    Very sweet people, attentive service, and obviously very convenient to the ballpark. We had brunch, eggs overcooked and bland, and other dishes similar. Of course very expensive as well.

    I can sum it up by saying it was fine. The ambience- fine, service- fine, food- fine but nothing really blew me away. The music selection was so weird and took away from the ambience and the loud advertisements were annoying. The decor was nice but the bathrooms were not clean and the (so random) toilet paper was just sitting in the holder. Was really hopeful for a better experience.

    We walked over from our hotel after an Astros game. The food was incredible and service on point. We started with calamari which was crisp and delicious. The Caesar salads were so fresh and the toast points garlicky and a welcome surprise. Our entrees were the Italiano pizza and a pepperoni pizza. Overall we would highly recommend this restaurant.

    We had a great time! Food was excellent and our server, although new, was very good! We had a party of 8 and we tried some specials, some staple dishes and several different cocktails. I would definitely go back.
