Food: - Chicken liver pate: 10/10 SOOOO good! The bread that comes with it is amazing too. There is some sweet jam that is paired with it also. It doesn't overpower the main pate flavor, but I could probably do without the sweetness. - Pressed leeks: 10/10 I haven't had leeks too often in my life but this was really good! The sauce that they put it on pairs so well with it and really makes the dish. Must try even if you think you don't like leeks. - Venison tartare: my husband loves tartare and mustard so he loved this dish. I despise mustard and am lukewarm on tartare. The mustard taste was so strong. I hated this dish but I'm also not a good critic for it, so no rating from me. - Pappardelle: 7/10 Simple and classic. Not worth getting on your first visit but a nice dish on its own. - Butternut squash: 8/10 I can't remember much about this dish except that I enjoyed it :) - Pork collar Milanese: 9/10 Like a much better version of a schnitzel - Dumplings: 9/10 Just read the description on the menu and you know it's gonna be good. Ricotta? Brown butter? Yup amazing! Creamy, delicate, but not just a big mush that makes me want to gag. - Lamb ribs: 9/10 Nicely smoked, all around good balanced flavor - Wagyu bavette: 10/10 So good! Tender and juicy. But at this point in the meal, I'm usually pretty stuffed and the portion size is pretty decent. I would enjoy it even more if we didn't always order so many other small plates haha - Mushrooms: 9/10 Mushroom haters, please try this! You may change your mind! It changed my friend's mind that also doesn't like mushrooms. Service: - Always a good time. Checks in but not overbearing. Ambiance is slightly upscale but still relaxed. Doesn't feel uppity. - One time, we got free dessert. We were the last party in there so they probably just wanted to get rid of it. The cookie was so good! I've also been for brunch but have since forgotten what we've ordered. I just remember enjoying it a lot more than expected. Can't wait to go back again!

Food is excellent. Outstanding biscuits, shrimp polenta, mocktails, and the Dutch baby was fun. We…read morehappened to get lucky and reserved the cute patio on one of the few perfect weather days in Houston. Why only three stars? Service was odd to say the least. To start, we were lightly scolded for ordering three food items from the menu--we ordered mocktails to start--and between the two of us we don't eat large portions. If you don't think we're ordering enough food, it'd be nice to be informed that the portions are small if you're concerned about us being unsatisfied. As our plates came out, they were served with a perfunctory description of what we ordered and nothing else was said before they rushed off to be somewhere else. We don't expect to be doted on, but the overall vibe was standoffish on a quiet morning. Given they prefer full orders up front for pacing purposes, and our server was enforcing cups on coasters, we thought it was odd that our plates weren't refreshed between courses. I don't mind reusing the jam and butter covered plate to eat my polenta, but it conflicted with what the restaurant is trying to project. Overall, food was good, service was weird. Likely won't be back because Agnes & Sherman is right down the street and is so much better.

Went to D'Alba for lunch on a Friday and had a really great experience. The lunch menu had a solid…read moreselection with reasonable prices. I wasn't in the mood for one of the specialty pizzas loaded with toppings, so I kept it simple with a pepperoni pizza, and it was excellent. The crust had a perfect char and great flavor. We also tried the burrata and oysters. The burrata was very good. The oysters were Gulf Coast oysters, and I personally prefer East Coast oysters, so I probably wouldn't order those again, but that's just personal preference. The staff was friendly across the board, and our server William was especially personable and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, really enjoyable lunch spot and I'll definitely be coming back.

We had been here more than a year ago and it was so crowded. The prices are not sky high, but this is not an inexpensive restaurant. So we expect things to be very good or excellent. It was! The service was simply excellent, the food also excellent and it is such a beautiful place. I had the chicken and kept thinking that the dish might need salt. There was none on the table. But two bites in and I realized it was perfect and needed nothing. My wife ordered a Ramos Gin fizz. You cannot get those just anywhere, and like my Gin Martini it was perfect. It was our anniversary and they gave us some prosecco on the house and remembered it with happy anniversary wishes written on our dessert dish. Happily we will return.

