Food was good but we didn’t like it as much as the old Eculent concept. The warm dishes were served at room temperature which was disappointing. We thought creativity wasn’t the best but the uniqueness of ingredients was definitely there. Expect a 4 hour dinner

Where to begin. This was more than a gastronomical experience, and I commend the staff for what they presented and how they pulled it off - truly a special evening. The courses were mostly (but not all!) exceptional. And the staff was warm and engaging and unpretentious. So why only 3 stars for service? Because 4 (yes FOUR) hrs is waaay too long and it begins to feel a little self indulgent and not about giving the customer an optimal experience. Course after course comes out, and it becomes a question of endurance. Maybe drop a couple (or three courses)? That might also help reduce the high price... approaching $1000 for two (yes, with wine pairings) seems excessive (easily the most we've spent at any restaurant in the Houston area - and we've been to a number).

We went last night. We had been to Eculent and The Prsrv several times and enjoyed both immensely . Chef David Skinner and his staff did an amazing job! Love the new concept! Love the history lesson that accompanies each of the 20 dishes. The wine pairing was really good. The craft drinks were very unique and tasty. This is a fantastic dining experience that I highly recommend.

If you can afford it and really want a memorable evening, get yourself a reservation. As my husband said, he knew it was going to be good, but he couldn't even conceive what a tremendous experience we had. I don't want to spoil the surprise, and the menu is seasonal anyway. Just know that you will not be disappointed. The food, the stories, the people, and the space are magnificent examples of what passionate people can produce. Such down-to-earth folks sharing their wonderful creations in a really comfortable environment. So much fun. We had a really fantastic evening. This is a really special place.

So this amazing woman I'm lucky enough to call my wife and partner in crime was able to get us VIP chefs table seats at the pre open for Ishtia the next great restaurant from the amazing culinary wizard David Skinner of eculent fame. If you have never been or are looking for an amazing foodie experience... Get reservations today. It's not cheap but well worth it. Could not think of a better way to ring in my 60th. Wow. Sorry no pics yet till it opens officially next week. AMB2! ❤️❤️❤️
