    We arrived on time for our reservation, but there were several other events happening at the same time. They found a place for 3 adults and one over-tired toddler. They cleaned up a spilled drink quickly, and just overall helped keep things moving without making us feel rushed.It was great!

    Great experience! Staff & customer service were phenomenal, and the food was great to match. Wish this were in my home town to have as a go-to location, but it’s a must-go if you’re in Houston!

    Our group had a very nice dinner and the food and service were very good. Our server was attentive and came by multiple times to check on us. I would go back again next time in Houston. The value of the food was very good. All of thought it was very reasonable.

    Our bartender / waiter Gabe was AMAZING! Very attentive and informative. The food was great and Gabe never let our bottomless mimosas get close to the bottom. I’d highly recommend Osso & Kristalla, and I’d highly recommend sitting with Gabe!

    Limited menu and even more limited italian options. Only four types of pasta, only four options as main courses. Nice environment, nice attention, nice pizza and sandwiches. More Texan than Italian restaurant. I little bit expensive since the food portions were small.
