    We enjoyed our food after completing the Houston Marathon earlier in the day. The hostess was so sweet and accommodating. The filet was good and cooked perfectly. The shrimp and grits was great- and plentiful. The sauce in the dish was gross and ruined the overall taste. The deviled eggs for the appetizer had a yummy jam on top was lacked seasoning overall.

    I do not usually leave review, just like to review the review just like you lol But this place is so dope and unique it deserves a review. There is nothing like it in greater Houston are. A beautifully set up speakeasy with high-quality and luxury cocktails expertly paired with their own hand-crafted chocolates that are literally like nothing else you have ever tasted (I won't spoil the surprise). Mike and his team know what they are doing, and you will not be disappointed. Took my wife here for a surprise bday activity after dinner and she loved it. We loved it so much; we took home some chocolate and will be coming back next quarter when their new menu comes out. I have never been and had no idea what we were walking into and if it would be a flop or a great night. Booked the tasting on a whim and it ended up being one of the coolest dates we have been on in a while (and we have tried just about everything). If you want to impress your date, enjoy time out with friends, have a girl's night, or just want to experience a unique place - you have to give a try.
