A perfect ambiance enhancer: Perhaps I'll contribute Edith Piaf's CD including "La vie en rose," to Madame. At any rate, Wife liked the dish with one small exception: the Balsamic Glaze liberally drizzled across the top. I was surprised to find this addition to the dish, but the ingredient is not that unusual for a French Breakfast condiment, given the following "rules:" Use sparingly: A teaspoon or two is enough to brighten flavors without overpowering. Choose quality: Aged balsamic has a sweeter, syrupy texture ideal for fruit; standard balsamic works well for savory dishes. Pairings: Works beautifully with basil, black pepper, honey, ricotta, yogurt, tomatoes, and stone fruits The balsamic did not prevent her from inhailing the dish, nor did it discourage our dog from licking the dish.

Service was fantastic with our server (Will) being very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and food arrived quickly and were fantastic - the drinks were on point, the food ample in quantity and flavorful in taste. The Fudgy Brownie was divine! Well-done!

[EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.

I had never visited an Indian fusion restaurant before until I came here, but now I see why they…read moreare so highly rated. My entire experience from start to finish was just perfect and well executed by the staff. I made reservations since I wasn't sure how difficult it would be to get a table. Upon entering....the restaurant only seemed half full but by the time I left, nearly every table was full. We were actually seated in a decent spot toward the rear of one section at a 2 top so it was nice and quiet. We started off with the oyster appetizer which seemed strange but turned out to be actually really good. The oysters were probably the east coast variety as they're visually smaller and better quality than gulf oysters. They seemed more steamed than roasted. I prefer chargrilled when cooking them but this was definitely an interesting take on an oyster appetizer that I'm glad I tried. For the entrees, we tried the filet with eggplant fritters and the Chilean seabass. Filet - this is a 6oz portion from Gourmet Ranch, but very tasty, cooked perfectly and of course tender. It seemed to be prepared with a dry indian spice rub. The menu didn't indicate it, but the filet already comes with the truffle mashed potatoes and you can choose 1 additional side. The eggplant fritters were very tasty, especially when dipping them in the red sauce. Note: The menu indicates you receive a choice of sauces with your steak (madras curry or kashmiri chili chimichurri) but the waitress didn't ask and just brought the chimichurri, which isn't spicy. I probably would have selected that one anyway. Seabass - The seabass was definitely on the smaller side but it had a nice presentation. It comes with an orangish sauce, asked for it on the side, which we felt was similar to the curry gravy you receive at Malaysian restaurants when ordering the roti canai. I already had dessert plans somewhere else, so I didn't get a chance to see Amrina's dessert menu, but I would definitely return and try it on a future visit. There were no issues whatsoever the entire night. Everything was timed perfectly, everything tasted delicious, but this all comes at a cost. Mine was around 100/pp on this given night and that's with no alcohol.

To be honest, when I made the reservation we didn't reserve anything with the tapas menu but we went with it. We were sat near the bar giving us the view of the kitchen and asked to check out the menus. I did the vegetarian tapas and my husband did the non vegetarian tapas. I absolutely love Indian street food so this worked out. In order we recieved: Pani puri - the puris were crunchy, had some spice and the passionfruit topping was adding the tangy spice, delicious! It also had avocado and fruit which is so unique. Presentation was picture worthy! Papidi chaat- not one of my favorites but tasted pretty usual, I enjoyed the yogurt also giving it some tang. Bhel puri- tasted like your typical bhel puri but the topping placed on the top was very unique- made it seem a little more high end. Pok pok po - the presentation was very unique- I almost didn't understand the dog statue as seen in my photo but the food was still good! But I also learned that the chef has another sister restaurant downtown called Pok Pok Po mainly Indian style chicken. Paneer wrap- had some heat! The chutney was a good addition to the wrap Birthday chai bomb- there was a chocolate ball where you pour hot chai on top and it was delicious! Choice of popsicle- the last item- at this point we were extremely full, I picked the passion fruit popsicle and it was fresh and delicious! The presentation again didn't really make any sense to me. Overall- the tasting menu was actually a really good surprise and delicious! I wound highly recommend! The staff were great, the chef brought us one item and introduced himself- definetly felt like a special night.
