  We came here for dinner with a large party for houston restaurant week and sat in their private room. This has got to be one of the BEST restaurants I've ever been too!  
  
  The food was absolutely phenomenal I ate every last bit of everything! The SEA BASS. Y'all if you like fish you have to get it. I was about ready to lick the plate clean!!!!! I can't wait to come back - this is a perfect date night place.
  
  Also parking was a breeze in the attached parking garage. And free which is great for mist

  Proper French cuisine. I strongly recommend one if the set menu items. Like all great restaurants they will serve what ever is on the menu, but the Chef has thought out what will be great together, and you should trust him. If you have food allergies (Tragically, I cannot eat nuts) they are quite happy to accommodate you, and the set menu is still the way to go.
  
  First class wine list, the parings are delightful, and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable.
  
  Not inexpensive, but well worth the price.
  
  If you are alone or with just one other, they have seating where you can watch the kitchen do its magic. If you are a gastronome, it is a real treat.
  
  Highly recommend.

  This may be my favorite restaurant in Houston. Located in Midtown. Valet parking and garage parking behind the building. Elegant, romantic, friendly staff, exquisite food, as good as it gets in my opinion. Make a reservation just to be safe.
  
  They offer several fixed menus which will be suggested if it is your first visit. I opted out, but will definitely be trying soon! I ordered the La Salade Artisans (Mixed Greens, Lemon Vinaigrette, Parmesan, Baby Heirloom Tomato Crostini, House Candied Bacon). It was amazing. The bacon - oh you have to taste the bacon!!!! For my main dish I had Le Loup de Mer du Chili  (Pistachio Crusted Chilean Sea bass, Creamy Sweet Pea Risotto Salsify, Saffron Velouté).  Mouth watering! Every single bite! I can only imagine that every dish is out of this world!
  
  The staff was attentive, happy, they even showed us around the entire restaurant and gave us a tour of their 3 party spaces. They have two rooms for smaller parties and one large room for big events. Call to inquire about your event!
  
  Will I be back??? Heck yes! I am determined to try everything! Definitely a MUST DINE while visiting or a Houston native.

  I was introduced to this fine dining French restaurant for lunch last month. They offer valet parking next to the front door and a free parking garage behind the restaurant along with street parking. Walking into the foyer leads you to the hostess stand where you will be promptly seated. Inside, this is an attractively designed space with glass partitions, beautifully adorned tables and decorative walls and ceiling. Also, they offer a large semi circular chefs table that looks into the kitchen.
  
  On my visit there was a 3 course business lunch special that was temporarily reduced in price by 25% which I chose. I went with the artisans salad, sea bass and opera cake to finish. The salad arrived first with its mixed greens, baby heirloom tomato crostini and lemon vinaigrette Parmesan with candied bacon. It was a fine salad that I enjoyed so much I forgot to photograph it. That bacon really hit the spot. As lagniappe, the Chef decided to grace our table with another appetizer for free. It was the lobster bisque that is normally a $10 add on. Wow! The flavor of this dish blew me away. It was such a rich and  buttery smooth experience I believe this was the best lobster bisque I have ever eaten. Perfect in every way.
  
  The pistachio crusted sea bass was next with creamy risotto and snap peas. This entree was perfect too. The fish had excellent flavor and the risotto was a pure delight. Seriously at this point of the meal, I was sold on this place. Finally, the opera cake arrived to end the meal and it did justice with the food that preceded it. The butters used here are exceptional as one would expect in a quality French restaurant. The table service during the meal was professional and just added even more to the overall experience of dining here.
  
  I understand that this restaurant has been here for 7 years and I am sad that this was my first visit. Now that I now know of its remarkable food, I need to make up for lost time with future visits. If you are looking for a high end French dining experience in a beautiful restaurant with first class food and service, come here!

  I visited here with coworkers for our Christmas luncheon.  I had never been here before, so I was excited to try somewhere new.  
  
  Located downtown, I was thrilled to see that they offer parking other than street and valet.  There's a parking garage located behind the restaurant and the quick walk to the restaurant was no bother.  They offer valet for $5 if you'd like to use their services.  It wasn't packed at all during lunch, so this option wasn't necessary for me.
  
  We booked a private area since it was 12 of us in attendance, which came with a private menu of 3 courses.   The room was small, but cute.  Reminded me of a wine cellar.  They have glass around the room, so it isn't really all that 'private' but whatever.  I sat next to the wall which looked airbrushed in some design.  I could see the other private dining room through the un-airbrushed glass.  Luckily, it was empty or I would've locked eyes with whoever would've been on the other side.  The main wall was all glass.  I could see the open kitchen area through the glass, similar to hibachi style kitchens.
  
  The private dining menu offered 3 courses.  I chose the salad as the 1st course, lobster as the 2nd and the dessert was the same for everyone as the 3rd course.  The plates are bigger than the food portion, just a heads up.  It took all 3 courses to get full.  Dessert was like flan, I didn't care for it too much because of the texture but my coworkers seemed to like it.  I don't think I would go back, but I enjoyed the experience outside of the office.
