    The BEST vibe I could have asked for. I went there for my birthday, and I was beyond impressed. It is luxury. The service, food, drinks ambiance, the people.. all scream classy. At night the DJ takes it to a Miami house feel.. tropical and still classy. You can go outside to the balcony and view what I had never seen in Houston, the sky line.. 10/10. I will be going again.

    I loved my experience here! We went for a birthday dinner. The staff were so welcoming and the service was just the right amount of attentive! The oysters were fabulous, as were the martinis. You should absolutely get the chilled asparagus salad as a side and the ocean trout crudo among your starters. Loved every minute here and will return!

    We opted for the outdoor patio because the indoor seating was a bit too packed and loud, and it turned out to be the perfect, quiet spot for conversation. For starters, we ordered the octopus and the French onion soup—the octopus was absolutely spectacular! For our mains, we had the beef bourguignon, the Dover sole, and the duck two ways. The kitchen was incredibly accommodating and split the duck onto two plates for a small $3 fee. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and the portion sizes were generous. I paired a glass of Notre Dame red wine with the beef, which was an excellent match. To finish the night, we had the vanilla bean crème brûlée. It was perfectly smooth with a lovely, distinct hint of vanilla bean. Outstanding service from Logan, and the beautiful weather made for a perfect outdoor dining experience!
