What a great experience! First time here, for a private event. It's kinda upscale, but has hookah which is a bit casual for me. Service was great in the private room. Orders were a little slow coming out, but well worth the wait. The food was piping hot and delicious! The private space is beautifully decorated. Pricing is moderate. The space offers various opportunities for photos and selfies. Outside of a private event I feel the environment is for a younger crowd, which includes choices of music. It is a bit loud, even in the private space. Not sure if the volume is adjustable. But we still had a great time celebrating my daughter.
Definitely do not recommend coming here on a Tuesday! The worst customer service I've ever experienced and from female management! I came for my birthday and made reservations. One of my girlfriends was 36 weeks pregnant. It took an hour to get sat with a reservation! And then they sat us at a high top when there were lower tables available. When I requested to move they refused and told us we could sit outside though where it was super hot. I informed the manager of her almost falling and she did nothing. If anything she was extremely rude! Then I seen smaller groups than ours get sat at low tables! There was only 4 of us and they couldn't even accommodate us. Then the drinks were extremely overpriced, small food portions and super ratchet environment. The music was waaaaayyy toooo loud, you literally need to scream to speak to the person across the way. And there aren't any directions or signed on how to get to the building! So many ladies were lost. Oh and your whole party must be present before they seat you, even if one person is missing. Overall I DO NOT RECOMMEND'. Instagram videos made this place look legit, and it's not at all! Don't believe the hype, go somewhere else. I won't ever come back to this establishment and again don't recommend!
We got here as they opened at 4:00 p.m. One thing that was disappointing was that they're supposed to welcome guests with a complimentary glass of champagne, but we were told they had already run out. That was surprising considering they had just opened. They also ran out of sparkling water. If you're advertising a complimentary drink, I'd expect inventory to be checked and stocked before opening for the day. Other than that, we had a really good experience. We went on Tuesday for the special where you buy two drinks and get a salad, entrée, and dessert included. It was definitely worth it! The drinks were strong, and the food was delicious. Parking was easy with the attached garage, and the restaurant validated the first two hours. Valet is also available if you prefer. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was beautiful; the décor is gorgeous and the music was great. They also offer hookah, although we didn't partake. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back.
If you are in Houston, get reservations and go to Confessions! You won't be disappointed! In fact you may be inspired to make a confession now on to my review. The ambiance of this place hits you at the entrance with an astronaut and mirrors and it's slightly dark and mysterious. Many great photo opportunities. Then you are taken into the main space which is upscale but also whimsical with a life size Iron Man. There's also a balcony area that I'm sure will be a whole scene during the cooler months. We decided to get the mimosas tower, shrimp and grits, and donut burger and fries. The mimosas tower was amazing. The shrimp and grits were tasty. I didn't eat the donut, but the burger meat was delicious and the fries were tasty. Come to confessions and enjoy!
Upon entry we were greeted with a glass of champagne which was such a nice touch. The ambiance was nice, they played confessions by usher about 10 times but overall aesthetically pleasing. Our waitress was super nice and attentive. Now, we walked out of there and reflected thinking -- we just got robbed. $180 for a shared entree, appetizer, side & 2 drinks is fine I guess but the quality has to match and this wasn't it. The strawberry wings had no depth in flavor just wings tossed in strawberry jam. No seasoning, no spice, no salt, no thought. Stick to the regular flavors - and fyi the strawberry will be on in your nails for the next 24 hours. The lamb Rockefeller was innovative but just didn't hit for me. Maybe if the topping was a bit more charred but it was like spinach dip on top of lamb chops. The Mac and cheese was solid, but nothing boxed Mac & cheese can't do. You're there for the ambiance, not the food. While the food is edible, for the price point you can find way better food in Houston. If I return I'd sit at the bar & get hookah with 1 appetizer.
Reminds a solid 3 stars. Parking is validated for 2 hours in self parking. The menu presentation has improved. The sides have decreased in texture. Particularly the candid yams, they were very sticky and difficult to chew. As if I was eating airhead candy, which I dislike it entirely. I had a salmon plate with a side of rice. Both was Al la cart portions and the rice portion was less than a kid size. For $8. Reminded me of the mouthwash cup size of jollaf rice from November's event.
JOSHUA was A-MAZE-BALLS! Service was spectacular and the food was delicious. We had the steak and truffle fries special, along with the strawberry wings and beef bacon brussel sprouts. Love the atmosphere and music. Definitely will be back!
Had brunch at Confessions Restaurant & Lounge and really enjoyed the experience. I ordered the chicken and cookie butter waffles, which came with four full wings and four mini waffles. The waffles were fluffy and delicious, and the chicken was seasoned well and flavorful. I also tried the martini and sangria and enjoyed both. The decor is gorgeous with a fun, girly vibe that makes the space feel perfect for a birthday brunch, girls' night, or celebration. There's also patio seating available if you want to sit outside. The music was a mix of 90s R&B at the perfect volume -- enough to set the mood without making it hard to have a conversation. Parking was easy with an attached garage available. Overall, such a cute brunch spot with great vibes, good food, and a fun atmosphere.
The food was cool , the drinks were a 10/10 . The sidechick will be my new fav drink! Service good . I did love the cheesecake . It's deff a favorite thing of mines . The champagne at the door is top tier and give a luxury feeling . It's always beautiful to see a black owned business doing well.
My friend and I came here on a whim and it was the best decision! We were greeted with complimentary champagne and sat at the bar. I love decor with the pink chairs and flowers above the bar. Our bartender was really nice and took our orders pretty fast. It was happy hour and I decided on the Cajun Chicken Flatbread and Spinach Dip. Both came out piping hot and delicious. The flatbread had great flavor and was perfectly crispy The spinach dip had great flavor as well and the pita was just right. When I'm back in Houston, this will definitely be a go to place for me!
I was highly impressed! Upon coming out of the elevator, we were greeted with complimentary champagne. If you're into aesthetics, this is the place for you. We sat at the bar and enjoyed happy hour which included half off appetizers and flatbreads. My friend tried one of the flatbreads and spinach dip while I had the calamari and strawberry cornbread. I will say it was just regular cornbread with a slight drizzle and strawberry garnish but it was still good. I would come here every time I come to Houston.
This is a great place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or to just hang with friends, your partner, or by yourself at the bar. The decor is amazing, the music is a mix between R&B, Hip-Hop, and Afrobeats. Our server was friendly and very attentive. She checked on us the right amount of time. Our food came out pretty quickly too, so no complaints there. I would recommend coming out and checking this place out. Heat of the moment: 10/10.. perfectly spicy and perfectly balanced. It is not sweet nor bitter. This drink is perfectly in the middle. Spicy peach wings: 10/10.. I got them breaded and every bite was full of flavor. It was not too sweet and not too spicy. I highly recommend getting these. Brussels sprouts: 8/10.. They were good but nothing truly wowing about them. The sauce is what makes them great and it does have bits of bacon. Spinach dip with crab: 8/10.. this dip was amazing... except for the crab.. the crab meat was not good and tasted too much like the ocean. Crab is supposed to have a slight sweet taste to it. It's probably because I lived in Maryland and know how crab is supposed to taste. Texas got crawfish on lock but crab... eh.. I say get the regular spinach dip.
Because Yelp recommended it, I looked at the Confessions website and immediately suggested it to my dinner group based solely on the aesthetic portrayed in the photos. Later, when I found out it was a hookah bar, I became concerned, for my friends and I are definitely foodies with high expectations when it comes to food. However, midway through our appetizers, my concerns dissipated as the oohs and aahs floated across our table. We were a party of 7, and every one of us, without exception, remarked at the deliciousness of each offering. We had the calamari (perfectly tender and crispy,) the pasta (Al dente and oh so very savory!) the hummus (the accompanying pita triangles were incredibly crisp and the dish delightful,) and the rosemary truffle fries, which were, again, perfectly crispy, and incredibly flavorful. For entrees, a couple of us had the burger (wonderful, and the bacon jam is a GAME-CHANGER.) the Cajun Alfredo (packs a punch in flavor,) the Honey Truffle Chicken (outstanding.) the Crab Fried rice (I didn't taste it, but the person who ordered it loved it,) and the Kabobs. (Again, I didn't taste them, but the person who ordered the dish said it was excellent.) The cocktails were wonderful, as well. Back to the ambience: it's certainly beautiful, airy, with tall ceilings and abundant natural light from the expansive windows. The furniture is tasteful modern-eclectic and comfortable: something else we all noticed is it was void of any odors - very fresh and clean, which is huge for a hookah bar. Service, like the food, was outstanding. Every single staffer we encountered was gracious, welcoming, and genuinely warm. We appreciated the recommendations from our server and the visits from management. So, Confessions has it all, and we will definitely be back to try more of the menu. What an awesome find!
Chhhhhhhaaaaseeee. Your service is superb. You literally knew everything about everything. With such nice customer service you made sure we were taken care of. The food recommendations were phenomenal and the experience you curated was incredible. You definitely are in the right place to share your journey with others! From the atmosphere, the clean restrooms, the validated self parking and the food service each moment is 10/10 but the person who guided the evening, Chase, made the experience top tier! read more
Had a very positive experience here at Confessions! Initially, I didn't have high expectations, as the restaurant is still very new and naturally, we expected there to be a few hiccups but the experience exceeded my expectations. The food was tasty, great value for the price of the menu items and service (provided by Jae) was amazing. I would definitely recommend and will be back soon. The only thing on the menu we weren't a fan of were the kabobs; the flavor wasn't good, as they tasted too charred, in addition to a teriyaki flavor that did not mesh well. However, our waiter was very understanding and flexible about this. Great experience. read more

