Absolutely love this place, the membership is definitely worth it, so if you’re thinking about , just get it. It’s great for networking the foods great and the events (bourbon tasting) are amazing.

Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. We would recommend this place for a romantic date night. Service by Benita was impeccable. She was so gracious and helpful. Ask for her to get top notch service.

Came and ate here before my show. I loved the room and how intimate the dining area is. I wish the menu had more food options. The food we got was good.

Great place to hang out and get great food. Had a John Wick vibe and rather enjoyed everything about the place. Would love to go back.

Extremely offensive, my humble request to owners to remove Hindu god statues and decorate the space. Have some regard for other people and their religion.

Review №6

The food in this place is out of this world. I saw someone get so excited with this food that they threw it up and tried to eat it again. But the other guests nearby were grossed out and didnt let them finish. In the end this gourmet food was covered in dust and left for other people to take samples home on the bottom of their shoes.Oh and the Waterpark band was ok I guess.

Took my GF there as she wanted to check it out. The place was very cozy and it was different than most places. My Girl had crab cakes which were good. The music was way too loud. It was so loud that I could not hear anything or even have a conversation. When the band stated playing, it was worse. To the point tge music was so muddy sounding it was just noise. In summary, the music level was the negative otherwise evrrything was fine, so if you are going to go get ear plugs, you will need them

We enjoyed going here and listening some music. Overall it was a good experience. We paid for the VIP which is $150 but all you’re really getting is a seat versus standing up. The service is extremely slow due due to the fact that lacks staffing in the VIP section. Ordered one drink and could never get a second because the servers were buried.We will come back, but we will think twice about spending for the VIP because it means really nothing.

Chill place to have a drink and a bite before the HOB show. Decor is early 70s Rolling Stones in Morocco :) Make reservations here before the show, get in early and bypass that awful HOB line.

We went there for a friend who had performance with her band on Friday night. Lovely place. I bought the ticket to get in for $12/person online, but you could buy one on the spot also. We watched 3 performances that night.

Review №15

It’s hard to overstate how poor the service was. Water glasses sat empty for a very long time until we requested to have them refilled. The drinks took FOREVER. I ordered the NY Strip steak medium rare and it was cooked every bit of well done and dry as hell. Would not be worth it at even half the price.

It was hard to find but once you find it, your in for a treat! It’s a nice little tucked away gem. They offer open mic every so often and believe me when I say it’s sooo GOOD🩷

Beautiful space, a little tight in the entertainment area, when I went last week the bartender lady was mean as hell (on her birthday none the less). $15+ drinks and they fill the small cup half way. I still enjoyed myself.

Always a great time doing work here for clients parties, whether private or corporate. Its just a great venue hands down to have a celebration. Open yet intimate. The staff is a pleasure to work with, very helpful with getting all the necessities that well need in order to make the clients party a success. If youre looking for a great venue. that is well known and the management team and staff are a joy to work with, this is it! Cant wait to come.back next and do it all over again. #houseofblues foundationroom #djyogi

Atmosphere was amazing ADULTISH LOVE IT! Customer service not great at all not enough servers and waited an hour in a half for WATER! Inform three servers and finally after the third one we received WATER! OUR SHOTS didn’t come for an HOUR! The Mai Tacos was cold and the Califlower was over cooked… other than that the entertainment won for us!

Always a great time when I come here. Never overly crowded but enough people there to have a great time with friends. The live bands are always amazing. Definitely a great hidden gem. I also love the way you have to check in so I feel comfortable with the type of crowd that enters. Its never random drunk people floating around.

Review №26

They get one star for ambiance....other than that, its definitely not the place to go. We shouldve known when there was only two other couples there on a Saturday night. Our drinks ran empty, we were not asked if we wanted more. ALL of our steaks were over cooked....we all ordered medium rare, they were all cooked all the way through, no pink at all. When we asked to speak to a manager, the host brought us shots. We never saw a manager. Epic fail. 10/10 do not recommend

Night Out With The Girls ended up being great!! Thank you to Rocky who was absolutely amazing and kept us laughing all night long. Our server gave great suggestions as far as food selections. The fire dancer was a hottie. 🔥 Overall vibe was laid back and care free. Great experience and will definitely be a return customer.

