Summary: 5 star setting doesn't compensate for lack of flavor, tough meat, and price point.

Really wanted to like this place. The history of the building, the background of the owner, the setting. New to Houston I was hoping this would be a gem that I'd frequent as family etc visited. Interested to know if I came on a bad night, but was so underwhelmed by the food and service.

Service: a response to asking if the waiter could do something to prop up a very uneven table noticed immediately as we sat down - probably. Nothing happened, I folded up my napkin and managed to balance it out - asked for a new napkin. Asked for bread (complimentary) to go with our soup about 6 times before it arrived. I think the waiter was frustrated with whoever was meant to action that request. Was some staff bickering over confusion in front of us which I normally wouldn't care about but just emphasized the experience we were having.
