    We brought a group of 21 for a friend's Valentine's Day dinner. Warehouse 72 accommodated us impeccably with attentiveness and superior service. We will use them again for our group and individual dinners!

    This is hands down one of my favorite places to eat in Houston! The food is ALWAYS phenomenal and the service and atmosphere is PERFECT. The food is perfection and the wine list is EXTENSIVE! We enjoyed the pre-set menu last night for Valentine's day. The chateaubriand was prepared perfectly - flaky pastry and the tenderloin was delightful! We have spent many special occasions at Cafe Rabelais and look forward to many more. Our family loves it! Yours will too.

    We had a great time at Barbacana with their tasting menu. Food and wine pairings were excellent, service was friendly and sitting at the tasting counter watching them cook and plate was super cool! Favorites were definitely the crab and buttered onion and TX Waygu dishes. We’ll be back, for sure!
