    First off, our server Gentry (G) was amazing. I loved her energy, but what I loved most was the collaborative nature that she had with us when it came to our drinks and it is obvious that whoever the bar staff is had that collaborative nature as well. My friend and I did not necessarily what was on the drink menu, so we described the type of drinks we likes and Gentry made suggestions based on what we were describing and worked with the bartender to make us perfectly customized cocktails. My friend and I had 3 cocktails each! There was NO attuite at all like "well we only have this or what is on the menu". No, it was soooo collaborative! I personally don't go back to restaurants if they don't have drink menu I like (I am just one that likes signature sweet mixed drinks) but they were so collaborative with the drink making that I would definitely go back. The only "bad" review I would give is that the portion was kinda small for the entree, however it was DELICIOUS! I got the Ravioli Bianca .

    Absolutely outstanding from the entrance presentation to the manager sharing the history of the restaurant and the food we were eating. The special touch with the dessert and the anniversary signed card from the staff was the icing on the cake. The food was absolutely delicious and I want more - thx goodness we had leftovers.

    It was my 50th birthday and the food, customer service, attention to detail was outstanding. I received a personalized written birthday card and a wrapped gift from the restaurant. The management checked on our table several times. I will be having my celebrations at this place every year.

    What an amazing time we had for our engagement dinner. It was nothing but spectacular dining at the original location in galleria. We love the old classic vintage look that was nothing but nostalgia everywhere we looked but it was in a great way as everything inside was kept up to date with no sign of aging inside. Richard our server was great and was always attentive to our service. The food was also amazing and we were coming from Hawaii so we felt that the bill was priced sorta reasonable for the type of fine dining we had tonight. We definitely recommend to anybody looking to try this restaurant. We will be coming back again we love Texas!

    Our first time visiting this restaurant, and what a wonderful experience! The food was incredible. We ordered the lamb tartare, which was perfect, the duck fesenjoon, and the lamb shank. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. We finished with kunefe for dessert, and they thoughtfully brought us ice cream to celebrate a birthday. Ana, our server, was lovely, attentive, and offered excellent recommendations. Even my drink, the sharbat, was outstanding! The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a modern yet warm atmosphere. It’s also a place where people make an effort to dress nicely, which adds to the overall experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back!
