Regulars flock here for the vista -- a killer view of the White Oak greenbelt, with the tips of downtown skyscrapers peeking over the trees -- but they stay for better-than-average burgers, memorable quesadilla appetizers and fine Neapolitan cheesecake.
This popular cafe's location inside a former gas station does not sound a bit appealing, but the spectacular view of the downtown skyline is worth a sunset visit on a nightly basis. Live music fans will also be impressed with the live performances that occur several nights a week. Nachos, burgers and sandwiches dominate the reasonably priced menu. A glass of the house wine is available for...

Tips About This Business
Parking continues to be a headache. Look for a spot on a nearby side street.
Editorial Reviews from the web
In Short The big draw here is the incomparable view of White Oak Park in the foreground, with the downtown skyline shimmering in the distance. A bowtie pasta dish crowned with a chunk of blackened tuna is satisfying, if a tad over-sauced. Even a dinner salad, splashed with a lemony house vinaigrette, is well executed.

We joked about grabbing a few beers and taking the rest of the day off. Unbelievable drink selection! I had no idea this place had a full bar. I've been in Houston for six months and to this day I have not received service that comes...

As some of the other reviews have said, this is a neighborhood place, not a fine dining establishment. Although it's a little rough around the edges, we were attracted to it because of the talents of one bartender. Always friendly, pulled a mean pint, mixed a mean martini, and he had an excellent music selection, in short, he was exceptional. Anyway, I don't know if they came under new...

What could be a potentially nice outdoor patio is marred by cars parked adjacent to the outdoor dining area, blocking the view of the bayou. There is no landscaping, making for a very barren, concrete "pad" of a restaurant. Potted blooming flowers might soften the look. Food OK. Service good. On a recent Friday night, it wasn't that busy. If you're a people watcher, best head elsewhere.
