Fun and unique dining experience in Houston. Great for a special occasion or girls night out. Fire cocktails were over rated but still good. Food is great!

After being seated, my wife’s chair got hit by waiters/service workers twice, because they sat us in a high traffic area where restaurant staff walk through constantly. After the second hit to the chair, I requested that can be moved to another area, which they did (high top table), however they sat us right next to the stairs which seemed to be a popular hangout for the workers when taking a break, so every conversation they had, we heard. Also, while sitting at the high top table, my wife’s chair was hit twice by staff because the restaurant is so cramed. To continue, during the hour that we were there, we had around 5 different waiters attending to our service, which lead to them asking us more than twice if we needed something that we already ordered. Lastly, we had reservations at 7pm, and they were still setting up and having a meeting, which the hostess told us. The food was good, especially the steak and shrimp appetizer, but the experience was mediocre at best.

This was our third time coming and the first two times were a pleasant experience but this one was not unfortunately. Our waitress was all over the place and didn’t tend to our table very well. The entertainment was a repeat as before so that was nothing new. They do not support our military personnel. It’s about the all mighty dollar to them. Not about pleasing their customers.

We have been there many times and this time it appears the overall experienced dropped 3 notches. Music was very loud compared to other times, the disc jockey was more untuned with himself and not watching the crowd. Music selection was weak compared to the ambiance.
