My husband and I thought we would try out Denis Seafood for the first time because our neighbors go there often and we had a great experience. We arrived at 7:00 on a Friday at the place was packed. We were seated immediately and our server named Renan was fantastic. He promptly greeted us and we had drinks and a wonderful Jumbo Lump Crabcake that we split. I got the Golden Tile with the lemon butter crab topping which was out of this world and my husband got the filet with a stuffed potato. He said it was better than the high end steak places by far. We finished the evening by splitting a fabulous bread pudding. We will become regulars.

Denis' Seafood House has great curb appeal. It looks like a fortress so I thought maybe the food is as good as gold, but I was mistaken. First of all the hostess did not greet us happily. She made us feel like we had interrupted her break. The server was very pushy and insisted we have cocktails so I ordered a drink and he never brought it. I was O.K. with water but it struck me as funny after all of his effort. The servers were all grouped together and talking so I had to signal them with eye contact to take my order. My server eventually came over and apologized, and asked if we were ready to order even though it was obvious. I looked at my watch at that point and it was 7:39. The food took forever to come out and it was incorrect. The waiter informed me that he would have it corrected but it may take a few minutes because the kitchen was shorthanded. I waited and I waited and I waited. Finally it came out and the food was not worthy of the wait. The fish was dry so I think they used the same piece of fish and just put the correct sauce on it. Our water glasses stayed empty most of the time. I was tired of the struggle and did not enjoy the visit at all. I had been looking for the manager and finally spotted him as we were leaving. He asked how our dinner was. I told him not good and he should be more involved in the dining room because the service was terrible. I looked at my watch at that point and it was 9:20. I let him know we had been there for 2 hours and not because we were relaxing. He did not offer any kind of apology, but rather gave us the excuse that they were short handed. I hope they are not shorthanded when you choose to visit Denis' because they will be taking the night off at your expense. When it comes to management, service and food quality Denis' Seafood is seriously lacking to say the least.

My husband and I went there last night for our Valentine's dinner and it was AWESOME!! Service was excellent, food was fabulous(I mean absolutely DELICIOUS!!). We had the crab bisque, blackened mixed grill(which was shrimp, fish, stuffed shrimp, scallops). I had never been to this location but we had frequented the Westheimer location and this meal was very impressive! We will definitely be going back soon!
