   Overall disappointing experience. While the price was similar to other fine dining restaurants in Houston the service and food were below standard. The 20% service charge and being asked to other all of your meal at once should be rethought. I would only suggest for cocktails and appetizers.

   La comida no estaba nada buena para su precio he ido otras veces y he ordenado lo mismo y a estado mucho mejor no sé qué pasó esta ves, también nos atendieron de una manera afanada cuando estábamos pidiendo las entradas nos hicieron pedir de una vez el plato fuerte que porque solo iban hacer una orden y no estar viniendo a la mesa

   Needs better music and better food choices. Love the drinks and the service. The old fashion is great.

   My husband & I had a great experience. The music was way too loud, and we couldn’t hear each other talk. But overall everything was great & we will be going back for sure:)

   This is a Hollywood restaurant that landed in Houston and has Hollywood prices. The guacamole was insanely good! The fireworks show that comes with the Agua Fresca shots was amazing! Too bad the watermelon were completely watered down. My enchiladas were OK but at $41, they were more than double market prices. My wife got the New York Strip and it was completely inedible for $80! The birthday desert came with an amazing fireworks show! All the cocktails were delicious but extremely watered down. So basically go for the fireworks and delicious mocktails. We got a lot of great footage for social media but $300 for dinner is about $100 too much for what we gotten for

   Went for the vibes and scene. Birthday brunch. DJ playing house music. Great place for a special occasion. The service could’ve been better. We were only a table of 4 and our water was never filled. Birthday brownie with candles brought out though.

   Love this place, you feel you are in NYC. Love the decor, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Great upbeat music but still we could carry a conversation.

   I made a reservation and had a short wait, but it was well worth it. We drove all the way from Katy, TX, and really enjoyed the experience. The live music was a nice touch, though I’d love to see the performer bring a bit more energy. It reminded me of Rosa Negra in Cancun—not quite at that level yet, but you’re definitely heading in the right direction. Expanding to the Katy area would be a smart move—that’s where the real money is!

    Dining experience was good, but the valet is horrendous!
