What a great restaurant! When we walked in we were floored by how gorgeous the inside was. Very elegant and modern without feeling like it was too upscale. The hostesses was very nice and sat us close to the bar so we could take advantage of the happy hour specials. $7 -$8 drinks that were fantastic, $1 Gulf Coast oysters and $1.25 East Coast oysters, and a $30 14oz steak special that included fries.
The service: literally top notch. So friendly and quick and everything you could want it to be.
Atmosphere: like I said, gorgeous place.
Food: okay, so the only critique I have is that the steak came out a bit overcooked than we asked for (we asked for med-rare and it was pretty much med-well). The steak tasted very good especially with the garlic butter and chimicuri, and even being med well was still quite tender. The shrimp ceviche- maybe it just wasn't what we should have ordered and other people would like it, but the the shimp were whole, the onions were sliced thin but long strips, and it was very juicy (like a bowl of juice) and served with plantains. Everything tasted good, just awkward to eat cause we had to cut up the shrimp.
Drinks: really good.
Highly recommend, can't wait to go back.
The place was nice and the waiter was wonderful. Unfortunately, I was not able to eat because the order had pork in it when I specifically said no bacon. They said they would replate it but the pork has already touched my food. The next option was to remake it and it would take too long so I just went without food. The waiter was very apologetic and kind given the situation. I ordered the duck.
Such a nice place with great food I did like the salad and my main course also the dessert was so delicious the service was amazing and the stuff were friendly
Great place for dating , business lunch, family gathering .
Will come back again for sure !
This was such a great experience! The restaurant has a wonderful up-scale atmosphere with excellent service from the moment you walk in! Everyone was super friendly; all of the food was prepared with great detail and the flavors were incredible! They have great deals like a happy hour with a excellent pricing on oysters, drinks, and much more! Check out their menu for more information. You’ll want to make this a frequent stop on your Houston food adventures!
Our favorite place for happy hour oyster. $1 gulf and $1.25 east coast. Best price in Houston. It’s all day Tue,Wed & Sun. And don’t forget the wagyu burger which is amazingly delicious.
I want to rate this place 5 stars but the forced valet parking really ruins the initial guest experience. If you’re forcing your guests to valet, incorporate the cost of this service into the operational costs of the restaurant and increase the prices. It’s a zero value add to me as a customer. Food and service was excellent though.
The Lamb trio was excellent! As was the surf and turf. The gougeres were not very cheesy. The escargot were not very garlicky and the ceviche had a strong citrus flavor bot no heat. The service was great

To get the full experience of the entire food menu plan your visit during dinner. They have a happy hour menu with a very limited selection of French fusion with Ecuadorian.
Our Server was "kind enough" to let us order from the full menu. I requested to change an alcoholic beverage I didn't like and the waiter replied he'd have to charge me for another drink (that was unaccommodating and a bit rude) I guess you better like it or be ready to pony up because they don't accommodate)
Now the positive:
The place is beautifully decorated, with warm lighting and great music (no live music but still had good music playing). The food and drinks had a very nice presentation. The Beef empanadas were a great option so we're the oysters. The steak and fries were good but the ravioli was ok. So next time you're in the heart of the Heights, stop by and taste for yourself.
You can taste the love and passion the chefs put into their food! It was delicious accompanied with exceptional service. I will return shortly!
Beautiful decor, gorgeous chandeliers, elegant seating and art for food. The service was super attentive adding to the charm and lovely experience. Highly recommend.
