    My main complaint is when we were seated there were a bunch of empty tables on one side & mostly occupied tables on the other. This is a area where you're basically sitting next to the people at the next table. When we were led to the area that was more crowded we told the hostess we preferred the other area. We like personal space when eating out & that's why we objected to that area. The service was ok. I just got the feeling our server focused more on larger parties & tables that ordered more. I understand they want to focus more on them because of a bigger tip, however, I also feel everyone should be treated the same.

    First of all, we want to make a shout out to Prieto who took care of us all night and made our dining experience extra special. We all had a different pasta dish that were delicious. Lastly and a major reason we frequent Zanti’s is to hear the smooth guitar strumming maestro with the golden voice, Ramon.

    I was so happy that I stumbled upon an article that listed them as one of the top places to have tea in Houston. Whenever I go out of town I try to find a place where I can have tea service and this did not disappoint. It is probably in my top two favorite places I’ve ever gone for tea. I will definitely come back for tea during a future visit and also plan to come there for dinner as well as the food smelled wonderful. It is beautifully decorated. The staff were very accommodating and offered to put our luggage in their office as we were flying out directly after tea Service. I can’t say enough about the service, the ambience and the food and drinks.
