    It was one of the most memorable experiences in Houston, Texas. I went here on a date and the Christmas theme was phenomenal. We both had the wagyu filet mignon with jumbo asparagus, macaroni, mashed potatoes. Paired with a red wine. For dessert she had the key lime tart and I had the pineapple carrot cake with brown butter cream. The price was fair for this experience. I would recommend anyone to this fine dining restaurant.

    Our food was wonderful. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that they seated us close to the doors going out to the bar and some of us were freezing because people went in and out so often. Some of us had our coats on our lap to help keep warm.

    We love it here. We sat in a room we never sat at before and it was very, very cold in there. Other than that we loved it!

    Our table was next a family with 2 kids and a table of 6 with kids but the worst was our table was by the rest room and the kitchen and the music was very loud - reminded me of why we don’t go there - and ours was a business dinner

    This is one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. Maybe because it was Sunday night, but we were disappointed in the service, food, wine and valet. We have been regulars there, but not sure when we will go back.
