I had dinner with a friend on a Friday night. I highly recommend getting in early. We got there a 6:00 pm and before we knew it, the restaurant was full of activity. The restaurant is located on the 1st floor of the Le Méridien Houston Downtown with floor to ceiling windows. The accent wall is full of vibrant color and was created by a local artist.
The cuisine is colorful with robust flavors. I would highly recommend selecting a few items to share from 1,2 and 3. These are smaller portions that are easy to share. For my entrée, I selected the Aged Strip with Chorizo Rice and added shrimp. It was simple perfection. The desserts are decadent, and again, I recommend selecting a couple to share.
Great higher end lunch spot for those Fridays. The food is unique and will be coming back to try their other options. One thing to note is that the lunch menu seems to be different than their dinner menu. The lunch menu entrees are serving more lunch orientated food like sandwiches, burgers, but does have the gumbo (no pork chop or stuffed quail as I was hoping). The service is great as well with a very personable waiter that checked on us and was prompt with refills and the check. I will come back again to try their dinner selections.
The place is located within minutes of accessible parking, the symphony hall and many other great locations for downtown Houston. The drinks were delicious, the staff was super friendly and the food was out quickly. A group of us shared the cornbread which was delicious and then we decided to order their dip that had ghost pepper caviar. That itself was just ok. I had the country fried pork chop which was decent. The desert we had was about average as well. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is pretty laid back. I'd go back for some drinks to catch up with friends if we just happened to be around the area.
