We came in before the dinner rush so I was able to enjoy and explore the place. They even have board games and arcade pacman and our favourite mini hand held Tetris and Space Invaders. Now the food! Not a lot on the menu but everything is good. I had the shroom burger and I loved it. It was so good I finished that burger, which I have a hard time eating anything up. Hubby and kids enjoyed their meal as well, they've been a few times. Service was great and Ember is the best! It was the best mushroom burger I've ever had and thank you to the cook who made it!

What an odd experience we had here. We were doing some…read moreshopping and wanted lunch. Typical wine bar atmosphere. When we walked in we were told to sit anywhere which is fine, so we picked a table. The waiter was friendly, told us the way around the menu and advised us on wine/drink options. We are not drinkers so we ordered Diet cokes. The waiter came back around and was ready for our order, but we hadn't made a choice so we asked for a few more minutes. This is where it starts getting strange. We were chitchatting when the owner passed by our table and said something along the lines of "the table is empty", and she rushed off. A few fingers were pointed our way from the bar making us feel pretty uncomfortable. Then a random lady walked by and asked if we had seen our waiter. We told her we asked him for a few more minutes to look over the menu, she walked away. The owners were at the bar and the lady went back to them. Much more obvious finger pointing our direction... The female owner walked up to the table and asked if we were going to be eating, and we told her yes but we had asked for more time. We went ahead and placed our very simple order with her. A Cobb salad for me and a Caesar for my sister. Our waiter stopped back by the table and apologized, he had stepped out to take a phone call. He was given very bad news on the call and we told him to take his time with us, we were in no hurry. Many more glares from the bar and fingers being pointed our way... Then the food was brought out. My sisters salad was a very basic caesar, mine had a few more toppings including chicken. The chicken on mine was horrendous, it tasted like a frozen breast popped in the microwave the day before and left out over night. It was so bad I spit it into my napkin. I pushed the chicken to the side and ate the lettuce and few toppings. We got our ticket, paid and left. I don't think we will be returning. I sure hope that waiter still has a job. The staff seemed to be on his butt. When he would walk around and move a chair, someone would walk behind him and "fix" it. He never did come back to our table and I'm guessing he was pulled off for no good reason at all. It seemed like the staff had an issue with us just being there for a simple lunch and not wine. Just an odd uncomfortable situation.

Notes is a cute little wine bar/tasting room that also seems to host live music in the later afternoon or evenings as they have a little stage, seating and some instruments laying around. We had a few glasses of some delicious and refreshing wine as we chatted with the attentive and lovely young lady who was there. Notes is a cute little place and we will be returning in the future to see what else they have to offer.

We sat at the bar because it was packed with Woodlands families hosting big events (teen birthdays, etc). It's good we did so we could hear each other. The place is really loud and all the hard surfaces amplify the sound. Worth a visit and make a reservation if you can!

It was a nice atmosphere. But some of the food did disappoint. We dropped over $120 for 3 people…read moreand only one person got a $4 glass of wine (just water for the rest). No deserts. And one person didn't even get a main entree (just appetizer). Fried chicken and Caviar: the caviar was just specs (see pic). Couldn't taste much less see it. Prosciutto: just 3 teeny tiny slices for $6 (see pic). That's $2 a slice. Ricotta cheese was a better buy Steaks: the prime steak comes slice and with sauce. But the filet mignon for a few bucks more was definitely a better buy. I think it's a great place to just socialize and drink wine even though they don't have any happy hour specials ever per waiter. They have over 60 types and on tap I think she said. For us not being wine drinkers it was probably not a place we'd come back to just for the food

The not so favorites, make sure that you park in the back as the entrance is there. The staff wasn't super great. There were probably only a total of four couples and two of those couples were at the bar. I wish we would've sat at the bar because the bartenders seemed to be way more into the experience than our server. And the price is super expensive for what you're getting. Overall it was a good experience but definitely not something we would go to on a regular basis. Certainly niche for a speakeasy.

5 stars all the way for location, vibe, food, and service. A tad shocked though, as to how pricey…read moreit all got in the end - essentially a drink (cocktail and beer)-sandwich - dessert meal for two costing $92, including tax and tip. Ordered Prickly Pear Mezcal margarita, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing light IPA beer, cup of Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Caprese Panini on Focaccia bread with Herbed Fries, West Coaster Panini (Ham, Avocado, Arugula) on Ciabatta bread with Herbed Fries, and a Coffee Fudgy Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream to go. 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! As I mention above, the final tally was a bit shocking. Otherwise, a great place to hang out; planning to return to avail of the Mon/Tue $25 Wine and Bruschetta Board special.

[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.
