Wowza. Upscale, mature dining! Good service. Indoor/outdoor seating options. We split the short rib entree and it was fantastic! Meat folded at the very touch of the fork. Scampi side was about 6 shrimp and well flavored. Elote corn “ribs” a little over charred but flavor made up for it. Would definitely eat here again! Check the hours before visiting but truly fantastic fine dining! Will recommend to friends visiting the area.

It was a rainy day, so all seating was inside and there is not a lot of seating without the outside Cafe style area. Service was slow but friendly. Bloody Marie’s were very good. Had eggs Benedict. Poached eggs were solid instead of runny. Sausage was very good and potatoes excellent.

I cannot believe the change in this tiny spot with new color scheme, furniture, linen table service, and booth seating. It met all of my expectations for service and food! A wonderful addition to the ‘average’ dining offerings in Clear Lake!

We sat at the table for over a hour before she finally ask what we wanted for food. Then waited over a hour for our food to come. First waitress maybe stopped 5 times in the first two hours next waitress stopped over 5 times in 15 mins to check on us. If you want to sit inside all day and waste the day away good place to go to. Also seafood ok. Steak you might as well throw it on the grill plain and take it off be about the exact same.

I believe it was thier first Sunday brunch and they were short staff waited 35 min for our food had eggs Benedict the English muffin was not toasted and all the did was cut a boiled egg in half and put on it and they left some of the shell on it, with a very thin slice of ham. Steak omlett was horrible. We did not care for the potatoes. We will not go back

Came here for appetizers and will definitely be back for a full meal! Friendly and knowledgeable service. It has a nice atmosphere, but sadly we went in December so we didn’t get to enjoy the patio seating.
