Mosset Grille and Wine Bar is located just off 59 on the Southwest Freeway in Sugar Creek. It's a convenient place to stop at on your way home if you live in Sugar Land, but is also well worth the drive if you don't. I found this out first-hand and let me just say - I am so happy I did! Not only is the food exceptional, but the wine knowledge here is on another level. I just found out about their Sunday Brunch - guess where I will be this weekend!
As you walk into the restaurant, you are immediately greeted by a smiling face. After a long day that was just what I needed!
The restaurant displays bright, beautiful artwork and the bold designs add to the wonderful atmosphere. A quick look around and you can't help but notice the grapes, wine bottles, and wine glasses - leaving no doubt that this is a fine dining wine bar. The décor got us into the mood, so we made a beeline to the bar for some serious wine tasting.
We chose a few apps to enjoy with our wines. First, we ordered the Cheese Plate: a selection of Smoked Gouda, Gruyere, Five-Year-Aged Sharp Cheddar, Brie, and Micela Bleu served with a grape-tomato compote and a cinnamon stick. My favorite was the Micela Bleu, of course, but every cheese added a wonderful accent to the delightful 2013 La Crema Pinot Noir from the vineyards of the Sonoma Coast that we were enjoying. Another stand-out was the Rombauer Zinfandel 2013 from the Sierra Foothills of California. This classic California Zinfandel is a deep purple-red, with a bright, youthful red hue in which flavors of ripe cherry and vanilla converge toward blackberry and spice.
Next, we sampled the Pork Lollipop Bites and Crab Cakes. Both were incredible and I began to wonder if I really wanted to sit down at a table. We were thoroughly enjoying the interesting conversation and all the information we were getting at the bar - not to mention the wonderful tapas. It doesn't get any better than this!
The Pork Lollipop Bites were served with roasted potatoes, caramelized onions and bacon and came served with a dressing of Chipotle BBQ Sauce. Each bite was better than the last! The roasted potatoes were what brought the whole dish together. This is something you NEED to try.
And then, the crab cakes, always one of my favorites: delectable, pan-seared, jumbo lump crab cake with a Sage Bianco sauce and mango salsa. Delicious!
We all chose a salad that looked very interesting and I am glad we did. The Mosset Salad was a savory mix of Mescaline lettuce, sliced apples, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted pistachios served with a tasty Raspberry Vinaigrette. A delicious bundle of flavors that went beautifully with each new wine we tasted.
Now, for the entrees! We decided on the Grilled Entranas Argentinas, Lobster Ravioli and the Blackened Mahi-Mahi. My favorite was the Grilled Entranas Argentinas, but all were wonderful in their own right. I highly recommend you give them all a try if you have a chance to enjoy dinner in the family style like we did.
The Grilled Entranas Argentinas was a tender skirt steak marinated in citrus vinaigrette, topped with Chimichurri Sauce and served with Golden Herb Fries. The herb fries were a nice touch - you got your basic meat and potatoes. But the Chimichurri sauce atop the perfectly prepared skirt steak is what made this my favorite dish of the three.
The Lobster Ravioli was tossed in a Lobster Nage and wilted Julienne Vegetable Medley. The Blackened Mahi-Mahi was served with Yukon Gold Potato Puree, Mango Pico and Sautéed Green Beans. I suggest the Blackened Mahi if you are looking for a seafood dish - just take a look at the photography! Need I say more?
Now, you know I can't finish a meal without dessert. So, we asked the chef to serve up a couple of his finest. He decided on the Crème Catalana (a type of crème brulée) and the Seven-Layer Chocolate Cake topped with Chocolate Ganache.
The Crème Catalana custard, flavored with Tahitian vanilla beans, was topped with super-fresh raspberries and blueberries. The custard was creamy and sweet. Unbelievable!
And the Seven-Layer Chocolate Cake left me speechless. I must admit I am a sucker for chocolate and this cake was something special! I suggest you get together with some friends and enjoy this delicious cake along with a couple glasses of wine - that is how you build memories!
The evening was amazing. To me nothing is better than great wine paired with wonderful cuisine. Oops, did I say that backwards? Ha! Well, at Mosset Grille and Wine Bar you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Both worlds are places I don't just want to visit - I want to live there! Well, if only for a night, we can. I tip my hat to the chef and the rest of the team for giving us a truly remarkable experience.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this place . The service was excellent and most important of all the food was awesome . The chicken empanadas are a must try !!!! I loved the grilled shrimp . Will definitely visit again . This time for dinner with live music on the weekend.
