- JJillHouston •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoLove the vibe of this place! Brought my early 20’s sons here for one of their birthdays. Started with the fantastic happy hours with apps and bougie drinks. Excellent presentation of drinks. Then, we sat at a table for dinner. Love the Thai fusion meal flavors. They had a wonderful sign at the table for his bday. That was a nice touch.

- RRosemaryHouston •34 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoAwesome in every way. The manager greeted me by name and acknowledged that I was a repeat customer with a “Welcome back!” greeting. Our server, Rogelio, was attentive and personable . The fish was fabulous, simply prepared, and fresh as could be. And the wine list featured a good variety of choices and was not outrageously priced (a rarity in upscale Houston restaurants). We’ll definitely go back.More infoEddie V's - West AvePrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• River Oaks•4.8
