Really loved the different approach to Houston Fine Food. We’re not fans of all the rich sauces that Houston tends to thrive on and smother the key ingredients with - TMC focuses more on accentuating the core flavors, which we really liked, a lot!

My daughter and I dined here for thanksgiving dinner and the food was so good . When it was time to pay , the waitress said someone had taken care of our tab and it was such a beautiful gesture especially because her and I spent the day alone . If the person who picked up our tab sees this : thank you so much ❤️