Review №28

Went for the 1st Friday Caribbean Night and really enjoyed ourselves. Go earlier in the evening for a lounge-type experience. The later it gets, the wilder it gets, not dangerous wild, just young wild and more crowded. Crowd was very diverse, as reggae lovers span a spectrum of people. Foundation Room staff is very attentive, still touches of the private club it was before COVID. 360° photos set up in one of the rooms was a nice touch and fun way to remember the evening. What a great space -- spacious, versatile, and intimate, all at the same time. It was our first time there, but we will certainly be going back and possibly hosting some event in the future.

I loved this place! Wed never been before and were totally surprised when we arrived. The ambiance is amazing! The drinks were wonderful!

Awesome atmosphere and the staff is great. Ive been watching this bartender Kevin work his butt off the entire night. I would definitely ask for him if I want my drinks made right. His attention to detail is crazy. You can tell this is what hes passionate about.

Review №33

I dont dislike . Being old school, I like the concept of supper club , low lights, soft music and champagne which was supposed to be given according to your menu, upon arrival.However, was disappointed as none of this occurred. Very much aware you were short of staff, but lowering the lights and especially the music would have made it easier to sit and visit while waiting.When we finally did get our food it was delicious . Oh, and we did receive the champagne with dessert . Thank you.Would I go back again, No !

Review №34

Kind of an older classy feel to it. It had two separate rooms so you could actually have two different types of parties going on at once. One area was set up like a concert and the other was set up like a classy bar. Overall it was a nice experience.

Hidden gem within the House of Blues compound. Decor and vibe make you want to listen to Hendrix as well as Tribe Called Quest all night long. Service, from the bouncer to the host to the bartender, is always fantastic. The food is excellent. Their Korean Chicken and Tempura Cauliflower are a must.

Review №42

Was visiting from Philly and went on a Thursday to see the band The Righteous Vibe play on the Lounge side. (They play there every other Thursday, and one of the band members told us to come through.) The ambience/decor is elegant with detailed masonry and design. The staff is very friendly - one of the bartenders went to find coffee for me even though they didnt actually offer it. The food was really good, and it shouldve been, for the price. There were 2 of us and our entrees were over $30 each. The drinks were around $15 each, and all of the Lounge menu items were around $15. Point is, be prepared to spend mucho dinero.One more thing: the crowd is sexy and stylish so definitely dress to impress!

Incredible is an understatement to what they offer. The food was created by a very talented culinary team and it shows. The cocktails are thirst quenching and professionally made by Houstons finest bartenders. The staff is on top of everything, they put the LIT in hospitality. Music and ambiance is always evolving which shows how diverse this brand is. Will always return. Incredible!!!

Review №50

$14 for an unbalanced cocktail in a plastic cup? These guys are too proud. This used to be a fun, sexy place to hang out. Especially after shows. But now its just kind of sad. Maybe if they brought the lights down a little more. Then they might have an easier time hiding the aging bartenders and clientele that looks like a bus loaded up a random group from Wal Mart on a Friday night and unloaded here. Im sad this place is a shell of what it once was. Last time for me here.

We were blown away by the incredible hospitality of Jonathan, Rocky, and the entire HoB Foundation Room team. We co-hosted an event for our community this evening at Foundation Room, and our neighbors were so warmly welcomed and treated like royalty the entire time! From start to finish, the entire event was such a success! Many of our neighbors mentioned their interest in a membership with HoB; they were incredibly impressed. Jonathan gave a phenomenal, show-stopping tour, and we are so grateful for the time and tremendous kindness provided by the HoB team!
