ive dined at a lot of italian places throughout the country and esp in houston. Many of those have been Vallone restaurants. This one ranks up there as the worst dining experience in one of their restaurants. jeff the owner is not the host his father was. you can get better food at any of the places they used to own, before they sold them out to landrys. the strawberry ricotta cake was the only highlight of my trip here. myself and 2 others frequented for a quick dinner, knowing the vallones past restaurants. never again. go to la griglia or any other landry place. the trout was had small bones, one of which i swallowed. the meatballs were crusted over and burned. meatballs are one of the easiest things to make and they were crunchy, dry and burnt. thank god for the good dessert . i wont be coming back.
Pros: strawberry ricotta dessert
Cons: small bones in the fish, burnt meatballs, stale bread