staff was very nice food was excellent 10/10 very seasoned and tasty love this place for my first time read more
I found this place from an instagram reel. And I really love the vibe there. Food and drink were good. The service was great. The decor is quite interesting. The only thing I don't really like about is they have limited dining time based on number of your party and automatically 20% gratuity charged. read more
The menu is fairly limited yet delicious, we had lamb chops which were cooked and seasoned perfectly as was the salmon! Our service was excellent and we were seated immediately after we were greeted with complimentary champagne. Our Server Shay was extremely sweet and personable . The restaurant itself is BEAUTIFULLY decorated ! We went in a weekday which did not require a reservation but we were told it's very busy on the weekends, so make sure to make a reservation if you plan to go on a weekend . I would have liked a little more of a variety of dishes but the fast service made me appreciate it the quality more than anything! We will definitely be doing more date nights or girls night out here in the future . I don't see this being a kid friendly restaurant environment as much as an adult friendly place. read more
Had an amazing experience at Confessions this past Saturday! Immediately upon entry, we were warmly greeted and offered champagne. We checked in and the wait wasn't long at all even though it was a busy night. Sandy was the absolute sweetest - she seated us in VIP, which was such a sweet surprise. She walked us through the menu and shared some recommendations, which none of them were a disappointment. Our waiter Z from Chicago came over and blessed us with great hospitality as well. She was very attentive the entire visit. Let's get down to the food and drinks, which is an absolute must try! For food, we had the honey truffle chicken (omg perfection!), brussel sprouts, mac n cheese and lamb chops. Let's just say our plates were empty lol! Seriously sooo good! For drinks, we had the signature Espresso Martini and another drink that included blackberries. Listennnnn to me when I say 10/10!!! And let me not forget to add it was complimentary! We truly enjoyed ourselves and will be back very very soon. The ambiance was so beautiful and unforgettable. Super thank you for the amazing experience! read more

