waitress very attentive and courteous.
friendly, good service, excellent food, nice portions.
The food is always delicious! The waitress was nice and attentive. My suggestion would be if they can paint the wall behind the register. We invited friends that had never been and the ripped wall and missing paint was an eyesore when we all walked in.
Outstanding service by waitstaff and the food is always excellent. Great menu. We always look for reasons to return to this restaurant!!
pizza, pasta and artichoke misto is the only way to go!!
Food was exceptional and wait staff was excellent.

Total experience was very good. Our server Mikelle was very attentive and worked very hard to make our experience enjoyable. One issue that could have been improved upon was main meal came out too early before we were finished with our appetizer and soup and salad. Otherwise, everything was very nice.

The new staff was attentive without being intrusive. Food is good, though some new items on the menu would be nice.

We were especially pleased with the service that Eric provided. He was very attentive and treated us very well.

Server was friendly, pleasant and attentive but not overbearing. Food was excellent and atmosphere enjoyable. Prices are reasonable.
All of our menu items were delicious and our server was very attentive to our needs. Our waiter, ERIC, was excellent.
Chicken and steak were tender and perfectly cooked
Excellent food and service!!! I have never been disappointed there! The waiter Eric was especially courteous, thoughtful and thorough!
Great service, great food.
The service was excellent. Liked the restaurant and would go back.
Generally good experience with varied menu and reasonable prices. Service seemed a bit off and more training is needed. Glad to see they got rid of valet parking. Almost nobody likes it.
Excellent waiter, very good food quality for a very good price.
The food was salty but the staff was great!
Excellent entrees. Nice presentation. Friendly service. Great atmosphere for conversation. Highly recommended.
Our waiter Eric provided excellent service and provided reason to return!
3 days after Horrible Harvey hurricane, we sooo glad to see Chatters open. We received great service from Jalyssa and food exceeded expectations...we had Beef/Chicken kabobs with extra side of favorite...corn pudding; pasta Genovese and Salmon with mixed veggies. Every thing was delicious!
Excellent service and food. Very accommodating to special requests.
I LOVE Chatters! Today's experience didn't disappoint. Eric gave us great service and the food was excellent as always.
Good food good service and priced right
House wine was very good. Food was excellent. They went out of way to create a special salad for me even though they didn't have a Caesar Salad
The food is always reliably good. The selection interesting and they keep the music volume very reasonable to allow for conversation.
Brunch menu is great and omelettes are delicious, but the Frittata was dry.
We had a birthday party of 19. The restaurant staff was attentive and prompt. Excellent service.
Server was nice but got a few things wrong. Didn't listen or Remember requests. Food was ok. Beans soup was not soup but were cooked black beans.
We were there Sat. Evening 4/29. Must have had new or inexperienced cooks. Could not get my wife's pasta dish correct...and my breaded pork chops were way overdone...almost burned!
great service, very friendly and helpful with my son...
Excellent food, nice atmosphere (not too loud) and good service.
Service was outstanding. Food is fresh and a great value!
So I was here for my birthday dinner last Sunday, bad service, cold food and long waits...I want to thank everyone who put up with this and more for little old me and my birthday. We came at a dead time for the restaurant, had a change of three different servers for less than 10 people, my friend Isaac Eubanks Jr. had to wait 30min for a glass of tap water AFTER I had to go and remind someone to prebus our table. Had to ask them to refrigerate my two cakes I brought (after making a birthday reservation 2 days prior), had orders come out incorrectly, my friend Meshon Bonner was argued with in front of me about the check after she had to prebus our table herself, and then had them deliver the check to me (the birthday boy). Thankfully my guests made this HORRIBLE experience as enjoyable as possible.
Very good service!! The food is good too.
Excellent menu, food was delicious
Great service and excellent food quality
Excellent service, delicious food with a broad selection, comfortable atmosphere
Waitress and management were great
Bring those short ribs back
Our server was the best. He really took care of us and was fun to be around.
Ahi tuna!!
Food is good
This place has a little bit of everything and everything I have tried is excellent. The prices are very reasonable. 2 people can eat an appetizer, entrees, and have one alcoholic drink each for about $50, which is the minimum amount you have to spend to use the $25 certificate. My wife and I have been back 5 or 6 times now.
