    Dirty martini + Up in Smoke
    Cami K.

    Arrived a bit early for our 7pm Saturday reservation, so we sat ourselves...but our bartender/server, Ryan, greeted us warmly and immediately began taking care of us. He made a few recommendations and seemed extremely knowledgeable about each drink. We ended up going with a dirty martini, perfectly made, and the Up in Smoke. Both were delicious. Bonus points for the Up in Smoke table presentation!! To start, we ordered the wagyu meatballs with spicy marinara (actually spicy) and a garden salad. We chose to split the Mike & Jen entree, best seller, but we thought it was just OK. May have been the capers, which we are not a fan of. Atmosphere and ambiance were incredible and shout out to Carter for the attentiveness to our table. Overall, we enjoyed this experience and would recommend this spot. Ryan steered us in the right direction for any beverage, and food option, we appreciated his knowledge! Thank you for taking care of us!

    I loved this! It was nice and cozy. There was music playing and the decor was pretty awesome. The bartender made us a signature drink to sample, it tasted like fall and was very smooth. They have a variety of drinks to choose from or they can make anything from the bar in the room. We also ordered from the menu. The stars of the night were: 1.Spinach and artichoke dip-it was cheesy and creamy and the bread was warm and seasoned with garlic and rosemary. 2.Short ribs and risotto-the perfect combination of sweet, creamy and savory. The meat is tender and the sauce is sweet. 3.Gooey butter cake- it wasn't really gooey but it was warm and not too sweet. And the ice cream made it even better. It was the perfect end of the meal.

    This was my HRW#3 for 2017 and it certainly did not disappoint. The owner, Adrian, is obviously passionate about the place. The decor is very cool - warm, inviting with a true 'old-school' charm. Anna - the GM -- is so sweet and remembered my name the entire night, which was pretty impressive. I started with the parm oysters - delicious. For my entree I had the pork belly, which was absolutely wonderful - perfectly cooked and portioned. Creme Brulee for dessert was wonderful. After seeing the carrot cake, I wished that I had gotten it -- it was beyond words good! Also, don't forget the craft cocktails This is a very great bet for the Pearland area and I would highly recommend it.

    Up in Smoke.  It's dark in the room, but the drink is too.  Smokey, but flavorful. An easy contender for my favorite cocktail.

    I've heard the legend of the Noble Experiment for some time. I've been wanting to go for a minute, and this week was finally that time. My companion and I arrived around 7:30. Grazia was jam packed, luckily, the Experiment was not. We entered the waiting area and were escorted to our table. The atmosphere in the Experiment is completely different than that of the restaurant itself. It's cozy, with a chill ambience. A much more personal vibe. The decor was quite interesting. Robert was taking care of us for the evening. He did a fantastic job. He took time to discuss the cocktails and food with us. He didn't rush us, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. We started with cocktails. I went with the Up in Smoke. This bourbon wonder was actually created by Robert, our wait staff. So good that I started and finished with this drink. It is strong, but quite tastey. A very good sipping drink. We had jumbo scallops with risotto as an appetizer. The scallops were cooked perfectly. Slightly browned on the outside, perfectly balanced on the inside. Not too dry, not too wet. The risotto was delicious. For my second cocktail I had The Aviation. It was also good, a lot different than The Up in Smoke but still very good. I had the Chicken Limon. It came with whipped potatoes. It was quite tastey. I think I would've enjoyed it more with risotto or another kind of potato, but it was good. Neither of us ended​ up finishing our dinner as the appetizer was quite filling. Didn't do dessert, so I'll update again if I try that. It is a little pricey, but you get what you're paying for. The food is fantastic, the drinks are tastey and strong, the ambience is super chill, and many folks don't know about it. Great for date night, or just a chill spot to hang out with a small group for drinks and good company.

    Chocolate butter cake
    Catherine L.

    We had so much fun! The atmosphere is super chill, and we loved the dark walls and the lighting. There were reasonably priced bottles of wine and lots of fun cocktail options. The lasagna egg rolls were a great idea; they are meatballs and mozzarella deep fried, and that's just a genius thing. My husband got a creamy chicken soup that was incredibly rich. We could have had about 1/4 the amount and been satisfied. I ordered the scallop appetizer with risotto and a side of asparagus. It was all good, and the asparagus was screaming hot. I swirled it around in the sauce from the scallops, and they should put that on the menu. My husband got the robusto pizza. So good. We finished up with the chocolate butter cake, and even though we were already uncomfortably full, we finished that, too.