We were excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived. Although we had a reservation, we waited nearly an hour to be seated. At no point when making the reservation were we informed that the entire party had to be present before we could be seated. When our table was finally ready, two members of our group had briefly stepped away to use the restroom. One of the hostesses was unnecessarily rude about not seating us until they returned. Thankfully, another host stepped in and handled the situation more professionally, allowing us to be seated while we waited the few minutes for them to come back. Once seated, our waitress was kind, courteous, and acknowledged that the restaurant was much busier than usual, which we appreciated. However, despite placing both our food and drink orders shortly after being seated, we waited another 30 to 40 minutes without receiving anything other than water. During that time, we watched a nearby table receive two rounds of drinks while we still had not received our initial order. We understand that restaurants can have exceptionally busy days, and we always try to be patient. However, the lack of communication, the unprofessional interaction with one of the hostesses, and the excessive wait times ultimately led us to leave without ever receiving our food or drinks. It was a frustrating experience and not the first impression we had hoped for. read more

If you're going out with your girls, and need a something that will absolutely wow you, order the Mimosas Tree. Celebrated my besties bachelorette here, and this will forever be apart of a treasured memory. I ordered the peach cobbler chicken and waffles, the chicken was so perfectly seasoned it didn't need ketchup or hot sauce. The peach cobbler dressing was so perfect the waffles didn't need syrup. Everyone at our table was more than satisfied. Food for a party of 7 all came out at the same time. However, the true wow factor is the vibes the restaurant gives. Would definitely recommend. read more

