There is a lot of buzz about this newly reimagined restaurant. If you go during daylight hours, you are surrounded by the verdant greenery of Buffalo Bayou Park, and a lake just below the entrance. If you go after dark, outside is invisible but inside sparkles with the tiny lights of literally dozens of chandeliers, which reflect off the floor to ceiling windows which surround the dining room, giving it a magical feel. There is a private space for events, and it is busy. Valet parking required, and reservations highly recommended. Enjoy!
