    The service was great, waiter was attentive, & offered good knowledge when it came to questions we had about the menu. I also had the chocolate mousse for dessert, which was absolutely delicious. Our drinks were enjoyable as well. We will be back.

    Our group gave Annabelle a 7.8/10. The total came to about $147, and while we enjoyed parts of the experience, it felt like the atmosphere outshined the food.

    The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. It’s one of the most Instagram-worthy spots we’ve visited, and it seemed like every table was filled with people taking photos and enjoying the aesthetic. If you’re looking for a gorgeous brunch spot, Annabelle definitely delivers.

    We started with the pastry basket, which was very good. At around $24 for the basket, it worked out to nearly $5 per pastry, which felt a little pricey, but we still enjoyed it.

    My husband ordered the raclette cheese service with prosciutto and bread. The tableside presentation was fun, and what really stood out was a bell pepper and tomato oil mixture served alongside it—it was packed with flavor and ended up being one of our favorite bites of the meal. Unfortunately, neither the prosciutto nor the other cured meats impressed anyone at the table. For a restaurant that seems to place so much emphasis on bread and European-inspired offerings, we expected much better quality from those components.

    Our friend ordered the croque monsieur, and it was one of the biggest disappointments of the meal. It was bland, forgettable, and simply not worth the price. When you’re charging premium prices, the food should leave an impression, and this dish completely missed the mark.

    The coffee was okay, nothing remarkable.

    My daughter chose the Nutella banana crepe. Unfortunately, the crepe was also a miss for us. The bananas tasted dehydrated, and their flavor completely overpowered the rest of the dish. She couldn’t finish it.

    Service was excellent throughout the meal. The staff was attentive, friendly, and one of the strongest parts of the experience.

    Overall, Annabelle is a beautiful place with great service and a few standout items, but the food didn’t quite live up to the hype for us. We enjoyed the visit, but it’s not somewhere we’d go out of our way to return to. The atmosphere is memorable; the food, unfortunately, wasn’t.

    Went for brunch/ lunch with some friends to celebrate my friends sister recent birthday. Sat in a nice cozy section and was waited on by Kat. Love young lady with an adorable personality and smile. I wasn’t familiar with this restaurant but I had an appreciation for French cuisine and culture. First and foremost love the atmosphere walking up to the front door. It was already a beautiful restaurant that I knew guest could take pictures and make memories. Walking in feels like you traveled through time and space. Very attractive and aesthetically pleasing decor everywhere. The ceiling in the main dining room is *chefs kiss*. You would want to return just to try out the different rooms to enjoy. The patio over looks a decent view of Allen parkway and the high glass wall helps prevent any mishaps that nature could bring. Back to our dining experience, Kat was an awesome waitress she helped me navigate through the menu and helped me decent in the Spanish Octapus and half dozen oysters. My friends got Muscles, mac & cheese, a fancy type of grilled cheese sandwich and a burger that had some awesome smoked bacon. I didnt have any alcohol but my friends enjoyed a strawberry martini and a espresso martini. I tried the strawberry martini- delicious to say the least. My food was a 10 out of 10. Delicious octopus with a tomato and greens salad that complemented it very well. I ate the salad first before combining the two. The octopus tentacles were thick and delicious with a nice char to it. The oysters couldn’t have been better but they could have been bigger. We laughed and took pictures between dishes the entire time. Definitely a recommendation from me. Price wise it was kinda high but for four people we keep it under $300. Oh let me not for get about dessert. I didn’t order any but let me tell you NOTHING IS NOT DELICIOUS. I didn’t get the name of any of the dessert dishes because it came as a surprise to me. The chocolate mousse was eye rolling good. They have a Pistachio cake like dessert that will have you committing robbery for more. Please try them out and tell Kat I said hi

    We celebrated my daughter’s 16th birthday here and it was perfect. My wife and I sat separately while the girls had their own table, and the staff made her feel truly special, including alcohol-free mimosas for a birthday toast. She told me all her friends loved the food and had a great time.

    For us, the branzino and snapper were both excellent, honestly hard to choose which was better. Great recommendation from the manager to pair it with a Cabernet Sauvignon. The cocktails were amazing and the oysters were fresh and delicious.

    Beautiful décor, glamorous vibe, fair prices for the quality and service. Very Instagrammable, especially with the pink car outside. We’ll definitely be back.