I LOVEEE LOVEEEE THIS PLACE OMGGGG. The new years menu did it for me! Have to leave a review. I've been here a couple times. It is a little pricey in my opinion but it is what it is. The food: amazing. Ordered the house salad, spicy peach wings( those right there!!!!) , Mac and cheese and the 8oz filet mignon. Everything tasted great. Service: was GREAT, she was so sweet and very attentive. Drinks: I loved the jalapeño drink I got. The sangria was good too. They're really good they have long names I don't remember them Ambiance: 10/10 it's always cute. read more

I was very disappointed with my experience. The food was honestly mid and not worth the hassle. The biggest issue, however, was the parking. The signage is misleading -- it states that parking is validated, but does not mention that validation only applies to self-parking and not valet. This was never explained to me when I was told about validation. When I brought this up, the restaurant claimed they had no control over the parking situation, yet the sign is posted in connection with the restaurant and gives incomplete information. This lack of transparency is frustrating and unacceptable. Between the average food and the misleading parking situation, I will not be returning. read more
When I walked in I realized that this restaurant use to be Se7en. I had no idea they had closed and this restaurant was now Confessions. Our waitress was friendly and gave good suggestions. I had the spicy rigatoni with blackened chicken. The pasta was so flavorful and seasoned very well. My only complaint was that the chicken was a little bit overcooked. Overall the experience was good. I'd definitely visit again. read more

Friend came in from Cali wanted to catch a dinner I had been hearing the talk of confessions. It's been open for about 3mths on the date we visited ... parking fee is very reasonable 10$ valet (self park is available too) very limited street parking due to city ordinance signs... we all gushed over the decor and the vibe immediately upon entering ... complimentary glass of champagne given . The place is definitely picture worthy. Once everyone or more than 50% in the party arrived we took our seats as the 2hr table limit begins soon as you are seated. The music was at the " just right" level we could all hear one another speaking and not having to shout. The playlist was rnb very classy was no twerking of any kind the evening we visited. They are still operating on a "soft opening menu" albeit food or drinks but was told they will be going full menu very soon. If you order any of the lamb chop dishes (there's two right now) please be advised that it comes with ZERO sides ..... separate, Al la carte for sides. Yes some food options were not available that evening like the Brussel sprouts. Some of the meal choices between the four of us : strawberry wings (reported taste similar to the Chinese orange sauce but red she only ate 1 (wouldn't order again) , classic salmon she reported "decent" she wouldnt order it again but would try something else , blackened salmon was a hit and flavorful she would order again ( both ladies mentioned the side broccolini was a bit salty) the side Mac n cheese she reported "could be better" wouldn't order again. As for me I had the cob salad !!! Beautiful colors and fresh !!! I inquired about the "grilled Caesar salad " the hostess was dope told me how it's prepared it's not the traditional Cesar salad setup so I opt out and went with Cobb salad yes I would order it again!!! They do have hookah for purchase inside with your meal (well ventilated no issue of being "smoked" out)! I had a simple wine so didn't try the mixed cocktails ! Yes there is a service fee added to all checks no matter group size , you cash out at your table . I would definitely go back ., definitely go give them a try read more

We (group of four) came to Confessions (on a Sunday around 5:30pm) and had the best experience! Black owned establishment. Getting to the parking lot was a bit of a hassle, but once we parked in the parking garage it wasn't too bad. They will validate your self-parking (not applicable to valet). We were greeted upon entering and given a complimentary champagne glass. The decor is really nice and so many photo opportunities. The ambiance was comfortable, soft lighting and the volume of the music was just right (you can converse amongst yourselves and don't have to yell). The song selections were also great. Given the vibes/atmosphere, it could definitely be a good date-night spot. The service we received was great, and our waitress was personable, attentive and timely! The menu is fairly limited but the good food makes up for it. My group came as a quick spot to eat before a concert: I ordered the Chicken Cobb salad and boy that salad was IMPECCABLE! Everyone else ordered the Confessions Wings and fries, and the wings were made with the perfect breading/crisp. The flavor of everything was delicious! We also ordered drinks and they definitely made them with love. The Espresso Martini was top tier and the Heat of the Moment drink had such an amazing flavor profile. We didn't order hookah but they have them as well. We had such a positive experience and will definitely be back! read more