The waiter was great. However the dishes were dirty he had to replace plates for appitizers and several silverware. One persons food had to be sent back not prepared as ordered.

Its only our second time to go to Chatters, but I LOVE this restaurant. It feels like home. The food is fabulous. And the waitstaff are so attentive and friendly. We needed to be finished in time for the Symphony, and our waiter went the extra mile for us. We'll be back.
Wonderful service and delicious food!
The waiter messed up one order but he offered to comp which we declined. The service was good and the portions were hearty. Taste and presentation were both good
The manager and waitress were very attentive and helpful. They checked several times to see if we needed anything.
Waitstaff very attentive, very friendly, food was presented very well and was very tasty,
We visited the restaurant on quiet evening, with only three other tables in use. This made the dining experience quiter and more enjoyable.
We had a new waitress that really did not know the menu, the wine, actually she didn't really know anything. I felt that she should have been following someone to learn the process first before letting her take orders.
Ahimsa tuna, pizza, wine
Selection of wines allowed us to purchase a wine at excellent price and still have very good bottle. We were both very happy with our entrée.
Food was great. Service was very slow. It seemed the server continued to forget us. She was pleasant when she served us.
Went on Wed about 7:45PM. No Fish of the day other than probably FARM raised tilapia. One of my favorite dishes, Pork Chops, were a bit off tonight...they were thinner than usual and quite dry, in spite of the tasty Peach Chutney. Hummus appetizer was tooo runny. Otherwise, okay, this time.
Very good meal. My steak was nice - wife had the Chatters Special, it was very good and we had plenty to doggy-bag home. Carrot cake dessert was pretty good, too.
This restaurant has a great menu and variety of offerings. This was my first time for brunch and it was a great experience. The food and service are always good at Chatters
I'm afraid we were disappointed with the service. Some of it was attributable to the staffing (the waitress said she was overloaded), and some with the waitress--who just was off. When she brought some pita (two halves in a basket), I told her we needed more. She acknowledged this and then dropped the ball. She didn't notice empty glasses needing refills. It took almost 1/2 an hour from our arrival before she was able to take our order (lucky the theater is around the corner and we had an hour and a half to eat). She did stop by to acknowledge we were waiting and say she needed to run a credit card for another table; still . . .The food was--for the most part-- very good. The French omelette, excellent. The chicken salad and Cobb salad, also very good. My Thai salad was wanting--no herbs (as we expect from eating in Thai restaurants), fairly bland dressing, and smallish shrimp.We rate the quality as between good and excellent, but you have no such choice--so below shows "good."We eat out 5 or more times per week.
My dinner was, at best, mediocre.
Service was great. Food, excellent. Lovely day so we dined al fresco. Salads, sandwiches, soups--every one a winner.
waitress was rude and snappy. she apologized but too little too late. Food took extremely long and order was not correct. Manager offered to correct it and bring correct item to table but left it sitting at the kitchen window and I got it on the way out. everything was slow
Wait time for a waitress was too long.
Service was quick, courteous and informed. Food was excellent!
The food is always excellent, as is the service. We were there with family - two children aged 2 and 7. The kids menu is great! Everyone found a favorite from the dinner menu. A great time.
Wait time for food was really long and all of my food was not delivered..
Great service, excellent food, amazing prices

Great experience, great tasting food at a reasonable price.
The food is always excellent. The service is, too. We have been dining here since they opened and have never been disappointed whether it be a dinner for two or twenty.
The specials are always delicious!
"Select an Amount" is not working. $43 spent.
Great entrees, great atmosphere, friendly staff
Food was great! Service Good
French fires were cold. Other side dishes were not served warm
The food was terrific, and our waitress was friendly and knew the menu.
It took forever to get waited on
Great food and excellent value.
quiet with good décor nice size servings
The food took a very long time to come out and when it did it was cold.
Mediterranean food was great, but waiter was new. He wasn't very familiar with the menu or specific entrée details.
Food was great. Nice atmosphere. Very attentive staff.
Great food in teems of variety and flavor. Nicely presented. Good portions. Quiet atmosphere so you can visit with your guests.
Chatters has great food, great service, a really nice atmosphere and in door and outdoor dining. We have NEVER had a bad experience here.
Every single dish was perfect. Outstanding service.
The food was excellent!
