The Nash - Houston

When we approached the bar, the bartender greeted us without much enthusiasm, simply stating that she would be with us shortly. It seemed she was the only bartender around, handling drink orders while also serving tables throughout the restaurant, which may have contributed to the service delay. When our food finally arrived, I was disappointed to find that the burger was undercooked. Throughout our meal, the bartender didn’t inquire about how we were enjoying the food or our experience. The atmosphere, especially during this holiday season, was quite pleasant, but unfortunately, we left feeling that we wouldn’t return. The food lacked flavor, and there’s definitely room for improvement in their customer service interactions.

This restaurant is lovely. When we pulled up I was immediately relieved with our choice before seeing The Nutcracker at Wortham. They have a beautiful Christmas tree up, and the decor is very tasteful and relaxing. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Drinks were delicious. I had the Short Rib Pappardelle and my husband had the salmon with mushroom risotto. The Pappardelle was surprisingly spicy and had a very unique flavor. We really enjoyed it. My husband said his salmon was cooked perfectly and we are both ready to go back for more risotto. It was perfection! Everything was hot and fresh. The owner came over after our meal as not to intrude on our date night which was so thoughtful. The story of their menu creation is very interesting. I'll let him tell you when you check it out yourself...We'll certainly be back. Thank you for a very enjoyable dinner. Merry Christmas!

Portion sizes were laughable. Three of us got salads that were side salad sized and one person got the tiniest salmon filet ever. The dessert was even tiny. We felt ripped off. Won't dine there again.

We arrived a little before our reservation time and were seated immediately because the restaurant was very quiet (especially for a Saturday night. There was initially confusion between the two servers about who would be waiting on us but once that was decided, we placed our drink order. We then waited 35 minutes for the drinks and at one point another server placed a drink in front of us and walked away. It took 5 minutes to flag her down and explain this was not ours (but apparently for the table next to us . After waiting for almost 40 minutes and never having placed a food order we paid for the 2 drinks and left. This restaurant was seemingly understaffed and overwhelmed by the 10 occupied tables. We never saw food being run out of the kitchen, but did see the chef come out and start seating tables. It was a bizarre situation and we definitely won't be back.

I'm traveling to Houston for work staying downtown. The Nash has very good food with nice presentations. The steak tartar was very flavorful and seasoned well. The shirt rib pasta was a little spicy with homemade pasta. WVery light and delicious dish.
