This was our first time at the restaurant. We were headed to the Alley Theatre for a 8 p.m. show. The service was excellent. We ordered the Crab Cake, wine, mushroom risotto and the Duck Confit. It was all excellent. I highly recommend.

We went here for V-Day and it was really busy, we had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated even though we were running 10 minutes late... with that being said our overall experience was great! The Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly! My wife liked the Oysters and the Snapper. This place is great for an event or special occasion but is definitely a femine atmosphere.

Redfish, pork belly, carpaccio, tartar, wine.. all amazing. Food was amazing. Service was even better. Carlos is phenomenal at his job. My fiance and I had an amazing valentines dinner. If you’re in the River oaks Houston area stop by this place for some amazing food and service. Ask for Carlos and enjoy the experience.
