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!!!

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.

I used to always choose Ouisie?s when I wanted to have a great lunch. Lately, however, I have become increasingly disappointed in Ouisie's. The reasons I liked this restaurant were that I could enjoy a lunch with friends, get good service, good food, and enjoy the fact that the ambiance was conducive to conversation. Ouisie's was our favorite. Sadly, my last visit this past week will probably be my last visit. A friend took me there, her treat, to celebrate. I was embarrassed that my favorite lunch place served us each a sad little crab cob salad composed of one boiled egg, about a cup of undignified lettuce, and probably at most one third cup of crab that still had shell in it. We had plain iced tea and plain coffee for dessert. The price tag was over $50.00! With tip and the $3.00 valet charge, we went away without dessert (the waiter never asked us, we had to ask for bread too, and he never came by with a pepper mill) and she spent over $60.00 for a very mediocre lunch for the two of us. I was ashamed to have suggested the restaurant. I won't suggest it again! There are too many places in Houston where one can get a lovely meal and not feel somehow "cheated."
