Mediocre food; Lousy service – I ordered salmon, and it was inedible. I tried, but it was unfresh and overcooked. I took a few bites and then called the waitress over to explain that the fish was inedible. She looked shocked, and then rudely took it away with no apologies, as if the restaurant couldn't possibly serve a bad meal. This was the second bad experience here, and it was the last time I'll go.

take your time – The hostess graciously offered to seat me at a four top despite a crowd on the patio. The seared tuna offered an outstanding presentation. The waiter was very knowledgeable and allowed me to enjoy a good read during a protracted dinner. Excellent value.

It was OK – So, we finally went after the great reviews from friends and it was OK. The crab cake still had too much filler, but this is texas. The snapper was wonderful but it came with root veggies and a heavy sauce. Its summer! I think this restaurant may be nicer in the winter for a little comfort food. Also, if you sit inside, be prepared to share conversation with your neighbors as it is a little tight.

Charming patio – This is the best outdoor dining I have experienced, can't wait for cooler weather to enjoy to the fullest! Staff is attentive and, of course, the food is excellent! The new gardens are attractive and you'd never know you are in the middle of a bustling city.

Typical Houston Horrible Service – This was the 4th consecutive time I have enjoyed satisfactory food with horrible service. I have tried slow nights and most recently a Friday night with 3 different waiters/waitresses. It is ashame because it takes away from the consistently good food and wonderful outdoor ambience. Furthermore, do not bother making reservations because even if you do, they will seat people without them in your seat and make you wait.

Wonderul – I completely disagree with the poor ratings that The Daily Review Cafe has gotten. I love that place. My boyfriend and I frequent the Daily Reiew. We have always had very friendly and helpful waiters/waitresses and the food has always been wonderful no matter which meal you get there. The value of the service and food are tremendous for the small price that you pay. Go have brunch there one Saturday afternoon and your opinion may change, for those of you who didn't have a pleasurable experience!!

Worth Another Try? – After hearing about this place for a while now, we finally tried it. The patio was great, the staff was friendly, but not the most professional....but, in the end we really like the laid back atmosphere. We like the menu, but weren't "thrilled" with the food. The food didn't seem to live up to the reviews....I've had better meals for $100 per couple in Houston. Liked it, Yes. Loved it....not sure yet, but it's worth another try.

Bad food for the young. – The Cafe might be a nice place for college-age customers to hang out, but the food arises from a crude conception and worst execution. The ambiance is casual, and the waiters and staff are young. The waiters were very nice, and the ambiance was enjoyable. The food, however, is what college students on a budget would put together. It was a mish-mash of cheap cheese and unseasoned vegetables combined without any notion of symmetry and balance. The fruit salad was warm, and the white wine was not adequ... read more
