    One the specials they were offering, with Filet Mignon, lobster tail, & Crab Cakes Bite ball with some peppercorn brandy sauce.

    Service was good, Food was delicious, & the ambience is great. Definitely recommend this place. One of the few place with good Italian food.

    Surf & Turf Special

    Came here for a company team dinner and it exceeded all our expectations! Each of us ordered a different entree. We had several appetizers, and finished the night with desserts. All the food was delicious! From the homemade bread & oil, to the meatballs, calamari, and lamb. It was 10/10. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The chocolate cake was divine! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Odessa. The lighting is dark, but other than that, very pleasant experience.

    This was our first time at Flair and we were very impressed! Our server Chris was great and gave great recommendations! All the food was very good. It was my Birthday and they even brought me a chocolate cake with a sparkler! This place is so fancy and we loved it!

    I've tried this place many times, trying to like it but after this last time, I will not be back. This food is veryyyy mediocre for a "high end restaurant", there was no ac on a 100° weather day, the bathrooms were disgusting with no hand soap. Lastly, I have a 11 month old that I needed to change, the bathroom did not have a changing station for babies, when I asked the guys at the front desk they said they would check another section for me (I had no idea he actually meant a section), he came back and walked me over to a section closed off with booths and chairs piled up and told me I could change her on a booth.. next to the kitchen. I am confused because, there is nothing on the website stating children aren't allowed therefore not having accommodations for them.

    Chicken Marsala
    Barbara O.

    Overall an amazing experience! The food was superb, best we've had at an Italian restaurant. Very upscale establishment. We chose an appetizer each, Mediterranean mussels, lobster bisque, hubby picked the lamb, and I the chicken Marsala. The lobster bisque didn't have chunks but I couldn't tell by the flavor. So yummy! The sauce for the mussels was exquisite. Hubby said the lamb was cooked to perfection. My chicken was tender and moist. The Marsala sauce was just amazing. Waitstaff came around every few minutes to fill our waters. Just an amazing date lunch all around! Reasonably priced for the service and quality of food.

    Yes, yes, YASSSSSS!!!!! This is NOT the same restaurant that we went to when they first opened. Someone's fairy godmother came in and turned that hot mess into a five star treasure hidden in the heart of Odessa! Before, I was whispering to my husband constantly to get me out of here. Tonight, I do not want to leave and closing time is going to be rough on the staff when they have to evict me from this booth! We loved the filet mignon with the house salad and the mashed potatoes, carrot, and asparagus. Well, it was my husband's but we shared everything in the end! I ordered the tortellinis and that was one heavenly dish! Usually a restaurant portion of tortellini is small but this was massive and sinful with the wine sauce. He also did a half glass of the moscato and loved it. We finished dinner with the cannolis and the berries and cream. Dessert was EPIC! They look like simple dishes but, yeah, they were incredible! It was so good that, oh yeah, my husband got down on one knee and asked me to marry him again because he still loves me despite me having cancer and wants to show that.

    Calamari Fritto Misto
    Una A.

    Cute spot in the middle of Odessa! The new management/owners really transformed this place. The decor is fun and fits the upscale vibe. We came for lunch, but it looks like they offer live music on the weekends. There's a stage inside. I'm sure it gets really loud since it's within an intimate space. We got seated right away. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The menu has a lot to offer from steak, seafood, pizzas and pasta. Towards the higher end in price, even for lunch. We got our drinks quickly. Warm rolls with olive oil dip to follow. We had a calamari appetizer and Caesar salad to start. Calamari was great. Comes with shrimp and veggies. A white and a red sauce. Serving size was meek considering the price. The Caesar salad was crisp and refreshing. I wonder if they make their own dressing as there's a smokiness to it unlike others I've had. Still yummy. I had the lobster risotto, which is intended to be a side, but I wanted to keep it light. Hubby got the lobster ravioli. My risotto was rich, creamy, and buttery. I couldn't even finish it. It's full of grilled tomato and asparagus, along with pieces of lobster. It can definitely stand on its own without a main. The lobster ravioli was great too. It comes with shrimp too. Only thing I would say is that the ravioli and the sauce did not marry together. It seems like the sauce was placed on top after as you can see the paleness of the ravioli. Would have liked it to be sautéed together so the ravioli could soak up that sauce. It also looks strange eating a bare piece of boiled ravioli. All in all, the flavors were there. I couldn't finish my risotto so asked for a box to go. Our waitress boxed it up for us, which was nice. But when we got the tab, it looks like you get charged $2 for that service. I could've handled boxing it myself had I been aware of the fee. Just a head's up for those grabbing your items to go! Would come back. Especially for the live music. Maybe not as frequently considering the tab.

    French onion soup

    Best 'nice' dinner in Odessa and puts some of the nicer spots in Midland to shame. We've been here several times. I've found the lamb to be among the best I've ever had, so I stick with that. My wife usually orders a pasta dish and its always excellent. You can tell that everything is made in house and I appreciate that they put effort into making a plate that looks good as well as tastes great. From appetizers to desert, everything is hard not to eat 'just one more bite' of. We've had a different waiter every time, and they all have been friendly, attentive and quick to answer menu questions or even go back to the kitchen if they don't know the answer off hand. It makes me happy something like this is in Odessa and even happier to see it packed on a Friday night.

    This place is a must try! The outside doesn't look like much, but once you step inside it's a vibrant and modern experience. All of the staff I encountered were cordial and polite. Most of all, the food was exquisite. Every dish I had was amazing. Definitely a hidden gem in Odessa.

    Been here multiple times with my wife, and it is good every time. I would avoid the flatbreads, but everything else is great.

    Lack of options for pescatarians or vegetarians or anyone with a shrimp allergy…read more Waitstaff and hostesses have serious lack of awareness of needs of customers and would constantly interrupt intimate and private conversations to be pushy about ordering, asking for menus, asking about drink refills or if we needed something when we just got drinks or just got food and drinks. The server was also rude when my husband got his steak and kept trying to insist on her cutting into my husband's steak herself to check to see if it was properly cooked to his requested temperature when she wasn't wearing any gloves and we had just watched her finally clear several truly disgusting tables covered in gross leftover food that had been left out for almost an hour while she and the hostess kept pestering us and interrupting our conversation. When my husband said he would cut into his own steak, instead of her doing so with her unwashed dirty hands, she had the audacity to roll her eyes. The only true option for me on the menu was the caprese salad, which included 4 of the smallest basil leaves I've ever seen, 6 thin slices of mozzarella, and 5 slices of tomato that didn't even add up to have of a large tomato, drizzled with balsamic with a side of more Italian dressing than I had food that cost me $15. My husband ordered an $11 glass of Villa M Moscato and was brought a gigantic wine glass but was poured less than half a glass of wine. He ordered a steak, medium rare, and received a steak smaller than my tiny palm, likely 4-5oz, that was closer to rare, with 2 asparagus, 1/3 cup mashed potatoes (very dry), and a "mixed salad" of 1/4 cup greens with 4 cherry tomatoes and the same large side of Italian dressing that I received. Even our water glasses were tiny and close to 6 oz. We received barely any food and felt rushed and like they didn't want us there, despite having a reservation hours before closing and being sat in an almost empty back room, and paid $80 post tax and tip to leave hungry and annoyed. Will definitely never go back and 0/10 highly do NOT recommend to anyone who likes food or to feel welcomed where they are going to eat or spend money.

    $30 ribeye- lowest quality ever. Came w side salad (pictured below) 3 potato slices and 2…read moreasparagus- not a steak snob, but know low quality when I taste it.... :(.
