    Everything done right. Great oyster selection and quality. Fantastic shrimp cocktail. Crab cake was excellent. Octopus and Tuscan Kale also delicious. Service was responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly. One of the best seafood places from the standpoint of both food and ambience in a loaded category in our city.

    Great food. I’m surprised at how good the food tastes relative to the reasonable prices. Most places overcharge when within a nice hotel.

    Food was really good ; the lobster and volcano roll may have been some of the best sushi options I ever had had Spence being in Houston. A lot busier on Valentine’s Day but none the less we had a great time.

    The hostess greeted us warmly & promptly seated us at the table of our choice. Ambiance is warm, welcoming, with many areas of the restaurant that can accommodate privacy or larger groups. Our server team was amazing, very attentive & knowledgeable. The food was amazing, served in a perfect timing & temperature. Flavors were bursting with the freshness of ingredients & ingeniously crafted to blend together. I would definitely recommend this place for a quiet date night or an evening with a larger group of family & friends.