Consistently good food and great sevice
It was nearly 25 mins. after we ordered that the food was served; we were on the verge of cancelling the order. The food, however, was excellent, and our dissatisfaction disppeared.
THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT.
Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great food and huge portions. Would definitely recommend.
Great service, great food. This is our go-to restaurant and we live within walking distance of 10 or 12 eating establishments.
Steak was over cooked.Calamari is pre packaged.
Food was good, service fine, it wasn't too loud so we could have a good conversation
The food was very well prepared, although it took a while. We told our server when we ordered we were on a tight schedule as we had theater tickets.
nice and quiet, good food and service will return
We have eaten here on numerous occasions. The restaurant is located very close to Stages, our favorite theatre. The service is always wonderful and the food is great! I would recommend this Bistro to everyone.
Very pleasant wait staff, large portions, good service.
I liked our waiter very much.
Leslie and Alfondo were terrific servers, food was great.
The waitstaff was very attentive but not overbearing. Food was good and reasonably priced.
food was great, nice atmosphere on the patio, attentive service...maybe a tad slow, but we weren't in a hurry.
Great food, service was a bit slow, but we weren't in a hurry. We'd definitely go back.
Food was very tasty. Service was great
Greeting immediately upon walking in the door!Waitress was super nice and attentive! She explained several things on the menu and was very knowledgeable about specific dishes (e.g., we asked if the dressing was spicy, she said it was not). At the end of the meal, she even asked if he thought it was spicy. Nice follow up!Everything was fresh tasting and I would definitely come back in the future!
I usually go for lunch, but dinner this visit was quiter and less folks. Good service, fast turn around after order.
We had the Tiamo Pinot Grigio...seemed a bit flat. Hummus could stand to be a little thicker. Otherwise, very much enjoyed the rest of the food!
Ruben was a great waiter with great backup staff. We were not rushed and everything was served hot and timely. Samples of wine were offered to help decide what to order.
Service was poor and it wqas very cold in the dining room.
The waiters were helping each other out, so we got great service at all times.
Good healthy, fresh food!
It was pretty crowded and LOUD but the food was great, as always, and our waiter Travis was great!!!
We all LOVED everything and will be back soon. The service was great, noise level was good, it was very clean, and we have only good to say about it.
We love Chatters. It's very close to Stages Theatre and the service is always quick and the kitchen is fast. The food is top notch. Our wait staff have always been spot on. This is a great place.
Food was great, service was excellent. Only drawback was we had to valet park as no street parking available.
The food was really good and the Key Lime Pie is the best I have had in Houston. The Best of all was in Key West.
Overall experience was excellent. Only suggestion might be to have waiter come out and check with us to see if we needed drinks refilled after we had all ready paid the bill. We still sat and talked for about 15 minutes, and would have appreciated a refill on one of the iced teas.
Good attentive service and food quality. Great job and good attitude about providing for separate checks!
The Tilapia was cooked perfectly! Perfect light golden in color and perfectly seasoned. Restaurant is reasonably priced!
Waitress was excellent!Food was delicious.
Screaming babies and loud young children ruined the evening until they left
Very good prices and tasty food. The "tea and water" staff person came around several times during the time spent at the table. Clean and well lit with natural sun (lunch). Staff was very polite. In fact, for some unknow reason, the waiter thought his service was slow so he provided a free appitizer. It was not slow service at all. The group was enjoying a leisure lunch.
Good atmosphere, good food and good service made for a very pleasant evening.
We arrived at the restaurant about 10 minutes prior to it opening (about 9:50 on a Sunday morning) and expected to have to wait outside until it opened. Instead, we were told we could go inside. Once inside, I figured the staff would give us weird looks as we were intruding on their time. Instead, again, they were very pleasant in welcoming us and showing us to our seats. We were waiting for 2 more in our party of 6 and they let us be leisurely in ordering. Very friendly and accommodating.
We had to go inside and find our waitress to get the check. She was yakking at the bar with three other waitresses. The spaghetti with meatballs was the worst I've ever eaten. The burger was OK.
Great food, great service - an overall excellent experience from the time you walk in the door.
The staff always makes me feel so welcome. I am proud to bring friends from out of town here. The staff makes a great impression. They make Houston look like a warm an friendly city.
Good food and quiet ambiance equals our favorite type of restaurant experience.
