Excellent dinner with delicious meat and Mac and cheese! Recommended

Great happy hour and martini night in the bar. Clay and Desiree did an awesome job keeping the drinks, appetizers, and food coming. 

We split our entree and wedge salad. It arrived already separately plated. Our food is always good there. Our server, Grayson, was excellent in every way. He made our evening special.

Very nice place with a great selection and amazing food. Our waiter Caden was very helpful! Will definitely return

What a night! We really enjoyed the Ishtia dining experience. Charmed from the moment I saw the cute little garden and prominently displayed quote from one of my favorite authors, Roald Dahl "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." Really set the stage for our evening. The dining experience starts upstairs in the winery with a drink if you like, and the first few small bites. I don't want to give too much away, but we really appreciated the focus on local and indigenous ingredients. Chef David Skinner guides you through each course and delivers surprises and knowledge without pretension. The main dining experience takes place in a cozy dining room around a gorgeous wooden bar. You are surrounded with unique collection of mementos and ingredients. I did the classic wine pairing and enjoyed it. My dining partner had a couple cocktails, but they have very limited spirits available. The plating and presentation beautifully exceeded my expectations and the food was delicious. Ishtia's awards and hype are well deserved. If you aren't an adventurous eater, this might push your boundaries, but I think most people will leave delighted. Is it expensive? Yeah. BUT this isn't some pretentious place where you pay an outrageous price for absurdly small portions and leave hungry. Those are the worst. After Ishtia, I was well fed, but not uncomfortably full despite the numerous courses. I would put this dinner on par with a Michelin star experience we had in Iceland at Restaurant Ox- both have a skilled chef with laser focused menu and playful fulfilling dining experience. Well worth the drive to Kemah!
