    What a beautiful place for valentine day weekend . The place was beautiful with anazing decor . The host welcomed us with a warm gesture and seated us quickly . The restaurant was very busy and everyone looked and was dressed very professional. Our waiter was very helpful with ordering our dishes . We tried the lobster and corn crab soup for appetizers for starters . Delicious. For our entrees we chose the branzino and seafood pasta and we must say we left the plated empty and ordered a takeout of the seafood pasta . Beautiful restaurant and we had our best valentines dinner ever . Highly recommend

    Our server was very helpful and reviewed all the different types of food. He also brought me a taste of two different wines so I could choose the one I liked best. We never felt rushed and we were able to talk with our friends even when the dining room was full. That is rare in most Houston restaurants. Everyone enjoyed our drinks and food, including the carefully packed leftovers.

    Food and service were outstanding. Everything was cooked to perfection. My only complaint is that our entire party had to use our phone flashlights to read the menu it was so dark in the restaurant .. I am all for ambiance but that's dark!
