My hubby and I had a very nice date night at Navy Blue. The restaurant was very chic with dim lighting and our server was fairly attentive although it was busy for the weekend. For drinks I had the Pear Pressure, a wonderful yet sweet bubbly beverage. My hubby had their Amoxicillin mocktail which was very well made. Be sure to order the Caesar salad, we loved the large homemade croutons that were soft but crispy. Their homemade biscuits were very buttery and luxurious. The caramelle pasta with crab was a delight, although I would've liked a larger portion. Same for the crabcake, it was delicious but would've liked a larger portion. Long story short was that the flavor was there for a Bludorn establishment, but the portions could've been larger. Free valet available.

I went to Navy Blue for dinner in December with a few friends. The restaurant is in Rice Village. There was an okay amount of street parking available, and they have valet. I street parked. The restaurant is large and airy, with a lot of booths. The service was fine, our server seemed a little new but he was nice. I tried the following dishes: Clam Fritters (sweet potato, dill aioli) (3.5/5): I thought these were okay, but that is probably because I'm not the biggest fan of sweet potato. They were a good amount of food and well made, but on the richer / fattier side. Smoked Mahi Mahi Dip (pineapple chow-chow, potato chips) (5/5): I added the trout roe. This dip was great. The potato chips went really well with the dip. It was well-seasoned, creamy, and not too salty. THe roe added a nice salty kick. Squid Ink Linguine (rock shrimp, tomato, rosemary) (5/5): I took out the prosciutto. This was great -- also very rich and buttery. The pasta was cooked nicely, the shrimp was tender, and the tomatoes were full of flavor. I liked this dish a lot. I also got a dirty gin martini, which was unfortunately bad. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Navy Blue. I would definitely come back!

My husband and I have been dining at Navy Blue for the past 3-4 years, whenever we are in Houston. Our first visit we met Andrew Jacoby who ended up being our waiter. We love him, his professionalism and ability to connect with us was amazing. Now, when we visit Navy Blue, Andrew remembers us every time and makes a personal connection. You have a true dedicated employee who values the customer and does everything in his power to make our dining at Navy Blue a true pleasure. The offering on the menu is inventive and executed perfectly. Thank you for making our meal an enjoyable and relaxing event.

Cozy, upscale restaurant but not snobby - the food is delicious and focuses on technique just as much as quality of ingredients and flavor. Perfect for a nicer date or to take your friend who's visiting Houston. The cocktails are unique and delicious. The complimentary biscuits the meal starts with was enough to make me love this place so definitely make sure you try them. They are so fluffy and delicious. Pasta was freshly made and the brown-butter sage combo was so good right as the weather was starting to get cold. Clam fritters were yummy, I'm sucker for fritters in general but these were light but still full of flavor and perfectly accompanied with dill aioli and lemon. Snapper was nice, I will say ours felt a little overcooked but I still loved it. GET TO THE DESSERT!! The ice cream is so so good. Some of the best I've had personally. So smooth, perfectly sweet and rich. I wish I could go just for the biscuits and ice cream lol. Additionally, I love the bludorn hot sauce... that is neither here nor there....

What can I say other than wow! I came for a work holiday dinner, and I knew it was going to be amazing because of all the reviews and the restaurants that Navy Blue is tied to. From the moment we pulled up to valet, to entering the restaurant, the experience started off great! The restaurant is just beautiful, nicely lit, and highlight by the bar with as a great backdrop. We were taken to a private dining area that had the same ambiance as well and were greeted with champagne, yes please!! I dont recall our servers name, however, he was the most attentive. As our party arrived, he was quick to greet them with champagne as well, while also passing canapés for us! After being seated we had a preset menu, I went with the crab cake for first course, red snapper for second and key lime pie for third. For appetizers we also got to try all of the oyster which were raw, Rockefeller and fried, and ALL of them were amazing!! The Caesar salad as well is your traditional style and was nice crisp and delicious. The crab cake was delicious, nice size, really great portion size and packed packed packed with crab. The red snapper was definitely a star dish! The mash was a bit spicy, which was unexpected, but a nice surprise. I also got to try the tortellini, which came with a nice cream sauce. And would be great with some blackened shrimp or chicken, not sure if that's an option on the regular menu. The key lime pie is everything I could've imagined it be. With the ice cream and the toasted meringue, was a nice way to end the meal with a citrus light deliciousness! I can't wait to come back here and try some other items!

The food was good but not great. We enjoyed the branzino dish, but it could have used some more complexity. The biscuits were a bit bland, and the carrot cake was a bit too salty. The chilled shrimp was the best dish, and I liked the kick in the sauce. I enjoyed the ambience, which was modern and upscale but not overstated. Service was very attentive.

I came here for Houston Restaurant Week, and was not disappointed at all! I had heard good things about this restaurant already, beforehand. I will say that this place is pricey, but the quality of the food and service are incredible. This place has one of the best services that I've ever experienced. Coming inside, the place looks very high-end. I wouldn't dress too casual coming in here, or I'd feel like I stick out. The caesar salad is a must get from here! It was actually one of the favorites at our table lol. The croutons are the best croutons that you'll ever have. They are so buttery, with the perfect amount of crispiness on the outside, but also soft on the inside. I got the tagliatelle, and it was really delicious and filling. For dessert, the chocolate coulant was SO good. There was a bit of a wait for dessert because everyone in the restaurant ordered at around the same time. However, our servers brought us complimentary wine as an apology for the wait. It was so sweet! I will be back to try other dishes.

Navy Blue was a total Houston Restaurant Week Find. I've probably passed this place ten different times and just never noticed it. Parking is abundant- it is located in Rice Village so ample parking paid or unpaid. They also offer a valet service. The restaurant is beautiful. It's clean. It's modern. It's upscale. You can celebrate an anniversary, graduation, or just come here to have a really nice experience. Fast and attentive service- I never saw my glass go empty. Of the three courses, I had the Caesar Salad, The Branzino, and then the Chocolate Coulant. I enjoyed everything. The Branzino's highlights was the really well pan-fried skin. The star of the show was the Chocolate Coulant, though. The scotch ice-cream, the perfect cooked chocolate lava cake situation... if nothing else, I'll come back for dessert. The thing about this place is it's nice. Would I remember this place next to some similar-priced rivals? Probably not. For restaurant week this was worth it, but I can't say I'd go out of my way to come again for the food (but perhaps for the dessert! ha)