Confessions was a nice restaurant with a cute aesthetic feel. The server was really nice and gave us a detailed overview of the menu as well as gave recommendations on dishes. The food was OK and the drinks were too. I would have liked a little more season on the chicken, but I enjoyed the macaroni and cheese. The waitress said that the spinach dip had crab in it, but I didn't taste any lol. The hookah was pricier than other places that I went to on my vacation, but it was kind of expected with the ambience. I would come back again and try something different. read more

So let's go over the positives....beautiful space, courteous staff, dj was good. We could enjoy the vibes and have a conversation without yelling which is apparently a feat to achieve at other vibe dining establishments. So kudos to you! We were here for my friend's bday. The menu is southern/cajun Mediterranean. I didn't quite see a fusion of styles, flavors, or techniques but there was hummus and kabobs on the menu along with fried chicken Mac and cheese etc. This was a missed opportunity to wow guest and have a stronger more intriguing menu. It is pricey and portions are ok for some dishes and a lil mind boggling for others. The drinks were just ok but I only got one round and I transitioned to wine for dinner. I ordered the honey truffle chicken with mashed potatoes. It just tasted sweet. The earthy flavor of the truffle was not present although I did see it around the plate. Other orders at the table were the strawberry wings which were received well. The lamb chops were cool and the Mac and cheese was just ok middle of the road. The kabob plate, price point, and portion was good unsure how it tastes. However, the rice looked prepared well and the grill on the kabobs was appealing. Nothing really stood out besides the price which brings me to closing out the tap. We never got a tab dropped however he had tabs separated according to who was paying what. So when I tapped at the handheld it just showed the cost and immediately went to the tip which said 15%, 18%, and 20%. This was misleading because it implied I had not tipped at all. When I did receive the check I had tipped over $75 on a $140+ tax and gratuity which I saw was $190 for tab of mid food and drinks. Like get real. Even with great service I would never do that. When I questioned why it wasn't brought up I was told it was on the menu. Now in my defense my table light was not working on my end so I was reading the menu in the dark. So I get the technicality but we should not mislead customers. I was further advised the initial gratuity was split with staff and my server only received half of that. Although that is how they choose to do business I would have appreciated transparency and a willingness to remove the over tipped amount. Nonetheless lesson learned. Won't be back so take it as a parting gift with this review. read more

I was able to make it to their soft opening. Super cute place, the aesthetics are nice. It used to be the old Se7en restaurant, if you're familiar. Covered parking garage. Not really sure of the rates, I've gone in and out for free and other times I've gone in and out and paid $5 or $7, etc. They do have valet, but I've never used them to know the cost. Food is good, although I've only had the salmon. I've had it enough times to confirm that it is consistently good. The drinks were great. The first time I went, I chose a drink on the menu. I usually go for an espresso martini, but the one on the menu had Bailey's which I don't prefer in my drink. I asked the waiter and he told me that the espresso martini came already mixed like that and they couldn't remove it. That right there is the reason why I like to sit at the bar. Let me ask the bartender LOL So of course, the next time I visited, I sat at the bar. It was a weird experience. Reservations are highly recommended here. I made one but asked if I could sit at the bar with the reservation. The hostess walks me to the bar and as we are grabbing a seat, someone just came up and took the other. Mind you, there are only two seats left at the bar. There was a back and forth a little bit with the hostess and the other party, but the thing that saved us was that we made a reservation and the other people didn't. That's why I say make a reservation. First thing I ordered at the bar was an espresso martini. Guess what? They can do it without Bailey's. Came another time, I live nearby lol don't judge! This time was just more of a pop-up on a Friday night. Realized that you can't even see the bar from the hostess stand. There were quite a few people waiting for tables in the lobby. I asked the hostess if they had any open seating at the bar. She disappeared for a little bit to check and then came back and told me that there was not. All good, we'll try again another time or make reservations. No biggie. The owner did his thing when he hired staff for his hostess table. They are amazing and super accommodative. Came again for the bar with no reservations on a Saturday night and asked the hostess the same thing, for a seat at the bar. She goes and checks and comes back and lets me know that there is space available. Easy enough. The next thing I know, a whole group of people are coming and just standing around the bar ordering drinks and hanging out. That let me know that I may not even have to check in with the hostess to go to the bar? I don't even know. If you find out please let me know. For the most part, it's cool for a dining experience. I'm more of a sit at the bar type of person unless I'm celebrating something special, which was the case of my first time coming. As a quick in and out, sit at the bar vibe, I don't recommend them. It's too much of a struggle for me to just come in and have a seat at the bar. I exchanged information with a bartender my second time going. I hit her up for my third visit and she told me she had quit! I would definitely try again, but I won't go out of my way if I don't have reservations. They do hookah on their outside patio, and I believe they have a separate room that offers it as well. The prices were a bit higher than I normally pay for hookah but it was smooth. They no longer offer the lipstick hookah. I know they have like a spaceman one or something like that and it's over a hundred bucks. Maybe close to $200, but don't quote me because I don't remember. They have a standard sleek hookah that's regular price, and it still has an upscale look to it. Definitely go support and try them. I love the look of the place, and the location is perfect for me. However, seating access is not the easiest for me to make it my 'new spot'. They also have been having celebrity sightings there, if you feel like being a groupie ;-) 1 star removed just because it's a hassle to get to the bar, and the server was not knowledgeable about their drinks.

