This is the second time I have dined here and it was amazing. The service is top notch. Our guy new the menu and his recommendations were spot on. What I particularly like is that you can be seated after 10PM, which in Houston, is difficult, with fine dining restaurants. Also, I am assuming because of the late seating, we did not have to listen to the piano music and could hear ourselves talk.
