Now THIS is a speakeasy. I had no idea that I was going to get this experience when coming to…read moreHouston, but I couldn't be happier. The origami ceiling, lively bar, friendly staff, unique cocktails, fun bathroom, and photo booth in the corner made for an unforgettable experience. My friend said it was the busiest he had ever seen the place, and it was loud. But we got some awesome drinks that I swore I could've taken pics of -- the lighting was a little crazy, so I think I ultimately changed my mind with that. One was the periscope which was a refreshing and summery gin drink... And I think I tried the naked and famous too because I like mezcal. I had already eaten so I skipped the restaurant the speakeasy's connected to, but I cannot wait to return to Houston outside of a Con so I can really go all out on exploring. It was an amazing way to end my first night!

I ordered the Side to the Sun Rises (gin, yuzu, mint, cucumber) which was light, refreshing, and well balanced. I would recommend it if you enjoy gin-based cocktails with a slightly fruity flavor. My friends really enjoyed their drinks as well. They have all day happy hour on Sundays/Mondays. We did not get a chance to try the food, but the menu looked great. Overall, a fun spot with great vibes and definitely worth checking out!

Don't forget to grab dessert next door before heading home!

The restaurant is low lit and they have a gelato spot right next door. We dined for dinner so it was 3 courses. First was the shrimp & calamari and meatballs. The meatballs lacked seasoning and only were good with the sauce. The shrimp and calamari id get again but hopefully only rings are an option. For the entree I had chicken parm which was perfectly cooked. It came with a side pasta that was good initially but didn't reheat well. My mom tried the crabmeat tortellini the sauce was a bit too rich and under seasoned so she was able to swap for the bolognese. My pistachio gelato was perfect for dessert. The hazelnut flourless cake was also a hit. Personally I feel like it's a hit or miss depending on what item you get.

I'm going to give this place five stars which I rarely do but let me tell you why. The service was…read moregood. It wasn't amazing but it was good. The food came in a very timely matter the waitress and anyone working there seem to be very nice and respectable. The ambience is giving very sexy mode, not rowdy, but you can tell this is definitely a hang out spot for adults. It is dark in there they do have table lamps, but I love it. My child did come with so this kid friendly. The food was definitely a nine out of 10 And not so much of just the taste I'm factoring in the presentation as well. The sticky rice was amazing. I mean the shrimp had the perfect type of heat mind you I did Houston restaurant week. So I got three course meal for $39. My first course was the sticky rice 9.5 out of 10 My second course was the fried chicken smothered with gravy and mushroom mashed potatoes and kale greens .. I'm gonna give it a eight out of 10 because I did not like the mushrooms. This gravy wasn't seasoned very well, but it was still very good. My last course was the brownie and oh my God it was absolutely delicious I think that was like my favorite part. I really wanted to order another brownie because it was really good. Overall, I have to get this place at nine out of 10. I'm definitely coming back to try some other meals.

Ok, I've came here before for brunch many moons ago. It was actually when Kobe Bryant died in the…read morehelicopter crash :( So it was long overdue to come back to try their dinner. I was definitely disappointed. It was HRW 2025 but we didn't order off the HRW menu. We ordered the tomato and basil flatbread (added chicken as an upcharge) and the mini burger sliders. The flatbread was decent. However, the mini burger sliders were gross. It was delivered to us cold and seemed old. So we sent it back and got another flatbread. We also added the Brussels sprouts without the Blue Cheese; that was ok. I ordered the Tequila Sunrise and honestly should have sent it back. It wasn't good, didn't taste any of the watermelon-it was mostly bitter. Our server was ok. We asked the veteran discount and instead of saying I'm not sure, it was an instant no. When my friend stated that the Woodlands location honors veteran discount, she went to ask, I'm assuming the manager and it was honored. So does this location honor veteran discounts or what????????????????? Parking lot is available, valet is tips based and a nearby garage is accessible. Probably would not come back at all for dinner. I'll just stick to the brunch.

The food was good, and the atmosphere was very nice. I genuinely enjoyed those aspects of my…read moreexperience. Unfortunately, the parking situation was such a major turnoff that I will not be returning. There is both self-parking and valet, yet you have to pay to park either way--$20. What made it even more frustrating was watching cars leave the parking lot and seeing the parking attendants immediately place cones in the newly available spaces. I drove around looking for a spot and was eventually directed by a parking attendant to park in a space that actually belonged to another business in the shopping center. Despite not even parking in the restaurant's designated area, I was still charged $20. The entire parking setup left a very negative impression and, from a customer's perspective, came across as excessive and greedy. It's unfortunate because the food was good, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and I make a point of supporting local businesses. However, paying $20 just to park--especially under these circumstances--is enough to keep me from returning.

Again, very very generous portion served with mashed potato on the side. There was very a nice smoke flavor to the steaks, but the restaurant could have minimized their burnt parts (my personal preference) their complimentary dessert was this peanut shaped pastry that tasted very much like a kitkat! restroom was 10/10, they even had mints and bobby pins in the ladies for your emergency :)) overall, perfect pick for date nights and fancy business dinner meetings. Staff were very attentive, customers dressed to nines, so come in your best outfits :))

WOW! Everything from the food to the service was top tier!…read more We came for a girls' night on a Thursday to try their $25 duck fat fries and steak deal. For the 4 of us, we shared: - 2 steak & duck fat fries orders - 1 chopped caesar salad The caesar salad is one of the best in Houston. I knew they meant business when I saw the shape of the grated parmesan cheese (fresh off the block), the chives for garnish, and the perfect lettuce to dressing ratio (the dressing is made in-house, they include a few whole anchovies which blend in really well!) When our steak and duck fat fries came out, we thought the portions looked pretty small, but it was actually very filling. About halfway into eating the 2 orders split among the 4 of us, we considered getting another, but quickly changed our minds. Those duck fat fries creep up on you! The duck fat fries were so delicious, thickly cut, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. Dipping it in the steak juice and melted herb butter on your plate is the way to go! For our dips, we got the chili aioli and avocado ranch. The chili aioli tasted like any other spicy mayo to me, but I loved the avocado ranch for cutting the richness of the meal! The herb butter on the steak was very tasty. The steak itself was solid, nothing crazy, but you can only order it cooked medium. The parking can be rough, especially if you're not used to parking in the city. They have their own lot, but it fills up quickly, so you may have to look for nearby garages. The ambiance was perfect for a girls' night, the decor really made it feel like a New York speakeasy, and the photo booth was so HD! They do not take reservations for the dining area in the evening, so we ended up waiting an hour for the 4 of us. Definitely swing by when you're not in a rush!

We ordered a few items off the happy hour menu anddd they were disappointing. The espresso martini was uninspiring and too bitter.
