While breathtaking park views and 40+ chandeliers are enough to make anyone fall in love with this glass treehouse, this dining destination also offers a top-notch culinary experience that explores the flavors and energy of the small towns of Mexico with a Texas touch. FLORA’s contemporary approach reimagines what Mexican food can be – offering familiar flavors and iconic dishes, newly interpreted. FLORA strips away the formality of dining with a focus on clean, organic, high-quality food made with love, made by hand. The stunning brass and marble bar, teeming with tequila and mezcal, sets the tone for a lively social scene and the unparalleled outdoor terrace is the quintessential Houston outdoor dining experience. For parties of 7+ guests, please submit a private dining request. Out of respect for our chandeliers, we do not allow balloons. We ask that you celebrate your special occasions with our desserts as we do not allow outside cakes. We ask that you leave your pets at home.

Lombardi Cucina Italiana never disappoints. From the moment you walk in the door the service is white glove. The main dinning room is elegant and filled with natural light. Each dish is beautifully plated and absolutely delicious.

Everything was great except thru were running super behind. We had a 7:45 reservation and they didn’t seat us until close to 8:30. Seems like they’re accepting more reservations than they can handle. However service was excellent once we were sat and the food was great!

Excellent experience. Excellent food, service, venue, drinks, wine selection, all excellent. Staff comes and greets you, including management, staff even enjoys bringing art artifacts to your table and sharing their origin and details. We were shown a ceramic owl by Picasso! Highly recommended, worth the wait to get in!

This was our first time at Brenner's. The food and the service were excellent. The waiter acknowledged our Anniversary and congratulated us several times. The steaks were cooked perfectly. And while they are a sister restaurant to Mastro's (which we enjoy), I'd say these steaks were even better than the great steaks we had at Mastro's. The waiter also gave us a special complimentary anniversary brownie a la mode dessert in addition to the creme brulee we ordered. I haven't been back to this location since it was Rainbow Lodge, but I like what Brenner's did with the decor and the overall look of the restaurant.
