Best Restaurants for People Watching in Bellaire

Absolute standout for Italian food in Houston. Italian American with great service and a modern touch. Could easily be compete with New York Italian. Wine list very well priced and well curated. Highlights were the sweetbreads, tuna N’duja, chicken parm, and dry aged steak either crispy potatoes. But honestly every dish was an absolute hit. Not one lackluster plate.

Restaurant is very nice and upscale. Food was good and steak was good prepared. Cocktails were tasty. Service was moderate with time but excellent with water. Thanks

I took my mother here for her birthday Jan 5th, 2025 and we had an outstanding dinner experience. We went on a Sunday at 5:30pm and there wasn’t many other tables there, and throughout the entire night even when the restaurant filled up, the noise level was still low, very intimate vibe. Throughout the dinner, we had the manager constantly checking up on us to make sure everything was good, very friendly and receptive to any feedbacks we gave her. We ordered 2 drinks, 5 order of nigiris (each nigiri order comes in 2), 2 maki roll dishes, and two main dishes, and 1 dessert (got a bonus dessert because it was mom’s birthday), total came out to be $273 (without tip) and I think that’s pretty reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend the Nigiris, very fresh and delicious. For our main dishes, I ordered a Miso Black Cod and found bones in it, so be careful while consuming this dish, but overall, great seasoning and flavor. My mother main dish was the Surf Turf Saltado, sadly her tenderloin were burnt, the lobster piece was okay and seasoning was underwhelming, she didn’t like it much (they did not charge us for this, which was very kind of them). but overall, all the other dishes were great, you can see our rating below: - Komorebi (drink N/A) - 2/5 - Hanayome (drink) - 3.5/5 - Seaweed Salad - 4/5 - Maki - Flaming King Crab Roll - 4/5 - Surf & Turf Roll - 4.5/5* - Nigiri - Madai (Japanese snapper) - 4.5/5* - Hamachi (yellowtail) - 4.5/5 - Hotate (scallop) - 3/5 - A5 Wagyu (Miyazaki Prefecture) - 4/5 - Unagi (eel) - 5/5* - Miso Black Cod - 4/5 - Surf Turf Saltado - 1/5 (tenderloin was burnt) - Matchamisu - 3/5 - Special Strawberry Dessert - 4/5

This place was a literally a vibe! love the food, the shows during your dinner, the music, the food was very delicious. Only thing i complaint is the service is kind of hurry but overall highly recommend to feel you are in other city

Great food and service quality. The waitress was outstanding.