    The place is really nice, beautifully decorated. The ambience is very intimate. The drinks are great, we had a mezcal mule and an old fashion whiskey. The waiters and bartenders are super courteous and attentive. The food is of course really good, it's the same as in Grazia. We had the chicken marsala and the seafood pasta with spicy sauce. Our fav dish was the chicken marsala. They also serve some bread with oil that is delicious. The creme brûlée is amazing! The only thing is that they never sent me the secret code and I had to ask for it at the reception, which took away the fun part a little bit. Also, I would love to see some food items different from Grazia to make the experience more exclusive. But I highly recommend the place and I will go back for sure.

    Fried Red snapper over risotto rice with crab topping. Also beef rib Mac and cheese.

The service was stellar. I ordered a dish from the from the lunch menu and for most dishes, you get a choice of protein -- pork, chicken, tofu, veggie (all $13), filet mignon or shrimp (both $14). I got the Pad Prik King" with filet mignon - a stir fried dish with bell peppers and green beans in a chili paste. My husband ordered "Cashew" with chicken - it included cashews, carrots, bell pepper, onion and dried peppers. Both entrees came with a veggie egg roll. (pics attached). I wasn't a fan of my dish but my husband liked his. I did really like the egg roll. I think I'll give this place another chance but will get something different. Also, I'll get chicken next time. The filet lacked flavor.

The green curry was the typical green curry you would find at a thai place, I would go hotter as even the 4 was a little mild. The shrimp and scallops were very tasty but the scallops were definitely on the smaller side. Overall we got out of here for around 58 pre tip/tax. The service and taste of everything was amazing but the curry was lacking in chicken which brought the 5 stars to a 4 stars. Definitely would come back though!

    Mongo What really impressed me was the service…read more Sofia was really helpful and understanding. They worked as a smooth team incase the one who was helping you was busy and you needed something sorted. I would give 10 if it was possible. Food on the other hand, for a vegetarian- only the Karma bowl for an entree. Its like you choose your grains, ur veges, and sauce and they will put it all together over heat and give you. Mine was ok and I probably could have added a lot of veges as my bowl was only 1/2 full. It is one price for one bowl, irrespective of how much of what you add. Taste wise, it was ok as I had no idea how much of sauce would go into it or the spice level. The second order was vegetable roll. We asked for a little customized version of excluding mushrooms. They brought it with 'kanpyo' instead and forgot the carrots First of all kanpyo looks like mushroom and didn't have the faintest idea that they were very different things , secondly carrots were no where to be seen. When called to enquire, they apologized and took back the order without a minute's hesitation and made a fresh batch made with no mushroom no kanpyo and carrots included. Appreciated that very much. Food wise summery, the bowl or the roll. I definitely preferred the roll and when soaked in sriracha, it exploded in my mouth with flavors. The first one just fell into sriracha by mistake and got drenched, after I tasted that I drowned the next ones in myself...... The place is maintained spotless and the bar was filled to capacity at 5 pm. They do have TV with closed captions . Very limited vegetarian options but you won't go hungry.

Our server was awesome, drinks were inexpensive, and the instructions for filling the bowls for the grill were very clearly posted and easy to understand. My constructed bowlful had fried rice, shrimp, sausage, dark meat chicken, lots of veggies, and a couple sauces, and was delicious. My husband opted for the house fried rice (no Mongolian grill for him) and was equally happy with his choice. We loved it so much we're hoping to get back there while we're still in town. If not, we'll be back on our next visit!

While my bartender was initially slow with service, she did attempt to improve toward the end of my visit. My tab from that evening reflects multiple charges (approximately $45.00), and notes were left reflecting my experience. My primary concern involves the manager on duty. Due to heavy rain, I politely requested to exit through the side door closest to my parked vehicle. I had already remained inside for over an hour waiting for the rain to subside and ordered an additional drink simply to wait it out. The manager informed me that if I attempted to exit through the side door, she would physically confront me. When I later attempted to leave, I first tried exiting through the front entrance but was met with severe rainfall that would have left me completely soaked. I then proceeded toward the side exit. At that point, the manager physically grabbed me and forcefully threw me to the ground while it was actively raining. There is absolutely no circumstance under which a manager should place their hands on a guest or use physical force. As a result of this incident, I am experiencing physical pain, specifically in my elbow and hip. I also felt attacked, unsafe, and humiliated. The physical and emotional impact of this incident has been significant. I have videos and photographs documenting the weather conditions and related circumstances and am requesting an immediate and thorough review of this matter, including all available surveillance footage and witness statements. I expect prompt follow-up regarding how this incident will be addressed. What occurred was not only unprofessional but poses serious concerns regarding staff conduct, guest safety, and liability. Its been weeks and my finger is still swollen. My lawyer is working . Sincerely,Lynn W.
