   I actually was quite disappointed in my experience. I heard this place was so hyped on social media. In short the entrees were appetizer portions with entree prices. The food TOOK AN HOUR to come out, half of it was cold. The drinks were just ok. The fire dancer came out only once. The waiter was next to nonexistent. He didn’t check on us at all in between ordering, food arrival & the bill. The food was RIDICULOUSLY priced and the menu was so limited with no variety. I’m not surprised the place was so empty in a Saturday night. I won’t be back… surely not worth the hype.

   It’s MOSTLY for the experience. Lobster wasn’t cooked all the way and it took almost an hour to bring BMT first drink…it was my only drink.

   When I arrived I was seated at a table that was wobbly and servers could not fix nor move us to another table. We ordered lamb chops, mashed potatoes and asparagus. The lamp chips were good but the potatoes wasn’t favorable nor the asparagus. It was truly a disappointment for such a nice looking establishment.

   Nice spot for date night. My wife & I celebrated our anniversary and definitely enjoyed the experience. We felt welcomed from the time we entered until we departed. The whole vibe was right!

   When I got there the valet was across the street in a parking lot (valet should be at the door) Then when I walk in the host is just so rude he doesn’t even greet you! I get seated finally. The waitress doesn’t come by for at least 10 min! I waited on my drink for 30 minutes I waited on my food for a hour and still never received it So I closed out for my drinks Was never apologetic towards the wait Her response was just that the kitchen was backed up! No ma’am that is not acceptable The salad I ordered should have came out 45 min ago along with our appetizer! I will not be going back

   Worst experience at a “fine dining” restaurant ever! Took 15 minutes for someone to come to our order. When they finally came we were informed that of the only 4 main menu dishes and 5 side dish choices, many items were sold out! We finally got our drinks 30 minutes after ordering. Every single food item we ordered was taken to 1-2 wrong tables before it was brought to us COLD. They went back and forth talking over our food as they tried to figure out which table to bring it to. It just wasn’t a great experience at all. I wanted to do something different for my bf bday since we frequent all the other fine dining restaurants in the city and this reminded me why we always stick to what we know. Did I mention that the coasters were thin paper and the booths had holes in them from the hookah I’m assuming. Then the bill came and had over 20% in taxes, mind you the tax rate in Texas is 8.25%. Then it also had an entertainment fee which was weird seeing that we booked there on a Saturday day night anticipating entertainment yet NONE was provided. So just prepare for an additional 37.5% to be added onto whatever you are ordering when you receive your final bill!

    Service was very poor. It was one server for 10 tables. He tried his best but he was just overworked. The food was pricey for the portion sizes and taste. The ambience is great but overall the experience lacked in the most important categories.