After we read about this place in a local magazine, we were intrigued. The owner worked for years as a sous chef at another Houston restaurant, one we often enjoy on special occasions. We visited Mosset in April 2014 as a couple. There was no wait that Friday evening. The ambiance is sophisticated and elegant, with beautiful design and decor. We enjoyed the live music. The food was melt in your mouth scrumptious! We had the Mosset salad, the crab cake with arugula, a special with pork and beef tenderloin and vegetables, and the flourless chocolate cake. Mmm! What a heavenly meal. The staff are professional and attentive, without hovering. We took a friend here in May and enjoyed our second visit. Looking forward to trying the tapas soon. This definitely is our go to place in Sugar Land, and we'll be back again and again.
Food was very good. Our water glasses were never empty. Very good wine selection. Our server was less than enthusiastic, but the place is still new. Servers need a little more training-she was reading the special from her notes. Also, when we walked in she was standing at the hostess table taking a big gulp from her 44 oz sonic cup. (Not really professional). We will definitely go back.
Good food and drinks. This place had live music and a small dance floor for our favorite song.
My family went there today for Mother's Day. We were all so happy to have found this restaurant. Food was DELICIOUS! Ambiance was nice, romantic/upscale, yet not pretentious. Service was great. We can't wait to try their Happy Hour with friends or a romantic dinner.
WOW! fantastic find. Great restaurant. We were a party of 4 and each ordered 4 different dishes and all 4 were excellent. Cannot believe we have never been here before. We will be regulars from now on. Even the Sangria was out of this world good. The waitstaff was amazing. Reasonable prices. Great atmosphere. Love this place!
Mossett is amazing on Friday's and Saturday's they have live music the food is fantastic also the drinks. I love the atmosphere so relaxing. And the new owner Maria is amazing, she's funny and very friendly. If you want good food and good music go to Mossett.
I found this restaurant on Google Maps while searching for restaurants in my area that I have not yet tried. There were no reviews, but the menu on their website looked good. So, we decided to take a chance on something new.
We arrived around 6:30 pm on Saturday evening, and it appeared we were the first customers for the evening. While we were being seated, I inquired how long they have been open, and the answer was about a month.
The atmosphere and décor were very nice. It is a very nice place for a semi-dressy date. It is not formal, but it's not too casual either.
They have a large selection of reasonably priced wines by the bottle. We had a nice Malbec.
We tried the crab cake and shrimp cocktail appetizers. They were both very good. My wife tried the caprese salad, and I had the Mosset salad. Again, both were very good. My wife had the lobster ravioli, and I had the pan seared flounder. And yes, again, both were very good. For dessert, we had the strawberry short cake and tiramisu. Both desserts were very good, but I think the short cake was better.
The portion size of the food was good. Some people might feel the portions are small, but I think as a society we have gotten used to supersized food. In my opinion, I would rather have smaller portions of good food, instead of large portions of okay food. At the end of the dinner, I felt satisfied with the quantity of the food.
Service was also very good. It was prompt and attentive, but not overbearing.
I plan to eat there again, and I am looking forward to trying their tapas menu at happy hour in the near future.
Overall, I would recommend this restaurant, and I hope they do well.
Went for a Sat night date and had various tapas and the recommended Pinot Noir. Every dish was delightful, with little taste surprises. Excellent service, perfect pacing, not pushy. Will definitely be back.
Nice place for happy hour, girls' night out or date night. Food and service were great. Band was awesome as well. I will be back! A gem.
Was there with my husband and Fater in law lastnight. Had an amazing time. Atmosphere was awesome. Band was G R E A T!! Food is good as well. Thank you Maria...
Delish proper dinner. Service was attentive and food was tasty. We will definitely be back for another date night.
Love this place. Wine selection is fabulous. The director of Operations Marco is great to work with.
Enjoyed the music. Would like a little more selection on appetizers but liked what we had.
Whoah....I had a freaky wild nite at this place with a band and dancing. It gets pretty wild at nite. Food is really good too.
Great place to wine and dine a client and the ambiance is also suitable for a romantic dinner!
