Driss always takes great care of us! I'm always happy to see him. The coffee is wonderful, I like mine black & it passes the test.

We had no food, but loved that they had depression Era drinks menu currently. I finally settled on the Bees Knees, it was sublime. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looks amazing, they had a giant leather bound photo album that included a "before" picture.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our bartender was so much fun! read more

The food was mediocre, both breakfast and dinner. The service was quick and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The design, while a bit dark, was true to the period and bank genesis.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Let me start off by saying that the Line & Lariat is definitely a spot to hit while you are in Houston. Based inside the Historic Hotel Icon as the hotels premier bar and restaurant, I can tell you that the service is amazing and the food and drinks are really good. Jaito and Jennifer take really good care of you at the bar and the restaurant staff are superb as well. Ask them to pull the big book dedicated to the history of the hotel. The experience here definitely made my stay I. Houston worth it: Thank you all for making my trip special. Mia read more

I stay at the Hotel Icon every year now for over 2 decades and I have always found the breakfast at Line & Lariat to be excellent. There are a few servers who have been there for many years. I look forward to seeing them each year. They are great people and very attentive to your needs. Driss is one in particular that is so friendly and seems to read your mind about what you will need. The food is excellent and there is always plenty to go around in the buffet for breakfast. I would highly recommend it. And the ambience is very cool. It is sort of retro post art deco. read more

If your first reaction when you hear "I had dinner at the hotel bar" is "Ugh!" you'd be right about 90% of the time. Line & Lariat, however, is the exception to the rule! First, and most importantly, the staff, Jennifer & Jasmine, are friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I don't care how good a restaurant's food is, if their staff doesn't set the right tone, the entire restaurant is guaranteed to leave a bad taste in my mouth. These guys, and the expiditer/busser as well, were quite simply wonderful. The food also happens to be excellent and reasonably priced! I had fish and chips, which is very easy to make poorly. Line & Lariot, however, knocked it out of the park! The chocolate cake was also perfection, which was another nice surprise. (I once managed a similar restaurant downtown - Culpepper's in the early 90's, and I waited tables at Tony's in the late 80's, so my expectations are exceedingly high when it comes both to staff training and food). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Hotel Icon is a special, and beautiful, hotel I've loved since its incredible grand opening about 20-years ago.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Line & Lariat more than earns its place in the hotel's elegant lobby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Line & Lariat is the perfect spot for drinks and a bite before and/or after the theatre.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ms. Jennifer was very kind and extremely attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great drinks and great vibes, 10/10 recommend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Jairo was the bartender when I visited. Let me tell you, he was kind, warm, and considerate. He didn't mind when I asked him about what the drinks had. I told him I didn't want to mix alcohol and he managed to make my drinks with the same liquor to fulfill my request. I felt safe and cared for during my interactions with Jairo. read more

10/10! We are staying at the hotel and decided to have a drink at the bar. It was exceptional and so we decided to try the food as opposed to going to one of our downtown staples. Best decision. The Barbacoa nachos and the charcuterie board were sooo good. The guy next to us had a steak salad and truffle fries and said they were delicious as well. Do yourself a favor and order the Ma Berry - one of the best drinks I've ever had. Jairo was our bartender and was 10/10 as well. read more

Jasmine She was incredible. Is this spot even considered top 5 downtown Houston??? Because it should be. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the hotel and bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Glad we picked this spot and will come back!! read more

Jasmine and Jennifer, "Jenny" were phenomenal! They were so welcoming, kind, and helpful. Had lunch at the restaurant and then had an after-dinner drink. They helped us pick out great drinks. We had a low blood sugar hours later (diabetic) and as they were closing, I had to run down and get juice in an Emergency because we didn't have any with us. They immediately ran and got a coke and poured us juices, in the middle of the night and didn't require a charge-they said "don't worry I got you!" Best bar service I've had at a hotel. Friendly lovely people! thanks Jen and Jasmine! read more
