    Costa Brava is consistently excellent. Really enjoyed the duck, snapper, & the apple tart is the best in town.

    We have been at this restaurant many times and have never been disappointed. The wine dinner we went to last night was outstanding in both food and Wine and Service.

    I consider this one of the best restaurants in Houston. The food is excellent. The ingredients that are utilized are the best and the cooking is superb, the service and details are remarkable. We have been coming to this restaurant for years and the quality is consistent.We have tried every entree and appetizer and it’s always excellent. This last visit I had the paella which is the national dish of Spain, so if you visit Spain, it’s a common dish and most restaurants have their version, however, to do it correctly, it’s very difficult and most restaurants don’t get it right. Last night was one of the best paellas I’ve ever had. This is Spanish haut cuisine. I believe this restaurant deserves a Michelin star.

    Outstanding meal! We had the snapper cakes apetizer and bowls of gazpacho, then for entree we had the venison loin with chocolate sauce and the snapper topped with crab and buerre blanc sauce. Chocolate bread pudding for dessert. Everything was special from the service to the food as always!

    The dinner was worth the drive from Alvin. We enjoyed the Paella-it was delicious. The chicken and beef were tender, just a little hint of spice. Good selection of wines by the glass. Wonderful birthday dinner!
