    We had our Annual Family Christmas Dinner at LA Colonial after a show downtown. The food was amazing - great menu, great wine/cocktail menu and the service was very good. The restaurant is very beautiful- it was a busy evening and I'm hoping to go back at a less busy time to really enjoy the ambiance. Our family loved the experience!

    We recently visited Le Jardinier in Houston to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is nestled inside the Museum of Fine Art in Houston and is small and private. It is a perfectly cozy and beautiful space. We selected the chef's 5 course dining along with the wine pairing and it was perfect. Our servers were excellent and knowledgeable with both the food and the wine. The sommelier is attentive and shared fun information regarding the different varieties of champagne and wines throughout the meal. overall, was a delightful experience and Houston is so lucky to have some Michelin star restaurants!