    Was looking for a fancy restaurant to take my kiddo for her birthday and this place was recommended. It certainly did not disappoint. Make sure to make a reservation btw. We sat in the main dining room, but the sun room and patio both looked nice. The food is French and lots of different options. I ordered the Atlantic salmon which was delish, the steak and frites were amazing and the pasta was great. They brought out a tart that said happy birthday and a candle which was nice. No singing though. It’s pretty pricey, but at least they have valet. I would definitely come back

    We visited this wish-listed spot for brunch with a friend and found it very quaint and charming. Parking is a bit inconvenient, as it requires using a paid parking garage followed by a walk to the restaurant, so that’s something to plan for in advance.

    This is a lovely place for a ladies’ brunch and would be well suited for birthdays or family gatherings. The décor is beautiful and thoughtfully done, and we appreciated the cleanliness of the bathrooms. We also enjoyed a quiet booth, though foot traffic from both guests and servers frequently passed by our table. If you’re planning an event or prefer more privacy, it may be worth requesting a more secluded seating area.

    Unfortunately, service was quite slow. We had to ask about our order multiple times, flag staff down for refills, and wait 10–15 minutes after finishing our appetizer before our server returned while we were ready for our entrée. We also would have appreciated more guidance from our server regarding daily specials or menu recommendations, as that information wasn’t offered.

    Portion sizes were reasonable, and the timing between courses was appropriate overall. The cocktails, however, were excellent and definitely a highlight—we would highly recommend them.

    We would consider visiting again, but next time would likely request a different seating location and hope for more attentive service.

    The food is probably some of the best French food I have had outside of Europe. The location and ambience of the place is good. The service however for a top class restaurante isn’t so hot which drags this down. The wait staff are super slow and not really that attentive. I hope to be back and for a better experience.

    Not the Berg Service I am used to at the Annie. Food was good, as I expected. Although, I feel that if I am eating at a restaurant owned by a group, the service shouldn't be noticeable.

    The hostess, at the time over our visit came off kinda unprofessional with a slight uninviting attitude.

    All-in-all, it's a Berg Hospitality so the food and atmosphere is going to be on a higher level as you would expect.

    Such a disappointment. I really wanted to love this cute restaurant. While the server was attentive and the cocktails were very tasty, the food was in part inedible. The overly sweet French Onion Soup was so loaded with bread & onions that there was little broth. The Jumbo Lump Crab Salad had not one piece of lump crab. The crab was instead mixed/mashed in to a near paste smeared on the plate. The biggest disappointment was the Steak Frites. We ordered it medium rare. It was rare and very tough. The frites were barely warm. It was very busy and we had waited a substantial amount of time so we didn’t ask for replacements. With all the great reviews this one will most likely not be noticed. However, I think it only fair to report our experience.

    Went today for new years lunch, great drinks, a little pricy but decent food. I got the scallops but they didn’t take the foot off of them, the sear on them was mediocre. Great steak tartare though!

    The place is extremely cute. For me, it is hard to find a cute restaurant that has good food too (including dessert) but I absolutely loved it here. Unfortunately, the place gets extremely packed and although we had a reservation we still had to wait about 20 mins to get seated. I will give it a try for date night or simply to try something new in Houston!

    This is a very unique and interesting restaurant that puts off a festive vibe during the Christmas holiday. The menu is great and the menu includes some unique offerings. It’s definitely a great place for some fun vibes.

    Beautiful ambiance! Come for breakfast during the week and I loved that it wasn’t over crowded. The most incredible French toast with so many flavors-a must try!

    Steven was my server and did a phenomenal job. One of the top notch service providers that are hard to come across these days.

    Wow, 𑁍♡𑁍

    Annabelle Brasserie is such a beautiful place. The way they implemented floral decor and bright colors really opens up the space, bringing elegance & warmth.

    The service was amazing and I’m grateful for how patient and welcoming the server was.

    I enjoyed the scones & pastries, the food however, could use just a little bit more taste. It was a bit bland but overall the presentation was astoundingly beautiful .. I’d visit again but next time, during dinner hours.

    The cutest restaurant! The general area is very nice as well. I parked in the garage not far from the restaurant and rode the elevator down but they have valet. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was really good- the fish I ordered was full of flavor. When I go back I want to try the pastry basket because it appeared to be very popular since everyone was ordering it.
