Favorite Clear Lake Restaurante

by cldiner

Bailey's has become my restaurant in the Clear Lake Area. My wife and I eat there quite often and have had a wonderful experience from top to bottom.

If you are a prime rib or steak lover, try the best piece of prime rib that you will ever be served in a restaurant. The prime rib is served rare, however ask them to throw it on the grill for a bit to bring it up med rare or med.

Bailey's is one of the few restaurants our area that can consistently nail cooking a fish entree. You cannot go wrong with their fresh catch specials. Someone has had a fish entree at our table nearly every visit and not once have we been dissapointed. If you like fish that doesn't taste "fishy", then this is your place.

The wine list is very nice and if you are ever in doubt just ask as the staff are very knowlegible about pairings for their food.

We enjoy being served by their seasoned staff, as most are all familiar faces because of their tenure at the restaurant.

Bailey's is a gem.

Consistently good service, and really good food.

Enjoy!!!

• Pros: Fabulous Fish and Top of the Line Smoked Prime Rib
• Cons: A bit noisy

Good food...terrible place to hold an event

by megs1130

We live in the League City area and found out about Bailey's when we were looking for wedding venues. My fiance and I have eaten there on a Saturday night and also for brunch. The food and waiting service was great, so we decided to choose this as our wedding venue. Big mistake!! We first spoke to someone in November, but wanted to wait to make a decision after the holidays. We called and spoke to the event coordinator and met with him and thought all was good. A week later I sent over our menu selection and the number of guests to estimate so we could come up with a contract and figure to make a deposit. A little after a week had gone by no one had contacted me so I called and spoke to a gal who said the gentleman we were working with was out sick and she would look into it. When I finally contacted them again because of their poor follow-up service, I talked to a new gentleman on his first day of work. He kindly made an appointment to meet us and had even emailed the contract to us. However, the restaurant's contract was no contract at all it was a pricing sheet. When we met with him, he agreed and was going to talk to the owner. Well we finally heard back and got their so-called contract which didn't mention anything we were concerned with and had talked about and now had many unmentioned fees. My advice if you are considering this as an event site is to go elsewhere. When paying a large sum of money a contract is needed to protect both parties which they cannot seem to provide a legitimate one. We will never spend another dime or minute of our time on this restaurant.

good food but not excellent

by bordeux34

bailey's is a nice restaurant for the not so nice seabrook -kemah area.

the food was ok not what i expected considering they advertise the food as delicious. it wasn't that tasty and something i notice is that the food presentation they advertise in the web page is not as nice in person and we had the most expensive items in the menu so that was dissapointing however the staff was very good and the atmosphere is really nice.

• Pros: nice place inside and out ; good inexpensive red wine
• Cons: not a good apettizer selection, the restrooms look cheap!
