We went to the Marigold club for afternoon tea and all I can say is outstanding. The first thing you see is how beautifully decorated it is and we were seated at a lovely table for two. The wait staff is very attentive. The sandwiches and scones or something I’ve never had and all were very tasty. The toffee scone is simply delicious and is followed by a dish of beautifully decorated little desserts. The tea is different from any tea I’ve ever had in Houston. We will be coming back here for other meals they do have a dinner menu, which we didn’t see but I’m sure it’s just as delicious as everything else. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

Fiori was a quick pick close to home, but it turned out to be an excellent choice. Everything we tried was delicious - the burrata fritta and bresaola as starters, followed by the fried lamb chops, eggplant parmigiana, and lobster ravioli were all excellent. And the service was really great - Laura and her colleagues made sure we had everything we needed just when we needed it. Overall very well worth the trip and we will certainly be back.

Beef is flank steak but prepared Parisian style unlike anywhere else in TX. Sole for 2 is the main of choice. Butterfly desert not to be missed, take photo of it. Order wine by the bottle, by glass is 4oz paring pour instead of typical 6. Well worth the wait for a reservation. Ignore sticker shock when the tab comes. A dining experience not to be missed. Don’t have to travel to France.
