    Great chief and server. Host stand and seating (with reservations)very unorganized. Folks without reservations allowed to sit before people with reservations. Not a deal breaking-never to return experience however, my family and I will choose a different date /time if we ever return to this location. Food just okay. My pallet has to adjust to Houston’s way of cooking and seasoning of food.

    Horrible experience on Saturday night. After having made a reservation it still took an hour to ger a table. We finally were seated but then nobody came to take an order. Seeing that lots of tables that were seated way before us still didnt have food we decided to leave. So 1,5 hours after our reservation we had to walk out without any food…. It is a recurring oroblem I read afterwards on all the reviews. There were a lot of unhappy customers. All the negative reviews are answered with a standard reply. No need to reply with the standard answer to this review, just adjust your system.
