Christopher Sherman: My favorite seafood restaurant in Houston... The crab cake is delicious but my favorite is the lobster of course...
Tamika Caston-Miller: Happy hour is EXCELLENT! The drinks are normally $12ish and are half off during happy hour. The bar has anything you could want and the happy hour eats are delicious! Great crab cake and calamari!
Victoria Craig: Of course the crab here is great, but we also really enjoyed the lobster bisque, the filet mignon, and the interesting take on baked Alaska. Service was spot on! The decor was dated and uninteresting.
Jeri Neely: Great restaurant and atmosphere. Very attentive staff and food is great. King crab, Dungeness and Mac and cheese awesome.
Christy Landes: Excellent service in a gorgeous room. Crab queso is great! Aside from obvious oysters, the crab and shrimp blt salad and po'boys are great options.
Wil Jeudy: I never enjoyed oysters, until I are here. Gulf oysters are great! Deviled eggs appetizer is great! Oyster roll is chunky great! I'll be back...
Kathy Mckinney: Best crab cake anyplace, lots of crab, minimal breading
Allison M.: V&A is open every night for dinner, Chef Carlos has the best crab cake I've ever had in my life, his quail appetizer is incredible, and they serve great burgers at lunch on Fridays (or always in bar).
Nicole: The crab cakes are excellent! The filet mignon is very tender and quite tasty!

Serra C: You can find bluepoint oysters and they always cook steak perfectly
Carrie: had the oysters w/cheese and mahi mahi, all was great! !!! This is my 2nd time here, i came to bring a friend to try the oysters.
Stevenso22: The grilled oysters were out of this world (they are always excellent), the boiled crayfish were very good, and the redfish with Pontchartrain sauce was excellent.
Dini: Don’t be fooled by the exterior or interior decor. If you are looking for fresh, fantastic seafood, check out Jimmy G’s. THE BEST grilled oysters I’ve ever tasted.
