Holley's Seafood Restaurant & Oyster Bar

I really wish I liked this place as much as everyone else does. The food does give you a lot to like. The service was impeccable and the peanut soup was AMAZING. But the ribeye did not pack $56 worth of punch. My redfish was overcooked and the single shortrib agnolotti (small ravioli) was hardly worth mentioning in as much detail as the menu provided. I had 2 nice glasses of wine with expert guidance from the attentive waiter, but was underwhelmed by the options available by the glass. One last picky note, the dining room had a strange, dated feel and we had to ask to move from the front dining

Upscale restaurant with amazing $1 oyster and happy hour dishes. This is the best happy hour I've ever had in Houston!

Went here for a birthday dinner during Houston Restaurant weeks. We were a slightly larger group. We all had something different and were all satisfied. The waitress was ok but the fact that the Chef/owner came to our table a couple times to say hello and see how we were doing. Definately a plus!!! I've never had oysters so it's hard for me to rate these but the flavor was excellent! I'd try them again. The fish and kimchi were also delicious, a little on the spicy side but perfect for me! I wish I could of started with dessert that coconut cake..oh..my..GOD! So good! Moist and very sweet...like

This place is nothing short of Amazing. The owner and Chef has an awesome spirit he was beyond nice and made us all feel comfortable and welcome. The food was awesome the oysters favorable, chowder awesome and oh the pork chop. I didn't have room for dessert but needed to taste it. I love everything about my experience here!

My wife and I came for the Valentine's preset menu. The food was delicious and were nice size portions. We ate the Thai fried snapper, valentine's oysters and pork belly.
The owner came to greet us and he was a wonderful man. Just had one problem with our server at the end. .

My husband took me here on the eve of my birthday. Not only it was cozy and aesthetically good, the food was excellent. The mussels in a Thai sauce was an instant favorite. The raw oysters was so fresh, although a bit pricey. Happy hour is the bomb. The bartender is so friendly and knowledgeable! I am a freak when it comes to restrooms cleanliness, and theirs was exceptional! We'll be back 😊

Chef Holley has put together an excellent seafood menu from start to finish. Hands down one of, if not the best, seafood restaurants in town.

I really like this place. Food and service were fantastic! We had the crab cake to start off and the grouper and scallops as entrees, and everything was amazing. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I also appreciated that the chef would come out and talk with the patrons about the food. I want to go back for the Thai fried snapper. It looked really good.

Finally stopped in for lunch and tried the Gumbo and Cured Salmon. The gumbo was wonderful. Lots of seasons (especially okra) and well stocked. It also had a bit of a kick. If you like smoked salmon you will love the Cured Salmon dish. Honestly it was probably more suited as an appetizer than a main dish, but tasty non the less. The best experience was dessert. I had the Apple Pie Bread Pudding which was excellent. Kudos to the staff as well.

Holley's is a very nice establishment. The waitstaff is courteous and well trained and the decor is spot on. The menu selection is varied without overburdening the patrons. The food was very good although I feel it needed the slightest nudge. The gumbo was surprisingly exceptional. Of course, Holley's is a bit pricey but the Average Joe, such as myself, should consider this spot for special occasions.
