The server I had was one of the best servers I have ever had, and my whole table was impressed. Latino man, honestly forgot his name. One note I will give people a heads up for is that there's really no entrees. People just get a bunch of appetizers. However, if you want an appetizer, the pasta is a good enough amount for a smaller meal and is surprisingly cheap and delicious.

They have a surprisingly sophisticated menu. It's curated (i.e. limited) but well selected. We had pumpkin arancini, the steak salad and pumpkin risotto (it's Fall obviously). Don't pass up the complimentary bread and olive oil dip - great bread dip with herbs and fried garlic. The pumpkin arancini was crispy outside and creamy and rich inside. The seasoning was perfect. The pumpkin puree smoosh was silky and rich. Very restrained garnish of parmesan shreds. Excellent! The risotto was the same as the arancini filling. Just delicious. To be honest it's more pumpkin than risotto, but I didn't care because it was so tasty. Lots of warm spices but not sweet. The steak salad was a definite must-order dish. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender. The greens were fresh and the gorgonzola crumbles were ample. Great dressing. Ask for a small side of their amazing gorgonzola cream sauce to dip your steak. If you are having wine, stick with the Library aged selections. They're more expensive but definitely worth it. Recommended.

My husband flagged down another waitress after we had been sitting there for 15 minutes without any water or drinks. We also had to flag her down for the check.

Escargot Stuffed Mushrooms- a bit tiny, but packed with buttery goodness. Entrees: A5 Wagyu Flat Iron- this was a special and it wasn't tender enough to cut with just a fork like I've experienced, but still pretty tender and very juicy. Seasoned perfect to eat by itself, but it came with 4 different restaurant-made steak sauces. Mesquite Smoked Short Ribs- very tender and can be torn to shreds with a fork. Comes with mash potatoes and gravy and some crispy noodles for texture. Very flavorful. Sides: Maple Bacon Pecan Brussel Sprouts- very delicious and flavorful. Smoked Mashed Potatoes- very thick and smokey, but delicious. Definitely need some water lol. Poblano Creamed Corn- my wife liked this, but I didn't care for that creamy corn texture lol. Dessert: Marie Antoinette Cake- chocolate mousse cake that was perfectly rich with some kind of raspberry or berry drizzle. Also came with these super delicious alcoholic infused strawberries that paired super well. Overall, it was a pricey dinner, but not as pricey as I thought. Definitely had a great time and worth the price and experience. The restaurant ambience was dim and cabin-like setting with lots of beautiful decor. Our waiter, Gabriel was super friendly and helpful. He recommended a lot of our dishes tonight. Lots of parking and they also offer complimentary valet services.

The poblano cream corn might be one of the best sides we've ever had. The key lime pie with the almond graham cracker crust was the perfect way to end it.

There's a large variety of wine to choose from, and my favorite of the day was the Tawny Port from the premium tasting (dangerously smooth.) The food was also better than expected. The hot honey flatbread was a big hit at our table, and the charcuterie paired really well with the wines. The amount of food was perfect for sharing and pacing yourself through the tastings. Staff was friendly, attentive, and happy to talk through the wines without being pushy...The whole place has that relaxed Texas country winery vibe, with cozy indoor and a nice patio outside. It was a cold winter night, so we mostly hung out in the tasting room, but next time I'd love to come back to do one of their vineyard tours.

Waited another 8-10mins for our server to show up. The 2 guys on the runway, served before us. My wife's steak burger ($25) was charred on the outside and had spots of bright pink meat in it.

Maybe I was too hungry but it honestly is one of my favorite Italian dishes I've tried and belongs in the "clean plate club" for me. The pasta itself with marinara was just okay, but it worked well with the chicken dish. The soup I ordered was a miss (minestrone) it didn't feel like it was fresh and more like a canned soup feel. We came on a late Saturday lunch, and the restaurant was fairly empty. The service was friendly, the waitress even moved some tables allowing our entire group to sit together. The restaurant has a bit of dated decor and lighting. Decent parking lot and there's a drive-thru option as well. The food was pretty good overall, surprising for me and I'd even rank it above several Italian spots I've been to in Houston.
