What Our Expert Scouts Say

This is a wonderful little brunch spot. A few of our brunch must-haves are the Cheese Biscuits with Homemade Sausage and Gravy topped with Chives and the Wild Mushroom, Spinach, Leek and Gruyere Quiche. FYI...if you are going to have more than 2 mimosas, it is better to order them by the pitcher and not the glass.

Had a wonderful dinner, will definitely be back. I loved the designer chic of the Eames-esque dining chairs and Swedish-modern feel of the restaurant. Pastries are excellent, as is the buttermilk fried pork chop and beet salad.

The breakfast pizza is the bomb! And Chad, the baker from Kraftsmen, is here now making all the bread in-house. Yum!

Tips for Canopy

Not Worth It. Went to Canopy for lunch with a friend. The service was incredibly slow and the place was not busy at all. Our waiter would disappear for 15 minutes at a time. When we did finally get our food it was the wrong food! Not only did we have to wait another 20 minutes for the right food to come out, but he didn't offer to adjust our bill. The food was ok but not great, and overpriced. I would not recommend this place, it's not worth the wait or the price.

Some of the best food in Houston. I have now eaten here at leat hafl a dozen times. I have never had a bad meal. Not cheap but not so pricey as to ruin the experience - the food is better than some of the more "famous" name brand places in town. The decor is is sort of NY NY - or my impression of that anyway. I don't love it - but it is OK. One tip if noisy places get on your nerves - or your hearing is not what it once was - trying getting the table in the front window or the one just to right of the reception by the wall - both are a good bit quierter. All in all it is a great place i would recommend to anyone looking for a really good meal.

Beautiful interior, Good Sunday brunch spot. Overall my Sunday brunch experience was very good. The food was pretty good and the service and decor were excellent. I would recommend this spot on a Sunday morning. We were there at 9am when it opened and the place was not even half full. The decor gives you the feeling of being outside with the walls of windows and green trees on the walls. Nice little place that reminds me of Shade in the Heights which I believe both restaurants have the same owner.

A+++. Stopped in for brunch a few weeks ago. It was very good. Having been a patron of their sister restaurant, Shade, I wanted to check it out. Food is just as good and the atmosphere is nice. We'll be back for dinner too! Sarah is the best!

Needs a lot of work!.
We had a reservation for 8:15pm last Saturday night and didn't get seated until 9:20pm - they gave us a free round of drinks at the bar to make up for this.
The restaurant is cute, but extremely loud - super hard to have a conversation. The cheapest dish on the menu was $18... one of us ordered the Sautéed Gulf Shrimp and Linguine ($20) and this had literally 5 shrimps, and LITERALLY 10 or 15 noodles in a soup... I had the roasted chicken and that also left a lot to be desired.
The service was definitely slow - i ordered a glass of wine and it didn't arrive at the table until about 20 minutes later.
Maybe they're just getting things started and it happens sometimes I guess... but a bad first impression definitely says a lot about a place. They need to get it together, because the place definitely has potential to be good.

Citysearch Editorial Review. Residing in an average strip center in Montrose, verdant Canopy's interior is a stunning contrast. Photo murals of tree branches wrap around the walls and wood beams crisscross above the main dining room for a lush effect that carries over into the food. The menu is unpretentious yet elevated, with staples like roasted chicken with mustard mashed potatoes and King salmon with mussels and pea shoots. This sibling to owner Claire Smith's Shade restaurant in the Heights also does a bustling business for weekend brunch, with house-baked pastries and cocktails being the highlights.
