They lost my reservation but I think they really lost their heads.

My wife and I went for Valentine's Day. What a disaster! I am tempted to start a support group called "Adult Children of Tio Pepe." I recommend that you don't go until the new owner gets his act together. We will definately not go back again.

The food was good but the service was lousy. We had to wait 1.5 hours for us to get our meal. My wife had to ask for her sangria three times before she got it. No one came by to refill my water glass.

Did I forget to mention that they forgot my Valentine's Day reservation? They lost it or something.

The owner knew it was Valentine's Day and he was short-staffed? This is inexcuseable.

For the prices we paid for this meal, we except good service.

The evening was a train wreck. The staff was getting all the orders wrong. The restaurant was full of angry impatient clientele that deserve better service than what they got.

I will not hesitate to tell family and friends not to go.

• Pros: The Food tasted great although I almost fainted from hunger
• Cons: The service was lousy. They lost my reservation.

Yolanda from Children's Collections invited me to this place for dinner when we closed her shop and walked across the street. I love the setting, but he amazing food was exceptional. I She has always raved about this restaurant and wed, they played my fav. songs for my birthday. I went home and shared this place with friends, my husband and can not wait to return. Who would have guessed Yolanda's from Children's Collections secret restaurant was across the street from her shop.

• Pros: To many wonderful selections
• Cons: Easier to find

What a great surprise to discover this fully renovated restaurant. This new administration gave the place a renovated ambient, that comes along great with its superb food and exclusive wines.

My experience here was great and its definitely one of the best restaurants in Greater Houston.

You MUST try the PAELLA+LAMB dish!!!!! (ask for it, not in the menu)

• Pros: New administration, ambient, and definetely great food.
• Cons: Few parking spots
