MAVEN at Sawyer Yards — Restaurant in Houston

So it is like this, i saw this post on tik tok from the executive chef advertising the steak night, it sounded amazing, from how she explain the steak, the sides, the atmosphere, and the spacious parking lot. To my surprise the only great thing was the parking lot.

I arrived with my friend around 5:40PM, by the time we place our order it was 6:00PM, 2 steak night specials medium temperature , with loaded fries(the advertised specials were baked potatoes, but it was for the people who make reservations, which is understandable), and a service of 12 oysters, by 7:00 PM nothing haven’t arrived to the table, we spoke with the waitress (which were courteous all the time), by this point we notice a couple of steaks plates being returned by other tables, and people already complaining about the wait time. 7:15PM the steaks arrived (not the oysters yet), to our surprise the steak were medium well almost well done, but the worst is that they were cold, after waiting more than an hour, and then your food arriving cold is unacceptable, we asked for the steaks to be re-fired, by 7:25pm the oysters arrived, but they were 11 instead of 12, it seems minimal, but it was already adding on to a annoying experience, 7:40 PM the new steaks arrived, cook perfectly, but the side change from fries to tater tots (which tasted like the frozen ones at walmart), the waitress was friendly at let us know that we wouldn’t need to pay for the steak specials, just the oysters l, but we did have to correct the check because it still had the specials in there.

Is sad going to a place, just for the simple reason of having a good time, and try a new place, you never know it this will be your next go to spot. But in this case, i wouldn’t return, because the experience provided...

We came specifically for the Houston restaurant week brunch and we’re really dissatisfied. It was very busy so we sat at the bar (which is totally fine, our bad for not making a reservation!), our orders were taken, we received our drinks and first course and then were ignored for almost an hour. No one refilled our water glasses, asked how we were doing, or cleared the dirty plates that had been sitting empty. When we finally caught the waitresses attention it was clear she had forgotten to place our second course orders with the kitchen. When the food did come our chilaquiles were near inedible, the chips were completely soggy and mushy, the fried egg was overdone, crispy, and barely runny, and the salsa was overwhelming because of how much was on the plate. By the time the third course came (an underfilled “poptart” and a store bought tasting cinnamon roll) we were ready to go. Credit where it’s due, the cocktails and French fries (one in our party got the croque madame) were very good but we were overall severely disappointed. We will...

Came here for brunch with friends after a class at Yoga Better. It's a cute place with a nice aesthetic. The food and my espresso martini was good. 3 out of 4 of us ordered the breakfast tacos (avocado black beans and egg & tater tot pico and eggs) which came with potatoes. My friend also ordered the waffles and they enjoyed it. I also ordered the blueberry muffin but it never came out which leads me to my next point and the reason for my rating. The service was lackluster or non-existent. The waitress came to take our drink order and it felt like a lot of time had passed before she came back to take our food order. The food came out and not once did the waitress or anyone else come back to check on us. Had she done that she would have known my muffin never came out. She finally came by to give us our check and apologize for not coming back to check on us. The bright side was they comped my muffin. I'll check them out again and hope the...
