Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Brioche French Toast
Good brunch spot. All of the bready dishes were really good. They offer muffins to start. We got the duck spring rolls, orange and chocolate brioche buns, biscuits and jam, potato and chicken hash, and the brioche French toast. We’d get the brioche dishes again. The biscuits were good but not worth getting again. The hash was pretty plain. Food quantity here is good especially if you’re carbing up
I got the avocado toast with a side of bacon, and it was delicious. I tried my friends brisket Benedict and steak and eggs, which were all good as well. Loved the free banana muffins at the start of the meal! Cozy location and free parking, plus we were able to get a table for 6 on a Saturday morning with no reservation.

Love the place. I believe is best to go on a Saturday or Sunday for brunch. The calamari and the cauliflower were amazing. The enchiladas and the bakes oyster were ok. The wine selection by the glass is on point for the place. The carajillo horchata was not for me. I would return for sure to try the brunch. Edgardo was an amazing server shout out to him!

Great restaurant. Great Sunday brunch. We were there with friends and the atmosphere was warm and wonderful. Staff were attentive and food was delicious! Don’t forget to try the Red corn chicken enchiladas ! My wife’s favorite. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Our department lunch was amazing. Pleasing a diverse group of 25 people is hard but their three courses pre-fix menu worked well with vegetarian and gluten free choices. The service was impeccable. They have wonderful holiday decorations to add to the atmosphere. Very very pleased.

We were in Houston visiting family. We met a cousin for brunch. The place is cute, with a nice outdoor space, where we chose to be seated. Everything was good, and service was attentive without being intrusive. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Nut allergy friendly; there are dishes with nuts but the servers are very considerate. We stopped in and sat at the bar for a quick drink and dessert. The restaurant seems very popular for brunch and dinner. Valet parking is available but we parked on the street nearby and walked a block without any issue. The desserts here are made in-house. The chocolate truffle cake was rich and creamy, perfect after a meal. I had a mezcal based drink that was excellent - Luis at the bar really knows his stuff. Great date spot or a meet-up. Ask for Thomas as a server, he's great and knows his wine! Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
