Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Downtown

We ordered the Mahi-Mahi grilled and the Salmon blackened. Both dishes were prepared as ordered, but both fish dinners were overly buttered or oiled. The sides of spinach and broccolini were also excessively oily - if you prefer non-oily vegetables, then ask for them dry. The portions were good and the value was fine. The sourdough bread was a bit chewy and the server did not ask if we wanted more bread when our dinners arrived, and actually took the little bit of bread left in the basket away. I also ordered the Field of Greens salad and other than maybe 2 or 3 pecans and a very tiny portion of cheese, it was just greens. I expected a lot more pecans and cheese for a $12 salad. I also had to keep asking the waiter for more hot water for the hot tea I was drinking, as he was not watching closely for drink refills. My husband had to ask for more wine as well, instead of the serving noticing that he had no wine left in his glass and might want more. The food was served a bit on the cold side. All in all, it was an adequate meal, but it could have been so much better with a bit more attention to detail on the food temperature, the service and the oilyness of the fish and vegetables.

We had an early dinner before a concert at House of Blues. We were seated and served promptly, the food and service were very good. I would recommend Hearsay on the Green to anyone as a convenient place to eat to anyone going to an event at HoB, Toyota Center, or any other downtown venue.

Everything was outstanding including the service, the ambience, the attention to detail, and especially the food. Four different meals including appetizers, drinks, main dish, and dessert - all were excellent.

Juan took great care of us. Our table ordered the diver scallops, chicken fried chicken, and chicken fried steak. All were well prepared and flavorful. We had not been to this Federal Grill location before, but will return. Very close to walk to Discovery Green for an after dinner stroll.

Our waitress Amanda was very attentive. Enjoyed the music and the live DJ. The only thing with music it could be a "little...just little lower" cus it was sometimes to hear each other or the waitress
