This restaurant was participating in Houston restaurants week so I decided to give them a try and was very disappointed with both the service and the food.
We came in on Tuesday evening, it wasn't very busy, but service was so slow. It took a while for a server to come out and we had to ask on three separate occasions for bread, which didn't come out until our entrées came out.
And the bread was bad, very dry and the flavor was not great.
For Appetizers, I got the calamari and my friend ordered the cauliflower. The calamari was OK. Pieces were a bit small and overcooked, but it wasn't terrible. The pomegranates added a nice kick of freshness to the dish.
As for the cauliflower, it was OK nothing crazy. I found the black olives and Parmesan to be a bit of a weird add to the dish. It just didn't make the dish look appetizing to be honest with you.
To drink, I got the spicy mango margarita which was very watered down. The mango taste was very slight, and the jalapeño seeds kept getting stuck in my straw. It wasn't that great of a drink.
For entrées, we both ordered the lamb chops which came with truffle risotto, and asparagus. When our plates came out, you can immediately see the difference in quality. My plate looked bad, fatty, not seared. My friend's plate looked beautiful, way better than mine. And we both asked for them to be cooked the same way.
The lamb was good, but not great. The asparagus was good but the risotto was not it. When you take the first bite, you get hit with an intense truffle taste, but as you keep eating the risotto, the flavor disappears, very bland. The risotto wasn't creamy either, it was dry. I think they only drizzled the truffle on top of the risotto so that's why the first bite was so intense with truffle flavor.
For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée and the Pazooki, both items were BURNT, VERY BURNT!!! I don't know how the chef looked at these items and said it was OK to send out.
Overall, for the service and food quality, I was not impressed nor would I recommend my friends to come eat here.
Also they charge a liquor tax? Not worth it for the drinks in my opinion
