    Food, wine and service were very good. We got calamari as our appetizer and it was not very memorable, so I would say on average for that appetizer. We would like to try something else next time. Wine was very good, Sauvignon bland France 2020. Here are the things we really enjoyed: I like the detailed touches. Got a champagne toast once we arrive from our server. She asked about food allergy. Dessert plate said happy anniversary. We got branzino and crab and truffle pasta. We both really enjoyed Branzino. Crab and truffle pasta, I thought the sauce was a little on the dry side, personally I like a little saucy, moisture. So it’s more smooth. And we got confit creamed pastries topped with butter poached crab. We liked the purple potatoes. I didn’t really understand the crab with potato. The combination of sauce and potato was great alone. Because I didn’t taste the crab flavor in the sauce nor the synergy between the two ingredients. We both like the portion size. One thing I think it needs to improve is noise level. It was very loud and people were talking over each others. We noticed as soon as we walked in. Also I saw y’all used Bon Chef as your dinnerware. One of the plates still had a label on there. Thank you again for preparing our dinner. We would like to come back again for our anniversary.

    Called at 8:45 advising that we were running 7 min late for a 9pm reservation, were told that restaurant would be closed by then. Arrived 9:09 pm for a 9 pm reservation (tolerance is 15 min) were told restaurant closed at 9. And that we called previously and told them we would be there 9:07. We drove 45 minutes to celebrate with my parents who were in town, and wouldn’t be sited. Worst of all, when my wife told the manager that we were celebrating with my parents, he had the audacity to tell her “then you should have booked an earlier sitting”. No one should be treated the way we were treated, specially in a place like TRIS.

    This dinner. The food, the ambiance, the service, it was all perfect. My husband and I love experiencing great food. We have eaten at Michelin Star restaurants on several occasions. The Lobster Risotto and the mushroom duxelles was better than Gordon Ramsay's. The Warm Apple Tart paired perfectly with the french press coffee. The only disappointment I had was that I couldn't finish my meal because I was so full. We will definitely be back.

    Five ***** and fantastic. This was our first time visiting Tris. My wife and I we’re celebrating our anniversary. From start to finish our experience was fantastic. We were so fortunate to have Mary as our server, who was attentive, knowledgeable and super friendly. Our selections, with Mary’s guidance were absolutely delicious. The Butter Poached Crab, Filet, the Big Rib, Lobster Risotto, and Bread Pudding…Chef and kitchen should be proud. Our only request upon our return is to not be seated on a two-seater against the wall…it was drafty and cold from a/c venting.

    We have been wanting to try this place for quite some time now. I just wish we had tried it sooner. Tris definitely didn’t disappoint. They paid extra detail to everything, from the moment we walked in. Ashlynn was our server and she was such a delight. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and took a little extra time with us knowing it was our first time in. She made the perfect suggestions! The food was phenomenal and so very different. This chef is top notch. We are very lucky to have him here in The Woodlands. We can’t wait to go back! If you’re thinking about trying it out, you definitely need to try the crab cake for an appetizer. I promise you won’t be disappointed. And the Big Rib is also amazing. I was so very glad we tried the caramel soy Brussels and lobster risotto, but the dessert was my favorite. Definitely try the bread pudding and the chocolate croquettes. You will be in heaven!!

    This was the first time I was disappointed in my dinner at Tris. I ordered the wavy steak an lobster, and found the steak cooked well, but was tough. The lobster was just overcooked an also a bit tough. My wife had the Branzino but it was not cooked to her liking. I am sure I’ll return but it will be awhile.

    Great Ambience and food! Lobster pot pie was an art form. Unfortunately had the table in back next to walkway to bathroom and kitchen entrance which had high staff traffic. Distracted from quiet date experience. Made reservations far in advance too. Also, had the experience of sitting next to a screaming baby most of the evening but can’t fault the restaurant for a couple that chose to bring a baby to an evening dinner at a fine dining establishment on Valentine’s day no less. With all that said. didn’t feel $325 for dinner would be something I’d do again there without carefully arranging the seating in advance.

    A couple weeks after a great Valentine’s dinner we returned to Tris for a happy hour. We expected the food and service to be good, but “good” is a significant understatement. From the moment we entered it was apparent that this place is different. From the receptionist through the bartenders, wait staff, and management service was beyond friendly and professional. It was exceptional. And then there was the food. We eat out frequently. Do happy hour occasionally.This is beyond compare. Happy hour or dinner, Tris is #1 on our list.

    A high end, exceptional dining experience. Chef Austin prepared unique, delicious dishes filled with complex and intriguing flavors. My wife and I are foodies and have eaten at great restaurants from Paris to Shanghai, New York City to Milan. TRIS is right up there with the best restaurants we've eaten at. Absolutely worth the trip and the money.

    From start to finish nothing was short of superb. I would definitely recommend the A5 Sando to start with. And we had the steak platter(off the menu, ask your waiting about it) and it was beyond well crafted. Including a picture as well. Would recommend this place over and over again.

    My wife and I went here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary together. I can’t say enough about the team at TRIS. I have severe food allergies (soy/sugar/egg), and generally don’t eat out because of them. In fact, this was my wife and I’s first time dining out together in 5.5 years. The team here went above and beyond to make sure they accommodated my allergies. Checked with the table many times on ingredients they were using, and curated items just for me. The food was amazing. The service was amazing. I can’t thank them enough!