Server was too busy and the restaurant was empty. Veggies in pasta were raw.
I am a salesman that eats out 20 plus times a week and this is the best place in town for the money guaranteed!
Great food and service at a great price. The server was very attentive.
Service was terrible until Chuck stepped in. Once Chuck got involved, service was great. Food is always fantastic.
Had excellent service from our waiter, Ruben Caballero!
food is a very good value. Prices are reasonable. we needed four of us to spend $50 including dessert.
I live nearby and enjoy this cafe and bistro very much. Thank you.
Server was wonderful and I love that this restaurant is kid-friendly!
good food, good service
We would have never walked in this restaurant if we didn't have a certificate - we are so glad that we did! The food was delicious, the menu was well rounded and the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. We had a wonderful dining experience. Would definitely recommend this place to friends.
Great food, nice people. Understaffed for 6pm to 7pm reservations.
Server was awesome. Thank you so much!!
First time to try out their weekend brunch. The rose cava mimosas were excellent. They took excellent care of us considering it was Christmas Eve and they were approaching closing time. Glad we went!
Our waiter was amazing with our kiddos! Love the attention and sense of humor - we will be back
great food at great prices with friendly service.
We were extremely pleased with the entrees - prices, generous portions, and Delicious. We each had something different - pizza, chicken, Thai shrimp salad and I had the tilapia. It was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection with a light crust - served over pasta mixed with spinach... YUM!!! We shared a warm basket of pita - mmmmm.Our waiter was fun and honest. Quite refreshing.Afterward we went to the Grove, the club behind the restaurant. Very nice place to hang with friends.
The server, "Gypsy Lady", was very pleasant and had an eye for detail, thanks!
We can always count on Chatters for great food and a comfortable friendly atmosphere.
Driving by.
Service was excellent! Paid up charge for salad which was agreed upon, but extremely small portion. Food required more sauce on both entrees, but tasted great once sauce was applied and cannot say enough for the great service.
Our server, Armondo I believe, was awesome! We will be back for sure. The food was great coupled with fantastic service! It's a hard combo to find.
Everything was good. Looks like you have a good happy hour. We will come again.
The food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. My two friends who came to dinner with us had never been to Chatters before and they were very pleased. We will all come back again.
We live in a neighborhood with a number of excellent restaurants within walking distance. Chatters is our favorite by far.
We just recently discovered Chatters and really enjoy it. They have fantastic food & service. We will definitely go there more often.
An improved wine selection would increase my visits here.
The veggie sanwich was the worst! we always love the food there and enjoy going. Two of our vegitarian friends order this and just hated it. Please look into making it better or offering a better option. other than that we just loving going there so much, they are super nice and its always great!
Service was a bit slow and it was VERY LOUD even in the back corner of the back room.
My wife and I had a wonderful meal. The service was excellent. Thank you for the use of a coupon to save on our meal. It enabled us to try a few things we might not have tried without the incentive.
that was my first time visiting Chatter's - I have ordered delivery in the past. It was a wonderful experience and I will be going back!
Mediterranean Quesadillas were EXTREMELY salty.
I'm happy to discover that this great restaurant is in the neighborhood! Great service, good food... I'll be back to sample more of the menu.
My only complaint was that they put some kind of generic ketchup in a Heinz bottle. I know my Heinz and that wasn't it. Just serve the cheap stuff in it's own container.
great dining experience
Live by it, love it, great value with tasty food and nice service.
You all have the best food in the city! Seriously. Never dissapoints. I buy the coupons on restaurant.com so we can eat there more often and order more food than we would normally to try new things. It is all so amazing. Your buffalo wings....seriously better than any wing place I know. And the sweet potato fries are beyond perfection! Keep it up!
Great service by waiter! Although the mojito that we ordered was not up to par.
Celebrated my mother's birthday. The service was great. She is 84 years old and really enjoyed the lunch.
We told our server that we were on a 1 hour lunch, and she worked with us in getting in and out quickly. My 2 guests were first time visitors and they said they would definitely come back for the great food and atmosphere. I wish I remembered my server's name, because she deserves recongition. Thanks for a wonderful lunch.
Service was attentive but it too an incredibly long time to be served the entrees. We were going to the the theater after dinner and were getting anxious about finishing our meal in a timely manner. However, we think it was due to some large to go order being prepared from what we could tell.
