Ok, we went here for V-Day 2012 just like these peeps below (or above) us in these comments.
First off, we were also a little shocked by the bill. It wasn't too bad, but not really worth what we got. Mark's on Westheimer@Dunlavy is about the same price, but Mark's food/service is way better (at least when we were there).
Fuad's has been in Houston for a long time, a lot longer than Mark's. It's kinda got a ""locals only"" vibe to it. Very romantic, very eclectic. We definitely did NOT feel like one of the crowd and felt a little out of place. We usually drop around two bills on V-day, and don't usually feel like we're not welcome. The regular patrons must drop at least $300. a visit. That's the type of place this is. Oil tycoons. Old money. If you're not either of these, then think twice about eating here. The food was great. The service was ok. We didn't have a bad experience, but we didn't have a great one. For $200. for a couple I should want to come back. We won't be back. We watched the owner pass out roses to the ladies. When he came to us, he laid the rose on the table not even looking at my wife. Eff you dood.
