    The food was good, and the server was snobbish

    Beautiful property (maybe in a somewhat odd location), excellent service. Food was unique and delicious, as were the Lodge Signature cocktails. Will definitely become a part of our special occasion rotation.

    We went for our anniversary and sat in the bar area. It was a bit noisy until happy hour ended. The food and drinks were splendid and the service was exceptional.

    Rainbow Lodge in Houston is a culinary gem that truly impresses. The location is tucked back in a wooded corner lot making it feel like an almost forgotten part of the city. I had the wild game mixed grill, complemented by their scrumptious dinner rolls and perfectly creamy mashed potatoes. Every bite was a delicious adventure. I didn’t take enough photos of the interior but the vibes it puts off are awesome. I really liked it and highly recommend this spot for a unique and flavorful dining experience! If it’s nice weather get a table on the back porch the view of the backyard is beautiful.

    I came to dine in for a business trip with my coworkers, and it's my first time to eat at this restaurant.

    The place is nice and cozy. The lighting provides a good ambiance for dining.

    The staff are very attentive, and always make sure to provide our dining experience needs.

    I ordered smoke duck gumbo as my appetizer. The soup consistency is creamy and full of flavors.

    For my entree, I had pan seared red snappers with lump crabs and an add-on of fried oysters and grilled shrimp. This combination of 3 seafood on this order is just perfect for a seafood lover like me.

    Talking about dessert, I had bread pudding.
    It's served on a generous amount and satisfying flavorful of the soft warm bread that just brings me comfort.

    It was definitely a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it.

    What a gem of a restaurant. Came to try out the prix fixe menu for restaurant week and the selection of dishes for the courses was well done and the wild game was well cooked and delicious. The pairing of sauces for the wild game-tasting plate was well thought out with the duck and venison being the highlights. The warm croissant bread pudding was decadent and a great way to round out the meal.
