My only disappointment was that my wife booked it for my birthday. We saw other customers given complimentary birthday slice. We ordered a full lunch, but I was not equally treated with a birthday slice, for my December birthday.
Business lunch was very good. I recommend the salmon which is uniquely prepared. Service was great.
We had a great time. My friends and I enjoyed it very much. Nice to see everyone at the restaurant happy and social. Definitely will come back to this restaurant.
I brought my family to your restaurant tonight to celebrate my daughter’s 13th birthday. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing and upsetting.
• Service: It took an unreasonably long time for anyone to take our order. At fine dining establishments, I expect servers to walk guests through the menu and make recommendations. Instead, we were treated as if we were a burden, with no effort to provide guidance or hospitality.
• Treatment: It was clear that the wait staff catered differently to certain clientele. As guests who were not of the same race as others being served, we received noticeably inferior treatment. This is unacceptable and discriminatory.
• Food Quality: The dishes we received were subpar and did not reflect the standards or pricing of a fine dining restaurant.
• Birthday Celebration: The most disappointing moment was when the table next to us, also celebrating a birthday, was given a dessert with a candle and a cheerful acknowledgment. My daughter received nothing—not even a simple “happy birthday.” The only people to acknowledge her were the hostesses and for that I truly appreciate it.
This was a waste of time and money, and more importantly, it left my daughter feeling overlooked on her special day. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses both the quality of service and the discriminatory treatment we experienced.

First visit to Houston and found an absolutely perfect gem. Food was fantastic (warning the Pork Chop is massive!!!). Ambiance was truly amazing, patios nicely lit, staff were very attentive and polite.
A definate visit if you in the area.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had in Houston! Service was amazing and almost felt like you were in a movie! Waiter was very attentive and answered every single question we had about the menu. We ordered a lot of food as well as a bottle of wine and other drinks and our bill was very reasonable for the food and drinks we ordered! Keep doing what you are doing, we will be back!

Our server AA was great! He was nice and tell me everything I needed to know and was able to help me pick the best meal. We sat out side and had a wonderful experience.

My friend and I felt very rushed and dismissed by the wait staff. The other diners also had stuffy vibe. The vibe of the restaurant felt off and unwelcoming.
The egg yolk raviolo is amazing. Definitely recommend. Everything was great. Service, customer service.
We absolutely loved this restaurant. The bilingual service was excellent from the start—very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious; we followed the chef's recommendation and tried the halibut... it was spectacular! The atmosphere on the terrace is amazing, truly one of the best patios I've visited: beautiful décor and a very chic vibe. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

This was my first time at this resident and it was AMAZING. I enjoyed the ambience, food, and service. Alexander Anderson was our waiter and he was so patient, informative and funny. Great energy and would highly recommend him

Unfortunately, we won't be back. The service was beyond disappointing. The were only 5 other tables occupied in the dining room with us so it certainly wasn't busy. I had to ask for menus, ask for olive oil twice, never received ice water we requested after finishing our bottle of sparkling, had to ask for the status of our food and the check. They never checked on us after food was delivered so I had to call a waiter over for salt. Didn't clear our dirty dishes until another server noticed and picked them up. My son refused the birthday dessert because we had had enough.
The food was AMAZING! The flavors were explosive and every dish was delicious.. the Shrimp & Crake “Cheesecake” was my favorite. The lamb chops were too dry for med-rare and could have used a little for sauce to balance that out. But overall, I was impressed with the food.
The table service was cold, not as a friendly or personable as I am used to. Other than that, I would return again for a second try..!

I really wanted to love this place, but it simply did not meet expectations. The atmosphere and overall quality of the setting were excellent, but the service was absolutely terrible. Aside from the general manager and head of staff checking in twice during our 2–3 hour dining experience, the rest of the service was unacceptable.
I understand that we had a table of six adults and two children, but it took nearly one to two hours before we even received our entrées. Throughout the meal, our table was largely ignored, servers rarely checked on us, and when they did, they were dismissive and unprofessional. Several times, staff bumped into guests while placing plates and silverware, and some appeared unable to communicate effectively in English, which made ordering unnecessarily difficult.
When servers did approach our table, it was often to ask, “Do you need an explanation of the menu?” a question repeated multiple times while we were still waiting to place our orders. It was frustrating to have to flag down staff just to be acknowledged, and waiting nearly two hours for our meals was unacceptable.
Overall, the service was terrible, the food was decent, and while I don’t mind paying $600 for a table of eight, I expect the service to reflect that price point.
