   When they say outside, they mean outside. We were the only people out there and there were several open tables inside. Service was incredibly slow and our first waiter (victor) left because we were his only table and he didn’t want to make $2.13 an hour (per our second server). Right as our food was served, we were approached by a pan handler girl and the waiter did nothing about it. She asked us to give her money for her basketball team and we refused and the waiter remained silent. She stayed for several minutes. My husbands fish was super dry and my squid ink pasta was so salty i couldn’t eat it. We had almost full plates and it was never questioned or mentioned. $500 plus to sit outside and have a panhandler and slow service and inedible food? Wow!

   First ever restaurant review! We were seated an hour and fifteen minutes after our reservation time. The inside seating on the outskirts of the restaurant isn’t as beautiful as the tables they advertised (we waited for nothing imo). Food wasn’t terrible ( recommend the beet salad), but otherwise, service was slow and for the price point, there are better options in Houston. We watched as someone dropped a tray and it wasn’t cleaned until 30 min later (patrons walked in spilled food unknowingly). The risotto and sauce on the ossobuco was great, but the veal itself was overcooked and hurt to chew. Overall, don’t make this your birthday meal :(

   This place has the worst ambience of any upscale restaurant I have ever been to. Food was absolutely delicious, but there were screaming, shrieking women in their mid 40s and 50s all over the bar and the bar is in the center so there is no getting away from the aging drunks.

   Outstanding server, Ben. Very knowledgeable, calm, attentive but not overbearing. Food was great. Pulpo was spectacular. Panacotta was too. Good price on wines. I am ready to return. Was there for late lunch which I would recommend.

   Caught off guard by the fee for using a credit card.

    Wonderful food and fabulous service. The prosciutto and arugula flatbread was beyond amazing with freshly sliced prosciutto along with the pastry tray…
