Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Rice Village

Wonderful 21st birthday celebration for my son. Appetizers, oysters, beef vindaloo, crab and dessert were all extraordinary. And the two best gin and tonics I've ever had. Superior service. Just first rate all around.

Great new addition to Houston food scene, perfectly balanced ambience and good food !

Food was amazing. Def on the smaller portions side. Sashimi is top notch. Service could def be better. More focus on timing of dishes. I like the my rolls at same time as my sashimi. And didn’t order entree until after finishing starters. More attention all the way around needed. I will be back to try Omakase (only available on Tuesday or Wednesday with rev at Sushi bar). But prolly not for a family dinner.

The food was very good and great price point. I really enjoyed the tasting menu!

This was our second trip to MAD. The food is consistently good. The pasta/rice related entries are very tasty but huge...so for most people they are easily big enough to share. In contrast the starters are tapas size...so individual sized but very tasty. The service was attentive both times. It is quieter than many restaurants of its class, especially if you dine before 8:00 p.m. Maybe that is because the Spanish eat very late so it just doesn't get crowded until later. Either way...we had reservations for 6:30 and beat the crowd and the noise.
