I was there with a group of about 15 people and even with a reservation it took them nearly an hour to seat us so meanwhile we were drinking their super watered down drinks at $10 a pop. After being seated, instead of the regular menu with the usual specials and complete descriptions and pricing, they gave us this laser printed menu with a choice of 4 dishes and our party's name on it that didn't even include their signature fish dishes. I had been looking forward to the salmon so I ordered off the real menu and knew exactly what I was getting and how much it would be, but the rest of my party ordered out of the 4 specials and got a nasty surprise at the end of the night when the so called "specials" were about $30 more than the average dishes on the regular menu. The dishes were tiny too. That seems shady to me but we all paid on one ticket to make the server's life easier and overall was very nice to them and on a $1200 tab, left a tip of more than $220 for the server(s) which is almost 20% and what bothers me the most is the servers in plain view were slamming the dishes as they were picking them up and giving us dirty looks as if we didn't tip them enough. I really had to bite my toungue because I knew it would get ugly if I did. So there you have it. the place is across from a car dealership, overpriced food with tiny portions, and very rude service. There are plenty of classy places to eat at in Houston so skip this one if you want my advice. Oh, and as mentioned there is not even ONE parking spot for this place that's free unless you want to park in the street. And this is isn't in downtown exactly.
