We enjoyed the outstanding gazpacho, the delicious romaine salad with manchego, the wonderful red snapper served with jumbo lump crab and haricots verts, and one of the steaks, and everything was absolutely fabulous. It's quiet and dark and very European in feel.

The menu changes seasonally, but is always varied and delicious. The cocktails, in particular, are inventive and fantastic--this spring's gin and tonic special, for example. involves frozen tonic pearls (like boba) and a lemon ice. It's almost like a dessert in texture and presentation, but not sweet. The service is extraordinary--attentive but not cloying. The waiter we had last night was good-natured, made sensible suggestions and offered details about different dishes that were informative, and was attuned to when we needed attention and when we did not. The appetizers are always worthwhile, and I've never had a dish that wasn't well prepared, beautifully presented, and delicious here.","rating":{"food":5,"service":5,"ambience":5,"value":5,"noise":"QUIET","overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":18,"nickname":"sue","metro":{"metroId":12,"displayName":"Houston","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"s","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"ICECREAM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-04-11T20:35:19Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-04-10T19:15:00-05:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-97408-2109847426-100046594670","text":"Wonderful and we love the place.
