    Our server, Maurice, was excellent. I appreciated the cadence with which he checked in on our table but, more importantly, his recommendations were outstanding. I do not think we would have ever considered the octopus but he was right by describing it as the best in the city. Otherwise, our table had a steak special, two different pizzas and the Vingole pasta. Besides the four cheese pizza not listing the hot honey on the menu, we all loved our meals, including the sweet panna cotta for my birthday.

    The food is excellent. Keep in mind that Thai spice is very hot compared to what I'm used to. The mild spice is very spicy (i love spicy food). I would go for the mild so you can enjoy the food.

    This place was overall a great place to dine in at. This is a great spot to enjoy good food, excellent drinks and nice ambience. As an individual who is not a huge wine drinker, the server was amazing at talking about the different wines and help pick an excellent wine! Will definitely return on my next trip to Houston.
