It was and still is the perfect place to "WINE"-down and grab an delicious appetizer. Perfect to visit if solo, on a date, or with friends or colleagues after work. This quaint lounge setting offers bar seating, high top tables, lounge and booth seating, as well as patio seating overlooking a the beautiful tree-lined street. They also offer a separate room to host meetings or parties. Appetizers are delicious - I ordered their fried pickles and spinach dip. Just enough to hit the spot. For my cocktail, I selected the a classic apple martini (I know, "who still drinks those still?" Lol...I do...nothing wrong with a classic dahling). Great times and worth the check out. Right "upstairs" from Hungry's, this place is a great spot to chill. Self parking is limited, however they do offer valet. No street parking. Enjoy!

The service stood out right away, very welcoming and friendly, and the food came out extremely fast, which was a plus. As for the food, it was decent overall. The wings had good flavor, but the ranch was a bit watery and could definitely use more seasoning. The onion rings were also good, just needed a little extra seasoning to really bring them up a notch. Overall, it's a solid spot for happy hour with good prices, generous portions, and great service.

We met up for a girls dinner on the patio and those of us who are into sports, appreciated that they had the March madness games on. I did the Oak & Agave cocktail and it was delicious! I'm not a huge fan of sweet drinks, and this one was perfect. The mole bitters were yummy. I did the crab crusted red fish and it was perfectly cooked. The service was fine, however several of us had issues with our individual bills. I had ordered a second cocktail that never came out, but was on my bill. Unfortunately, we didn't leave any room for dessert, but I see myself coming back.

I wanted to make my daughter's first birthday as special as possible and Nicholle understood my vision 1000%! I contacted other vendors but some were priced higher, some didn't understand how important the right color was to the theme. Sculpted Air is a new business and didn't have any reviews but I'm glad I made the right choice and chose them. Nicholle is professional and great at communicating with me and keeping me up to date. She's also a new mom to a baby and understands how special this was for me and did her absolute best on the project. I asked for a Berry theme and she even made paper machê strawberries to add to the ballon arch. My guests all commented on how real the strawberries looked. Most backdrops are made of flimsy materials but Nicholle made a custom wood arch for my party. She really put her heart into it and it shows! I am looking forward to seeing Nicholle's small business thrive and become successful! She absolutely deserves it!

The furniture has been selected and arranged very painstakingly. There were some nice attention to details I really appreciated. I don't think there was a single bad seat in the room. The bar itself isn't very large, but it's comfortable and served as a great listening room for the evening. Everyone enjoyed their delicious cocktails. Service was very slow as there was only one bartender most of the time, and the poor guy was trying his best to make drinks and deliver hot food out. Finally some staff showed up to help him. I sampled a few of my friend's fries, and they had an awesome flavor but could have used more crispness. Not really my crowd or scene, but it's worth a look if you happen to be in the area.

It is not just jazz, but there are certainly many great jazz concerts here. I have seen Thomas Helton organize a recreation of the Miles Davis Nonent. Playing The Birth of the Cool from beginning to end. That has been one of my favorite concerts I have been to in Houston. I have also seen some benefit concerts and auctions that are always great fun. The vibe here is great. There are two levels. Tables scatterd on the first floor, and a balcony on the second with more tables and a bar. Often when I come, the place is packed, and people make a seat on the stairs. Which is actually pretty comfortable. Great seats throughout, and awesome acoustics. A hidden gem in the Rice Village area, and one of my favorite places to see a show.

The second floor patio had us in awe when we sipped away during the day watching hummingbirds suckle on fresh nectar from the flowers in bloom. The more quaint room off to the left with the original Andy Warhol Art has to be my favorite. The designer must of had me in mind when selecting the pieces, because they spoke to my heart. The provided musical playlists pretty much encompassed my entire collection of favorite songs in my entire lifetime. The ambiance couldn't be any better, and the care taken when cleaning the barware is superb. Lastly, parting ways with an Evian in hand is the icing on the already perfectly moist and delicious cake. I will be back, time and time again. Cheers!
