Line & Lariat

Jasmine She was incredible. Is this spot even considered top 5 downtown Houston??? Because it should be. Love the hotel and bar. Glad we picked this spot and will come back!!

We had no food, but loved that they had depression Era drinks menu currently. I finally settled on the Bees Knees, it was sublime. The place looks amazing, they had a giant leather bound photo album that included a "before" picture. Our bartender was so much fun!

Really yummy food! I stayed here at the hotel for a few nights during a business trip and ordered several different meals throughout my stay. Everything was honestly so delicious. Service was above and beyond. Jennifer was amazing and so funny!

Let me start off by saying that the Line & Lariat is definitely a spot to hit while you are in Houston. Based inside the Historic Hotel Icon as the hotels premier bar and restaurant, I can tell you that the service is amazing and the food and drinks are really good. Jaito and Jennifer take really good care of you at the bar and the restaurant staff are superb as well. Ask them to pull the big book dedicated to the history of the hotel. The experience here definitely made my stay I. Houston worth it: Thank you all for making my trip special. Mia

I stay at the Hotel Icon every year now for over 2 decades and I have always found the breakfast at Line & Lariat to be excellent. There are a few servers who have been there for many years. I look forward to seeing them each year. They are great people and very attentive to your needs. Driss is one in particular that is so friendly and seems to read your mind about what you will need. The food is excellent and there is always plenty to go around in the buffet for breakfast. I would highly recommend it. And the ambience is very cool. It is sort of retro post art deco.

If your first reaction when you hear "I had dinner at the hotel bar" is "Ugh!" you'd be right about 90% of the time. Line & Lariat, however, is the exception to the rule! First, and most importantly, the staff, Jennifer & Jasmine, are friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I don't care how good a restaurant's food is, if their staff doesn't set the right tone, the entire restaurant is guaranteed to leave a bad taste in my mouth. These guys, and the expiditer/busser as well, were quite simply wonderful. The food also happens to be excellent and reasonably priced! I had fish and chips, which is very easy to make poorly. Line & Lariot, however, knocked it out of the park! The chocolate cake was also perfection, which was another nice surprise. (I once managed a similar restaurant downtown - Culpepper's in the early 90's, and I waited tables at Tony's in the late 80's, so my expectations are exceedingly high when it comes both to staff training and food). The Hotel Icon is a special, and beautiful, hotel I've loved since its incredible grand opening about 20-years ago. Line & Lariat more than earns its place in the hotel's elegant lobby. Line & Lariat is the perfect spot for drinks and a bite before and/or after the theatre.

Food and service is always amazing. Regardless if you're having the buffet or ordering off the menu you will not be disappointed. Thank you Jose!

The service was incredible, and the food was even better! Jose is one of the best waiters in Houston.

Jairo was the bartender when I visited. Let me tell you, he was kind, warm, and considerate. He didn't mind when I asked him about what the drinks had. I told him I didn't want to mix alcohol and he managed to make my drinks with the same liquor to fulfill my request. I felt safe and cared for during my interactions with Jairo.

10/10! We are staying at the hotel and decided to have a drink at the bar. It was exceptional and so we decided to try the food as opposed to going to one of our downtown staples. Best decision. The Barbacoa nachos and the charcuterie board were sooo good. The guy next to us had a steak salad and truffle fries and said they were delicious as well. Do yourself a favor and order the Ma Berry - one of the best drinks I've ever had. Jairo was our bartender and was 10/10 as well.

Ms. Jennifer was very kind and extremely attentive. Great drinks and great vibes, 10/10 recommend.

Jennifer served me my first ever old fashioned for my 53rd birthday and it and the service was amazing!

Jairo and Jennifer are amazing servers and bar tenders. Very attentive, accommodating, and overall provide a great experience.

Jennifer is amazing ... so personable, attentive, and knows her stuff like no other! thank you Jenn!

Jairo was amazing, very attentive and kind. Will be coming back here for Happy Hour whenever in Downtown Houston!

Jennifer at the bar was awesome, the place was very cute and clean. Good price for the area, will definitely be back!

Lovely date night spot for cocktails. Jennifer and Jairo were very friendly and made some fantastic drinks. I appreciated having mocktail options.

Definitely join Jairo "best bartender in Houston" for a drink at the bar at Icon Autograph Hotel. The food is also great and Jairo works to make sure you have a great time!

Jennifer was awsome , came in for a drink , she gave history of the icon....it made our visit so memiorable!.

Jairo is amazin! the drinks are on point. He's very about the history of the hotel and h is very attentive. Thanks for your hospitality Jairo.

I cannot say enough about the service and quality of food! The ambiance is so relaxing and welcoming. Our server Driss made us feel so welcome and went out of his way to be sure our needs were being met. We will definitely be back!

