Indigo

What a wonderful tasting menu!! I had the "pescatarian" menu. Each dish was so composed, tasteful, and tasty! U-shaped communal table that seats 13. Note: it is BYOB, something not made readily apparent in their website.

A very unique dining experience that cuts to the point with a few pleasant surprises. African american indigenous food. Good for both vegetarian and non vegetarians alike.

Unique environment and great food. The small seating arrangement creates an intimate atmosphere. I highly recommend the pescatarian menu with the herbivore dessert. The green tomato cake with the cornflake ice cream exquisite.

My favorite meals were the crab with crispy shallots and the crayfish goulash. With that being said everything was extraordinary.

The dishes were exquisite, flavorful delicacies. The infusion of the flowers added beauty and an unexpected but tasty profile.

Chef Johnny was welcoming and descriptive about the meals he created. I would like to suggest a microphone when discussing the meals and/or turning down the music.

Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend this establishment and I look forward to attending again to see what Chef Johnny creates next.

To those who complain about the price probably have not been to many fine dining places to experience the ambiance, creativity, and unique dishes. They do not stuff you with heaping mounds of food, but want you to enjoy the flavors and meal choices.

To bifurcate the evening into traditional categories such as "food", "service", "value", "atmosphere", etc is to completely miss out on the cumulative impact of the unique experience. The price feels VERY reasonable, especially considering that the restaurant is only configured to serve a couple of dozen people per night.

If you believe wallethub's assessment of Houston as the most diverse city in the US, then an evening at Indigo is a microcosm of that diversity. The seating arrangement allows for socializing amongst patrons while still providing enough individual privacy to allow for quiet one-on-one conversations. Chef Johnny's commentary on the inspiration and origins of the dishes added a personal touch to the dining experience. Every dish was unique and purposeful in its composition. The high counter seating kept us eye-to-eye with the staff and chef, making conversation and communication much more easy and natural. According to the staff, the menu changes roughly once a quarter, with a vegan flight being a year round option. If you have not tried it before, highly recommend the naturally decaffeinated okra bean coffee with dessert.

The only room for improvement would be in the chef's presentation. Most of us would be more than happy to pause our dinner conversations for 15-20 seconds longer to have Johnny speak a little bit slower so we do not miss any of his presentation. Lowering the music volume or utilizing a wireless microphone would be even better - hearing the chef's insights and the story behind the food is one of the elements that elevates this from being just any night on the town, instead putting us all into an episode of "Chef's Table".

Highly recommended experience!

A great experience all around. Food was amazing. Service was perfect. It is worth every penny. Treat yourself!!!
