    This is the second time I have dined here and it was amazing. The service is top notch. Our guy new the menu and his recommendations were spot on. What I particularly like is that you can be seated after 10PM, which in Houston, is difficult, with fine dining restaurants. Also, I am assuming because of the late seating, we did not have to listen to the piano music and could hear ourselves talk.

    I never write reviews (just function of being old!) but I just had to write this one. When I made the reservation, I noted that it was our 45 year wedding anniversary and asked if they could do something special. I expected maybe a rose or a dessert so imagine my surprise when we were escorted into a private room. There were rose petals galore on the table, a card, a 45 large numbers and soft music playing! Service was excellent, staff came by to congratulate us and food was superb. Thank you, Tris, for an incredible experience. You have earned our gratitude and our future business. Definitely our “ go-to” dining venue going forward. We are lucky to have such a great restaurant in The Woodlands!
