- WWilliamVIPTahoe / Reno Area •24 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat neighborhood restaurant in a good location. The service was impeccable including the employees who helped with my elderly mother and her walker. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive. The food was fabulous and dishes were made with imagination, for example the brussels sprout salad. Excellent. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Houston.More infoCoppa OsteriaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Rice Village•4.8

- LLauraVIPGreater Boston •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoChristmas Eve at Hamsa—phenomenal food, wine-pairing (sommelier—so excellent), Yalla yalla experience—flavor, flavor! And the continuous flow of energetic servers capped off an evening with serious conversation, laughter amongst my family. The ambience was excellent. And all 5 of us genuinely appreciated the attention by our host/lead server Shawn—accent and all! Thank you!!More infoHamsaPrice: Expensive• Middle Eastern• Rice Village•4.8
- GGinnyVIPAustin •54 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe love this special little place in Rice Village. Whenever we are in town we try to get a reservation because they are consistently good and have a nice twist to traditional Greek offerings. As many restaurants going through and surviving the pandemic, they have had to adjust their offerings and we think they have planned well. We dined on the most beautiful chicken at Helen’s on Christmas Eve that took me back to the Greek home-cooking I grew up eating. Their selection of Greek wines are always wonderful and the appetizer and salad last night were delish! One would expect that a restaurant could be a bit “off” on a holiday evening, but not this kitchen nor the staff. It was perfection from start to finish and we just wish they were in Austin instead of Houston!More infoHelen Greek Food and WinePrice: Moderate• Greek• Rice Village•4.6
