Absolute standout for Italian food in Houston. Italian American with great service and a modern touch. Could easily be compete with New York Italian. Wine list very well priced and well curated. Highlights were the sweetbreads, tuna N’duja, chicken parm, and dry aged steak either crispy potatoes. But honestly every dish was an absolute hit. Not one lackluster plate.

Le Jardinier fully deserves its new Michelin star. Our group of four had lunch after a museum visit. Everything from the ambience to the food to the service was spectacular. My squid ink shellfish ravioli was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted anywhere in the world, and our most carnivorous diner pronounced the Wagyu burger “the best piece of meat I’ve ever had.” Bravi to everyone at Le Jardinier!
