Used to be good...not anymore – When I moved to Houston 6+ years ago The Daily Review was a gem and a great find. We took anyone who came to visit to this restaurant for either brunch or dinner. A few years ago we noticed a significant change in the quality of food. We stopped going after way too many bad meals. Recently we decided to give it one more try. Maybe new ownership? or new management?? One can at least hope. But alas it seems to have gotten even worse. Eggs Benedict couldn't even be made correctly. One egg was per... read more

Great choice - day or night – I've been here several times over the years and always have enjoyed it. Great place for weekend lunch in pretty garden amongst the many trees and flowers. And a great place in the evening for a romantic candlelit dinner on the lovely patio. Great food, great service, great ambiance.....

Reception Success – I had to plan a farewell slash reception party in a very short time. I was very nervous about booking a place, catering etc. A friend of mine suggested I have our party in a restaurant. So, I looked around for those with a banquet room and open date. My husband and I chose the Review after visiting it once. Our party turned out to be a huge success due in large part to the restaurants' staff and food. Lee and Richard were both exptremely helpful and even comforting about my nerves. However, the food was t... read more

Greasy and salty food – My friend and I went to this place as we drove by and noticed the patio. I was enchanted. Walked in and VERY quickly were helped to be sited. Almost as if the servers were fighting for customers. ? Not a good impression. The patio was not clean. It looked much better from the outside. THAT BAD. It took FOR EVER to get our cocktails... yet, it?s alright cus in other places it takes a while too. The food...poor! Big deception. Either too salty, too greasy, too unappealing. Keep the unclean patio for you... read more

Couldhavedonebetter – We decided to try this restaurant based on recommendations from friends. We had reservations on a Friday evening and when we arrived were seated promptly. The restaurant is gorgeous, a very nice decpr with a romantic patio. Due to the heat, we chose a table inside. Once our guests arrived, we waited 15 minutes before being greeted by waitstaff. I felt this was a little too long as the restaurant was not crowded at all. The service was lackluster at best. The food was good, but there is not much here tha... read more

not just for lunch – I invite clients to meet me at the Daily Review for lunch quite often, but last week my husband took me there for dinner on Mother's Day. Perhaps because the restaurant was almost full inside and out, the service was a little slow but still attentive without being obtrusive and both my mahi mahi and my husband's steak were cooked perfectly. But I could not believe the difference in the atmosphere. Both the dining room and patio looked very romantic, with candles and low lighting and there was a great jaz... read more

Great Cafe Although a little expensive, the Daily Review Cafe has a great location and Patio. They usually have live music of all kinds and their food is quite good.

All around phenomenal evening! – A group of 10 that grew into 16 attended a birthday event here and everything was impeccable -- seating, service and, of course, sustenance. The $4 martinis were delicious and everyone was satisfied with their food. The mashed potatoes and the chocolate whiskey brownie were hits all the way around the table. The patio was perfect for such a large, boisterous group. Our server was on time and, frequently, ahead of the game. Overall, way to go!

Used to be a great little gem! Not so anymore... – On a recent visit, we had a reservation (2 of us), and were seated immediately. We waited TWENTY minutes before anyone even came over to offer us water! We finally had to get up, go to the bar, and ask for menus. The food was decent, when it finally came, but I was so annoyed by then it ruined my appetite. I HOPE they sell out and someone else takes over. Sad too, because this place used to be so awesome...like this little gem tucked away!
