If you are in the mood for delicious barbecue ~ look no further! I have enjoyed ever meal! i strongly urge you to try the jalapeno corn - if you aren't already addicted (warning...you will be!) ~ generous sized portions - from a very generous group of people! if you haven't had them cater an event for you - you are missing out!
Pros: ok really delicious bbq too!

Service: attentive but not intrusive; Serving size: perfect; Ambiance: romantic and friendly; Food: beautiful, delicious, varied but not unrelatable.
I loved this restaurant for all the usual reasons, but the best part for me was that the desserts weren't just tiny reheated overpriced ways to get more money out of the customers. We had the apple crepes and the cheese and fruit plate, and they were clearly made with care in-house, and were as delicious as the rest of the menu items.

I come to this place for 2 reasons: The Cleverly Roll and Melvin the Bartender. Sure, the atmosphere is nice (you get a good mix of the hip hop crowd and buxom blondes and their dooshbag boyfriends) and the music is really fun, but the food is AMAZIN' and Melvin can make a mean drink. He's super cute and super muscular too. It's too bad that my other favorite staff members- Kelly, Karla and Angie left, because then I would have 5 reasons to hop at this joint, but 2 is good enough for me. Viva la Rickshaw!!!
Pros: Melvin
Cons: early closing time.

I've had the oppurtunity to explore 20 different MLB parks over the past few years, and clearly the "Juicebox" is the best. Parking is as easy as any stadium that I've been to. During the summer it's not unusual for it to feel like 110 or 115, so the roof is very necessary. It's pleasant during April, so it's nice to enjoy baseball outdoors in Houston. It doesn't take long to figure out that the seats are quite small, which is a compromise for the new intimate ballparks. What really makes it the best are the Astros fans. They're loud, but not obnoxious or drunk- for the most part. When the roof is closed, there is no louder stadium in baseball. A visiting fan can easily enjoy a game without any hassle. Love to see all of the unusual fan clubs around the stadium as well. I disagree with all who complained about the price. You've got to be smart and plan for trips to any stadium. I've been there 6 times and everytime spent a reasonable amount of money. Yeah parking is expensive if you park across the street, but you can buy a MMP parking pass for $15 and that makes it sooo easy to get on 59 or 45. Just stop complaining about price. Yes tickets to the dome were cheap, but the food was the same price and tasted bad, and you HAD to pay $20 to park and still had to walk a mile across Reliant Park to get into the dome. Don't even get me started on how long it took to get out of that God forsaken parking lot!!!
Pros: Parking, Atmosphere
Cons: Size of seats, Screen is not HD

We have worked with Dean and Charla for several months.
First, a word of caution about other dog trainers. Your dog has a window of opportunity when he or she is young to learn the essentials of good, social behavior. Once that window closes, retraining is difficult. We made the mistake of using :supermarket" trainers early and they were inexperienced for the types of issues our dog was having. It ended up being a huge waste of money, and our problems remained.
So . . . . if you want the job done right, you have to go to real professionals, and that's what Charla and Dean at Rover Oaks are. Both of them have real experience in dog training and have worked with service animals, etc.
We have had many weeks of experience with both of them and found them to be consistently patient and intelligent in their approach to our dog.
I think their proces are definately the "market" rate, and not more expensive than others despite what you might think from the label "pet resort." In fact, you will waste far more money on useless devices and poor training if you go elsewhere.
Pros: Expertise, patience, amazing faciliites
Cons: full schedule, so call early

Very good Italian food, much better that chains like Carrabba's and the like. The food is fresh and well-prepared, and the service is excellent. They have a good kid's menu, and a very nice wine list. It gets busy here, so definitely make a reservation if you want to eat during peak hours.

I got my puppy potty trained here and they did a fabulous job! I am one satisfied customer! The trainers are so nice and they fully explained to me how the whole process works. They were a joy to work with! I think that the prices are a bit on the pricey side but it was definitely worth it!
