We celebrated our anniversary at Le Jardinier and had a wonderful evening. Our server Ruben was excellent. He explained everything on the menu and was very attentive the whole time. The food was delicious and looked beautiful on the plate. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. I really enjoyed sitting in the lounge. It was nice to watch the reflection of the trees in the mirror. The glass artwork was also pretty. The dessert was a pleasant surprise — it was delicious! We had a special night and would recommend this restaurant for a celebration.

Fantastic luxury French restaurant in the fine arts museum I haven’t had a bad experience at Le Jardinier. The filet mignon entree is fantastic - juicy, tender cut of beef that’s seasoned perfectly - paired with a sunny-side egg, broccoli, and pommel dauphine (fried potato). We’ve also enjoyed the branzino (zucchini noodles are a highlight, and green circle chicken. The complimentary bread serving is always fanatic - freshly baked Gruyère and seed rolls and we also got a carrot-ginger amuse bouche drink onetime that was perfect. For dessert, the dark chocolate cremeux is my favorite - all sorts of textures (crispy chocolate, creamy ice cream and ganache, caramel foam, etc.) combine for an out of the world experience. The plant-based ice creams are also amazing.

La Jardinier brought me back to Paris. It was perfect in every way - the service, the atmosphere, and of course the food. Everyone working seemed to be in constant communication and it really highlighted to restaurants noteworthy reputation. The food was far from simple but also brought me back to simpler times as a kid eating home cooked meals. They left a high standard in Houston for the Michelin Star.

Pros: quality of food, ambience Cons: service(this time) This review was done to cover my last 2 visits to the restaurant. Pre and post Michelin status. Pre status, I feel the experience was simply phenomenal. Our hostess Robin was the crowning cherry on top of an excellent meal and overall experience. However yesterday, post Michelin(and for a friends birthday) I must say I unfortunately had a less than similar experience. Our server, who I would rather not name, was borderline disinterested and not adding to the experience. Between taking the plates we were mid eating to the side without asking and being very out of it despite our attempts to add some cheery energy to the experience, the overall experience that the food was trying so hard to carry was diminised. I can understand she may have been having some struggles however the service industry thrives solely on being able to power through and deliver in spite of circumstances. Including the smaller size to their butterfly on their signature dessert, I must say I wasnt as happy as my previous experience left me but the food definitely still delivered on being exceptional. Note- while our server may not have been on point, the hostess at the entry was attending to a customer's baby in a stroller so she could dine and enjoy. 10/10 for her.

This is our first Michelin star restaurant. Very impressed! The setting is intimate, the decor simple elegance with a mid century modern gestalt. On our next visit I’ll pick a day when outdoor temperatures will allow us to explore that space. The staff were professional and engaging, appearing immediately when wanted, and allowing us to enjoy our time when wanted. The food was obviously beautiful, as well as tasty. I particularly appreciated the plating compositions which allowed a thorough exploration of flavors by keeping most elements separated. Especially the fresh greens selected. Due to the quality, a single leaf explodes with flavor complementing the other ingredients while allowing its contribution to be fully appreciated. It was a special occasion for us, and they created a treat to celebrate together. We would definitely recommend for anyone serious about understanding food and discovering new clarity about how each aspect of experience contributes to excellent dining.
