I called back again to make sure there wasn't a minimum or anything, and they confirmed my reservation. When I showed up on game day, I walked into the full bar that clearly had no tables and went up to a man with a Decoy shirt on who said they don't do reservations. I told him I had just spoken to someone yesterday, and he "you have wrong information, there's no way we can do reservations with this many people - you probably called the corporate office (it's the number listed on their website so that made no sense)" and was very dismissive of me and not apologetic whatsoever. It's totally understandable that reservations wouldn't be possible on a World Cup day. Seems like the staff are not all on the same page, or I was misled to just get my group into the bar (which has happened at other bars during the tournament so it's not unheard of). Had to take my three nieces elsewhere at the last minute and don't imagine I'll be returning after that experience.

Estevan was always available and went out his way to handle any bridezilla moment. Aida was our event coordinator and she made the night memorable. From the moment my husband and I walked in to our reception venue we were greeted by all of the Staff and they were all introduced to us and ended our introduction with claps and cheers, mind you my husband and I were the first ones there as we wanted to inspect every detail. Aida immediately had the waitstaff take water and soda to our waiting room and made the night pleasant. We danced the night away and Aida was always near the dance floor awaiting us with beverages. She was running back and forth the entire night and always informed me of everything. If I wanted something done all I had to do was look around and she would immediately run towards me to ask if I was in need of anything. She made our night epic and spectacular, our entire party and guest noticed the attention she gave us. Overall, I rate La Fontaine 5 stars and more! Estevan and Aida, thanks for your hard work and attention. Kind regards, Jonathan and Janie Mata

I want to express my deep disappointment with the management at La Fontaine. We have used this…read moreballroom for multiple events over the years, including my own wedding, but this recent experience was by far the worst. Our niece's 15th party on 7/12 had several issues starting with the setup. Two main decor features listed in the contract were not installed. When we raised this with the manager on duty, Mr. Sergio , we were told these features were missing and too late to be set up. The decor manager should have proactively informed us about the shortfall and arranged a credit for the missing items, but no communication was made. The decor manager did not hold any accountability that she list some decor in the ballroom. The maintenance of the ballroom also showed a significant decline. Four industrial portable AC units were in use--was this communicated beforehand? Was the main AC not functioning? If so, should we receive compensation for this? Additionally, many ceiling tiles had visible water stains hidden behind fabric. Why weren't these replaced? It feels like an attempt to hide the damage. The gold glass tables inside were dirty and not cleaned before the event as well. Customer service at the bar was equally disappointing. The bartender, Patricia, displayed a poor attitude, was slow, and lacked the energy expected in her role. My father-in-law even had to step behind the bar to help because of her slow service, which offended her. She also cut people off arbitrarily, handling the situation poorly and causing discomfort for many guests. A bartender should be upbeat, efficient, and courteous, none of which were evident. On a positive note, the manager Sergio was great trying to resolve these issues, though the decor manager did not support him well and clearly needs retraining on client communication and decor management. Overall, this experience was hugely disappointing, especially given the high price and reputation La Fontaine portrays was not refilled and run down. I hope my feedback is taken seriously to improve the quality of service in the future.

Went to their Salsa Social that's the second Saturday of the month. I loved that they have free…read morelessons and then open 3 dance floors. You can learn and then have fun showing off what you learned. They have rooms dedicated to bachata, zouk, and the largest dance floor is for salsa. Each room has excellent music, some seating, mirrors and a great floor. You can tell they take pride in the place. The instructors are super nice and will show you the basics if you miss the lesson or need a refresher. In the salsa room you can buy water, Gatorade, pop, etc. It's BYOB right now but I didn't notice a lot of alcohol drinking, people were really there to dance. It was fun popping in to each room and dancing with different partners. As a female, it can be frustrating when a guy leaches on to you all night but the men here did not do that. Thwy respectfully asked for a dance and thanked me after each dance. If you happen to get a sticky guy, at least you can escape into one of the other rooms to get away. Somewhere between 11:30 and midnight various dance teams performed the different styles of dance. What an awesome deal. For $15 you can get a dance lesson, dance to excellent music on professional dance floors, and get a highly entertaining show. They also offer a series of dance lessons for various levels so you can take classes and get to know more dancers. I didn't take any photos because I was too busy dancing. I took video of the performances but can't upload videos to Yelp. I am so glad I found this place!

Doesn't look like much when you drive past - okay, I'm using the canned Yelp message there - and,…read moreif you arrive at night, it's likely that you'll drive right past it. The Palladium is located on a one-way freeway frontage road, so you can't make a U-turn to get there if you pass it up. But it's not one to avoid. The Palladium is not a franchise of a nationwide company named after Arthur Murray or Fred Astaire. It's a local concern, and doesn't offer as much as the other two studios I listed. I've gone to their Latin events, and here's what it looks like: They have in-house instructors, and also bring in people from outside Houston. (I wrote about California's Kathy Reyes in two prior reviews, I hope she's reading this and makes the trip to Houston some time!) They have classes, and they have dance parties. Both are run well, charging market rates. Lots of parking. One medium-sized dance floor, two smaller studios. The bar sells drinks, both alky and non-alky. Restrooms are deep in the bowels of the building, down the hall to the left. The people who come are a good company, and are fixinta learn to dance better and to have fun. The social dance community of Houston is smaller than in other cities, so there's much overlap from one instructor to another, and it's likely that you'll meet someone there who you danced with somewhere else. I haven't met any snobs yet, but you can't assume that they won't be there. I first went to the Palladium for New Years Eve. I've been several times since then. The experience was similar to others I've been to in other cities. I've had a good time, and never drove home thinking "well, that was a waste of a hundred mile drive one-way." Beaumont simply has nothing like The Palladium, likely because few people in the Coonie Triangle are interested in ballroom or Latin dancing. I encourage you to find a class or party and stop on by.
