- KKent1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoNavy Blue is easily one of my favorite seafood restaurants in Houston! Everything we had was fantastic, but the crab cake was the standout! It was absolutely delicious and, without a doubt, the best crab cake in town. The swordfish with rye jus was also incredible. Perfectly prepared, flavorful, and a dish I’d happily order again. Our server, Jose, was fantastic and made the experience even better. He told us about their discounted “Boat Drinks” during brunch, and now I can’t wait to come back on Sunday to try them! Great food, great service, and an even better atmosphere. Navy Blue is definitely worth a visit!More infoNavy Blue$$$$• Seafood• Rice Village•4.7
