    A late lunch for four. As always, attentive service and a good crab salad for lunch. Crepes only ordinary. Fine ambience for a good talk with friends.

    I have been gatekeeping this place for a while all to myself. This hidden gem in Houston is not social media popular but it's my most favorite place in H town! It has everything for all ages, such a fun place to eat and relax. Yummy food, high end bowling, arcade, ice cream station thing and exceptional customer service. The people that work there are probably few of the nicest people I have ever met. We went with group of 16 and everyone was so accommodating and we had an excellent time on Valentine's day!
