AB's never, ever fails as the quintessential neighborhood gem. Low key, super chill, non-pretentious excellence. It's the perfect vibe and the perfect dining experience. Arturo's always there ensuring everyone is happy, which is nice. The free 'cucharita' of creme brulee when dessert feels like a tad much is a very thoughtful gesture and invariably the ideal way to cap off an outstanding dinner.

First of all, this restaurant is family owned and operated and is not a chain. This was our first visit here. Had dinner with our daughter, SIL, two grandkids, son and our other SIL (8 total). Wife and I were first to arrive; sat at the oven bar (not really a bar but more of a counter). Our server Luis greeted us warmly and presented us with a nice wine list. whilst we waited. Not knowing what we wanted, he brought us several bottles of wine both white and red and allowed us to taste. Being from New Orleans, hospitality is foremost to an exceptional dinner in our opinion. We were made to feel right at home granted to us with the personal service here. With the arrival of our dinner guests we were seated immediately. The staff welcomed the grandkids with open arms allowing them to visit the back of the bar and roll and prepare their own pizzas! Meanwhile, Luis attentively presented the evening specialties. We all ordered the recommended appetizers, enjoyed the flavors of the numerous appetizers and entrees that we ordered...Fried calamari, mussels, etc prepared perfectly with no additional seasoning needed (a rarity here in Houston!). It was a special evening topped off when the owner and chef Arturo stopped by to introduce himself and personally inquire about our experience. After dinner we enjoyed a delicious dessert wine with ice cream and creme brulee served on a spoon! This place reminded us of our European experiences in that we were never rushed during our 3 hour meal. I must admit that I’m not a fbig an of strip center dining but I highly recommend Arturo Boada’s. We will be returning often.
