my favorite place... – i live around the corner from the chelsea market, so naturally, when i saw that danton's had moved in, i was overjoyed. since its inception, i have been countless times, and have ALWAYS had great service, exceptional food, and a wonderful time. the people take the time to learn your name and really care about how you are doing and what's going on in your life. i love it there, and i pray every night that danton's becomes a permanent fixture on montrose. it's about time.

You'll never have a bad meal here – Tucked away in Houston's museum district Danton's is always very good for lunch or dinner. Seems to be a place one can always count on for good to delicious food. This evaluation is arrived at after several months of meals there periodically. My spouse believes they serve the best fried shrimp in Houston. The oyster stew can go head to head with the best from Maine. A place where you can have a private conversation over a meal and not be bothered. Don't really have to ponder where to go an... read more

Simply Divine! – Where to start on Danton's Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen? The atmosphere? Dark rich hardwoods and a delightful wait staff set the perfect mood. The oysters? Fresh, delicious, juicy, rich, flavorful... the list goes on and on. The gumbo? Simply put, the most divine Cajun treat I have tasted since leaving my native Louisiana five years ago. As an entree, my husband and I shared the stuffed flounder and the oysters Kyle. Both were wonderfully fresh, the flounder accompanied by whipped yams and sauteed vegetables a... read more

Seafood plucked straight from the Gulf in a casual Museum District restaurant. – This relaxed Chelsea Market seafood restaurant in the Montrose/Museum District area is adorned with family photos and area coastal maps. The food focuses on fresh local seafood and the signature garlic remoulade sauce of chef/owner Dan Nix, who cut his restaurant teeth in some of the area's most successful seafood spots. Menu standouts include smoky gumbos, stuffed flounder, shrimp Creole and sandwiches such as slow-cooked pot roast with Swiss. ... read more

Not the best I've ever had, but is very good overall – I've been here 3 times total, and most of the stuff we've had has been really good. Have had oysters (both on the half shell and the Oysters Kyle, I think they call their special), shrimp creole, crawfish, and many sides. All were good. The gumbo is okay, but I think there are a lot of variations of gumbo and everyone has their own spin on it. I think the only thing they could improve on is their dessert menu, which seems a bit limited.

Love it! – Very nice upscale atmosphere, with super attentive staff. We had 2 waiters (one was a trainee) and they were both friendly and helpful. Ordered the gumbo, stuffed jalapenos, and the debris sandwich. The gumbo was very good. Really dark and rich, but a bit overpriced around $10 a bowl. The stuffed jalapenos (cheese and crab) were tasty and came with a nice remoulade, but the cheese overwhelmed the crab. I would skip these and go for crab fingers or something similar. The debris sandwich was fantastic! It was a barg... read more

If it moves, fry it – I am a little slow in posting this review, but my wife and I had a disappointing first and last meal here on a Saturday evening a few weeks ago. Our first clue should have been that we were able to get a reservation on a Saturday night just a coupIe of hours beforehand. I agree with other reviews which noted(1) a limited menu with (2) virtually everything fried and (3) an amateur waiter. Having enjoyed this location as the Redwood Grill for many years before its painful reincarnations into what currentl... read more

BEST SUNDAY EVER! – We've been coming to Danton's since it opened...even wwrote a review a year ago. Since then they have never dissappointed and seem to come up with excellant new Specials everytime we go. That said, last weekend we tried the Sunday Blues Brunch for the 1st time. We had been told that the performers Earl Gilliam and IJ Gosey were true Houston Blues legends and that they would put on a memorable show. Well knowing how good the food is we decided it was a no lose proposition; and man were we RIGHT! 1st the fo... read more

Nice Atmosphere, decent food, fair service – 5 of us went for dinner on a Friday night and were seated promptly in the dining room. We were impressed with how quiet the room remained throughout the evening even though it was probably 90% full by the time we left. Due to the open nature and hard walls and floors we were worried about sound but it was not an issue once they turned down the music. Their wine selection is limited and even though our waiter said they had all the beers in the world their beer selection is limited ... read more
