The resturant in my opinion is a hidden gem. It has a cute, rustic and clean atmosphere. The parking lot is rather small but I do appreciate the valet service for $5, it helps ease the worry of parking. The doors open in a fashion that make you feel like I have arrived. Immediately upon walking in is the host stand and they were super nice and welcoming. The food does take some time to come out but I can appreciate that because the food is piping hot upon making it to your table. There were a few inconsistencies with my order for example I order my steak medium well and it eas well done and my appetizer mentioned peach but the flavor was missed. Additionally, I made the reservation in advance for my friends birthday. I confirmed that with both the host and the server and they never asked who was the birthday person and made an assumption. They ended up bringing the dessert to the wrong person. We order the Escargot as well and that took some time to come out. The manager did comp us for this inconvenience. Overall, I rate this resturant a 6 out of 10 but would still try it again.

My visit to Savoir was a bit of a mixed experience, but there were definitely some highlights! When I arrived, I was greeted outside by two young gentlemen working valet. Despite being out in the Houston heat, they were both incredibly friendly and welcoming. Once inside, one of the hostesses greeted me warmly and genuinely seemed happy to have us there. Another person who appeared to be a manager or owner wasn’t quite as welcoming, so the initial greeting felt a little mixed. The restaurant itself is nice, and the seating was very comfortable. My favorite part of the space was being able to see into the kitchen. I love restaurants with an open kitchen where you can catch a glimpse of everything being prepared, so I really enjoyed having a view of that during the meal. Our server was great. He was attentive, anticipated what we might need, and continued checking on us throughout the meal without being overbearing. I really appreciated his service. Now for the food! I started with the lobster bisque with added crab meat. The bisque was smooth, rich, and delicious. I do wish there had been more crab meat considering there was an additional charge for it, but I still really enjoyed the dish. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken and churro waffles. The churro waffle was ABSOLUTELY delicious! It was easily the highlight of my meal. Unfortunately, the chicken didn’t match the waffle. It was very bland and needed seasoning, so it tasted more like plain fried chicken tenders. I really wanted the chicken to have the same wow factor as that waffle because the waffle was so good. I also tried the hibiscus mimosa, which was delicious and paired nicely with brunch. Overall, I enjoyed my visit, especially the service, lobster bisque, hibiscus mimosa, and that amazing churro waffle. I probably wouldn’t make a special trip back based on this visit alone, but if I’m in the area, I’d certainly stop in again and try something different. And I wouldn’t mind having that churro waffle again! 😋

I returned here after several years and was extremely disappointed. We came on a weeknight and it was clear they were severely understaffed, but the experience was poor beyond that. It took over 35min to get drinks and bread service (there was no one at the bar so I didn't understand this delay) and over 2 hours for our whole meal for 2 people ordering off HRW. We weren't even informed of the staffing shortage/delay until we had to ask where our drinks were after 30min. The food was mid quality and certainly not worth the high price. The best thing was the crab cake, which was ironic since I hadn't intended to order it but was informed that my original order wouldnt be available (again, almost 40min after ordering). The pasta I got tasted like tortellini I could have gotten from the grocery store. The crab pizza was soggy. On the service front, our primary server basically ignored us, only apologizing for the delay when he delivered the check. The tables behind us were getting up to get their own bread plates and pepper. The only redeeming quality was the manager who tried her best (in what I can assume was a stressful situation) to make things right by comping a couple small items. I hate to write reviews like this, but I will not be returning.

We had a party of 9 reserved a week in advance for a Saturday night dinner. Our reservation was at 7 and my friend who reserved had received a call that around 5:45 pm today to confirm our reservation. However when our whole party arrived we were told that our reservation was lost and taken out of the system. In result, our large table was given to another group. We did not get seated till 7:45 and we ordered right away from the Houston Restaurant Week menu. Our food did not arrive till 8:15 pm. We were starving at this point. I believe we were not the only party/group this happened to. Also, my friend was sitting under an AC vent and the AC water kept dripping on her. Aside from this, our server was great and the food was decent. They have a good selection for Houston restaurant week. We did get compensated which was appreciated. I’ve been to Savoir 2 times before way back and the wait was never an issue. Our group was thinking of going to an ice cream shop after but our girls night ended being cut short as we had to wait to be seated and get our food. In the end, the food was good but was I’m not sure if it was worth an hour and 15 min wait.

I went to Savoir in the Heights on a Sunday morning for brunch with my wife and our toddler. Savoir markets themselves as a chef-driven restaurant that focuses on from-scratch cooking with seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers and vendors. Parking is valet-only, but if you don’t mind walking a couple of minutes, there is free street parking available on Heights Boulevard. Inside, the restaurant is beautiful, with a sleek bar, a stylish dining room, and an outdoor patio. They were accommodating to families and brought out a high chair for our toddler. When looking over the brunch menu, I was surprised to see that they did not offer a traditional breakfast option like eggs, bacon, and toast. I even asked if they could make something simple like that, and they said no. I’ve never encountered a brunch menu without a basic breakfast option. [BRUNCH] +Open Brunch Sandwich for $18 - BLT with truffle oil and a fried egg, served with potatoes. This was very average. It was essentially a piece of bread topped with BLT ingredients, and I ended up eating it like a standard breakfast anyway. Nothing memorable here. - 3/5 Overall, Savoir is a visually impressive restaurant with a polished atmosphere, but the food does not live up to the setting. I wouldn’t go out of my way to return.
