dined here on a Tuesday evening and had the rabbit & sausage gumbo and the blackened beef cheek. Both were excellent, as was the atmosphere. We enjoyed a nice quiet dinner with excellent attention from our server Daniel. We will definitely visit again.

    Meal was mostly very good. Exceptional fried chicken, shrimp and grits and more. My wife ordered vegan hash and it came out late and undercooked. In restaurant’s defense, she didn’t bring it up until after we left so they had no ability to rectify but nonetheless, we expected more. Waiter was excellent.

    As a native New Orleanian, I am ALWAYS skeptical when a restaurant here in Texas tauts Louisiana cuisine. I was beyond pleasantly surprised at Beatrice. Everything was seasoned to perfection! The Vieux Carre drink was AMAZING! Our waiter, Daniel, was spot on with every recommendation. I, WE, will be back!

    My wife has been to Beatrice a few times and really liked it. We had friends in town from the northeast so we thought Beatrice would be a good place to take them for brunch on a Sunday. It was a good call! Our friends loved it and so did I. I can't speak to their meals but the shrimp and grits dish is definitely worth going back for. Beatrice will be a place to take the next group of friends who visit us from out of town!

    So excited to try Restaurant Beatrice as I have a Louisiana connection. Interesting menu with many choices. My husband had the blackened trout which was the special and I had the Jambalaya Atchafalaya. We split the fig salad and a slice of Dreamsicle cake. The food was fine although I wasn’t expecting the chicken to be a thigh and leg on top of the rice. The trout was good. Especially good was the salad—-dressing was perfect, and the cake. Things to improve on: wait until the entree is finished before bringing the dessert menu—-i understand the praline bread pudding takes some time to prepare, but that can be accomplished by letting diners know this earlier in the meal—-likewise, please wait until dessert is finished before bringing the check, and, while the bread basket is interesting, the dinner rolls weren’t as good as the biscuits or hush puppies. All-in-all, a nice time. Everyone was very welcoming. The hostess took it upon herself to seat us at a table when our reservation was at the bar—we did appreciate that.

    So proud of Terrence Jenkins and his Team. We knew Terrence from Carlton Woods in The Woodlands. We miss him. Our loss is Beatrice Restaurant find. He has built a great Menu and Team. Hard to pick our favorite dish. Oysters, Catch of the Day with Crawfish, Fried Chicken to die for and Bread Pudding to finish off a great experience. My wife is from Houma, La. and loved everything about the evening. Ambiance reminded her of New Orleans. Thank you Terrence Jenkins and Team. Dinning Awards are headed your way.

    Cocktails and the shrimp beignet and fried green tomato appetizers were fantastic. My partner enjoyed the fig salad. The chicken and sausage atchafalaya was good but the risotto was just a little dry. However, overall, a very enjoyable meal with good service.

    The food was exceptionally good. The gumbo, the red beans and rice with grilled pork chop, and the carrot cake were scrumptious! While I did not like the pineapple margarita mocktail, my husband enjoyed his Uncle Nearest whiskey. Our server was very attentive and friendly, and the music set the mood. We will return.

    I've eaten at Restaurant Beatrice a half dozen times, and each time it gets better. The food from Chef Terance always wows, our server Diego adeptly steered us to a different wine when the one we wanted was out of stock, and we were visited by both the GM, Romonia, and the owner, Michelle, who all made us feel like we were eating at their home and not a restaurant. I want to make special mention of the host, Andrew. While most hosts are content with merely dropping people off at their tables and walking away, Andrew greeted us warmly, directed us to the perfect table (a cozy booth by the window), filled out water, and was a true delight. When Andrew wasn't doing his hosting duties, he kept busy running food, directing the servers, and strategizing with the GM. Beatrice gets better every time I go. The food, the team, the atmosphere all continue to improve. It's clear why the won so many awards their first year, and I look forward to watching them grow for many many more years.

    The food is good. The service is nice. Really overpriced for the experience. They have limited seating and we had to make a reservation just to sit at the bar. Expect to pay at least $150 for two basic entrees, an appetizer, and two drinks. I would prefer Pappadeaux's or Walk On's for Louisiana food.

    I wanted to try a new restaurant for my birthday and decided to try Restaurant Beatrice. I ordered the okra fries as an appetizer and just delicious. I ordered the fried catfish that sat on the most delicious grits I’ve ever eaten. For dessert I ordered carrot cake and OMG, that was the best carrot cake I’ve ever had. I’m definitely going back. I’m giving this restaurant a 10.

    This was my second time to eat at restaurant Beatrice. I love the laid back attitude and clean lines of the layout. The service is attentive. The drinks are good. We had a dozen oysters to begin, they were delicious with 3 different dipping sauces. The menu has just changed so we had a few new choices, but I had the delectable fried chicken, and my companion had the red beans and rice with short rib. I highly recommend Beatrice. Chef Terance is the best.

    The service was on point. Ambiance had hints of fine dining. However, the food was quite the disappointment. I've read some great reviews and some not so great about this food, but I wanted to support the business. Unfortunately, the food was just mediocre. Extremely grateful for the vegan options. The flavor of the vegan sausage was divine. It appears burnt on the photo, but it has a smoky flavor. So, I am inclined to believe it was smoked. However, it was a bit tough/chewy. It's definitely not worth $26 for the portion. The catfish was fried so hard. When you tapped a fork on the entree, it sounded like a rock. It even looked a bit overcooked. The drinks were cute and presented nicely, but they didn't hit the mark for flavor in our opinion. They also charge you for anything extra you ask for. I just feel as if the waiter should notify the patron beforehand there is a charge for extra sauce, syrup, etc. Overall, just go see for yourself. You may enjoy it.
