The app here had the address wrong and we ended up at the wrong location. Should be Tavern @ 737 Preston but when you book through app, sends you to 213 Travis.

Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. We apologize for the mix-up with the address—thank you for bringing it to our attention. We’ll work on improving the app to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We hope to see you soon!

Lovely Sunday brunch and was able to enjoy HRW menu. Our server was great and we never wanted for anything. The music was a bit loud but that May have been since we were there quite early and it wasn’t very crowded. I recommend this one . If I’m in the area for an event, I’ll return..

Hearsay was a good choice as always. We have been to this location a couple of times and each time the food and ambience never disappoints. This time we visited during Houston’s Restaurants Week l, they offered a 3-course meal that listed items for everyone. The service was lacking in appeal due to the waitress not being attentive (and they were not packed) but she was friendly.
Hearsay Market SquareResponded on September 9, 2024

The food was delicious we enjoyed Houston restaurant week. The chef nailed my steak and the Philly cheese steak egg roll starter. It's my favorite place to go before the ballet!

We opted to order off the HRW menu. The redfish and the bread pudding were amazing. My husband really enjoyed his bistro steak and wedge salad. We needed to be out there within an hour for an evening show at the Hobby center and the lady who waited on us was kind enough to ensure food were coming out in a timely manner. We would definitely come here again!!
