My last visit dining on their absolutely outstanding indoor/outdoor Terrace was magical. The service was amazing as usual. And it looks like the kitchen got itself back together so that they are pushing out beautiful looking and beautiful tasting food once again. Yay! This Houston gem, attached to one of Houston’s best hotels, just has to get it right. With a perfect combo of ambiance, service, and food, this place is a triple threat😃

Fabulous. Simply fabulous. Every morsel of food is exquisite and exudes flavor. The service is also attentive and yet non-intrusive. This is such a great dining experience - it’s not pretentious but it’s a food lover’s delight.
