We had husband’s 50th birthday celebration at bistro. To be honest I am a little disappointed. At first the waiter told us it is $20 per bottle corkage fee, 10 mins later, he said sorry, it is $35 per bottle…. Then the food I ordered was disappointing. Good presentation but…I ordered King of Sea, the sea bass was totally over cooked, it is so hard to chew on. We had a party of 12, it takes me several times to remind waiters to bring the bread come with the order. Overall, I won’t recommend this place for a large party event. Maybe a few friend to hang out and don’t order their sea bass.

I would have given it 5 stars, but my veal was well done and had no flavor. They replaced it with an amazing Chilean Seabass. It was so light and flaky! The bacon wrapped quail was good. The white chocolate bread pudding was ok, I've had better most other places. The waiter was very nice and helped me fix my meal. One of the other waitresses was not so sccommodating and told me that's the way they cooked the veal. Over all, I would be careful what you order if you come here.

I came with my best friend for Houston Restaurant Weeks and this was our first stop. I don’t remember my first course, but for my entree I had the veal & lobster tail and my friend had the halibut I think. The flavors in the sauces were great, the only problem is I started to feel queasy about halfway through the meal. I had the bread pudding for dessert, hoping the sugar would curb my nausea, but it didn’t. The bread pudding was still delicious, would recommend. The service was quick and friendly, no complaints there. I also had a dirty martini to drink, which wasn’t nearly dirty enough. Four stars overall, which I think is generous.

Sine we have group, they have arranged private room for us, make sure we are not too "loud"??We had restaurant of week menu on Sunday lunch, only 2 courses, but calamari and soup was good dinner size which fill you up...no doubt ?Will come back for dinner again!

I booked a reservation online for 7/22/23 @8:00pm which was my 36th Birthday. I was so excited about the opportunity to have this dining experience and celebrate along with my Husband. We were all dressed up for the fine dining occasion. We arrive about 30min early traffic wasn’t bad. So my husband went inside to ask the host could we be seated early or just wait for our reservation time. The host looked stunned as to how he even was able to walk through the front doors and confused about why we were even there. The host said “Look around we’re NOT taking any reservations or regular outside guests. Due to a WEDDING reception booked the entire restaurant for the evening/night. Therefore shutting it down to the public. This was very disheartening and disappointing because we’ve heard so many great things about this place. The owners or technicians should have more control over the website, Google/reservations to not allow people to book if they’re not vacant. There wasn’t even anything outside the doors to let the public know a wedding was taking place, decor etc. No “We’re Closed” actually the OPEN sign was still on (red light). And due to booking with this location everyone else was booked for the night Mastro’s, Steak 48 etc. We ended up making the best of our night and limited options, but due to how we were greeted and disorganization we’ve crossed this place off our list.

Staff was friendly and attentive. Meal came out hot and fresh. The Gulf Snapper with Chef´s Spicy Sauce was a bit overcooked, but the flavors were unbelievable and more than made up for it. I'll no doubt be back.

My party went on a Thursday night, so it was pretty calm but the food, service & ambience was on point. Extra points for the drinks too. Our waitress Hannah did a very good job! ? thank you again :)

The best crab cake of my life!!! The reason I did not give this place 5 stars was because my mom ordered the blue onyx’s pasta and it was super thick. But the service was great and the atmosphere was beautiful.

This is by far our favorite restaraunt in Houston! It is absolutely beautiful--incredible lighting.See pic. And the food was delicious. The service superb. I had the Hawaiin Flounder w crabmeat. See pic. The presentation is wonderful, with an orchid on top-and great portion. My hubby had the Truffle Scallop Pasta. He loved that. This restaraunt is AMAZING! Oh, and let's not forget the Chocolate eruption cake. Awesome and huge for sharing. Easy location, lots of parking. Oh, and if you have a really big party, they have a beautiful separate glassed room. This restaraunt is our go to when we visit Houston!

Went on a Friday night, not too busy. the servers were very attentive and explained the menu well - I had never been before.My friend and I got the 3 course for 55$, I felt as if it was worth the price with the amount of food I received. Plating was beautiful and the seafood was fresh and delicious. Would definitely recommend
This place has been around now and the food it always consistent The sushi is pretty good and the service is fast see picture attached of the menue

This is a great seafood restaurant. We had the escargot and it was amazing. My husband had the red fish and it was wonderful. I had the Japanese style crab cakes and they were fabulous and huge. There were 2 and I took one home. Had it tonight as an appetizer and it was still fabulous. We had great service and enjoyed everything.

Our anniversary dinner was amazing! My husband went on Yelp to find a restaurant for us and this one did NOT disappoint! We had the Watermelon Basil w/ smoked Mezcal and a Paloma for drinks. For starters we had the shrimp bisque (must have) and crab in garlic butter!For our entrees we both had fish and they were both prepared perfectly! I had the King of The Sea and my husband had the House Smoked Snapper with Zucchini instead of bacon wrapped asparagus.This is a 10/10, for sure!

Everything was excellent --the waiter, the food, and the ambiance inside-- simply spectacular!First time trying escargot, and sad that I had not visited the restaurant sooner--they were so delicious...the seasoned butter was simply delicious that I dipped my bread until butter was gone. I love tempura shrimp, and they did not disappoint, although I would have preferred tempura sauce instead of the accompanied sauce. The crostini bread that came with escargot, I did not eat...too hard; but the warm bread in basket made up for hard crostini bread.
Parking: Plenty of parking spaces

Four of us ate here for lunch during Houston Restaurant Weeks. The lobster bisque was in a large bowl and was very tasty. The fried calamari was tender and ample. The seafood pasta with shrimp, clams and fish was a large helping and tasty as well. Three people got the Hawaiian flounder and one said theirs was overcooked. We all decided we would like to return to try other items. The decor is modern with loud music playing.
