About this business

Rainbow Lodge is the type of place where you expect to sip wine and play a wild game with the likes of Jim Harrison or Tom Mcguane. Enjoy tasty seafood offerings along with a view of the ravine in White Oak Bayou in this century old log cabin. Plus, with rooms like the Orvis Room you know just where to take the outdoorsman in the family. Just let them gaze at the rustic carvings along the bar. Along with seafood, chicken and meat preparations are also among the favorites. Grilled Ciabatta Sandwiches, pastas and salads also f... read more

Wonderful place to entertain clients – We took clients to Rainbow Lodge last weekend and it was outstanding. The unique flair of the restaurant makes it a great place to entertain. I don't know whether to start with the food or the atmosphere. Salad or gumbo was our starters, and I believe the crab gumbo was the winner. Our set menu of filet, snapper, duck and lamb options. The duck wasn't tried by our group but all the other were all tasty per commentary. For dessert we enjoyed a sampler where each got to try 4 different de... read more

Greatest kept secret shouldn't be kept secret – Went to meet with some old highschool friends. We went for Sunday brunch & we three gals had the most awesome time! Food was absolutely great, and the service was awesome! We all 3 had different items so the tasting began: braised short rib benedict, shrimp & grits, and the red snapper was to die for! Completed it with Mimosas & great conversation. This place is PERFECT to bring a date to. Wonderful patio but the ambience is what makes it. Not stuffy & is outdoorsy but not too ... read more

Outstanding food & wine list – My wife and I have reconnected with this special place and highly recommend that you do also. Special and different menu that you do not see all over Houston. One of the most romantic restaurants in the area.

A Wonderful Evening – We spent the most delightful evening the other night at The Rainbow Lodge. The food was out of this world and the staff couldn't have been better. I had lobster and it was perfect. I would recommend The Rainbow Lodge for a Special night, lunch, business lunch or dinner (you can acturally hear each other which is unique in Houston) or even a drink at the bar after work. Thank you for such a lovely time! Terry Pierce

Very Disappointed – Took an out of town guest there for drinks @ 9:15 PM on Tuesday (1/19/10). Supposed to still be open, but no, they were closed! Valet parking, almost a mandatory now at this place, was gated closed. What a disappointment! Wanted to "show off" a Houston tradition. Obviously, not that anymore! Last time we will try at this place!

Wonderful anniversary location – Been going since back in the 70's at the bayou location. Continues to be our favorite anniversary spot. Great food, attentive service and excellent setting to enjoy those special occasions. Not inexpensive but worth the price of admission. Enjoy

restaurant week disapointment – Well we went for restaurant week which proved to be the downfall of our dining experience. Our first course was a hot tomato soup with a panzanella salad. Well the tomatoes tasted like the equivalent of opening a can of hunts tomato sauce and pouring it over two croutons with some shaved cabage of some sort. It must have been the deconstructed type of dining experience the chef was looking for his diners to have. The entree was different then published on houston restuarant week primarily the ... read more

Great Atmosphere and Food!! – Best Brunch I've had in a while. The mimosas and complimentary breakfast breads are great!!! Ask for a table with a view or to be seated near the terrace.

Beware of Misleading Info – We went here today because they advertise a Sunday Comfort Supper starting a 5 o'clock, and they also have half price wine by the glass. I had been here a month or so ago and we enjoyed the meals. When we asked what the specials were our waitress didn't know, and when she returned she mentioned about 4 items, including an appetizer. We didn't even bother looking at the menu because we'd come for the Comfort Supper. I did recommend the tomato salad and warned my host that it was pricey, but worth i... read more
