Ordered the three different steaks (can't really recall the name) and it was awesome. Their dessert though is outstanding. Tried chocolate cake and something else with caramel, they were incredible.

Portions are kind of small, and it's pricey- but food quality is great, probably the best restaurant in North Western part of Houston. Great lamb chops!

Drizzled in the golden hollandaise built atop slabs of Canadian bacon, and two yolky eggs, is a perfect way to carve a Sunday morning brunch into a memorable indulgence.
Lisa ElderJune 9, 2013
Was very good! New York kudu steak, sautéed baby spinach. Cheesecake, sticky toffee pudding. Bloody Mary was off the hook!
Andrea PaJuly 22, 2013
