We came as a group of 12, and every single person at the table had nothing but glowing compliments for their dishes. From the appetizers to the desserts, each plate was beautifully presented and full of exquisite flavors. The service was seamless and attentive, making our large group feel truly welcomed and well cared for. The wine selection was also superb, thoughtfully curated and perfectly...

Awesome food, fantastic staff, and on overall excellent experience. Ate there by myself and had a fancy dining experience I've never had before in my life and even though I didn't look like their typical clientele, they still treated me with respect and kindness. Definitely come here to impress a date, but make sure she's worth it cause your are going to need you pocket book.

The charred octopus was delicious, perfectly cooked. The squid ink pasta was a perfect match. The caccio e pepe was heavenly and the scallop dish with butternut squash risotto was superb. Kudos to the chef! Service was impeccable. Glad got there early to enjoy the delicious meal because it got a little too loud when they got busy. A must experience when in Houston.
