Ouisie's Table, a beloved River Oaks gem, blends Southern elegance with comfort, serving up crave-worthy classics in a charming garden setting.
"Everyone at Ouisie’s Table seems like they’ve known the owner for years. While it’s on the nicer side, no one is afraid to put the occasional elbow on the table and laugh a little too loud. Ouisie’s menu is no stranger to crustaceans, you can get scallops or seafood crepes filled with shredded crab meat and briny shrimp. There’s also a sprawling patio where folks go to eat chicken fried steaks outdoors and occasionally rent out for wedding rehearsal dinners. And if you’re lucky, weird, delightful stuff might happen, like the waiter placing the stone dog statue (a tribute to Ouisie’s dog) at your table to be the guest of honor." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"This iconic River Oaks restaurant is synonymous with special occasions, and Christmas Eve dinner is no different. Ouisie’s Table will be open Christmas Eve from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., but the real celebration starts at 5 p.m., with a Christmas Eve a la carte feast. Think crispy crab cakes, lamb with mint and green apple sauce, and an almond raspberry Swiss roll." - Lane Gillespie

"This River Oaks restaurant is willing to take over the Thanksgiving Day cooking, with a lengthy to-go Thanksgiving Day menu, that features pepper-crusted prime rib, bourbon-brined turkeys, a range of sides, warm biscuits, and plenty of desserts to choose from, whether apple strudel or tres leches is more your thing. All orders must be placed by Friday, November 21, for pickup on Wednesday, November, 23." - Brittany Britto Garley
