Review content:
My partner and I went here last night and will definitely be back. An amazing restaurant with, hands down, some of the best food in Houston. We had a chance to meet the owner and chef both and were told that the original Scandanavian approach they had taken didn't go over so well, so they've changed the menu to a more American fare - and a great decision it was.
We started off the meal with a bottle of St. Michele Riesling and the Semolina-crusted Calamari with Chipotle Aioli. This calamari was not greasy at all, rather a perfectly fried crust that did not fall off when you pick it up. The calamari has enough taste to stand on its own, however the aioli was fantastic.
We asked about the soups and opted to both split a small cup of the Cream of Leek soup. The only regret was that we didn't opt for a larger portion by getting a bowl. I have never had any type of leek soup before, but this soup was amazing.
I ordered the Coriander Duck Breast atop rice noodles and asian slaw in an asian soy sauce. On the first bite I literally put my fork down and said ""wow!"" The duck was juice and succulent with a sweet/savory combination that just fills your mouth. The soy sauce it was cooked in is amazing. Went perfectly with the slaw and rice noodles. My partner had the Braised Short Ribs with a Cream Cheese Polenta cake. I had to steal a taste and was very impressed. Literally melted in your mouth. The polenta cake was cooked with a touch of thyme that added a really nice flavor.
We ended the meal with a handmade apple tart with fresh blueberries and ice cream and my partner had the Blueberry Shortcake with fresh blueberries, both of which were nothing short of fantastic.
We have visited hundreds of restaurants in Houston and this is now in our top 3 favs. Elizabeth the owner, Jimmy Peterson (formerly Lancaster Hotel) the executive chef and our server Gideon made this a fantastic experience. You'd be doing yourself an injustice not to experience this place.
Pros: Best Calamari in Houston, Great Service
Cons: A/C could have been a little cooler
