Hidden in the mall and difficult to find, terribly slow service to the point you have to get up to find any wait staff and food options are rather limited and mediocre at best. Will never go there again and I’d recommend the same for anyone considering it as an option.

On the plus side, the food was really good and there were ample choices. On the downside, the decor could use a facelift. The ambience is kind of like an upscale Denny's. For the quality of food and price point of the menu I was expecting more attention to ambience, but alas it was pretty pedestrian.

We went for Mother’s Day. It was not loud and we were seated promptly. He waiters were not attentive at all. We had to ask for water, ask for coffee, ask for silverware etc. service was subpar and food was ok.

We went for Mother’s Day brunch and enjoyed the specials very much. $25 for a mimosa, an entree, and a dessert. The only downside was that we did not realize that the restaurant was inside the Galleria and the Westin Hotel. The experience was not quite as nice because of that detail, since it was difficult to locate from the parking garage and involved walking around inside of the mall first looking around for a bit. Would not recommend for a special occasion unless you are staying at the hotel already.

Horrible. Upon arrival there was a long line. We waited in the line because we had a reservation. When the hostess finally addressed us- I told her we had a reservation. She then responds “we don’t do reservations, our books are closed”. I then showed it to her on my phone and she replies “when did you make the reservation?” What does that even matter?! “I made the two weeks ago”. She then says “well we don’t do reservations on the weekends but you’re welcome to wait 10-15 min for the next table” we obliged and waited. Upon finally being seated 25 min later- it took another 10 min for a server to even address us. The food was ok, service was mediocre, will not recommend anyone to patronize this restaurant and we will not be back while visiting Houston.

We loved breakfast there. The bes dish was the French Toast, spectacular. Also the Waffle was really good. Try to arrive early to avoid crowds and considering you can exit through the mall get ready for good shopping.

The service was ok, but not great. But the ambience and the food was terrible. The food tasted as if the kitchen ran out of seasoning and spices. It was extremely bland and barely had any taste to it.

The manager and waitress gave a hard and grueling time honoring the menu/prices listed on Yelp. They made me feel discriminated against and the manager in duty (female) was rude. I cancelled my upcoming big party reservation, definitely didn’t want my 20 guests to experience the poor and discriminatory service that is served here.

Food was pretty good. However, none of the food we received matched the menu. My husband’s pad thai was supposed to have tofu. There was no tofu. My son was supposed to get a peanut butter and banana sandwich, but there was jelly on it as well. My salad was supposed to have cherry tomatoes and beets. There were no cherry tomatoes and they substituted watermelon radish for beets, which is obviously not the same thing. I think it would be more helpful if the menu actually matched the food the restaurant is putting out. Minimally, you should have the waiter let the customer know if the kitchen is going to substitute items because you never know what someone might be allergic to.

Dinner on NYE is big tradition in our household with two family members that celebrate birthdays on this annual night of celebration. This year was a more of a challenge in year's past. The trick was to find a menu that offered something for everyone. White Oak Kitchen + Drinks delivered. Everyone was able to find a selection that met their culinary tastes. The service was extremely attentive and efficient; however, that may have been in part due to the fact the restaurant was relatively empty. A couple of dishes really stood out including the calamari, the chicken gyoza, and the s'mores bread pudding. Located on the third floor of the Galleria in part of the Weston Hotel, it is not a place one would think of a destination restaurant; however, I would highly recommend it.

We were looking for a reasonably priced farm to table restaurant, and White Oak fit the bill. It wasn't crowded, so it was quiet and service was excellent. I especially enjoyed the gluten friendly fried calamari (the first time I've had fried calamari in over 5 years!). The chimichurri steak frites was excellent, as was the green tea lacquered salmon. I wouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm in Houston.

I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this place .If you go, don't let them put you in a booth. The booth benches are ridiculously low (or the tables are high). Either way, it was disproportionate and very uncomfortable. Also, although the menu listed my order as coming with sweet potato fries, it came to the table with regular fried potatoes. I ad to ask for (and wait for) the sweet potato fries.
