We absolutely loved our entire experience from beginning to end. The service was impeccable. We could not have asked for better care during our anniversary dinner and the food was incredibly delicious. For us, the crab risotto was not a winner, but it was different and good to try Cajun oysters so freaking good!!

This was a celebration for my husbands birthday and it absolutely blew us away!! March provided the best dining experience we have ever had. The staff was flawlessly attentive and in sync. The history that accompanied each dish added an exciting element to the dining experience. We had more courses than we even anticipated and the food was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make our evening both filled with celebration and extra special and we are still so in awe at the attention to detail.

Lovely spot with great food and warm service! The staff is always the best—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The martinis were perfectly made, and the appetizers were absolutely delicious. Don’t leave without trying the strawberry rhubarb butter cake—it’s definitely a must!

Everything was magnificent. Roshi, our waiter, was superb. Best meal of 2025 so far, and the absolute best dal I have ever had. Will most definitely return if I am in Houston again.

Beautiful restaurant. Table was ready early. Tagliolini table side preparation and presentation for birthdays (sparkler) are neat touches for a fine dining experience. Chicken piccata, Brussels sprouts, tomato caprese salad, hazelnut chocolate dessert, and service were all very good.

Had the tasty Greenberg salad-of course the truffle pasta was wonderful and the rib eye was delicious as was the artichoke. Topped it off with the brown butter date cake. Serviced lacked a bit at the end - he did split all of our bar drinks and entrées and wine so that was very helpful. Unfortunately, we left without our leftovers -ribeye and artichoke. In the past, they’ve always been handed to us upon departure and I completely forgot to double check.
