We loved everything we ordered. The drinks were amazing, the food was delicious and flavorful. Everything served was impeccable. The service was excellent and was made even more special by Edgar. We’re happy we chose to celebrate our 7th anniversary here. The establishment is truly deserving of its michelin star.

Once again we were delighted by the chef(s) at the Sushi Bar. Our schedule doesn’t allow a formal Omakase experience but, the Chef’s Table never disappoints! We were treated to a wide range of the most wonderful seasonal seafood. The offerings were fantastic, some of the most delicate and palate pleasing selections. When we can’t have Omakase, we literally ask the chefs to surprise us. They always exceed our expectations. We make sure we dine with them every time we visit Houston .

Three of us met for lunch there today and had a perfect experience. I got the Yardbird, 1/4 fried chicken (I chose white meat) and it was some of the best fried chicken I have had in recent memory. It came with collard greens and mashed potatoes, both of which were great, although the potatoes were a bit dry. A friend got chicken and waffle with same fried chicken on a good looking waffle. The other got the bacon-cheeseburger with ground and braised beef. It looked totally awesome with hand cut fries. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Our server was attentive and checked on us a couple of times without being intrusive. I would strongly recommend this restauarant!