Buffett breakfast was great with special order eggs available. Driss is a fantastic waiter providing pleasant and excellent service. We also had Dinner at the Bar with Jennifer taking care of us. She is friendly, attentive and the drinks were awesome. I'd recommend the Egg Rolls, and the Empanadas for appetizers and the Fish and Chips and Burgers for mains.

Jennifer is the best. Great food, great atmosphere!! Very unique hotel with a lot of appeal

I always enjoy my stays at the Icon. I had the pleasure of having breakfast there every morning and Driss took great care of me

We love the attention and Customer service! Jeniffer at the bar. Jairo at the bar! Cetia, Simone, Rita are awesome!!!! They are who keep us coming back!!' Excellent!!!!!

Jennifer is that bartender--welcoming, quick with a drink, and even quicker with a good vibe. She made us feel like regulars even though it was our first time. Her attention to detail, fun energy, and ability to keep the bar flowing smoothly were top-tier. Definitely the kind of person who makes you want to come back. Cheers to great service and even better company!

Such a great feature in the Icon Hotel. Stopped in for a quick drink and dessert and Jennifer was so fun. She shared the history of the hotel, served great drinks, and made our experience that much better. I highly recommend a visit.

Had ribeye fajitas and stuffed shrimp appetizer. All good and hot. Highly recommend both Bartender and waiter Jairo was excellent!!

Jasmine and Jennifer, "Jenny" were phenomenal! They were so welcoming, kind, and helpful. Had lunch at the restaurant and then had an after-dinner drink. They helped us pick out great drinks. We had a low blood sugar hours later (diabetic) and as they were closing, I had to run down and get juice in an Emergency because we didn't have any with us. They immediately ran and got a coke and poured us juices, in the middle of the night and didn't require a charge-they said "don't worry I got you!" Best bar service I've had at a hotel. Friendly lovely people! thanks Jen and Jasmine!

Great service with a smile, fantastic cocktail. so far the stay has been better than Belagio

Jennifer and Jairo are the absolute best. The drinks were great and the service was even better.

So I'm vegan and was in need of specific soup. Luckily, the staff here was extremely accommodating. Alexis at guest services promptly connected me with Jennifer who able to help me source the soups, warm them and spice them up to perfection. It's really the little things that go miles. Made this vegan very very happy! :)

Great service and excellent skills couldn't ask for a better service or bartender, attention was great awesome recommendations and knowledge of the beverages offered in the menu 10 out of 10

I had dinner and it was very good. Fresh ingredients. The sauce was wonderful. Very relaxing atmosphere and nice music in the dining area.

Jennifer and Jairo are wonderful. They both had great recommendations. 10/10 service.

Jennifer and Jairo were so lovely and took great care of us at Hotel Icon. Lime and Lariat had amazing food as well. Wonderful experience! Thank you Jenny from the bar :)

Jairo at the bar is the best!!! So sweet and attentive - making our time after our conference relaxing and nice!

This is our second time to have breakfast here and the food is really good! Driss served us and he was very attentive. We highly recommend Line & Lariat. it's a beautiful place with much history, too!

Jennifer & Jairo were great! We got the background of the hotel and excellent drinks.

Jennifer made sure we enjoyed our dinner and drinks. Very attentive and hospitable. We had a salad and the truffle fries with and a martini.

Had breakfast here on a Sunday morning after a walk around the Bayou. Food was as you'd expect for a hotel but the service was excellent! Our server, Driss, was attentive, very helpful and made the breakfast memorable!

We're guests of the hotel and had a great meal here. Jennifer was fantastic and took awesome care of us! Thank you!

Sometimes it's nice when your power goes out. Great food and cocktails!!! Gotta try the Arancini and Cajun Shrimp Scampi, then wash it down with a Cherry Old Fashion AND a Wild Berry Lemon Drop.

My husband and I visited for breakfast. Driss was our server and he could not have been more polite, accommodating and friendly. I'm quite confident he did the job of many as he hustled and provided top notch service. There was a bit of a mix up with the menu that was posted online (the one we found anyway) and the one in the restaurant. I mentioned my husband was hoping for the Texas brisket Benedict and within a second Driss was off to the kitchen to see what he could make happen. The food was great (I had French toast) but the real highlight here is Driss, who I found out has been there since the hotel opened!

best fish tacos I ever had. Jennifer in the bar was wonderful! really enjoyed our drinks and visit with her.

We had a lovely evening at the bar! The food was excellent and we enjoyed chatting about the history of the hotel as it was originally an old bank. Jennifer and Jaido were so good to us! we will be back!

Driss did an amazing job!! Very helpful! Was able to get fresh food over to me! Provided a refill for my water bottle! Look forward to staying here again. Thank you all!!

Jenny from the bar was amazing and provided exemplary service. She was attentive, quick and always made us feel very comfortable. Jenny is a rock star and Hotel Icon is lucky to have her. I travel substantially and it is rare to find a person who is passionate about her job and makes people feel so welcome.

Jairo is extremely knowledgeable in his craft of bartending and his service quality is outstanding!
