Johnathan is an outstanding server. I requested a hot toddy and he made it happen. The octopus is always my favorite. French onion soup was so delicious. Expect a giant burger no matter which one you order. I went for lunch with a friend, we had a great time. Valet service is available. The atmosphere is top notch with the service and flavors to match. The hostess was friendly and welcoming. I love this restaurant lunch or dinner.

The food was amazing everyone cleaned their place. That was good because our waitress didn’t even come back and check on us. The service was slow, not very attentive and cold coffee to end the meal. Not very impressed at these prices!

Food and service were excellent. Kudos to Juan for great service once again. My husband had the burger and I had the salmon crepe. Both meals were well-prepared and well-presented. The profiteroles for dessert were amazing. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Houston.
