   Overall, the restaurant is very good — great food and atmosphere. However, the parking service is disappointing: it’s very expensive, poorly managed, and not worth the price. Unfortunately, they take advantage of being the only parking option close to the place.

   This place is very nice inside!! Loved the vibe! The food was good also. The Drinkssss was on point and hit when i left lol.. I didn’t like they charged me $25 to allow me to cut or eat my Cake. (Every restaurant services dessert, so that’s crazy). Also valet parking only downtown in front of the building it’s $20. They add a small $ “Entertainment fee” like NiceGuyNola do in NO on every ticket. Overall it was nice and real cute so I’ll go back.

   Awful restaurant. The oysters Rockefeller were over cooked and dried out. Not edible. The service was so slow. It took over 30 minutes to get our first drink. We looked over and there were 7 employees just hanging out at the bar. Do not eat here!

   I had the most horrible experience at this restaurant from the service the server and especially the absentee management . This was by far the worst restaurant in Houston. Nothing was A1 except for the accommodations that the host made for me by reseating my party. Truly dropped the ball. I never got offered a cocktail from the waitress she never brought the food out my friend was charged for a $10 for a Coca Cola my friend was charged $50 for a glass of wine the waiter never came back to the table once the food was done being ate asked for blue cheese dressing got Cesar. Asked for pepper never got it asked for my waiter she showed 45 minutes later with a cake asked for the manager they stated she had left for the night no one could find her. Got checked in 8:05pm didn’t get the check until 11:25pm waiter got so frustrated she left then went outside to blow off some steam and no one not even a team member offered to help this poor waiter. This was a nightmare

   The ambiance was absolutely fantastic, no doubt about it. The service was great, and the professionalism was top-notch. However, the timing was a bit of a mess. We arrived later than our scheduled time, but we were still accommodated after a brief self-seating at the bar (and the place wasn’t even full). At the bar I waited alone amongst 5 strangers for almost 10 min before anyone asked if I wanted water or anything. Once seated, we had some time to look over the menu, but it took about 20 minutes before we received any further attention. The waiter noticed our frustration and, as a gesture, treated us to shots for my birthday. When we finally placed our order, the salads came out promptly. However, when the main dishes arrived, there was an issue: we received duplicate orders of the same salads, along with food that wasn’t even ours. All in all, we spent 2 and a half hours there and waiting was the bulk of our experience. Again the ambiance was AMAZING! We willl come again but definetly just to sit at the bar for drinks if we even are asked if we want a drink.

    We had an awful experience! I flew in town as a content creator to do a review on this place. It was only two parties there. We order drinks which took over 30 minutes to come. All the workers was at the bar taking shots. Playing on the phone. We didn’t receive most of our food, majority of the party ordered lamb chops, the waiter just started passing them out without asking what temperature belonged to who. Never received any sides. The place is too nice to have horrible service. The best thing is the photographer.
