Delightfully light and refreshing, the Ahi tuna sashimi with slices of tuna nestled atop slices of avacado topped with a mango and pineapple pico and micro greens is perfection for these hot months. Read more

I had the Seared salmon filet, served with marinated kale & cauliflower, watercress, shaved fennel, white anchovy vinaigrette. Excited my taste buds. Tasty with just the right kind of kick.

Located in downtown's 12-acre Discovery Green park, serving lunch and dinner. Enjoy Happy Hour on the deck under 100 year-old oak trees!

Always great seating with views of Discovery Green and DTH. The burger is near-perfect, as are the seasoned fries, as is the shrimp and crab salad, as are the desserts...

I was craving steak and Mexican for my only meal in Houston, and the hanger steak was the perfect combo! Also, the deviled eggs with smoked salmon were delish!

Ambiance is great. Rotisserie chicken was a nice change from what I expected it to be. Apple Crisp was perfect. Pineapple Orchid drink was delightful, tasty and strong.

Eat outside if at all possible, so much quieter! But realize that means longer waits for drinks - but it's worth it :)

Beware: restaurant is fine but don't leave your car with the valet. We got Into our car and everything was changed and upon leaving we saw the valet guys drag racing people's cars trough downtown.