Omelet with racketeering and crawfish etouffee was tasty Areas to improve 1. We booked patio because we wanted to be outside - they had a large baby shower that took over the large room and patio. It looks like it had been planned in advance so it would have been nice to know that the patio was not available . 2. Coffee service - the cup is really small and our server spilled the coffee out of the cup several times. That is just unprofessional to me when the cup is then soaking in the dish with coffee outside the cup. Plus it wasn't refilled as often. 3. Dishes are hit or miss - his shrimp and grits seemed to be a small portion and just bland and blah. 4. Restrooms are really dark 5. Patio outside looks unappealing there are dead plants and lanky wax leaf which gives terrible allergies. Also they have fake plants and also live ones inside the restaurant, but the inside orchids were dried up and dead looking so not fresh or appealing either. I know it's under new management so it might be hit or miss.

I'll be dreaming of the next time I can come back for the cavatelli & veal. All dishes were very well balanced and not heavy at all.

The menu is simple and creative with seemingly well thought out dishes. My group went with the prix fixe menu. All of us opted for the extra $15.00 up charge for the caviar bite served atop a gougere. The caviar and crème fraiche were wonderful. The gougere however was hard and tasted somewhat stale. For me the star of the starters was the rotolo. Perfectly cooked pasta with a savory butternut squash filling. My entree was the cod "chowder". This is where the difference between a four and five star restaurant was really pronounced. The kitchen timing was way off and the meal didn't flow well. There was an extremely long gap between starters and entrees. When the entrees arrived, my dish was cold as well as the pain au lait. What was hot were the roasted potatoes and sunchoke. It was clear that most of the entrees were sitting around waiting for whatever station was responsible for the potatoes to be completed. In this case I would have rather enjoyed the bread hot and fresh and waited for the potatoes.

Personally main dinning space looked dark so bar was ideal. We tried 4 different types of specialty cocktails, if you come at happy hour they are $3 off. These are craft cocktails, extremely extremely delicious. My favorites were the cocktail with beet and the cocktail with coconut and turmeric. Food was fantastic!! I loved how they served it in waves and not all at the same time. It felt more like a culinary experience. We had the cucumber salad which is a must. Followed by corn, which is good and totally unlike anything I've ever had before. Then the red fish which was sooooo good. Then the pork shoulder with coconut rice and together that was to die for. Plus the salt and vinegar potato's which I'd gladly have as a snack anytime. So so good!! Would come back honestly every week if I could!

I was really excited to eat here, but ultimately my experience did not live up to the restaurant's reputation. The first two courses on the tasting menu were fantastic (highly recommend the gulf shrimp aguachile and fried head cheese), but every other dish afterwards either lacked textural variety or well rounded flavor. The tamale course was overly soft to the point of mushiness, the carrots course was overwhelmingly spicy for our whole table, and we all agreed that most of the other courses were too salty. Service was friendly, but the courses were rolled out with VERY inconsistent timings (ranging anywhere between 5 minutes to over 25 minutes of waiting in between finishing one course and receiving the next). Our waiter also forgot to bring us our boxed leftovers even after I had reminded him for it while paying for the check. The experience was somewhat worthwhile but I left the restaurant wishing I could have treated our mothers to a smoother experience. - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 2/5 - Service: 3/5

A few weeks later I came on a Saturday night with friends and the service was a bit slower and table options were limited. We were still comfortable and just had a to wait a long time. We got our appetizers before our drinks. The crab toast wasn't my fave but I liked the pimento cheese fritters again.

For food and drinks, I ordered a nonalcoholic spritz, which was really refreshing. We shared a pizza that was pretty good, and I ordered the black pepper and parmesan spaghetti.

Considering the casual upscale nature of the restaurant, we expected a bit more attention to the table in terms of checking in order additional dishes / drinks.

Their appetizers were solid, both pasta dishes were delicious, and flavor and portions were solid. Their pizza style is a thicker crust style and we weren't a fan of the duck pizza at all, and their pepperoni based pizza was fine. Not the biggest fan of their dough or crust. Their cavatelli was delicious!
