About this restaurant

Romantic
Innovative
Good for special occasions

Brasserie 1895 "Old World Inspired, Wood Fired Cuisine" is a Chef Driven Concept led by Chef Kris Jakob, formerly of Kris Bistro (a Houston Chronicle Top 100 restaurant) and his business partner Sky Lyn Gibbons. The menu is reflective of Jakob's experiences and training as a cook in Europe - posing a strong French/Belgian influence mixed with American Southern selections & hints of Asian inspiration. We source our only the best products from our local farmers, ranchers, and Galveston Gulf/American Coast independent fishermen; therefore, availability of product dictates our menu - as products go through seasons, so do our selections. In true Brasserie form, we offer a selection of 12 American craft beers on tap, and small label craft beers from Belgium, England, & Germany in bottles. The wine program offers wines by palate profiles broken down into categories to complement our menu. Join us at the bar, on the patio, or in our wine lounge to chat it up with friends and family.

We had a new waitress who didn’t know the menu or how to keep service running smooth. However, she will learn and otherwise the food was amazing as always. The chef really keeps the menu fresh.

Food is amazing. Unique and well done. “Front end” of restaurant is lacking. Took a while to be greeted after being seated, slow on drinks, though when they came the drinks were very good. (Socialite, old-fashioned). Couldn’t hear server describing featured items—combination of too loud environment and server not speaking loud and confidently enough. Don’t save yourself for dessert. The two we ordered were not good. Cream brûlée over cooked, nearly curdled, and Speculoos dessert not as described and not good in taste or consistency. I look forward to returning to try other main dishes.

My husband and I have been to Brasserie several times and always love it. This weekend, we brought some friends (who are Belgian & French). They agreed that the atmosphere was great and so was the food. They even got a chance to speak to the Belgian mast chef who oversees the kitchen at Brasserie! The food was excellent, as were our cocktails. We had some challenges with service...it almost felt like the server forgot us and we had to flag others down to place our entree order. This was unusual for Brasserie, though, so I think it was just an off night.

We were looking for a restaurant outside of the Boil Water Notice zone on February 29. We live in Cypress area but had heard about this place and decided why the heck not. We WILL willingly make the hour plus one way drive again to return.

We scheduled a reservation and when we showed up we were seated in the corner. After ten minutes we finally met our waitress who we noticed was also the bartender. She took our drink order and came back with our drinks twenty mins later. During this time we spoke with the table next to us and behind us. They said they were very upset with the service and had not even ordered yet. We then ordered our food and after an hour we recieved it. The only problem was we recieved the wrong food. Another waiter brought us the food and when we informed him that it was not what we order you could tell he was frustrated by his night as well. He said he couldn't take the food back but offered to get me my food within five mins. So after an hour and thirty mins we finally got our food. The poor table next to us still had not received their check and joked about just walking out. I was honestly looking at the reviews for this restuarant to see if we had made a mistake in coming. The waitress finally came and said she would do me the favor of comping my meal for the night. She then explained that the resturant was short staffed in the kitchen and servers. While we understood this, we had made a reservation. If the restaurant was not staffed for the night they either could have called to cancel my reservation or they could have told walk in customers that they were booked for the evening instead of having us wait an hour and a half for the wrong food.

Amazing food and service. We've been quite a few times. It was crowded the night after Valentine's Day. We arrived earlier than our reservation and we're seated just after our reservation time. The hostess comped our first round of drinks for the minor inconvenience. The attentive server and great food were definitely worth the price. I believe some people get sticker shock because they've never been to any place finer than fast food. Awesome all around.
