Business Description from the Web

Saba Blue Water Cafe, which was launched in Austin's Warehouse District by partners Chuck Smith and executive chef Larry Perdido around the idea of small plates to share, has moved beyond the appetizer-style fare. That is the result of an expansion into Houston, where the second Saba Blue Water Cafe has become a popular spot in a revitalized area downtown near the theater district. In... more

Set in upscale surroundings, this restaurant offers wonderful Caribbean cuisine, as well as an eclectic mixture of other dishes that draw upon such influences as the diverse cuisines of the Pacific Rim, Mexico, and even Cajun cooking. The results are wonderfully flavourful and true joys of discovery for the lucky diner.

In Short This long, narrow space has weathered oak planks on the floor, exposed wood beams on the ceiling and coarse brick walls. A bar near the front serves as a focal point and seating is either at black booths or blond-wood chairs set up against stark stainless-steel tables. For happy hour or intimate dining, sample dishes from the sharable plates menu, including the masa-fried... more

Saba Blue Water Café is like the depths of the ocean, bubbling with exotic sea creatures and pretty patrons but also clean, spacious and serene. Here’s a hotspot for shareable appetizers fusing tastes from the Pacific Rim, Mexico and New Orleans, but don’t overlook the mecca of full entrées. We find the mahi mahi with lemongrass cream to be fresh and light, and the grilled jerk chicken... more

We have only visited once, but had a wonderful time. Our waitress was attentive, respectful and helpful. She helped us with our requests and made certain the kitchen made certain we didn't get any allergenic foods.

It was an overall great experience.

Pros

+ Trendy Customers, tasty snacks, attentive service

I came to Saba recently with some co-workers for happy hour and we had a feast for less than $100 for 8 people. We ordered several appetizers and everyone had a cocktail...or two. Their happy hour prices can't be beat. The calamari and tuna appetizer are especially yummy!

Pros

+ Prices, Atmosphere

Cons

- Parking?

I used to love this place and go there every Wednesday... well the last time I went they started charging an 18% mandatory tip...not that it's THAT big of a deal...but when you have 3 people drinking it's not like the waiter is not going to get a tip... even if the service is a bit sketchy...I mean our waiter must have been stoned or something! He forgot 2 "sharable plates" that we ordered and... more
