I dined here on February 23 and would recommend this establishment to my closest friends and relatives. My out of state guest and I were served by David, who was friendly without being familiar, and attentive without being intrusive. He epitomized the caliber of staff one hopes for and expects in a fine dinning establishment. My guest and I each enjoyed a 10 oz petite fillet cooked to our specific tastes and served at optimum temperature. I had the Caesar salad and my guest the mixed greens salad. Both salads were expertly prepared with very fresh ingredients and arrived with a compliment of breads. For sides I really enjoyed the Romanov Potatoes (It was like a big puff of fluffy scalloped potato with cheese) and my guest the garlic green beans which were crisp and delicious. The ice cream desert was billed as hand made, implying "in-house". Even though it was premium quality I have my doubts as they tasted like my favorite Blue Bell flavors.
Dinner was served with a bottle of Faust Cabernet Sauvignon. I don't remember the year. It was what one would expect at $105.00 a bottle and I returned home with the re-corked bottle.

THE CHOCOLATE BAR IS AMAZING!!!!!! I'm not origionally from Houston. I'm in Houston for an internship and came across The Chocolate Bar in a google search. The title gave it away for me. I was sold. I am a huge chocolate lover and love this place. They have candies cakes and ice cream. What more could you want?
The only complaint I had while I was there was the service. Both times I have gone there have been quite a few workers but they weren't very attentive. They were more concerned with chatting with each other than helping me. They weren't terrible but they could have been better. It was not even close to being bad enough that I wouldn't go again.
If I could I would eat at The Chocolate Bar everyday. The food is wonderful. Warning: don't go on a full stomach and make sure you are ready to enjoy all the wonderful things it has to offer!
GO ON NOW GO!!
Pros: Chocolate
Cons: The Workers

Thankfully Chuck is back, and the food and service have improved drastically. My daughter, and a party of about 20 went for dinner New Year's Eve, and everyone raved. My daughter has declared the pizza crust the best in town, and we're going back tomorrow.
I raised her right, so if she says the crust is fantastic, I believe her. I was born and raised in NYC, so I pride myself on my pizza standards.
I have had most everything on the menu, and as long as Chuck is running the show, it has been perfection.
Let's all give a big cheer that "Chuck is back in charge!"
Pros: Everything once you're inside
Cons: Parking can be a problem.

Ok, where can you go to get incredible vocalist, an incredible view of the city and an owner that sings on Saturday nights with the bands-----that can sing........Skybar.
You take an elevator up umteenth floors, 10$ cover and your in with decent gear. The drinks seemed to be around 8-9$, but the service was fast. There are couches outside with candles and plenty of room to escape and just view the city. And of course, it's a penthouse view with tons of windows to see the city. The singers were incredible with soul that night. I think it's for the R&B community from all I can tell. Most people were dressed nice, kinda like business wear. I got in with a nice pair of jeans, collared shirt and dress shoes without a second glance. They advertise no t-shirts or sneakers, but jeans are fine. Try parking in the grocery store across, I think it's free. Otherwise you pay to park in the garage and there is a walk down to the first floor for the elevator. We had an awesome time!

My fiance and I went here for brunch on Sunday. We arrived at 9:45 am and we had to wait about ten minutes, which was not bad at all. However, by the time we left, the line was all the way around the building. I had the chicken and waffles, which were absolutely amazing. My fiance had eggs, sausage, and potatoes, which were also phenomenal. It was by far the best brunch we have ever had, and we weren't even drinking!
Pros: Extremely good food and price.
Cons: Could be a long wait, depending on the time.

Mai is the best, she's still in business. If you're looking for someone who only does color, Mai is your girl! she's skilled, knowledgeable, very fast and affordable. I've been going to Mai since she was at Visible Changes, that's like 8 or 9 years ago. She was the best then and now still better then ever. She's very knowledgeable with color and will educate you on how to maintain and protect your hair and color. Oh ask her about Moroccan oil, it's like the best thing for your hair. And yes her color is very natural looking, that's what got me hooked and keep going back. She's really good with fixing other hairstylists mistakes, I've seen her work her magic on other people when she would squeeze me in between her clients. She's very accommodating and always on time. And now I got my husband to go to Mai to color his hair, took 10yrs off him, we're happy campers. Thanks Mai and keep doing what you do best!
She's still in business so go see for yourself.
Pros: best color, affordable, friendly

Etheria is a gorgeous place with a very nice atmosphere and lots of friendly people. Wilson, who does hair, has a brilliant eye for what looks good, and his up dos could withstand Hurricane Ike, much less a night out. Louisa gives wonderful facials.
Pros: Good atmosphere, good service
Cons: Expensive
