This restaurant had some of the worst food I've had in a restaurant. I ordered the salmon and it came dripping in oil. There were puddles of it on my plate and had made the arugula soggy. It was inedible. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be back.
On a good note, the ambiance was great and the service was top notch. Too bad the food didn't match.

The only dish we like is one of the appetizers - the mussels are in generous portion and the source is savory. When we asked for more bread, the female server with black frame glasses said they charge additonal bread for 8 dollars. Not sure if it’s only the case for us but be aware if you really want more bread to pair with the source. And there is only one kind of bread they can offer. 👻
The duck breast paella is super salty. There are 6 pieces of thin sliced duck meat lying on the over seasoned rice.
The burger is overcooked and not juicy at all.
They messes up our bills with another table. - another bummer! The server (again, the female with black frame glasses) who messed up the bill seemed impatient and even held my hand to move my phone several angles to touch the post machine when the machine was not responding fast. - it’s very rude to customer who tipped you generously and willing to come back to fix the bills you messed up.

It is rare that I feel the need to leave a negative review, but the sheer lack of professionalism at MAD tonight was impossible to ignore. We came to celebrate a birthday, only to be met with service that would be considered subpar at a casual diner.
The table maintenance was nonexistent. Staff walked past our plates piled with shells and waste without a second thought—a basic standard for a restaurant of this level. More insulting was the blatant dishonesty or incompetence from the kitchen: being served 5 pieces of shrimp when the menu explicitly advertises 8 pieces in bold letters. Why mention 8 pieces if you’re going to arbitrarily put random number of shrimps on the plate. To cap off an already disappointing evening, a massive billing error forced us to return to the restaurant after we had already moved on. For the price point, this experience was a very negative experience.

One of the greatets culinary expriences I’ve had in the city of Houston. The Iberico ham and the duck apricot paella were absolutely insane. Give them their michelin star already. Amazing service and amazing interior design.

We had both David’s helping us and they were amazing! The food was delicious, the drinks were awesome, and the vibes were exactly what we were hoping for on our girls night out! Definitely will be back :)

Went to MAD for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. The staff was sooo attentive and told us about the artwork, cleared our plates quickly, and checked in on us frequently to make sure everything was going smoothly.
I got a birthday dessert and took some great photos. Will definitely be back if I ever return to Houston.
Seated for a first date at 7:20 and they came to our table at 8:43 and said there was a two hour max time in dining for a party of two. We were still talking and getting to know one another so I told them we haven’t even been there an hour and a half yet. It got awkward. I spent $225 to get told it’s time to go.

Great food and drinks. Service is excellent. Most of all the restaurant decor is a vibe!!! Original art pieces throughout 🔥 We will definitely go back soon.

Excellent food and service in the most eclectic restaurant space in Houston. Try the liquid olives and paella style dishes
