7/14/2009 Alain "I'm Too Sexy" H. says:

My fiancée and I are regulars of this terrific small French café that also deserves consideration. Similar to cafés born in Paris, Bistro des Amis, located in Houston's Rice Village/West U area, exemplifies the standards that have pleased diners in France for years.

Following in this tradition, Bistro des Amis offers a relaxed and unassuming environment attracting diners who might wish to linger over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, or to enjoy a hearty meal.

As in Paris, Bistro des Amis has become a social meeting place for locals and visitors alike. Bistro des Amis offers a pleasant dining experience any time of day.

They're open for lunch as well as a prepared prix-fixe three-course dinner that guests may complement with a fine bottle of wine from a great wine list.

Offering favorite French dishes, Bistro des Amis recaptures the ambience and character of the traditional café culture. The bistro decor of earthy tones, dark wood, a gleaming pastry case, along with mementos and paintings from Chef Cullier's hometown of Biarritz.

Biarritz is located in the traditional province of Labourd (Aquitaine region) of the French Basque Country, the only part of France where chile peppers are traditional. The bistro is casual yet elegant. And the sunny patio is a perfect setting to enjoy food and drinks.

Bistro des Amis is available for those simply wanting an excellent cup of coffee, or drop in for a generous salad at lunch or sit down to a relaxing three-course dinner. Bistro des Ami's goal appears to be to create a memorable experience and bon appetit!

The Bistro is also a great destination for a weekend brunch when the sunny garden patio is particularly popular, where one can relax with a café crème and a homemade French pastry.

French Chef-Owner, Bernard Cullier, takes pride in the art of recreating and innovating traditional French recipes as he once did while cooking on cruise ships for most of his career. Bernard bakes all the pastries, which includes apple tarts in the shape of apples, and an outstanding gâteau Basque.

Fresh seasonal ingredients are prepared with special imported French food products to create both classic and contemporary dishes reflecting his Gallic roots.

The broad menu includes standouts like succulent escargot in garlic butter sauce served in a crock covered with puff pastry and a mesclun salad with Roquefort cheese, apples, grapes, croutons and tiny cherry tomatoes with the skins removed.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, there's an amazingly cheap $20 dinner special that includes an appetizer, soup, entrée, two vegetables and dessert. A filet mignon in wine sauce was one of the best entrées I sampled.

Bienvenue et Bon Appétit!

Farrah, should we review the restaurant we went to under the restaurant or under yelp eats?

Please review the Yelp Eats 2009 listing: http://www.yelp.com/ev...

We're listing "Yelp Eats" separately from the businesses for this special Yelp promotion so that yelpers can give us feedback on "Yelp Eats" without reviewing the restaurant until they return for a separate, more typical, customer experience (not everyone's lucky enough to get a 3 course meal for $25). And when you decide to visit that restaurant again, feel free to review the actual restaurant.

Gravitas was tasty tonight..

- Roasted beet salad with truffled goat cheese
- Slow Roasted Spice Rubbed Pork Shoulder
- Vanilla pound cake with ice cream

after tasting the panna cotta, i would definitely recommend it over the pound cake though.

Perry's on I-10 ........ what a really incredible evening we had.   It is a VERY beautiful restaurant, with impeccable service.  We ordered the Asparagus w/crabmeat and lemon butter appetizer, and the pork chop.  The appetizer was delicious but very rich, and hard for us to finish.   The pork chop was incredible....huge....at 7-fingers high as they describe it.  It had been marinated, and roasted to a caramelized brown on the outside, and it was juicy and succulent on the inside.  We took half of it home, as it was more than we could eat.   The dessert was a trio of small desserts....creme brulee, cheesecake, and a very dark chocolate ball.  The chocolate ball was the only thing served that I wasn't fond of.    All in all, everything was perfect, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and the evening.

Farrah - great job.  It was a delish week w/ good times, food, and folks.  If At&t wouldn't be the biggest pain in my ass, I'd have reviewed them already.  Will post soon.

You guys will never believe this... I had my reservation taken at VOICE about a week ago for SUNDAY at 6 PM (26th)... All I wanted to do to end my birthday weekend (which all had basically sucked anyway) was end it by eating at VOICE... They even said they'd be specially open on Sunday for Yelp so I call at 4:30 PM to change my reservation time to 5 PM because I'm starving... Then I'm told that VOICE is always closed on Sundays. I drove down there all dressed up just to see. They were empty. The bar tender helped a lot but I was still really bummed out. I ended up eating at Benjy's where i was totally unsatisfied.           =(         bad birthday food always sucks.

They told me that when I tried making reservations over a week ago. I wanted Sunday but they immediately informed me they were closed on Sundays. Guessed they decided not to open. Bummer, you missed a great meal. They owe you one Justine!
