It absolutely lived up to all of praise. Every dish felt like a new experience, which is SO hard to come by nowadays. I mean, shockingly rare. And every dish was fabulous. Believe it or not, our favorite dish was the roasted grouper. I know they change the menu out, but that goes to show that they contain to shine on their seemingly basic proteins. How that dish was so good is some kind of witchcraft.
I also have a very dumb and frustrating allergy, which is always embarrassing to communicate and frequently gets in the way of a good meal. Our server / bartender was so accommodating, took it very seriously, and made my dinning experience that much more comfortable. Honestly when you have an allergy, half of the time people don’t think it’s that serious and won’t double check with the chef and your a little nervous for your entire meal. I had full confidence that they weren’t trying to murder me. (V cool).
Easily a 10/10. Go. Sit where you can. It’s totally worth it
Excellent attention to detail and presentation to all plates and drinks! The staff was phenomenal with the service, so awesome seeing everyone work as a cohesive team with management involved! Chicken was super juicy, salad very well dressed, bread super soft and crunchy too! I’ll be back for more!

Absolutely exceptional. Out of everything we got it’s impossible to pick a favorite. Service was excellent, with the server switching the plates between dishes so sauces wouldn’t mix. Among the dishes the stand outs where the fish collar, which was the most moist fish I’ve ever had in my life, the Nancy cakes, and the croquettes. Believe it or not, the fries where exceptional and where possible the best fries I’ve ever had. Our favorite desert was the Parmesan and black pepper cheese cake. Over all it was an exceptional meal with exceptional service and I would highly recommend going and I look forward to going again.

If this meal was a play, it deserved a long standing ovation!
We had a delightful experience at Nancy’s Hustle last night. Everything (and i mean *every* thing) was absolutely on point.
We started out with some made in house rye sourdough bread with cultured butter and marmalade. It was crispy, hot and smelled like heaven. Tasted even better.
Then got the gem lettuce salad with anchovies and pancetta. Another hit.
We followed that with striped sea bass over a parsnip sauce and it was incredible.
Last but not least, Nancy’s Cakes. Oh my where do i start. Fluffy pillows of buttermilk corn cakes with cultured butter and roe.
To put a bow on the whole thing, the service from Noah was top notch.
Do yourself a favor and try this Houston gem

Everything was amazing! Recommended making a reservation as they get very busy. Parking is around back or on the street. We were sat immediately and out server was great. They had great recommendations and every dish they recommended was a hit. The chicken is so moist and buttery. The burger was very interesting with the crunchy English muffin and lots of melted cheese. The grilled summer squash was so savory. The salad was crisp and refreshing. Very casual place some were in shorts and nice tshirts. You can dress up or down with no issues. As the night goes on the people were dressed nicer. Very dimly lit and candles on every table.

This place ranks in my top 3 restaurants in all of Houston. And that's saying a lot. Every dish is full of flavor, and all of the components just compliment each other so well. I've been here a handful of times, and each time just gets better and better. Oh, and the service is one of the best in the business. Can't wait for the next visit.

My husband and I found this place in a google search. We chose it because it was in between NASA and our hotel. While the staff seemed a little off putting at first (they insisted the candle stay on our table even though there wasn’t room), the overall experience was amazing. Once we got passed the candle incident I have zero complaints. Our server was very attentive, did an excellent job of explaining the menu, and was so polite and friendly. We don’t drink, but even the Sommelier stopped by to chat and offer suggestions. He actually chose our two desserts and was spot on. We ordered the half chicken and the swordfish. I have no words to describe how perfectly both were cooked and seasoned. I can’t remember the name of what we ordered as an appetizer, but it was soooo delicious. The house made lemonade is literally the best I have ever had; not to sweet, not too tart. If we lived in the area this would be our weekly date night restaurant. As it is, we will be back every time we’re in Houston (unless someone wants to expand, add more locations, franchise). 10/10 Stop in, you won’t regret it.

This place is great. Came late on a Saturday night and it was still pretty packed. The service is great everywhere. I got the Nancy cakes which were phenomenal - the cakes were nice and pillowy. Also got the cheeseburger which was pretty good as well but I think I still like the one at squabble better. The portion sizes are a bit small vs expectations but regardless this place is definitely worth checking out

Very unique and delicious menu.
We sat outside in their shaded outdoor seating area and it was incredibly enjoyable. They have amazing and unique drinks on the menu including a brine based mocktail you can add alcohol to.
The food comes in perfectly sized portions. Not too much. Not too little. It is the perfect middle ground to try a bit of everything and not be overly full. The menu has a good range of dishes and desserts.
Order the butternut squash with icecream!!! We ordered it twice. It's a wonderful balance between sweet and savory.
My only complaint is the fries had too much salt.

By accident found this place and was pleasantly surprised how good it is . I’m from Ukraine originally and at this place you definitely can find some European style cooking ❤️. It’s delicious, I ordered red snapper and my hubby had lamb tartare , we got very good dessert and drinks. Everything was outstanding, we paid only 76$ what is very reasonable for such kind of place. Keep going guys , you doing excellent job !
