Great service and delicious food! Drinks were amazing, but due to the Valentine’s Day crowd, it took a while to get drinks. Overall an awesome experience and ambient.

Amazing energy just from walking in the door. From the hostess to the manager to our waiter, Tony treated us like VIPs. We really enjoyed celebrating the year of the snake. Ciel put on an outstanding party!

The restaurant is beautiful, and created for the upper echelon of the city - however what they show online and Instagram is misleading. The show maybe lasts 2 mins at a time (?) with longer breaks. Be mindful with larger parties because the seating is not made for it. Last but not least…. Watch. Your. Tab…..enjoy Houston!
