    The “street food” style fish taco’s were ok, but out of place given the overall quality of the other items offered on the menu for lunch. Two larger tacos with a nice piece of fish would have been preferred vs the 3smaller tacos which seemed more like a snack than a lunch . I probably would not have ordered this dish if it had been identified as “street food” style tacos with underwhelming mass produced grocery store tortillas. A craft style tortilla would have been nice touch. My guests appeared to like their food.

    What a pleasant surprise. Downtown Houston’s secret getaway. Extremely cool, intimate ambiance. Superb cocktails. I had the chicken Marsala and it was amazing. Wait staff service was perfectly timed. Excellent evening that I’d recommend to anyone.

    The ambiance is very nice and comfortable, modern and clean. Our server, Anthony, was also very attentive and friendly. The primary disappointment was the food. The menu seems to have changed and now has fewer options than what had been shown on Open Table. I had the baked salmon, and it was disappointedly mediocre. The vegetables were also overcooked. We did not have dessert.
