Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Washington Avenue Coalition / Memorial Park

We had the tea service and it was a very pleasurable experience. I would never believe that you could feel full on finger sandwiches, but we did. They served us Champaign and our choice of three teas. For the teas we chose creamy Earl Grey, fig oolong and chamomile & lavender. Our favorite was the Earl Grey. The first level was sandwiches which were a wagu beef, a goat cheese w/ figs and a chicken salad. The second layer had two types of scones, savory and sweet and the third layer was what I would describe as a mini red velvet whoopi cake. Once we finished the three tier tray they brought us cucumber sandwiches with espelette pepper seasoning. I am going to have to buy some of that for my home! They finished it off with dessert of red velvet cheesecake with vanilla bean mousse. Before bringing our check they surprised us each with a chocolate covered strawberry on a bed of white marshmallows. This is a "special" occasion treat, as it is a bit expensive, but I look forward to the next time we get to go.

Very nice dinner, staff was great, we were the only table that did not have amuse bouche between courses, all other tables did. The tables seemed flimsy and were too close together. The owner of the hotel did come and introduce himself and that was just lovely to hear about his art. Thank you for a nice night.

Redfish, pork belly, carpaccio, tartar, wine.. all amazing. Food was amazing. Service was even better. Carlos is phenomenal at his job. My fiance and I had an amazing valentines dinner. If you’re in the River oaks Houston area stop by this place for some amazing food and service. Ask for Carlos and enjoy the experience.
