- MMarkVIPHouston •16 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFantastic meal from starters to mains. The Razor Clams were so good we ordered it a second time. The Crystal Blue Prawns were very tasty as was the Octopus Carpaccio. We finished with the Lamb Ragu, which was outstanding. Service (KQ) and Sommelier (Nick) were attentive and friendly. Trenton in the bar area was great as well. We will be back when in town.More infoNidoPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary French / American• Bouldin Creek•4.7
- JJasmineVIPDallas - Fort Worth •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI had a great experience! The wait staff were friendly and personable. The food was cooked well (we had the Korean Fried Chicken and the Burger). The ambiance is creatively corky and the patio is nice and with a slight tinge of romance is you sit in the farthest section of the patio. I will definitely go again.More infoHoney Moon Spirit LoungePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Central Austin•4.8
- CCoreyHouston •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoEvery dish and every cocktail was outstanding. Flavor explosions with every bite, well balanced and unique cocktails. Gabby and Rudy took great care of us, George is a true hospitalitarian, and everyone who came to our table was so knowledgeable about the item they were serving. Great restaurant, great staff. Completely understandable why they earned a Michelin star. Run, don’t walk, to your reservation now!More infoHestiaPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.8
- DDominicVIPWest Palm Beach •7 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 15, 2024The food was incredible and the service was fantastic. We were there for brunch and had the pancakes, breakfast tacos and steak and eggs along with the delicious Revive smoothie. They use all the healthiest ingredients. We ended up eating here several times over a long weekend. Every meal was flavorful and vibrant. We literally kept going back the Well.More infoThe WellPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
