Our server was very helpful and reviewed all the different types of food. He also brought me a taste of two different wines so I could choose the one I liked best. We never felt rushed and we were able to talk with our friends even when the dining room was full. That is rare in most Houston restaurants. Everyone enjoyed our drinks and food, including the carefully packed leftovers.

Menu is well curated and highlights a region in the Mediterranean and each dish has a story. The food is impeccable. The evening starts in the lounge with a welcome snack. The dining area is smallish with open view of the kitchen Overall very worth it. Well deserved star. Will return again.

We were celebrating three best friends birthdays!! Our waiter immediately brought each of us a complementary glass of champagne. That was a nice touch to start our evening! We were not rushed, which I appreciated. The only negative was!You have to order everything at once but our waiter Charles was wonderful and worked with us. It’s definitely a fun people watching place. The food and cocktails were fabulous. I had an old fashion cocktail. It was very good. We had lobster escargot! Yum!! Spicy cauliflower was a hit! Steak tar tar and an artichoke appetizer. Also we had a spicy Caesar salad, which I would have again if you go don’t miss out on the lobster escargot or the cauliflower. I would go again.

We always love coming here and love to see the restaurant being celebrated. I love the changes they've done to the menu design. Beautiful ambiance, great staff and really solid food.
