Theodore Rex Houston Reviews
It had been a couple of years since I had last been to T.
Rex and I was pretty excited to try the new menu. I set an alarm for when the reservations would open but was still only able to get a patio table for 4. We lucked out with the weather and the patio was actually kind of delightful with only one table

Came here on a business trip and loved it so much, I came back the next night. Great service, friendly staff, and amazing food! You will not regret coming here.
A movie set restaurant - all bark, no bite
I write this review out of utmost respect and care for the person reading it. I strongly advise against visiting this restaurant. The service is stilted, and the waiters aren't friendly. Between the "small dishes" and the "large d

I had a wonderful meal at Theodore Rex and I really recommend this place for a romatic date or a good time to talk with friends. The service is excellent. Our server knew the wine list well and recommended a great bottle for us to share, knowing we
Amazing solo dinner.
Had a chef's choice tasting menu. Mushroom broth - weird but so aromatic. Hiramasa-more or less yellowtail- the olive oil was unbelievably fragrant and delicious. Tomato toast- good. Beef dumplings were very buttery and good. I had the onions bu

Amazing spot! It is very small and quaint inside, and doesn't feel stuffy at all somehow. The wait staff is very attentive and friendly, and give great recommendations. I started out with a cider which was excellent, and my husband got a glass

I've heard about this place for years but never had the chance to go. Getting there was a bit of a journey. I originally made a reservation last month, but it was canceled by the restaurant due to overbooking. We rescheduled for the beginning of

When we got seated, the server keeps on suggesting we should get 5-6 courses for just 2 people. We weren't that hungry and thought they just had small tapa size, but when the food came out (it took very long between dishes) it was actually decen

Everything was phenomenal, from the food to the service to the drinks. Seating is tight quarters, so don't be divulging any juicy secrets; everyone could hear you.
Amazing from start to finish! Very quaint spot situated
Amazing from start to finish! Very quaint spot situated outside of downtown. Food was spectacular! The coconut chicken looks odd but was the best tasting dish in my opinion. I can see why it's a staple. Our server was really cool and even ga

Went out to celebrate my brother in laws masters graduation last night and hadn't been to T-Rex in a few years but really remember loving it. Sat down as a party of 4 and asked for some wines by the glass, server gave us a taste and the wives di

25 min wait-after reservation time- No apology or take off on the bill -Shocking
Idon't write this negative review lightly, but waiting 25 mins after our reservations start time for our table is unacceptable. I don't think the team tried to correct this the rest of the evening through other means nor was an apology and
An exceptional eatery
Although James Beard Foundation Award winner Justin Yu shuttered tasting menu-only Oxheart in 2017 his cooking remains innovative and exciting in its current form at Theodore Rex, named after the Chef’s nephew. Located just off the highway in a co
Innovative and delicious
We had a fantastic dinner last night. The small plates were outstanding, prepared with loving care and an impeccable command of the saucing techniques. The vegetarian broth was out of this world, as were the grouper and the pasta dishes. Truly high e
There Are Finer Options
I am giving Theodore Rex credit for the hiramasa, which was the only dish I found to be truly palatable that I could not easily duplicate. The summer melon with pineapple was great, and you can make it at home to serve ten at half the price we paid
Wonderful restaurant
I don't understand some of the negative reviews. This restaurant is fantastic - very creative food you will not find elsewhere, attentive staff, relaxing but elegant atmosphere. Don't go if you want a huge dish of expensive food but not
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
By far, the worst experience I, and others could ever experience. I had Veronica as my waiter, which is nothing to complain about her, she was great. However; while eating my small plate, on my left side I had a nice downtown view but on my right sid
Why have a reservation email and not honor it?
Their email RESERVATIONS@TREXHOUSTON.COM is actually not for reservations. They will send you somewhere else. They will not honor it. I have been trying to book a reservation for a week. What a mess. Not client friendly.
Tired of the same ol' food?
What we love about Theodore Rex are all of the shareable plates of the most wonderfully creative dishes and the friendly and attentive staff. Also, you can have a gourmet dinner and definitely not feel out of place in you jeans. It's a tiny and
Connect with users posting reservations for Theodore Rex Houston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Theodore Rex Houston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Theodore Rex Houston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Theodore Rex Houston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Theodore Rex Houston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Theodore Rex Houston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
