    We had our Annual Family Christmas Dinner at LA Colonial after a show downtown. The food was amazing - great menu, great wine/cocktail menu and the service was very good. The restaurant is very beautiful- it was a busy evening and I'm hoping to go back at a less busy time to really enjoy the ambiance. Our family loved the experience!

    Excellent service. The food was cooked perfectly however the flavor of the pistachio crusted sea bass wasn’t to my taste, but was just my personal preference. The lobster bisque was amazing. The sommelier was engaging and entertaining and was completely knowledgeable of everything, food and wine.

    Spectacular AS ALWAYS at Chama. I worked as a Fed and lived and worked in our embassies in South America Have been in every country in S.A. and I developed a love for churrasquerias from Brasilia, to Rio, La Paz, Cochabamba, Bogota, Quito, B.A., you name it and my favorite of all was Antofagasta. That said, once back in Houston I initially raced to a competitor (Fogo) many years ago. The quality there in the early years was excellent but became progressively worse…particularly server attitude and food quality. It added up to, at best, maybe a three. After my last trip to Fogo, I swore I wouldn’t return to their 66 destinations in the U.S. And so for Chama Gaucho, I ate there tonight….third time in a month. Ten star food, ten star service: Extraordinary salad bar with UNLIMITED shrimp and salmon…(want more? You can get many more helpings) and the endless meat servers arrive at your table along with the endless question: “ Clean plate sir?” You will SATISFIED & thankful that your meal and environment was: Well worth the price. Eat there tomorrow and you will thank me later.

    Chef Giancarlo and his beautiful wife Lisa have created a neighborhood gem where one feels like family instead of unknown diner. The Profumata salad is as delicious as it is pretty, the "Roman-style" lamb chops flavor to die for, pastas and risottos perfect, and last night's special Dover Sole was ethereal. The waitstaff are friendly and knowledgable and make the dining experience warm and inviting. Always such a pleasure coming here!
