Great date place!

by lwilrey at Citysearch

My husband and I love this place, the food and service are excellent. It is very quiet, no screaming kids! Leave the kids home if they are below 5 and come have a great date with your significant other. Salmon melts in your mouth!

• Pros: Food and service are excellent, quiet atmosphere

Perfect!!!

We found this restaurant quite by chance- and have returned many times. I love the curry firecracker appetizers, spring rolls- cold with meat and mint and wonderful dipping sauce. My husband adores the Pad Thai which is served inside of an "omelet". I order something different each visit- and have always been impressed with the flavor and quality. We recently visited only an hour before closing time( thought we had two hours before they closed!) and were served by a waiter we had never met (so we weren't recognized as a frequent visitor). We were never "rushed" but were allowed to enjoy our delicious meal. When we realized that the restaurant was closed, I felt that we should leave. BUT the waiter came over with dessert menus and encouraged us to have a look. We were unable to turn down the strawberry shortcake and the white chocolate bread pudding. He cheerfully said he would make fresh coffee and served us a wonderful dessert. When I offered to pay so they could close out and clean up- he declined laughing and said he would enjoy a cup of the coffee and was in no hurry. It was like dining with friends!! I have always been impressed with their food- but the service was just unbelievably good on our last visit.

• Pros: hot free bread, wonderfu food, nice ambiance
• Cons: can't think of any

Excellent Food

by resale1mama at Citysearch

I was invited to a small lunch with my friend Yolanda at Children's Collections. We WALKED there. She surprised me with friends gathered together as I will start a new job Monday. The food was excellent. Excellent service, and atmosphere. A place for girls to meet, or have dinner with favorite man. The wine list was terrific and glad we walked back to Children's Collections as I ate to much and plan to have dinner here with my husband and use the place for girls lunches!!!!

• Pros: Great Location and parking Best LUNCH
• Cons: NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY HOME

OVERPRICED!!!

by GianaMamma at Citysearch

Good Lord, this place is overpriced! The food is good but the portions are tiny and you need to take out a loan to pay the bill.Ridiculous prices.Maybe good for a dinner but wouldn't reccomend for a lunch.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: Price

Good food, expensive Mojitos!

by jlaser at Citysearch

The menu is interesting, the food was good, the dessert was beautifully presented but fair in taste (Coconut mousse in a chocolate cage.) The mojito was great but VERY expensive. $9.00 for a shot of rum, some mint, lime, and soda water???? That's ridiculous. The pear, gorgonzola, and walnut salad was very good. The firecracker crab rolls were tasty and the complimentary bread was very unusual and very good.

• Cons: The only entree' that we wanted was Snapper and they were out of it!

Upscale, inventive Asian-fusion fare in a neighborhood cafe setting.

In Short
This Bellaire restaurant's mix of elegant decor and Chinese, Japanese and Thai creations makes for a memorable lunch and dinner. Begin any meal with spicy Thai seviche or kataifi shrimp appetizer--baked filo-wrapped shrimp and bacon with tamarind sauce. Don't miss the Gorgonzola salad. Hoisin-marinated rib eye and Korean osso bucco are popular--the latter a braised lamb shank with lotus root. The cafe also offers an affordable wine list.

My husband & I made reservations for a special event at the restaurant. When we arrived our reservations were not there, but we were quickly accomodated and were given deepest apologies by the management. The service was excellent & our food was divine! We will be back & bringing others with us!

• Pros: great atmoshere, awsome service, delicious food

delicious

by pepsching at Citysearch

tried the the pineapple mussels - mediocre (3 for $9) too pricey. next was the tuna tar tar - perfectly seasoned, fantastic. trio of soup offered mushroom, coconut and a beef broth with wonton - the mushroom was delicious. the best part though was the spinach salad with boiled quail eggs, pine nuts and warm bacon dressing. excellent! $9 absolut lychee martinis are good too as long as there is no added lime.

• Pros: great food, nice decor, friendly service
• Cons: way overpriced

Delicious

My girlfriend and I first tried this cozy little restaurant for lunch on her birthday and we simply loved it. The appetizers were fresh and tasty, the beef satay wrap and the open faced Portobello sandwich were outstanding. The ambience and service are impeccable. We have been back many times since then and we have enjoyed every moment spent there. We will continue to go there as long as it is still open!!!

• Pros: Delicious food, Ambience, Service
• Cons: Nothing at all