Yesterday, my partner and I dined at this restaurant. Here are my thoughts: 1. The food was genuinely delicious. 2. However, based on our experience, we did not feel welcomed as Asian customers Here is why: 1. We were given utensils that were not properly cleaned. 2. After taking our order, the server rolled her eyes in a very rude and dismissive manner. 3. The server attempted to charge us for gratuity twice -- an automatic service charge was already included, yet she insisted that we had not paid any tip. 4. Each time water was refilled, it was poured from what appeared to be the very bottom of the pitcher. 5. When we asked for our leftovers to be packed, the way the server handled our food was shockingly disrespectful. Overall, the restaurant offers tasty food at reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the service experience raised serious concerns about discrimination and a lack of basic professionalism . read more

Visited Confessions while in town for the Cowboy Carter Tour with my best friend. She made the reservation, and we had no idea this was more of a party style restaurant. We were expecting a low-key dinner. When we arrived, it felt more like a club meets dinner spot, but we decided to roll with it. Despite the surprise, we had a nice time! The blackened salmon I ordered was delicious, and our server was fantastic, very attentive and made sure we were taken care of, especially after we mentioned we weren't expecting the lively vibe. My best friend ordered the fettuccine, which she felt was a bit basic, and the drinks were just okay. It wasn't the best spot for conversation due to the party atmosphere, but overall, it ended up being a fun and unique dining experience. read more

Ambiance: 10/10! Beautiful and insta-worthy decor. Flowers everywhere. Definitely a vibe! Drinks: I only tried the Lychee Martini which was a 10/10! Very delicious and not super sweet. It came as a recommendation from our server and she mentioned they were $1 that night (Thursdays -with purchase of an appetizer). Friends ordered other drinks before I arrived and they struggled to finish them noting they were just okay. Everyone loved the Lychee martinis and I ordered a 2nd round for the table! Food: meh 5/10. This is the average of everyone at the table. I ordered Brussels since I figured that was safe and I love them. Well they were edible but barely. Give them a 4/10. Lemon pepper wings 2/10 (friend only at one and left them. She said they were too sour). Shrimp kabobs and rice 5/10 (friend said rice tasted old like it was cooked in a pot that was sitting out for days with dishwashing liquid still lingering). Chicken Alfredo 6.5/10. Hookah: I don't smoke but everyone loved the hookah and said they'd come here just for the hookah and ambiance. Service: 8/10 server was attentive and had a great attitude. We were low maintenance this night and didn't ask or need for much. Drinks and food came out quickly! read more

