The Owner

Byzantio

Owner

Byzantio is an oasis on a main street in the midtown district of Houston. Instead of a series of dining rooms in this converted old bungalow, you walk into room after room filled with slouchy sofas and comfy chairs. With its Mediterrannean architecture and interior comprised of a breathtaking stone mosaic bar, stucco mouldings, antique fixtures and an earthtone color scheme. We offer a full menu of Greek food served from 10am- 1am and a full bar with the longest happy hour in Houston. Try a Mojito, Caipirnha, Ouzotini or an Ouzo Frappe. We also offer free wireless internet.Lunch and drink…

In Short – Inside this converted brick bungalow awaits a party scene reminiscent of the Greek isles. The impressive interior boasts a large mosaic bar, stucco moldings, hardwood floors and an earthy color scheme. A full menu of authentic Greek fare, coffee drinks and bar bites (including appetizers, salads, pizzas and sandwiches) is served until 2am. Patrons run the gamut from business lunchers to serious clubbers. In-house DJs spin on weekends while Thursdays pack in the crowds for belly dancers. Free Wi-Fi. –

Great food, drink, service and staff.

I frequent Byzantio approximately 4 times a week for coffee, cocktails, food or just a great place to do work on my laptop.

Daily drink specials are great.

Awesome available parking.

The bartenders are awesome!

I cannot think of one drawback to the Byz.

  • Cons: None.

Customer Service, not here!

by ccantu

I joined a party of 6 plus friends here for hookah, food and drinks one night. Let me start with the table service--if you are looking for it here then try again. Second, our poor waiter was new and not being attended by someone to make sure he was doing everything correctly. Although he was attentive, he still got the ticket wrong after saying we could split checks since we had asked more than four times. Lastly, the owner missed customer service class at college because he was the rudest person I have ever encountered in the service industry. Besides arguing with my sister, who paid the bill after we were told ever so flippantly that even though the waiter said yes we would have to basically deal with it, he was just rude. All I know is I haven't returned there yet and I would have to be bound and gagged to return. People there are plenty other spots I would go to (Darband, Mary'z etc..)

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Too many to state
