Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Upper Kirby / Shepherd Corridor

Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

I’ve been to this establishment a couple times. This has been my best experience by far. Service was great. They accommodated my request for a larger table. My sever Joey was attentive and engaging. The food was great. I recommend the Veal Parmigiana. Vinny, the GM was attending to customers through out the restaurant.

Amazing food! Everything we ordered was delicious! Must try restaurant!

The roasted beet salad was exquisite, light and yummy. Pork chop was lean and delicious with a great Asian/Creole inspired sauce. Flounder was flaky and delicious. The cornbread had a delicious sweetness and it was a bit crunchy. The Louisiana crawfish etoufee was a true disappointment as it had battered shrimp and little crawfish all in a noodle sauce instead of rice! This is why the 4 stars. The bread pudding did not disappoint. The prices are higher than some of the competition. My husband (etoufee) will not return! I will give it another try for lunch because my dish was superb as was my son’s flounder.

We always love coming here and love to see the restaurant being celebrated. I love the changes they've done to the menu design. Beautiful ambiance, great staff and really solid food.
