Shijia ChenSeptember 2, 2013Huge selection of wine +great atmosphere for airport bars. Outlets underneath the bar too. Trivento Malbec Reserve in the 'interesting wine list' is a good pick if u like fruity and bold red
Brooke SimmonsJanuary 9, 2016Nice wine list for an airport, and most bottles (even the very good ones) available by the glass. Croque Monsieur not authentic, but nevertheless a very nice ham sandwich.
SarahFebruary 21, 2017Went with the $9 glass of prosecco and the tuna tartare app. Friendly, excellent service. You could do much worse as far as airports go!
mark hullOctober 5, 2014Don't confuse this with the famous and amazing Grand Comptoir in Paris. It is an airport. Duh. But better than average wine selections for an airport and croque Monsieur is acceptable.
EaterFebruary 7, 2013A French bistro/wine bar in the middle of the Houston airport? Why yes, yes it is. Reviews indicate that the tuna tartare is the dish to get while sipping on that glass of vino.
Rinna EscamillaMay 30, 2011All I know is that was an oasis in the middle of all that hubbub in George Bush International Airport. The wine selection is INSANE, the food, superb. If you are in Terminal C, go for it! Read more
Mark JacobsonJanuary 22, 2012Great place to pass time while waiting at IAH. The wine list is capable, though (yes) it could use more variety. You won't find better at an airport. Table space is limited. Sit at the bar if you can.
Jim BaileyDecember 15, 2014Coffee- Espresso, full bodied, consistent and fruity with a touch of roast. French press is solid as well
Niki Katherine HolmesJuly 19, 2011Probably the best airport food I've had. Margherita Pizza & blackened tilapia special were tasty and filling! They'll let you sample wine before you buy, too!
David TMay 1, 2013Surprisingly tender and delicious Filet. Not overpriced. Great wine selection (a little high but not bad.). Very civilized airport meal!
Sandie MackSeptember 1, 2011excellent wines by the glass and fantastic food. try the tuna tar tar and the beef carpaccio. very knowledgeable staff. Well worth the visit.
FrecklesUSAOctober 9, 2013Dont let them rush you, I was the only person seated at the bar yet the server asked me THREE times whether I was ready. I ended up with a Saivignon Blanc that was tooo sickeningly sweet and heavy.
Annie ChambersNovember 30, 2013Beet/ goat cheese salad is very generous and fresh! Bruschetta is legit! Lots of garlic!
Andrew HarperOctober 20, 2014Great place to chill preflight - also great for when the United Club is overflowing.- Bruce McConnelOctober 18, 2012Doug & Megan & their crew will ease your wait...tuna tartar is tasty...the wine list by-the-glass delivers. One of the best airport bars in the nation!
nadinaSeptember 30, 2013Fantastic wine selection. Great speedy service. Wine in a hurry :). Well priced.
becca kittymeowSeptember 20, 2015I liked the service. even tho there was only one waitress she was nice. I felt bad for the people who came after us (at like 2:30pm) because i am sure it was slow for them.
Andrew WisemanSeptember 15, 2012Pretty cool place, an oasis from the rest of the airport. For the snobs complaining about the list, it's a freaking airport, not Napa. Get a grip.
Bianca LoApril 18, 2013Beet and goat cheese salad, and the bruschetta are fresh to death, great airport food
Sheela MorrisJuly 9, 2013Great wine, fair prices, and those cheese and bacon topped potato chips? Woah. Welcome to Texas!
Katie BrennanApril 16, 2013Major YUM! Pancetta and carmelized onion flatbread is so so good. Reasonably priced too.
Pascal AntoineJuly 16, 2010Looks great from the outside, but wasn't too impressed. It did beat waiting for my flight at the gate though. Get a seat facing the hallway so you can people watch. Always something interesting going
Lana ChanApril 22, 2011The crab puff is delicious, bruschetta is garlicky but very tasty, pass on the beef carpaccio. Cheese plates look very good
David MinnisMay 11, 2013Great food at a decent (airport) price. I'll come back if I'm ever in Houston again.- Kurt WeisenbergerOctober 19, 2011Faster service at the bar. Grab a glass of vino and relax. The Croque Monsier sandwich is great
Joan LevyJanuary 9, 2010Don't hesitate to stop in here if you have an hour or two: surprisingly good food (by airport standards) and plenty of wine to help you relax for your impending journey
Chris McGuganJuly 29, 2013If you have the time, its worth the walk especially if you're in terminal B
Andrew Vino50 WinesAugust 6, 2010This is the saddest wine list I've seen in ages for a "wine bar". If you like kendall jackson and other big brand grocery wines, stop in. If not, move on. Really really sad.
- Kristin MJanuary 25, 2012Try the beet and goat cheese salad and Wente chardonnay. Perfect way to spend a layover :)
Ashleigh Nankivell RaizesJanuary 1, 2011aesthetically pleasing and very classy, inexpensive sparkling wine selection, beat waiting at gate.
ninaFebruary 8, 2012Stop here! Great food and great wine! Looking forward to our next trip through here!
Located by gate C33, across from the store that sells Native American crap.
Kevin LaheyJanuary 1, 2012If you're gonna sell Opus One by the glass it might be cool to have some better beer than Stella. Just saying'.
Chris MullinsJanuary 30, 2010Great wine list by the glass, and a menu good enough to keep you coming back - even if it weren't in an airport.
Christopher SternJune 10, 2012Order the glass and a half wine. Unless your a pilot you're not about to drive anywhere.

"Treat the agents right, they’ll treat you right. Can you imagine the number of people these agents deal with on a daily basis, and a lot of them are not bringing sugar and honey when they speak."
