   The environment and staff balanced out the disappointment experienced from the lack in originality and flavors in each dish. Hopefully it can be chalked up to the fact that we visited on a Tuesday. Still not acceptable but that’s my guess. We ordered the deviled eggs that were not balanced in flavor. The texture and level of “doneness” was spot on but the horseradish mixed into the yolk was extremely overpowering. So much that it even took away from the fresh dill garnish. I actually enjoy horseradish in and on many of my dishes but this was a 9/10 overpowering the enjoyment of the dish. The octopus was presented well and had some decent variation in flavors during each bite but it was not something to write home about. The baked oysters appeared appetizing. A good amount of breadcrumbs, garlic and cheese. The oysters did not have any small bits of broken shell mixed in which is always a plus but the flavor was slightly more fishy than great comparable dishes we have ordered from other quality restaurants. The sides ordered were ok. The fried eggplant did have a unique and enjoyable flavor/crunch experience. I would order again. The mashed potato’s lack in texture much like baby food. Flavors are ok but nothing special. The veal schnitzel was a very large portion, and the sauces were very flavorful and enjoyable. Presentation on the other hand could use some extra thought. The Wagyu strip was cooked to perfection and served on a hot plate. This is both good and bad. By the time I got half way through my meal the remaining steak was over cooked from medium rare to medium well. The marbling or lack there of did not appear to be that of other wagyu cuts. It looked like another strip steak. The flavor and bark of the steak was on point with most other quality restaurants. Take my input with a grain of salt that some of the dishes could have used. Everyone’s palate varies. Good luck finding that all around experience. We do have several in Houston.

   Baguette, onion soup, red fish, cacio e pepi, pommes agilot were all very good. Salad Maison had too much dressing. Sea bass was not good.

   Great ambiance and service. The menu was very unique and gave me NOLA vibes, but it wasn’t very big. Despite that, everything we ordered was unique and tasty.

   Nick was fantastic!!! Will definitely request him again. All staff is great. Just wish there were more than three scallops per dish. Felt more like an appetizer than entree
