In Short – Owner and executive chef Elouise Adams Jones presents Southern cuisine accented with inspirations from Texas, Louisiana and Mexico. The main dining room is spacious but retains an intimate quality, with a homey fireplace and a large blackboard announcing daily specials. Other rooms provide uniquely decorated indoor and outdoor settings ideal for group dining and special events. Menu favorites include chicken fried steak, sea bass, chicken curry, lamb chops, fried oysters and a selection of fresh salads. – – –

great food, great service, great music
by bhrwtz
We've been a few times, but had stopped going on the weekends because the music in the dining room was so loud! They have a new pianist and singer that is wonderful. The food was wonderful and creative as always. The manager stopped by and chatted with us and the waiter was very attentive. We had a bottle of the suggested wine and shared the pear/apple dessert with ice cream. Delicious! We'll be back for the great food & service as well as the new soft Frank Sinatra style music. We love Ouisie's Table!
- Pros: food, service, music
- Cons: not much... wish valet were free

Great food, relaxed atmosphere, excellent service
by kfuchs
I have been coming here for years. I love the relaxed, and non-business dinner, feel of this place. The jazz duet on Saturday evening was a bonus. Our waitress was splendid, coming by to give information and pour another glass of wine, but was not too visible or intrusive. As usual, the food was outstanding. The peppered tuna was perfectly seared and the blue cheese steak was cooked to perfection, as was the chocolate cake for dessert. We appreciated the diversity of the menu (heavy and light) and the number of affordable wines. There was a wedding going on in the side room and we had no idea. Service was still on point and the noise level was not affected at all. Still a big thumbs up for Ouisie's Table!!!
- Pros: Great food and ambience. Finally a good restaurant that isn't for business dinners!

One of Houston's Finest
by livewelleatwell
A friend heard me bragging about Ousie's Table and told me there were some negative reviews on line. I looked and had to respond with my own experience, especially since one never can tell when negative things start showing up whether it's really true or part of a campaign for some other reason. I have eaten at Ouisie's many times, and most recently took associates from Paris there after they asked to eat some of the Southern food I had bragged to them about over the years. Our evening could not have been better for me or for how a couple of well-versed French visitors now see our city. The brandied oysters started the compliments and the quail and also the chicken-fried venison kept them going. I have heard since from mutual friends in Paris who said they have heard over and over how great Ouisie's is. That is not an easy thing for a Parisian to admit! Ousie's Table is one of our city's finest restaurants. It's food never gets dull. The rooms are wonderfully comfortable, and the staff has always been professional. One assistant manager even heard my associate's accents and began speaking French with them. My biggest regret is if any of these negative reviews has caused one person not to experience the best for his or herself.
- Pros: Imaginative food, wonderful ambience and a true, modern taste of the region
- Cons: If you don't like to valet, but it's also a small lot
