The ambiance is great, the bar area is very impressive, and the menu seems as though it should be top notch. However, the food was quite disappointing across the board. We had 3 appetizers and 3 main courses which were shared, but the only thing that was decent was the octopus appetizer. The veal was tough, the pizza was average at best, the pasta was fair, and the de-boned bronzino was full of bones. While it's a great atmosphere, the overall results were not great and our waiter was less than friendly unfortunately. Maybe it was a bad night, but overall I will try other places before coming back here.

Non cash surcharge. Valet that’s too slow. Waited 30 minutes past reservation time to be seated. Wine selection was good. Chicken parm and lamb ragu were good. $8 bread service not worth it; should be maybe $4 max.

Celebrating birthdays. The restaurant was packed, so our 7 PM reservation had a wait, only until 7:15 PM. The food was delicious. It was super noisy, but love the overall ambience. I thought they did a great job, considering how crowded it was. Love this place!

We were there for half an hour before we had anything to drink. We sat on the in the patio area, which was really pretty, but incredibly loud. When we received our bill, we discovered a 3.5% charge on the total bill for using a credit card. This was not mentioned anywhere before this time and we were using a gift card. Will not be back.

Upon sitting down my friend was explaining his food allergies to the waiter and the waiter walked away and started to make out with the other female waiter. The female waiter also grabbed the male waiters private parts. I find this extremely uncomfortable. Not only did you not hear about my friend allergies but we all had to witness that. And there was a minor at the table. The food however was superb though. However with many good restaurants in Houston and the reputation of the restaurant group, we expected higher service.

The food and cocktails were excellent. Wonderful flavors. The atmosphere was perfect. The service seemed to be a little stretched among too many tables but was very nice and engaged. The "outdoor" seating is not quite a patio with good air flow as some would desire if they are worried about virus transmission inside.

Wonderful dishes and well timed courses. Truely was patient and very sweet with guiding us through some options to best fit our dining experience. Would recommend for a date night or nice night out with friends. It seems to be busy on weekends so not a quiet spot but more so a lively ambiance with a casual twist to fine dining.

Would be a great place to sit at the bar to have cocktails and a pizza. But dinner/food not worth the price IMO. Also they charge 3.5% for credit card use. Not a large sum but a bit tacky in my opinion.

The customer service here was just excellent and a highlight of our evening. The 4 of us had an out of the way table which made it easier to visit even though the restaurant was very busy. The food was delicious, but the menu is a bit limited. I would like to see more seafood entrees offered. Some dishes are pretty expensive but I guess that is just a reflection of a good restaurant and the price of everything now. We didn’t find the valet easily so parked a couple blocks away…better signage about valet parking would help. We enjoyed the evening and would return!
