Wonderful cooking, a good selection of wines, and excellent service make this place perennially popular, especially in good weather when diners flock to the tree-shaded patio. The starters are delicious creations, especially the lobster potpie and the smoked corn crab cakes. Among the main courses, the meatloaf tower with mushroom gravy and garlic mashed potatoes warms my heart like nothing...

My friend and I got seating on the patio. The food was amazing. I got the fish risotto and it was impeccable along with the fried green tomato salad. Save room for dessert as they are amazingly decadent.

We ordered the lamb (bland, greasy, and filled with fat), grits and shrimp (couldn't find the grits because it was smothered with too much sauce), and a beef entree (can't...

This is the sister restaurant to Hugo's on Westheimer and Caracol on Post Oak Boulevard. Ask about their story! It is a delightful spot! Elegant decor but not over the top. Simple but not plain, sophisticated but not complicated. The food was good, the service excellent, and the wine great value. I started with a kale salad, followed by slow...
