Great food and service. The cured salmon and melon starter was a perfect combination of flavor. The cherry puff pastry dessert is also a must have. Staff were friendly and introduced each dish simply. Can't wait to come back.

All around an incredible upscale dining experience with amazing food, service, and ambiance. Everything about it feels purposefully curated (in a good way), with no details overlooked. From the time you get out of your car at the valet it's a journey through the MFAH entrance,...Read More

Amazing! The staff was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. The food looked like art and tasted awesome. We ordered the Spring tasting menu with the wine pairing. There is a reason this restaurant is a Michelin Star restaurant.
