In my opinion, one of the important reasons Vinology is still here and also successful has to do…read morewith the fact that thinking outside the box and literally going the extra mile for a customer is valued. I experienced this side of the business during the early phase of the Covid pandemic back in 2020. At the time, during lockdown, going to a wine bar or wine shop just wasn't top of mind. However, I had researched a Cabernet Franc (red wine) called Nicolas Reau Enlèvement Demandé Anjou [Vintage year: 2017]. Reau is kind of a rebel working in the Loire Valley of France who is interested in producing organic, biodynamic wines that are essentially closer to nature and processed differently--more artisanal, so to speak. I read about this wine and wanted to find a bottle locally, which wasn't an easy task as I recall. This is where Vinology comes in. I'm not much of a wine drinker, but had to have a bottle of this excellent wine. Like many people, I preferred to stay indoors during the early part of the pandemic and was kind of nervous about going out. When I called Vinology, I expressed my dilemma, and the guy on the other end of the phone came up with a great solution. He offered to deliver the bottle of wine I purchased to my address. I actually met him at the edge of the garage entrance to where I live. This was great, exceptional above and beyond service. I will always treasure and remember Vinology and plan to support the business more in the future. Hats off to the folks who own and run this wine establishment.

VERY RUDE WORKERS! Don't give them your money. I only discovered this place because a very popular…read moreand incredible salsa instructor teaches here on Sundays (highly recommend him he is 'SalsaEddy'). Unfortunately, after one of my classes there, I forgot my shoes that I had changed out of and I called them to see if they could look and they were very rude and hung up on me because they simply said no we can't do that. So I quickly messaged the instructor, knowing his classes were still going on, and not long after he messaged me back a picture and said are these your shoes and I'm so happy he did that because I don't trust this place to have cared, but to also have even looked after the class was over. He kindly left it with the staff there and let me know so I called and they were very rude and snappy to say "Yes OK?! we have them". I was unable to go that following week to pick them up so I went a little over a week later and I just wanted to call to confirm they were still there and the person again was very rude and simply said "YES WE ALREADY TOLD YOU A WEEK AGO THEY WERE HERE AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE COME TO PICK THEM UP SO IF YOU DIDN'T THEN THEY MUST STILL BE HERE!" and hung up. Since I was making the commute out there in traffic on a Friday with my daughter I decided to call back and ask that they confirm that they're still back there and the same gentleman answered, and very rudely said " LISTEN WE ARE NOT A SHOE STORE. SO NO WE ARE VERY BUSY!" and to no surprise been a surprise HUNG UP right after that. When I got there, there were tables open and the bartenders greeted me and clearly did not know. I was the same person that they had been very rudely talking to so I asked about the shoes he went and got them and I asked if he was the gentleman I had taught you on the phone and he couldn't even look me in the eye but still said "no". However, I recognized his voice and clearly knew it was him. This place is not only is very expensive for drinks and food, but the staff being the way they are no customer should ever be treated like this. I was not rude, was not angry, and yet was treated with such little respect. There are a bunch of other, really nice places with the same vibe and much nicer stuff that you can give your money to on a night out. **Update: completely disagree with your response, and the fact that you can't take ownership for the way that your staff talks to customers is exactly why I feel my review is very valid. I did not call 8 times. These were not house slippers. Also, some additional notes you made are not true.**

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!

I opted for the high top right by the kitchen, and honestly, great choice -- it smelled amazing. Most people prefer not to sit by the kitchen with all the foot traffic but I didn't mind it at all. Nobie's is a house that's been transformed into a restaurant. One of the bartenders told me it's a 104-year-old house, and the whole place has very "house party" vibes in the best way. The music is LOUD. And it gets progressively louder as the night goes on, so if that's not your vibe, keep that in mind. But I was very into it. Lil Flip was playing when I walked in and it took me back to high school house parties. On shuffle were more throwbacks and classics: Ludacris and "Notorious Thugs" by Biggie. The chairs, however, were not my favorite. They're low-backed and kind of cage-like, with only a thin cushion, so they aren't exactly the most comfortable for a long meal. Started with a cocktail: the Remolacha del Corazón -- beet tequila, mezcal, watermelon (house-made syrup), lime and a tajín rim. You can hardly taste the mezcal, which I'm assuming is the point. I like mezcal so it would have been nice to taste it but the beet tequila is definitely the star, with the watermelon and lime adding a nice balance. Appetizer: Don't Worry, Brie Happy ($18). Brie, local honey, smoked grapes, toast. There was basically no local honey on my plate, but those smoked grapes?! They're topped with flaky salt while they're still hot and OMG!! The combination of warm, smoky, sweet and salty was fantastic. My only complaint was the amount of toast. There was a little too much toast for the amount of brie and grapes, so the ratios felt slightly off. Main course: Jamón With Your Bad Self ($45). Ibérico secreto pork steak, tonnato, shaved Brussels sprouts, salsa verde and almonds. I'm particular about pork, so I was taking a bit of a chance here, but this dish sounded too interesting to pass up. The pork steak was cooked perfectly and had some wonderfully crispy pieces around the edges. The tonnato underneath the pork was really good. It almost reminded me of a Caesar dressing and added this rich, savory element to the dish. The shaved Brussels sprouts were great, too, especially with the almonds and Parmesan. Everything worked really well together. Dessert: Olive Oil Cake. A house staple, and for good reason. A lovely way to end the meal. Overall, Nobie's has a really fun, unpretentious energy. Between the old-house setting, loud music and memorable dishes, it feels like somewhere you go to hang out as much as you go to eat. Just know what you're getting into with the volume and the seating -- this is not exactly a quiet, polished fine-dining experience, and that's kind of the charm.

The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in. I ordered a churro latte with whipped cream and it was absolutely delicious. I also grabbed a blueberry muffin, and they warmed it up perfectly. The outside had a slight crisp while the inside stayed soft and moist. The atmosphere is what really sold me. There are cute outdoor tables, cornhole games, fun artwork throughout the space, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I pulled out my laptop and got some work done comfortably, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover they also serve alcoholic beverages and stay open later in the evening. It feels like a coffee shop and neighborhood hangout all in one. Whether you're looking for a place to work remotely, meet friends, enjoy a coffee date, or spend time with family, I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back!

Stopped by CoffeeTrend to try some coffee and a cocktail and was surprisingly disappointed…read more I saw mixed reviews about this coffee shop online, but I'm always open to forming my own opinion. As a coffee lover with an adventurous palate, I was excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, this experience was unrewarding. We ordered three drinks the Anna's Special, iced white chocolate almond latte with almond milk, and an iced pistachio vanilla latte with almond milk and none of these drinks lived up to their names nor the listed ingredients that were listed. The coffees in my opinion were flavorless, watery, and underwhelming. We picked a cocktail at random to try which was the Anna's Special and trust me there was nothing special about this drink other than the prices. This establishment has some really good price options when it comes to coffee, cocktails, pastries, wines, and other beverages. The barista's were very friendly, welcoming, and sweet. The restaurant offered indoor and outdoor seating with cute colorful pictures, artwork, and signatures on the wall. Would I return? Maybe not
