Eater: It's perfect for a date night: intimate dining space, casual vibe, great wine selection and plenty of small Italian plates to share or full entrees if you so desire. [Eater 38 Member]
Houston Press: 2010 Best of Houston® Winner: Best Risotto: Try the risotto! Creamy and decadent without being heavy, simple to look at but complex at first bite!
CultureMap Houston: Try Poscol’s selection of Italian wines, some at bargain rates of $6 a glass. And don’t pass up dessert, particularly the Italian fried doughnut hole and the dried figs soaked in wine.
Houston Press: You can't go wrong with a salad plate with chopped liver or egg salad, a stack of fresh rye bread and some pickles at Katz's Deli in Montrose, especially late at night. Read more.
Julie Minerbo: Everything delish...especially Reuben, Fried Pickles, Spinach Frittata, & cheesecake shake!
Mistress Genevieve: Fried pickles!

Julie Minerbo: The Levanese Chicken Fattoush is delicious, as is the Salmon & Bacon & Blue Cheese burger & mini brownie.
Star Pizza Houston: Love this place! Been coming here for years!
Aptraveler: Everything is good, especially their salads made to order. Their portions may seem too big for some people & you may ask for a medium portion instead of a regular one if you wish!

Harold i Kelly: Really like the staff here. Pretty friendly. Gets crowded after 3. Hard to find a seat. Triple Espresso is favorite. Get the app on iPhone and use it for free drinks. Best crowd watching in town.
Lisa Garza: Good morning every body GOOD MORNING! I will take an iced carmel something or another k thanks VENTI POR FAVOR!
Katt Trevino: Instead of pouring your coffee in the trashcan at the condiment bar, ask your barista to leave room for cream/milk. They totally will!
Sean Stoner: Fantastic pastries as well as breakfast/brunch dishes. Drip coffee and espresso drinks are also excellent. They also sell Stumptown beans (used in their drip coffee).
Patty Rathbun: An army of perfect, beautiful macaroons awaits the march into your hungry mouth.
Damien Franco: The grilled cheese! Wow. Sweet from the caramelized onions with salty cheese and savory bread, yum!
