We hosted a bridal shower at Laboratorio Kitchen and if there were 6 stars…they earned it. The food was incredible, that carmelized peach and prosciutto—not a bite left on the table, the chicken palliard was moist, flavorful and the lemon pepper pasta cooked to perfection. But I can’t stop here, it was brought together by a knowledgeable, professional staff who made it all look effortless. I have eaten here a few times in the past months…and each time was better than the last.

Early dinner at 5:30 was perfect, finished up by 7-7:30 and the dining area was quiet enough to talk without yelling.

Alright experience.. we came here because we saw they were participating in the March plant based challenge and we like a fancier styled restaurant.

Great spot for dinner! We had the Fish Special which was Branzino, and the Seafood Linguini with Scallops and Shrimp. For sides we had the Carmelized Peaches with Mozzerella and Mixed Green Salad. The food was excellently prepared and high quality. The service was outstanding. Jenaro, the waiter, was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. Liquor is BYOB, and they are happy to call the liquor store down the street to bring your favorite wine right to the table.

Love this place. Just had a graduation celebration for our daughter. Chef James and his staff hit the mark. Everyone raved from the appetizers to the main course. No lag in serving. The staff came out and assisted setting up. And prior to the party Chef James stayed in constant contact and responded in a timely manner. Just an amazing experience.

Deep flavor with bold creativity. The sea bass was perfectly crusted in an light, creamy lemon infused sauce that perfectly complimented the dish. Rave reviews from friends who had the steak, risotto and seafood mix. Highly recommended. BYOB.

We were impressed with the food and service during our first visit last year. Before going home back to Dallas, we had a chance to visit again. This time we were a party of nine. As expected, the food was superb. One of the best mussels, pasta, etc. we’ve tasted. And my salmon was cooked to perfection. Service was a tad lower though.

What a wonderful restaurant. Very classy and upscale while still feeling relaxed. The food is incredible! The pasta dishes are out of this world. All fresh homemade pasta. I haven’t tasted linguini like this in years. They also have a delightful selection of custom salads. I had a crab salad and it was amazing! I really enjoyed our time here. The seating is nice around the entire restaurant. Super glad we came and will definitely come back.
