The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014Sit at the chef's counter if you can, to watch Mr. Yu and company navigate the absurdly small kitchen with balletic grace. The restaurant is tiny and popular; reservations are strongly advised. Read more
Whether you sit at the counter or at a table, your taste buds are in for a treat! Be sure to try Justin Vann's pairings--he is sure to surprise and delight. Truly a gem of a restaurant in Houston.

harryhApril 4, 2016The vegetables are clearly the star here. So much so that I, a pretty heavy carnivore, regret not ordering the garden menu. I think that's really the way to go here.
Rob CorneliusAugust 27, 2013Wonderful atmosphere. Justin is VERY talented. I was not crazy about this menu, but it changes often and I can't wait to eat with them again. Staggeringly good alcohol pairings.- Houston PressJuly 15, 2013Try a sweet Blandy's Sercial Madeira paired with a dusky, savory sunflower seed soup or Kalin Cellars Semillon drunk with a rabbit saddle cooked with green garlic ash.

Cozy ambience, excellent service. 🍑🍠🌽- The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014Between courses, browse the shelves full of vinyl records—you'll find everything from the Psychedelic Furs to Gerry Mulligan.
