    It's rare that I would post top ratings across the board, but this establishment earns it! We went early (6pm) to catch dinner before a show downtown. The food was amazing! Our waitress was super friendly and on top of her game. I made a request for the bar which some places would be frustrated with, but instead they made us amazing drinks and genuinely cared about our experience. Can't wait to try SAT/SUN brunch!

    This was our first trip to B&B, so we tried as much as we could. The 4 appetizers were some of the best that Houston has to offer! The crab cake was nearly 100% meat with almost no filler & was really mild. The cheese covered pork belly was better than any I've tried. Excellent tuna tartar & their calamari was atleast in the top 3 that we've had. For our main entrees, my wife had the wasabi crusted ahi tuna & it was really fresh. I had the prime rib. The prime was seasoned really well but not as tender as I was expecting. Over all, the food & service were excellent & we are looking forward to trying some different main entrees next time around.

    Loved the concept, drinks were very good, chocolates quality was excellent! I would like to have the chocolates compliment the drink flavor, rather than be same flavor of drink or same liquor inside the chocolate. The redundancy was overpowering on some flavors, and fatiguing on others. I think if it were more like a food/wine pairing instead of the repeated flavors, this experience would be phenomenal! I still enjoyed it, but would prefer more traditional, complementary flavors. I did buy some of the chocolates (banana foster, etc.) and those were TRULY EXCELLENT! So maybe just rethink what is being paired together.
