   Our food was cold and we waited an hour to get our order, one of the plates wasn’t what we ordered and my husband had to wait another 25 mins to get his plate

   Excellent and fast service. First time there and was very busy. Staff moved people quickly, gently and thoughtfully. I highly recommend.

   Food portions are very small for the price, but the food was delicious. Service was very slow at the pizza bar and I had to flag down the waitress several times.

   The restaurant was nice and expected more when walking in but the service was abnormally slow and the waiter messed up our order.

   Great place to eat during Nike volleyball tourney being connected to GRB. Just a little expensive, however it’s the area in general that brings up the cost

   What a pleasant surprise. Downtown Houston’s secret getaway. Extremely cool, intimate ambiance. Superb cocktails. I had the chicken Marsala and it was amazing. Wait staff service was perfectly timed. Excellent evening that I’d recommend to anyone.

   This is a chain restaurant owned by the Landry group. It's definitely a cut above or more compared to olive garden. Pasta was really good. Sauces tended to be cream based and cheese galore, so a consideration for dairy avoiders . Focaccia was really good. The dessert trio is a must. Good cocktails and good service! Nice space, only slightly noisy so that's a big plus. Overall we enjoyed it and woke recommend it.
