Great decor, great food, great service, eclectic crowd! We had wanted to go for a while and finally made it happen. The inside is absolutely lovely, but we dined on the patio. This is one of the nicer patios in Houston, sheltered in a courtyard away from busy traffic. It still faces the entrance so you can do some people watching. They were quite busy, yet service was on point. Never did we feel rushed nor neglected. The cocktails were yummy, the appetizers wonderful, and the main course amazing. Leave room for dessert! Some recommendations: smoked scallops for appetizer, lobster risotto or cod for mains, cheesecake or pistachio ice cream for desert. Will be back!
Ideal For: date with friends/family, dinner with coworkers, carefully crafted drinks, trendy vibe, good ambiance. Our faves: Fresh Italian Burrata Stuffed in an Heirloom Tomato, Texan Blackened Red Snapper, Linz Heritage Center Cut Beef Tenderloin, Valrhona Chocolate Royal, Pimm's Spritz. Keep in mind: Lively place, beautiful decoration, nice bar, service can be slow but waiters are friendly and attentive (one of our dishes came out cold), special attention to food plating and flavor combinations. Overall, I would come back for the ambiance and drinks but food wasn't my favorite.

Enchanting atmosphere, exquisite cuisine and flawless service. Chief of operations Sylvain Denis cheerfully welcomed us into the culinary wonderland created by Chefs Debon and Denis; we enjoyed an unparalleled dining experience!

I was torn between giving 3 or 2 stars. Honestly the service we received killed it for us. We had a large reservation for a group of us. The waiter was rude and made rude comments. I had to ask for a straw several separate times and he said to me "you asked me three times I'll get it when I take everyone's order" about 15 minutes had gone by since the first time he asked to begin with. It doesn't take 15 minutes and a smart comment to get a straw. His attitude got better through the evening. But a few other comments had been made to our guests that were unnecessary. The food was good the scallops were phenomenal! The Lamb is good the gnocchi not so much it was fairly dry. Are mini baguettes were hard as a rock. The drinks were extremely strong and not well balanced in my opinion, several members of our group didn't like the drinks because the flavors just didn't go together well. Overall food presentation is great, the restaurant is beautiful. Parking isn't terrible because it has valet. But rude service can truly ruin an experience. Our group in total cost over $1300 so it was unacceptable to have unwarranted poor service at that cost.

My husband and I dine all over the world. This was the most beautifully presented cuisine I've ever seen! And it is absolutely delicious. Our server, Luis, was very good. Highly recommend the beet salad, tomato w burrata cheese, tenderloin, blackened sea bass and cheesecake. This is our second time to go, and we will be back! ??️

Free parking! Ample parking. The vibe inside is elegant and classy. Our server was very friendly. The matcha cocktail is a definite must! The burrata with pesto was creatively presented. The flavor was powerful and good sized. The mushroom risotto is savory and great for vegetarians! The chef came and talked to us and gave us a tour of the kitchen. It would be nice if they rotate their menu and offer more vegetarian options in the future.

I made a reservation online for my anniversary. As we were arriving hostess opened door for us and greeted us nicely. If you're not in a booth I think the tables are awkwardly close. We got scallops for appetizer and the cod and snapper for entree which were delicious! And a chocolate cake for dessert. I really wanted to do the tasting menu but nothing really stood out to me. Food was so good I'd definitely come back to try some different items. I guess the only thing I was waiting for or my only complaint is a little "happy anniversary" or something would've been nice. I mean why would they ask if we were celebrating anything when making the reservation if they aren't going to say anything or at least have a little dessert for you...the table next to us were also celebrating and the girl had to ask if they do anything for birthdays for them to bring something out. For the price I'm expecting service to be a little better and to have that ready. But I didn't say anything and went on with the dinner...I'd probably dock another half star for cleanliness...felt dust was about to fall on my food/drink from the ceiling lights. Those bulbs looked like they've never been cleaned
What a lively fun place with excellent ambiance and presentation of dishes. Fun experience and the food was more around B+. Still very good and accessible to more people versus even more upscale exclusive places. Fish was excellent, tried halibut and the snapper. Great polenta. Wild mushroom soup was very good. Bone in ribeye with the French name was also very good and marbled. Loved the presentation, steam, decor, design. Fun place to share dishes with a small group.

Exquisite presentations! Smoky scallops were delicious as was everything we tried....Foie gras, cod, and steak all excellent. Desserts were so uniquely created and YUMMY! Must try the cheesecake, chocolate cake and pistachio ice cream too. ?

Beautiful restaurant. Food was good but felt like prices were very high for what was served. $15 for 4 mini baguettes which didn't taste like much with small dishes of butter, olive oil and olive tapenade was not worth the money. With a lot of the entrees above $50, I think bread service should be included. We had three at our table and all were pleased with our entrees. We had the Osso Buco, Atlantic Cod and the Filet. The Rosso Buco was $98 which is the most expensive I have ever seen for this dish. Having eaten at many high end restaurants in Houston we will not be going back here soon. For these prices, the service could have been better too.

We had a wonderful experience! Had to wait a bit for the table to be ready but we sat at the bar & the drinks were awesome. Food was great, & the temp was just right. Service was impeccable! Will definitely revisit!
