    One of my favorite dining experiences in Houston! Service was great, everything was timed perfectly. Food was fabulous. Highly recommend the octopus, hamachi crudo, filet, and Denver cut steak. Desserts were also delicious and inventive. Not a single thing we didn’t love! Can’t wait to return soon!

    I can’t speak about the value, because it is more than just the cost of the food. You have to consider the decor, the quality of staff training etc. - Tristen was great. The kitchen was moving slow, but I chalk that up to the politics of the day. The octopus was excellent. We used our bread to sop up ALL of the beure blanc sauce on the prawn dish. The Lamb Chops lamb chopped!! A definite go.

    Small, rocky tables. Server didn’t know what was in the Valentine’s Day specials or normal menu options. Silverware and tables felt cheap for how expensive the menu is. Had paper towel napkins. The menu implies elevated experience and food, but the service and ambience did not match. Noticed heat lamps in the kitchen for keeping food warm? Not sure if that should be present at an upscale restaurant. We left after our drinks and appetizers due to disappointment. Octopus was cooked well but served with what tasted like just spicy mayo. Mushroom ragout was good. Blue cheese olives delicious with martini. Missed the mark for us.

    Food and service was amazing! Same group as Doris Meteopolitan and Hamza. The bread, octopus, and eggplant were stand out dishes. Will definitely be back. Only other feedback I have would be that the 2 person tables are a little on the smaller side so it makes fitting all the dishes and drinks on the table a little challenging

    Everything was okay but nothing stood out. Service was not great. Had to repeat order several times, they charged us the wrong bill, spilled water and it felt like they didn’t care. Too expensive for what it was.

    Food is absolute delicious! We ordered eggplant carpaccio, bread with pistachio butter and Robata grilled fish and pistachio 4 way dessert . All came out very well balanced and perfectly spiced. The only thing I do not like is the noise level, to the point where we have to sit very close to be heard. For the decor and price tag, we were expecting a more classic and conversation conducive ambience.

    Unfortunately, I was super disappointed to see the tuna tartare and Chilean Seabass removed from the menu. I have been telling everybody I know how delicious both of these dishes are, so it was very disappointing to see them removed from the menu. Those were two of the stars on the menu! We ended up just having a drink and did not stay for our dinner reservation.
