Le Jardinier Houston Reviews
Oddly enough I'm a little weary of Michelin restaurants.
More often than not it's great presentation, but you're left hungry and confused. Happily, this wasn't the case at Le Jardinier. I decided to try the restaurant for brunch during Houston Restaurant Weeks to soften the hit to my pocket

We went in late August of 2025, and a few things to note: Food: a) The bread service was good, three different options and the butter was pretty tasty. I liked that they served a more brioche style roll, a parmesan style stick, and a normal piece of
Extraordinary.
The tasting menu was a symphony of beautiful flavor combinations. Some of the perfect bites...yuzu cured salmon, corn risotto, and beautifully cooked lobster. Our server Elviso took great care of us while simultaneously seeming to enjoy speaking to e

This was one experience the girls and I were anxiously awaiting for a few weeks - we were so excited! Highly recommend a reservation as Le Jardinier is only open from 11:30AM to 2PM. When you arrive, you will see a parking garage or valet ($15) opt

With Houston Restaurant Week coming to a close, I decided to treat myself--and I'm so glad I did. A last-minute opening at Le Jardinier turned into an unforgettable experience that already has me planning my return. Nestled in the heart of Houst

Food was delicious and beautifully plated! Everything was good; didn't have a bad bite. Even the bread basket was served warm and fresh. A lot of servers, food runners, and just overall a lot of people working the restaurant. There was a diffe
Well deserved Michelin star.
Highly recommend. Went for our son's birthday - we shall return!

Had an amazing dinner here with my boyfriend! The interior is elegant and romantic - we were so lucky to be seated in a comfortable, spacious booth where we were looking out into the sculpture garden. The big glass windows and the massive tapestry ar
I've been twice now, once for brunch and once for dinner
I've been twice now, once for brunch and once for dinner and in honesty, this place wants to be a lot better than it is. For dinner, the cook in everything was terrific but the sauce on my fish tasted like something out of a can. It basically

My friends and I visited here for a meal during HRW after hearing wonderful things. We were not disappointed! Searching for the restaurant felt like a part of the adventure, and then came the feeling of accomplishment. From the moment I entered, I co
We were here for lunch and food was very good.
Service can surely be better. We had to wait one of the entree for our tables of 4 so my chicken got cold and I personally don't like my food to be cold. I was surprised to see this happened to a Michelin star restaurant. Of course no excuses f
Attentive, team service was exceptional.
But the food steaks the show. Flavorful, moist chicken on polenta; perfectly crisp skin branzino with flavorful fish, great cocktails and wine pairing. We enjoyed every bite and look forward to coming again.

Le Jardinier is probably the fanciest restaurant I've ever been to. The service was exactly what you think of when you think of fine dining. The restaurant is located in the museum - I parked in the garage, following signage for restaurant parki
Exceptional Customer Service and Dining Experience!
Aside from the outstanding meal, the customer experience was second to none. In particular, there was a small hiccup with a food allergy request accidentally being included on the meal. When our waiter came back to check on us, he noticed a portion o
What a lovely experience (even solo), Highly recommend
Called the restaurant on a whim that I might get a seat on a Monday night while in town visiting. Yendis was so kind and got me reserved a bar seat (my preferred!). Brandon the bar manager took excellent care of me. I chose the spring tasting menu es
Dinner for the first time
We have visited this restaurant multiple times, but always for lunch. I guess it was always linked to a visit to the museum. With the inclusion in the Michelin Star rating, we were curious about dinner, since most restaurants try to do their very bes
Le Jardinier + MFAF Birthday Celebration
We like museum restaurants and Le Jardinier is one of the very best. The service is great. with no pretense, just professionalism. The tempo was just right, and multiple staff members acquitted very well. The space is beautiful and well taken care
Lovely birthday celebration
Beautiful presentation! Delicious! A lovely setting and warm, kind, service. The wagyu tartare was delicious. My risotto was tasty but my brother ordered some seafood ravioli which was very interesting as well as tasty. They gave my brother a sur
Way, way overpriced
The newly Michelin-starred Le Jardiner is a French-inspired fine dining restaurant by the art museum in Houston. I don’t mind paying for excellent food and service. Neither the food nor the service were at the level you expect for the prices. Lun
Wonderful dining experience
Elegant, professional staff, superb cuisine. Do not go to Le Jardinier if your goal is to eat. Go if your goal is to dine. Despite traveling extensively in Europe and US we both concur that Le Jardinier is our favorite restaurant of this year.
The interior is very nice! The staff are friendly.
The complimentary bread was kind of dry. The wine pairings and the tasting menu were good! The first course was delicious. The second course cheese soufflé was interesting; it didn't really feel like a soufflé and had an interesting texture, al

Le Jardinier is the place you go to when you want to feel like a celebrity. So, it's a bit of a hidden gem inside a super cool art museum. We arrived on time for our reservation. A gentleman who appeared to be the manager along with someone at the

Located in the MFAH, La Jardinier is probably one of the fancier restaurants in Houston, and maybe the closest thing they have to a Michelin-caliber restaurant (especially since their original restaurant in NY did earn that distinction). The ambience

Heard many great things about Le Jardinier, but mainly the dining service and food presentation carried. Street parking is not easy in the museum district, so the best option is MFAH's underground garage parking (more on this at the end). Very brigh
They tried
The restaurant is minimalist nicely done. Our server was nice yet I do not think he took us through the experience the correct way. We ordered after asking questions. Not sure he cared to describe the dishes. He discouraged us from ordering a lot. T

Super Disappointing Many reviews rave about how good this restaurant is and I have many friends that speak highly of Le Jardinier as well, so it was a HUGE LET DOWN when I came to dine here. To start, we ordered the Garden Salad and Grilled Spanish
This is probably the classiest place to have lunch.
Wow! The view is amazing! There's always professional service. The food is seriously Michelin star worthy! Great quality and selection. Highly recommend!
Been wanting to try Le Jardinier ever since they opened.
They're sister restaurants in Miami and New York have both earned stars from the prestigious Michelin guide, and even if the guide doesn't come to Texas we were expecting a Michelin starred experience here. First things first, the restaurant is loc
Clearly the finest restaurant in town
Houston has thousands of restaurants. A few dozen are very good, but there is a shortage of fine restaurants. Le Jardinier is one of the very few to qualify. The ambience is serene, the sound level allows civilized conversation. The service is polite

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

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Le Jardinier 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 Le Jardinier 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
* FluffyStar64, 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.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Le Jardinier 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 FluffyStar64 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, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64'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 Le Jardinier 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.
