Peska Seafood Prime Steaks - Houston

It was wonderful experience the best seafood place I've been trying with a great atmosphere and amazing atmosphere I will come back for dinner for sure

Tried this place for Houston Restaurants week menu. I will say that I tried to look this place up online first and found Peska Cocina Latina on yelp. In addition, there were printed reviews inside the restaurant for Peska Seafood Culture. Not sure why so many name changes? Food was okay. Was there primarily to try out the seafood. Large portions for fried fish for the little ones, but the cilantro rice was a bit buttery. I tried the grouper it was pretty decent. I thought the hanger steak was good but my companion thought it was meh. Overall, a good try for HRW but felt like there 's other seafood restaurants available during HRW with better tasting options for similar price points.

It was good, but not the greatest. The pasta de camarones was a bit too oily and the short rib was a little fattier than what I'd prefer. The doughnuts were great, but the carrot cake was dry. Good service ambience. Wish they had a brunch option for Saturday.

Maybe it is because it was a Monday.... Everything seemed a little bit off. The food was not at the high level we have had before. Watermelon Salad tasted like they had made it a few days ago. Service was a bit slow and unengaged. I can't even say it was because they were busy. They really weren't. It was not terrible but not what you have come to expect from this high caliber place.

I had to remind the server that he had skipped our first course. There were 4 separate couples seated on 4 separate tables in about 8 feet of space making any type of real conversation impossible. All 4 couples ordered one of the Houston Restaurant Week specials. 3 couples complained that the food was very spicy. The portions for entrees of the Grouper, Redfish, and Hanger Steak was a 2 to 3 ounce portion. Extremely small and the grouper just tasted blah. The only smart one ordered the whole fish. Guess they could not find a way to cut it in quarters. Yes I know all of this because we were all crammed into that small a space. And no we did not know each other. The spacing would not allow the servers to even walk between the tables; they had to reach over to serve the food. Left the restaurant and went and ordered a pasta salad from a local place down the road to get full. It is silly and bad business to reduce the portions to such small portions. If they cannot delivery a respectable meal for the budgeted price then stop . Just do not plan to participate in the promotion. But wait then they would lose all of the publicity . So, I cannot and will not recommend this restaurant .
