Best Live Music Restaurants in Washington Avenue Coalition / Memorial Park

This is the second time I have dined here and it was amazing. The service is top notch. Our guy new the menu and his recommendations were spot on. What I particularly like is that you can be seated after 10PM, which in Houston, is difficult, with fine dining restaurants. Also, I am assuming because of the late seating, we did not have to listen to the piano music and could hear ourselves talk.

We had the beautiful corner banquet last night for my husband's birthday, it is truly the best seat in the house. The jazz band above on the balcony was fabulous. There were four of us and I was excited to introduce them to this lovely spot. The service is perfect and so welcoming. The steaks are delicious and the little potato crispy "balls" are yummy. Extensive wine list-note that the first part of the wine book has the "Collection", the last two pages have wines by the glass, and just before the last two pages are the "normal" bottles of wine! The sommelier was happy to explain this to me as I searched for a favorite Rhone wine. This is a "special occasion" spot, but you could visit and experience the fun just by being in the lively bar and lounge area.

This is one of Houston’s best restaurants. Very good steak and arguably even better pastas. The Rigatoni in Vodka sauce is better than Carbone’s and their Lobster fra diavolo is stunningly good. Their Italian favorites like Veal Parm and Veal Milanese are also remarkable. The atmosphere and live piano music is the frosting on the cake. It’s a updated version Gene and Georgetti (Chicago).

Amazing like always , the food is so good, the staff are great . I love quiet restaurants like Flora because I like to enjoy my food and talk with my family. I really recommend this restaurant. I would like to thanks to Enrique the manager that made my daughter have a wonderful birthday today.

We had a wonderful time at Buena Vista Cuban Cafe. The food was delicious. The music was fabulous. We think we will put it into our regular rotation of fun restaurants to visit. Bravo!
