    Sabrina was wonderful! She greeted our table using the reservation name which was a really nice touch. She was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The hostess team was also wonderful - welcoming us right away and thanking us for coming in as we were departing. The restaurant itself is so pretty. I find the size to be really charming and intimate. It’s a bright and airy space and the noise level is lively but it is very easy to hear everyone around the table. We also loved the food and drinks for brunch. It was a perfect experience!

    Delicious meal, fun atmosphere. Perfect location to go to Hobby Center for show after dinner. We came about 1 1/2 hour prior to show, parked in the Hobby Center garage, and walked over. The service was fantastic- the server even told us about the resident fish. We have been before and will definitely return.

    This was our first time eating here. We had theater tickets and thought it would be convenient to have dinner here first. Cocktails were great , the dinner salad was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed my entree. I had the red fish and my husband had trout. He didn’t particularly like his fish. The dessert was amazing as well. We will definitely go back
