   This place was really cool. We had a great view of the cars while we ate. The food was excellent. We ordered the waygu burger, brisket grilled cheese, and breakfast tacos. I had the Chrome drink, it's pink, sweet, and quite good. After we ate we went down and toured the cars. My husband and son loved this the most. It's a nice experience for those that love good food and cars. And the service was outstanding as well. Everyone we encountered was great.

   I think due to people over hyping it on Tik Tok I had diff expectations for it , and was disappointed that we aren’t able to see the cars without a membership. Or access to what they had to offer without a membership. But our server was great, and the host were sweet. I enjoyed my pasta. My boyfriend didn’t really like the fish from his fish and shrimp. Said it was too greasy. All in all, don’t expect too much hype if you don’t have a membership.

   Horrible service and food. Rather than do better, they discounted the bill. Not just for us but most of the tables. Ultimately, it should've all been comped. They ran out of 3 of the 5 orders requested, and we even had to get our own water. Food finally came out after over an hour wait time. It seems they prioritized a private party leaving regular tables with subpar service. They really need to do better. It was highly disappointing.

   My son really loves cars so I thought this place would be perfect for his birthday. I was completely let down. The server was nice at first but he was bartending and waiting tables. He clearly had too much on his plate and it showed with the service. We told him 3 times my mom did not want shrimp on her plate and the plate came with shrimp on it. If she had an allergy to shrimp this would have been a huge problem! He said it’s too late to fix it now so here’s 20% off your next visit! Completely unprofessional! I told him it was my son’s birthday so they can bring a cake for him at the beginning. Another server brought the cake and said to my son “oh it’s your birthday I should have put a candle oh well yall can sing happy birthday.” Completely blew it off. I won’t recommend this place.

   This was a new place my husband and I found on tiktok, so we wanted to try it. Overall we loved it. Ambience was nice, staff was very professional. Food was very good, and getting to do the car tour was awesome. I had the grilled salmon, it was great, the only thing I would say is a little heavy on the seasoning on the dirty rice. Overall we would definitely visit and recommend this place.

   I surprised my boyfriend by taking him to this establishment since he's a huge car enthusiast. From the moment we walked into the building we were greeted with the staff members. We dined upstairs and the food was delicious and the drinks were great!! The car tour was a nice way to end our date. I recommend going to this place for any occasion. You won't be disappointed!

   Really enjoyed this experience that was basically a two for one. The views were amazing! The service was really great but the food slightly missed the mark. I would definitely go again and check out something else on the menu.

   The location and atmosphere of this place are undeniably beautiful, but unfortunately, the food and service left a lot to be desired. I ordered the Wagyu burger, and it was overcooked and lacked the quality I expected. On top of that, the wait time was ridiculous — we waited over an hour for our food to come out! At that rate, I could have driven to Katy and back and still been waiting. While the ambiance is stunning, the staff and kitchen team seriously need improvement. A place with such a great setting deserves a much better dining experience.

   The service was horrible. We waited almost ten minutes after being seated before I advised someone we have not been waited on. The drinks were horrible taste like cheap liquor. The food was mediocre and not worth the price

    If you love cars and an intimate, chill vibe… this is the place to go. I ordered the bacon and wings as an appetizer that my boyfriend and I LOVED. Our entree’s consisted of the lamb ragú and fish and chips which were both really good (even better the second day). The portions were nice and filling. Would definitely recommend for the view and food!
