From the crispy shrimp and beet salad to the flavorful steak, caramel cake, and great coffee, every course was phenomenal. By far one of my favorite dinner experiences of the year and favorite steakhouses in Houston. Ask for MICHELLE A - Stellar waitress who was above and beyond and served with excellence and a great, fun attitude. Only complaint was the volume of the people sitting in the booth that is connected to ours.

We gathered here for a Christmas celebration. We were welcomed in right away. The atmosphere was great. A little loud but that is expected in the holidays. The clam chowder was served nice and warm and was delicious. Their bread was good. Their sea bass is not to be missed. Their lobster risotto was excellent. Their Halibut was very fresh. It appears that this restaurant prides themselves on fresh ingredients and it shows through their food. The owner checked on us during our dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for such a great evening. We will return.
