Campechano was excellent. Also had the tuna mesquite chargrilled with potatoes/green beans, all of which was great flavor. Wife, seafood allergies, had the 8oz filet and it was perfect cooked, moist and flavorful. Definitely a top shelf meal.

Took my family to watch the Texas Longhorns play Miss State. The food, service and ambience were great. Really love their organic offerings and my family had a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend for fun gatherings and sports.

Our receptionist kindly seated us away from an area where a large table was expected. The menu is very diverse and interesting. The gumbo was savory and authentic. I really enjoyed the branzino that reminded me of the seaside restaurants in Croatia.The limoncello cheesecake was outstanding. We also shared a pizza that was crispy and delicious. Our server Julian was personable and efficient. I will be returning for the shrimp and grits sometime soon.

Love this place! We've been several times, and it never disappoints. Whether you're looking for a date night, a place to celebrate a special occasion, or just somewhere to relax and hang out with friends, Private Client is a great choice. The food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. I don't know who's running their kitchen, but whoever their chef is deserves some serious credit because everything we've tried has been incredibly well prepared. The portions are adequate, but if you're accustomed to Texas-sized meals, you may want to order a three-course meal to leave completely satisfied. The atmosphere is another highlight. They have a live DJ in the evenings, a great vibe, and they're open late, making it a perfect spot to unwind without feeling rushed. They're only open a few days a week, but I honestly think this is one of Houston's most underrated spots. I don't think enough people even know it exists, which is a shame because it's truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend!
