bad service, bad food – The restaurant has a nice atmosphere but it's a shame that the food and service is so bad. There were six of us and our orders took forever to arrive and when they finally did come they were not only cold, but they were wrong! It took another 25 minutes to get the correct orders and when they came, they were still not what we had asked for. When we asked for the manager, he was rude and unprofessional and we did not even get an apology for anything. It was one of the worst experiences we've ever had a... read more

Not so great.....average. – I ate at the Daily Review this pas weekend as well. Overall this place average. Let me start off with the pros. The restaurant/cafe is very pleasing to the eyes at night with all the lighting. The weather was perfect when I went, so I sat outside with my friends. The service was adequate, not too over bearing but not lacking in service. My mash potatoes were good. The cat roaming around was cute. Cons: I was not impressed by most of my dinner. My entire dinner was bland and unmemorable. I had the ... read more

What has happened here?? – I revisited DRC last Friday and had a most awful experience from start to finish. We were seated 20 minutes before water or cocktails were served (and my martini was cool, not cold). Another waiter and 30 minutes went by before our order was placed. My tortilla crusted shrimp was a tad over cooked, but still good, and the salads were nice as well, but our empty plates (and water glasses) sat there for another 30 minutes. The manager and three waiters were standing in the corner talking, never bothe... read more

Are You Kidding Me? – How could the Daily Review keep getting good reviews? First of all, the place is crawling with cucarachas! I wouldn't even order a cup of coffee, especially a cappucino, that's where the creepy crawlies hang out. As for wine list? Theirs is totally amateur! The food is at best mediocre. Sure the tortila shrimp sounds appetizing, but it's nothing but greasy and bland! The patio may be attractive, but don't be fooled, it just invites more outdoor life into the building. That place is totally disgusting!

Standard.... – In a word, I found this restaurant to be, STANDARD. Standard food, wine, atmosphere, entertainment, and service. It is nice for brunch or lunch. I would not recommend Daily Review Cafe for an evening out.

BEST BRUNCH IN HOUSTON! – As the Concierge of an upscale boutique hotel in Downtown Houston you tend to eat at a lot of restaurants. I came across this jewel by a guest of mine, and happen to go for Sunday Brunch. As I entered something was different about the place, they had an enormous garden in the back of the restaurant which was amazing. There outside patio is gorgeous and something that should not be missed when the weather is just right! Greg our waiter was superb. I tried there Chicken Pie, which was to die for! I ha... read more

A menu to satisy all with a fabulous patio – Great menu and quality. Although, I don't recommend the mexican dishes. The cheeses they choose, I feel are not in sync with the cuisine. Ask for a seat on the patio. The garden surrounding the patio is refreshing and the tables are spaciously arranged. It's not stuffy like most patios. At night, they set out candles, and have hanging lights offering a cozy, romantic atmosphere. The desserts are made in house and are delicious, and presented nicely. The wine list offers a nice sel... read more

One of Houston's secluded gems! Pray it doesn't become townhomes – Daily Review Cafe is one of Houston's most reliably wonderful restaurants. The rear garden is like eating in someone's backyard. The food is always superb and the service (while spotty at times) is usually terrific. If you do have a problem, ask to see Janice Beeson (the owner) or Alfredo (the manager). You haven't lived until you've had the fried chicken or the chicken potpie. What's even better is to go for a late, leisurely lunch--say 1PM, sit in the garde... read more

Great Music & Great Service – I had great tortilla crusted shrimp, a friend had the wild salmon with asparagus; both were awesome. We had great service. The jazz band was fabulous! A very relaxing dinner! Can't wait to go back.
