simply great food – I have tried everything on the menu and never been dissapointed. The bread and salad are great! Good for a family meal or a date night. Always food left over.
Great food and great service – I really enjoyed my experience here - I've found a new hang out! I got there early on a Friday - around 6 PM and we were seated right away. The place was clean - small, but important detail for me. My dinnermate really enjoyed her salad (which I declined). We both enjoyed the bread that was brought out - lightly dusted with cheese - perfect way to start a meal. I had rainbow trout encrusted with cornmeal. It had guacamole on the side as well as these three, small spinach-filled enchildas. My di... read more
Excellent Food/Service – One of my favorite dishes, which I order only occasionally, is the fettucine alfredo. It's sinfully creamy and infused with nutmeg. I usually add shrimp and veggies or go lighter on the sauce, and they willingly accommodate. I've tried most of their pasta dishes, including the tortellini and ravioli, and I keep going back to them. The bread is served warm with a light olive oil dipping sauce. Ed, who is the manager, is on top of the food and service. He gives personal attention to many of the regular... read more
Consistantly good food but be prepared for a wait for it if you come after 7:00 P.M. – My husband and I have been eating here from the very beginning when it first opened. It has changed quite a bit since then from not only the look of the restaurant but the BYOB policy of charging $7 for a corkage fee. Yes, it is nice of them to let you bring your own wine, but they used to do it for a lot less money and still had plenty of people coming. I think that they should have kept the $3 corkage fee. Also, they have totally remodel... read more
Don't Avoid EVER! The wait is well worth it. – Of note, I go here every year for my birthday. It was this past Saturday and my server was the pitts! Not helpful at all, short with me and my guests, and did not spend anytime at the table and VERY quick to drop the bill. Lately the wait staff hasn't been that impressive. Aside from this I love it. The mussels are to die for. I've had just about everything on the menu and it's ALL good. On any night you may have to wait but it's so fun sitting around, chatting and drinking good... read more
Cozy BYOB Italian restaurant in West Houston is perfect for a casual date night. – In Short This charming restaurant welcomes diners with tantalizing smells and an inviting atmosphere. Expect frequent appearances by owner/Chef Greg Gordon who has prepared a menu full of comfort food and classic Italian dishes. Begin with house-made bread topped with figs, caramelized onions and pecans before sampling the warm spinach salad. Entrees include pastas and brick oven pizzas as well as grilled fish and meat including rack of lamb a... read more
Great Food-Cozy Little Spot – This place has excellent food, great service, and menu with many choices. I regularly ordered one of two dishes, either the Eggplant parmesan (the first time i tried this) which has a fabulous sauce, and is quite tasty, perfect if you're not looking for anything too heavy. Other times, I opted for the Shrimp Diavolo-prawns tossed in angel hair pasta with fairly spicy marinara sauce. My husband ordered the beef tenderloin with plum/burgundy reduction sauce. La Vista serves the most perfect bread,... read more
Great Food/Great Value – In a word, the food is fabulous. My pork chop with horseradish potatoes was seasoned perfectly. A bite of my fathers shrimp and grits let me know there were other things I must return to try. I begged the chef for the sweet potatoe and roasted corn pudding to no avail, but will return for another taste. Presentation was beautiful and the portions quite large. I had no room for dessert, which was disappointing as they all looked wonderful.
Wonderful! – My husband and I frequented this restaurant when we lived in the Galleria area and we were never disappointed. It has a great atmosphere and wonderful food.
