“ The service is friendly, although a bit slow at times. The food options offer lite bites but also some choices for an entire meal, the prices are reasonable. This is attached to Phoenicia so it's the perfect spot to sit down, have some food, and check out the international items that Phoenicia has to offer before or after. There is street parking and Phoenicia also offers garage parking although that can feel a bit tight. ”
“ It was delicious. This was on my list because Seed Oil Scout states that they don't use seed oils. I got a chicken sandwich and we had the plantain chip appetizer and everything was absolutely delicious. Service wasn't top-tier, but wasn't awful! The ambience was good with a jazz band playing. It was super super loud, but we sat close to the stage so it was to be expected. Overall, I would love to be back! In the market that it's connected to is so cute! ”
“ Went here for a team lunch and had a decent time. We can early so there wasn't a wait or it wasn't packed. The ambiance was pretty cool. There is a stage area with a piano, I'm sure there lots of open mic nights or some sort of entertainment that happens at this bar. We ordered pizza and fries and everything was pretty good. Nothing really stood out to me but it was tasty and I would go back again ”
“ Surprisingly good prices and food options. I split the tangy wings (which were large), the cauliflower bites (looked tiny but tasted amazing), and the MKT salad for two of us and it was under $50. We also got gelato afterward and their flavors were delicious. Great spot before catching a Rockets game or concert at Toyota Center! ”
“ Great every time we go and everything we get is awesome. Five stars for George as well. No one makes you feel more at home and glad to see you come in than him. Brunch, steak night, happy hour, they do it all. Live music at brunch to boot. All this and attached to a world class market! This is a must do! ”
