    This is my second time at Milton’s. I love the vibe. The waitstaff is extremely seasoned. I know a few from other restaurants that I visited a lot, but are now closed. Milton’s was lucky to get them. The food is wonderful. The misto is my favorite, also the iceberg salad. The arancini is as good as I had in Sicily. The whole fish, Branzino, is stellar. It’s a very intimate and casual space.

    We went to the Marigold club for afternoon tea and all I can say is outstanding. The first thing you see is how beautifully decorated it is and we were seated at a lovely table for two. The wait staff is very attentive. The sandwiches and scones or something I’ve never had and all were very tasty. The toffee scone is simply delicious and is followed by a dish of beautifully decorated little desserts. The tea is different from any tea I’ve ever had in Houston. We will be coming back here for other meals they do have a dinner menu, which we didn’t see but I’m sure it’s just as delicious as everything else. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

    We recently visited Le Jardinier in Houston to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is nestled inside the Museum of Fine Art in Houston and is small and private. It is a perfectly cozy and beautiful space. We selected the chef's 5 course dining along with the wine pairing and it was perfect. Our servers were excellent and knowledgeable with both the food and the wine. The sommelier is attentive and shared fun information regarding the different varieties of champagne and wines throughout the meal. overall, was a delightful experience and Houston is so lucky to have some Michelin star restaurants!
