The Sunrise House

“Ishara was AMAZING as our hostess! She gave great recommendations, and asked questions to see what I liked before suggesting anything! Another hostess just checked on us because we were by her table. Great service, awesome food. You need a reservation though!”

“Beautiful spot!! Took my cousin for her birthday and from the moment we walked in it was great vibes!! The interior decor is beautiful and the food was delicious! Strawberry matcha so Yumm and Red velvet waffles are a MUST!! Top all that off with ✨Hope✨ our waitress. She was so nice and friendly! Coming back just for her service!”

“We came here on a whim for a weekday (Wednesday) lunch. We love to try new places when we drive into Houston. First we noticed it is valet only, which is weird for such a small place, but it was only $6 so no biggie. I will say the parking lot needs a lot of work, especially for a place that wants to be considered elevated. When we entered the host was talking to the guest before us asking if she’s wearing sweatpants because they aren’t allowed. She wasn’t and she showed him the were actual pants. He sat them and when he returned he saw us and told me they don’t allow slides. I had on regular Birkenstock Sandals. Don’t get me wrong he wasn’t impolite or rude, but I definitely think for a weekday lunch this is a little much. The restaurant is nice but not nice to that scale. I can understand no visible under garments rules and such. We went to Hudson house to weeks ago, unplanned and not really dressed for it and had no issues. Anyway, he actually looked up what slides are and he agreed I wasn’t wearing slides. Mind you the servers wear shoes and tennis shoes. One had on white tennis shoes with a black uniform. Now the service was 10/10 we had a young Hispanic male and he was amazing. He was very attentive and informative! I had the Golden deviled eggs. They were good but the egg white was a little rubbery, I wouldn’t order again but they weren’t horrible. The bacon on top was the star and the filling was good. I also have a mint cocktail that had gin and berries and it was very good. My friend ordered the catfish and grits. I will say it was really delicious. I rarely eat grits anywhere because they are always under seasoned. These were seasoned, creamy and cheesy. The catfish itself was really crispy and had a lot of flavor! I would definitely return for the food and service. The price was reasonable for the portions and flavor.”

“Grits with a twist… Service and atmosphere: This place is very popular so I would recommend you to get a reservation. Service was very good. All staff were nice and friendly. The restaurant was well decorated and had good vibes. Food and drinks: No disappointment in any of the two areas. There were good food choices on the menu. All dishes that we ordered were served timely and were nicely plated. The egg rolls had flavourful filling and the pastry had perfect crunch. The avocado toast was also full of flavour and tasted very good. Same goes for fried chicken sandwich. I also ordered side of Cajun grits which was delicious and I highly recommend you to try it. We didn’t have any alcoholic beverages but the cocktails we saw on the tables looked great. Pricing: $$ - definitely worth it.”

“Tried to visit here last week, but the restaurant was closed for maintenance, which is understandable. However, the closure wasn't clearly communicated on the website, Yelp, or any social media pages. I gave it another shot today. The hostess attempted to seat us near the restroom, but we absolutely refused. The staff then accommodated us with a table in the corner by the bar. The manager also offered us a complimentary appetizer and apologized sincerely. Briana, our waitress, was the highlight; she was attentive, quick, and friendly. The food was okay. Overall, we spent $97 for two people, including a 20% gratuity, not counting the tip for the waitress and valet. Rating: 2.5 out of 5.”
