Chez Nous French Restaurant — Restaurant in Humble

My wife and I decided to go back to celebrate our anniversary since last year our experience was amazing. We were greeted with a friendly smile by Frida. You don’t see that genuine welcome in hostesses in restaurants or businesses nowadays. The maître d, miss Paige was very helpful with providing the ambiance & special attention I desired for my wife for the anniversary. The Champagne Toast / non alcoholic option & an exceptional dessert platter were perfectly presented. Our server Landry was very knowledgeable, courteous and overly attentive with my wife’s dietary needs, since she’s pregnant. The food was delicious, from appetizer and salad, artistically crafted, to entrees paired with master chef attention and detail when it comes to ingredients, sides, sauces and garnishes. I was still surprised of the amount of specials they still have on the menu (soup, salad, appetizers & entrees) & the abundance of choices in the regular menu. Atmosphere was relaxing & enjoyable with soft music. Service pace was great and we even had the assistance of Wine Specialist Isaac who helped me pair my wonderful duck entree with a beautiful choice of French Cabernet Franc. Their wine menu is incredibly impressive, but fairly priced for the value of varietals & unique vintages. Next time we’ll definitely have to try the Chef’s Table multi course selection that was suggested by their manager Gabi, who was kind enough to stop by to wish us Happy Anniversary and congratulations on the baby.

Highly recommend Chez Nous for a quiet date night or special occasion. Don’t miss out on this true gem of cuisine...

👍 This is a restaurant offering fine dining in Humble, Texas. Humble is located northeast of Houston when driving on 59/I-69, and locals are more likely to find the location convenient for celebrating special occasions. However, its proximity to IAH airport makes it ideal for travelers looking for an upscale dining experience. 👍 Reservations are required, and it is advised that diners arrive wearing semi-formal attire or at least what is commonly considered business casual. 👍 The restaurant is well-decorated with paintings and features beautiful patterned wallpaper. 👍 The restaurant offers a nice wine list and can prepare a limited variety of cocktails. 👎 The bread was disappointing. It was definitely not fresh, and was served hard and cold. It did not complement the butter, which had a rich and smooth taste. 🤜 The escargot was okay. It's hard to enjoy another restaurant's escargot after having it at "Brasserie 19" in Houston. 👍 The Crab Tower tasted good and was just enough for everyone at the table. 👍 The Muscovy Duckling was amazing, and the glaze added a pleasant flavor to the dish. 🤜 However, the shepherd's pie that came with the Muscovy Duckling was a little disappointing. It lacked the traditional ingredients of shepherd's pie and consisted only of tender, juicy meat topped with mashed potatoes. 👍 The Scallop and Shrimp Risotto was mostly great, although some diners in my party mentioned that it did not taste as good as expected. 🤜 I don't like sweets and did not have dessert (but that’s a personal...

Let's start out with the good stuff. My wife and I came in on a Friday night. The atmosphere and aesthetics of the place are amazing. It's a nice, somewhat quiet, restaurant converted from an old house. The ambiance was great. The service was decent, nothing went wrong. I feel like, for the price, it could have been a little better. On top of that, my chair was incredibly uncomfortable. I had to keep repositioning myself throughout the meal.

Now, let's get to the food. We started with the crab tower: an amalgamation of blue crab meat, avocado, mangoes, and tomatoes. It was pretty good. My wife had the veal, it wasn't anything to write home about. If it were, I'd have been able to describe it better here. Then, there's my meal...I had the scallops with English pea risotto. To start, the entire dish only had 2 scallops. Why would you serve a scallop dish that doesn't feature scallops? They tried to cover that fact that the scallop portion was skimpy by adding a few rubbery, overcooked shrimp into the mix. That wasn't even the worst part. The risotto was terrible. The consistency was thick and sticky, like it had been sitting around for hours and reheated. To add insult to injury, it was undercooked. There's nothing less appealing than eating a crunchy risotto.

Overall, it was an experience. We definitely won't be coming back here. I suggest you consider skipping this one as well. There are definitely better fine dining...
