Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in University of Houston

For a date with your significant other is the perfect place to go and the shareable steaks are mouth watering. Perfect for two. Hands down the best place for a romantic date night.

Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

I went here for galentines & it was absolutely MARVELOUS! You have to valet or park on the street, but street parking was surprisingly easy to find. The door was always opened for us & the guy helped my friends get group pics, which was super kind. The ambient lighting, the live music that transitioned into a DJ later on that night, the amazing bartender (ask for Kelyn, she’s awesome), our super sweet bartender (Zickee? I know I’m mispelling his name, but he was so attentive & kind), & the FOOD. The burger genuinely was the best burger I’ve ever eaten (if you don’t like too much butter, maybe avoid this), the deviled eggs had CAVIAR on it & tasted so good… I wanted to fight my two other friends for the last egg hehe. The lambchop was great, but if you’re HUNGRY, it’s only that on top of a polenta (kind of a cheesy, hashbrown but I think it’s cornmeal not potatoes), so I’d advise getting a side or two with that. The pasta looked amazing, & it genuinely wasn’t as expensive as it may feel. We split everything evenly & with a large tip it was still a decent price! And they gave us chocolate covered strawberries topped with real gold flakes at the end. Perfect restaurant, my absolute favourite in Houston now. Still dreaming of the burger!

Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!

So amazing and perfect for someone that’s intimidated by ordering sushi! They make it so easy and it tastes great! Good value for the price and the music is always on point!
