Excellent restaurant. 5/5 in all areas. Had the Miso Salmon and it was some of the best tasting Salmon I’ve had in a long time. My guest enjoyed their meal as well. Staff is very friendly and everything was served in a timely manner. Best dining experience I’ve had in Houston so far.

I love that the menu is seasonal. I had an appetizer (garden salad with caramelized anchovy dressing, pickled cauliflower and wafer-thin croutons) and the parisian gnocchi lardons with squash veloute with a lovely sparkling wine. The service was impeccable, and it was surprisingly quiet, given that the restaurant was mostly full for lunch. Beautiful decor and ambiance, would be perfect for entertaining out of town guests or for a special occasion. I hope to go back to enjoy other seasonal menu creations.
