Restaurants near Chavez High School Baseball Field

Pros: 1. Despite our discerning tastes, all 6 of us loved every app & main ordered - roasted artichokes, spicy tuna crispy rice, snow crab, avocado wedge, spicy Caesar, pasta Za Za, grilled branzino, NY strip, broccolini, and lobster Mac. Everything was well seasoned and presented in an appetizing way with appropriate plate sizing (something that often goes overlooked). 2. Generous portions were great for sharing and trying everything! 3. Drinks were strong and balanced (various martinis) and the somm recommended the perfect wine when our first choice was sold out 4. Good vibes with the decor, lighting, and music Cons: 1. We had a reservation for 6 way ahead of time, but still seated at a round booth intended for 4, maybe 5 max 2. This made the table pretty crowded with multiple glasses and plates per person. It was a struggle for sharing. And then a waiter knocked a full water glass onto my partners lap ☹️ (note: in most nicer Houston restaurants, this would typically mean an automatic comp on *something* but did not here) 3. We discussed with our server the debate between med rare and medium on the strip to suit all tastes, and went with medium based on server feedback. It came out medium well/well-done 🙁 4. All the desserts sounded amazing, we tried three (banana foster, strawberry cake, chocolate pie) and I’ll say that none will be ordered again. Just a few too many hiccups to go unnoticed, but overall a good time with great food

We left the restaurant telling each other "this is on the short list of the best meals we have had in our lives." The service was perfect, Eder "Eddy" and the whole team were on point. Eder's wine and cocktail selections were perfect and in line with what we ordered. The suckling pig was amazing. I found myself wondering how did they cook this?! The deserts were stars. Churros were so crispy. Sometimes places get Michelin stars just for technique with no purpose. Yeah, there were dishes that were too precious. I don't need a deconstructed patas bravas. But even when it was too fancy, I could see the point and the sum of the culinary parts were worth the price. I know they emphasize gin, but the vermouth was the best I have had outside of Barcelona. This was the whole shebang. I would absolutely drive out of my way in an old car, wearing out my Michelin tires to eat here and advise you to do the same. Lastly, they had live music that was perfect, kudos to them too.

Excellent food with tomely rollout and advice from the waiters. The staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. Great atmosphere and dining experience. This ranks as our favorite restaurant in Houston
