Fashion LadderJune 23, 2013This place is great. Outdoor area is nice but it fills up quick so make a reservation or get there before the crowd! Go for something different and try a specialty pizza, the duck was fantastic!
Local Houston MagazineMarch 4, 2013We went to eat late & were seated instantly. Highly recommend the build-it-yourself pizza Bianca. It's served with a bowl that has a mound of creamy burrata atop burst tomato drizzled with olive oil. Read more
Matt DickerSeptember 8, 2017You can't go wrong starting your meal with the Ham of the Day. Everything I had was great, but he pork belly was the standout, even if you're tired of seeing pork belly on every menu. Great meal.
Jeffrey ChambersJune 14, 2018Everything is excellent. You get the opportunity to eat with a Chef trained in the most famous restaurant in England, the Fat Duck. Both Chefs are amazing. The service is just as grand!
Melania SpagnoliJuly 18, 2015The Meatball sub is outstanding! We tried also the orange/curry strozzapreti. The flavour was good, but it was more a soup rather than a pasta and there were definitely too manu raisins
- EaterApril 18, 2013Provisions serves creative twists on classic pizza and pastas; dinner at The Pass is more like attending a theatrical performance than eating a meal with each dish a scene.
Talya ArbisserMarch 18, 2014Went here with bf for celebration dinner. Sat at the chef's table/counter. Great experience with Terrence - a co-owner. Fantastic food and cocktail especially the short ribs tortellini. We'll be back!
Houston PressAugust 12, 2014Provisions is the casual half of The Pass & Provisions, serving lunch and dinner six days a week in a Midtown/Montrose setting that's equally accommodating of jeans and cocktail dresses. Read more
Kara ThompsonJuly 13, 2014Just spent my anniversary dinner here and it was amazing! Mocktails were great, and got 4 courses that were all fantastic. Every worker is super nice and the design of the place is amazing.
Maggie ReichJuly 17, 2013The pass is the most amazing indulgent dinner you can find in Houston. Even though there is a preset menu the chef is totally understanding of preferences and dietary needs. Can't wait to go back!- EaterMarch 26, 2013As in the kitchen, the bar at Provisions features talented people turned loose to create. It's become so popular that it recently extended its hours to 2:00 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
Colin DismukeAugust 8, 2014Try a little bit of each category on the menu—it's all delicious. Roasted shishito peppers, ricotta gnundi, scamorza pizza…all amazing.
James SFebruary 3, 2013Always new drink concoctions.. This vieux care is cognac, rye, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, bitters.. Strong, bitter, and sweet--- just he way I like it.
Liz TaylorDecember 11, 2013The Wiley Post and bone marrow would have been enough. But the kimchi Brussels sprouts, gnocchi and cider donut took it over the top. Sit at the bar if you can, and watch the magic happen.
Heydel CeperoAugust 30, 2014Food is awesome. Service is very good as well. Atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. One of the best restaurants I've ever been.
travel4foodNovember 2, 2014Try the tasting at The Pass if time and pocket book allow. Such fun, innovative and soulful food. Totally worth the splurge.
daveDecember 6, 2014At provision, try to reserve a table by a wall, corner or at end of a row so it'll be quieter. Trust me.
The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014The Cresta de Gallo pasta with hen of the woods mushrooms and Parmesan foam is a witty (and delicious) vegetarian riff on everything chicken. Read more- Houston PressAugust 4, 2014The Pass has garnered rave reviews from media outlets across the country since it opened in in River Oaks in November of 2012, and rightfully so. Read more
Try the ham of the day, coffee casserrecci pasta dish, all desserts at Provisions. Great bar too. The Pass is like no other dining experience--top notch.
Amanda MendozaAugust 25, 2013Try the Wiley Post cocktail; it was refreshing and complex. The Pretzel Epi was amazing! Our server, Ben, was super knowledgeable & made the experience very satisfying!- Houston ChronicleAugust 3, 2014Don't miss: Cresta di Gallo pasta with Hen of the Woods mushrooms; Burrata & Burst Tomato Pizza Bianca; soft-serve dessert du jour. Read more
Davi BryanMarch 10, 2013We ate at The Pass. Amazing. One of neatest dining experiences I've had in a while. Excellent service and creative, tasty food.
Please take note that most of the menu items are temporary and will change to something else over time. Also there is complimentary valet put in place to prevent against ticketing and towing.- The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014The Pass is a tasting-menu-only dinner spot, while its more casual sibling, Provisions, offers lunch, dinner and cocktails. Read more
- Houston ChronicleAugust 3, 2014Inside track: Unsure if you want to invest $95, plus wine pairings, for the full-blown eight-course tasting? Get your feet wet with the five-course version for $75. Read more
Marc SMarch 21, 2015From the Provisions menu, the glazed pork belly and mushroom pizza are highly recommended.
Peanut butter soft serve is out of this world! A must try.
Lockhart SteeleApril 22, 2013The Pass is a real-deal, blow-mind tasting menu experience. Go whole hog and get the eight courses; no point holding back now.
Joëlle EidNovember 15, 2012Everything is absolutely amazing. EVERYTHING. Cheese plate, pizzas, wines, pasta, meats, dessert.... (we had everything?)
Christine HaApril 5, 2016The Pass is high-end tasting menu. Provisions is eclectic new American--both creative. Dishes can be hit or miss but mostly hits.- Houston ChronicleAugust 3, 2014Don't miss: A glass of celebratory bubbles from the rolling champagne cart, presided over by expert sommelier Travis Hinkle. Read more
Mushroom pizza is fantastic! Nomnomnom ;))) and bloody mary is for experienced drinker only, too spicy ;)
Everything is amazing on the menu, but you must try the beet cake! You won't be disappointed.
Scott RocherJanuary 30, 2016Don't forget to visit the bathroom. You'll hear audio from Julia Child piped in to the communal sinks.
- Shrimp salad with celery apple remoulade and sesame. Perfect lunch snack.
Nice eclectic industrial contemporary decor. Great specialty cocktails and gourmet ingredient pizzas!
Steve MuellerNovember 16, 2013Try the duck leg schnitzel for brunch, with foie gras grits. Need you hear more?
Tsilav BoueDecember 31, 2013If your going to try a pasta dish, get the Cresta di Gallo. The parmesan froth is to die for.
Brian BayNovember 9, 2013Absolutely fantastic. Great service, superb food and drinks, and reasonably priced.
Jackie LuoFebruary 1, 2015I enjoyed Provisions on my first time, but its problems became apparent on the second. The dishes were often expensive but rarely good, and I probably won't return.
8-course tasting menu is INTENSE. So much food, but worth it if you have the stamina.
Ashley MApril 20, 2013Definitely a new favorite restaurant! Great food, service, and drinks. A trifecta!
