    Amazing experience! Everyone there was incredibly respectful. The Brussels Sprouts were delicious! My family enjoyed their steaks, but wished there was a little bit more seasoning that they were cooked more accurately as far as temperature. It was very loud in the restaurant, but we still had a great time. Definitely a great place to have a date or celebrate with family and friends, and make some memories!

    We had two babies we brought to brunch for Father’s Day and the staff was very accommodating and thoughtful about where they sat us and allowing us to have space for our stroller’s was very nice. I would definitely come back here again!

    Service was excellent. Food was well prepared and seasoned well. Starters Peruvian ceviche and the angry scorpion roll were very tasty! The Toro Toro churrasco sampler was a good survey of the restaurant’s grilled specialties - a great choice and filled our party of four. Thanks for a super pre-concert dinner.

    Always a great meal at the Grotto downtown Houston! The house salad is always super fresh and light. The shrimp pasta dish was delicious and nicely spiced. Our server was very knowledgeable and super friendly which seems to be rare these days. Thank you, Grotto, for a great meal!!
