Best Cozy Restaurants in Medical District

This place was more than amazing, I celebrated my friends birthday and it was perfect from the food to the service. I ordered the crab claws & cajun pasta and it was a 10/10. The restaurant had a really nice ambiance and aesthetically pleasing as a great place to take cute pictures. We also had a giant teddy bear at our table that was the highlight of my friend’s night.

We eat here two to three times a year. Last night was probably the best food we’ve had in the last five years. The bottle of Moet was great. Opening the evening was a plate of four pastries (gougyure?) filled with salmon mousse and caviar. We followed with a Farmer’s Green Salad. My wife had catch of the day. Me? Fried quail. There was not a hiccup with any of these entrees - all were excellent. The desserts - chocolate mousse and an apple tart with ice cream The chef’s gift to the table was a pumpkin soup with coconut milk. I wished that they would make this a regular menu item. One slight flaw. The recipe for the famous Dean Fearing tortilla soup seems to have changed. All in all - an excellent evening. IF. If I could change one thing? Hire a carpenter. Put in a vestibule ahead of the outside entry door. it was cold outside last night, and the drafts that passed through the restaurant are quite cold. All in all - the $$ were well spent.

Another great meal and experience at El Carlos Elegante! We started with cocktails, Cherry Moon and Negroni Cafe, and both were great. The one-hitters, Surf + Turf and Brisket, were exceptional. Don’t miss those two! The Salmon Ceviche and Okra + Shishitos were spot on as usual. We rounded out our meal with a hand-made masa, Chorizo Molotes, which was delicious. Nice crunch on the masa, stuffed with chorizo and refried beans and served with warm salsa roja. The atmosphere was cozy and festive at the same time. To add to the fun, the restaurant was tastefully decorated for the holidays. We’ll definitely be back. A “go-to” restaurant for us. The food and service never disappoints.

Vibe and embiance was immaculate. Karl was dope as hell! He came with the best recommendations that made the experience all the more worth while.

We were supposed to go tii on a different restaurant, I’ve tried to get in to Marysol w no luck. It came up again on open table and I switched immediately. My guests had never been. Everyone loved.
