    Great neighborhood restaurant in a good location. The service was impeccable including the employees who helped with my elderly mother and her walker. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive. The food was fabulous and dishes were made with imagination, for example the brussels sprout salad. Excellent. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Houston.