I came here this past weekend to celebrate my anniversary and it was a huge mistake. Let's go: 1) When we arrived, there was no mention of our anniversary even though it was indicated on the reservation. 2) Based on social media, I expected a glass of champagne upon arrival. That didnt happen either. 3) We sat down in the "VIP" room, but had less than a "VIP" experience. It took the server 25 min to come and take our drink order. After they came, we decided to order appetizers (breaded wings) and they took 40 min to come out. Shortly after, the entrees came which gave us less time to enjoy the appetizer. We had to constantly ask for water refills due to the lack of attention. 4) We decided to order dessert. Tell me why they brought plastic silverware for us to use! Where they do that at? I thought this fine dining and not a takeout spot. See attached photo. I guess my mistake was coming here thinking it was going to be upscale for something as special as my anniversary. I will say the food was good but the service killed it. Instead it was bad service and a long night of waiting. With that being said, avoid here if you want to experience something as special as your anniversary. read more
The food was amazing: especially the strawberry wings and the vibe inside was just as good. The DJ was incredible and really brought the energy. But the front-of-house experience? Completely ruined it. The hostess was one of the rudest and most disorganized I've ever dealt with. We asked about seating and whether the VIP table she mentioned had an extra charge, and instead of answering, she kept repeating "This is a restaurant!"--which made zero sense and didn't answer the question. She seemed visibly annoyed that we were even asking, and we were brushed aside with no real guidance on when or if we'd be seated. Once we finally got in, our server was very kind and attentive, but also seemed burnt out or over it; like he was trying his best in a chaotic setup. We also had to wait a long time for the server to show up and I tried to grab someone's attention and when I finally did is we even got served water. The food deserves a second round, but I'll be ordering it through DoorDash if I'm ever back in Houston. I wouldn't go back in person again just to deal with that hostess. read more

I came in on the 4th day of their soft opening week and of course it was busy! We checked in for a party of 10 without a reservation and waited about 35 minutes to be seated. They had to sit us on the patio outside to accommodate our party. They give champagne to sip on while you wait in the lobby area and they do have some seating while you wait. The restaurant inside has a tropical oasis vibe with velvet, gold and marble. Great color combinations in the decor. Once we were seated, we were greeted immediately by our server. It did not take too long for them to take our orders. They also have a hookah menu as well. (Side bar: they have an insanely priced space bear hookah that is over $100. I can't imagine spending that just for a hookah, don't need to be on that type of wasteful flex.) They opened the patio sliding doors so we could hear the music and still feel like we were a part of the atmosphere. Service was great up until the food actually came.... The food started to come out about 45 minutes after we ordered. They brought it out in the order of who ordered first, but some items were missing from our orders. I was in the bathroom when my food had arrived and apparently they switched my fries with someone else's order. I had ordered the Steakhouse Slider Trio and Truffle fries. They switched my fries with someone else's House fries. When I noticed the error, I immediately let the waiter know and asked for my replacement of the fries I was supposed to have. One friend had ordered wings and Brussels sprouts; she had only received the sprouts and missing her wings. Another friend ordered the salmon dish and was missing her whole meal. The waiter apologized and said he will have it out as soon as possible, and still 30+ minutes later, nothing came! The two of them said forget it and told them to cancel the order. I, however, wanted my fries I ordered to go with my burgers. After 30 minutes, I asked for the manager to make her aware that I still didn't have the fries I ordered. I was told several times over an hour that they were working on it. By that time, my burgers were cold and I was very angry with their slow service on correcting their errors. It does not take an hour for them to cook fries! On top of that, the sliders themselves were not that great. I ate one of them initially before I noticed my fries were incorrect. The meat tasted like a frozen patty. It did not have any flavor or seemed like fresh meat. They looked nice, but tasted bland. The house fries had a Cajun seasoning. I tasted my truffle fries (that were given to someone else) and they were bomb! That made me even more upset lol. That my good fries went to someone else and they were the best thing I tasted all night and it took them over an hour to get my fries corrected! Friends had already started to close out their checks and leave the table by the time those fries had arrived. At that point, I asked for a manager to comp my fries. I really don't like typically coming on the opening week of a restaurant because more than likely it's not going to be a smooth service and they're still working out kinks. I can't give grace for taking over an hour to remake some fries. read more

Overall I enjoyed this spot. The ambiance is top tier, decor and vibes were really good. The music was good, they have hookah you can do on the patio, the bar is spacious. The bartender was good. I forgot his name but he's a comedian and did not disappoint on making me laugh. They are still in their soft opening so the menu wasn't extensive but offered good options. I ordered the lamb Rockefeller and Brussel sprouts. The food came out fast, plated nice. I've had better lamb chops but they weren't bad just on the small side. The "Rockefeller" gave more watery spinach dip vibes. The sprouts were mid as well. My drinks were excellent! read more
