I was left to decide on a place for a dinner birthday celebration downtown, and this was the spot I…read moredecided on for my friend and I after being given some preferences to consider. This restaurant sits inconspicuously at the ground level of the Lancaster Hotel and has gone through many iterations over the years. We were lucky as it was quite empty minus the small bar section. The World Cup quarter finals were playing and had the attention of almost all. There were a small handful of people dining in on a Saturday night. The menu boasted quite a selection with some innovative selections plus reliable favorites. We started with the deviled eggs collection, which if you're a fan of deviled eggs, you must order! All but one was delicious and recognizable as a deviled egg. The one I didn't enjoy had a really sour flavor. The Caesar salad was exactly how I enjoy it! The white anchovies and capers were the perfect addition as was the parmigiana reggiano. The uncut hearts of romaine were nicely stacked. The croutons though were some of the worst I've hard. They were not crunchy, and instead they were reminiscent of stale bread. They needed a lot more butter as well. The Lancaster crab cake was pretty good but not top tier. Some high quality lump back meat would have really elevated this. I really enjoyed the extra thin and crispy potato sticks and frisse that were served with the crab cake. The sweet chile like sauce brought it all together nicely. I sampled some of the pork ribeye requested medium, and wow was it tender and juicy! My dining partner didn't enjoy the potatoes though and felt they could have been creamier. The sangria I ordered took quite some time to concoct and make its way to my table, but it was a strong and generous. Despite the flaw we found in each dish, we still enjoyed the meal and would welcome a return visit.

We were warmly greeted by Mark soon after entering the restaurant. Our server, Fernanda, was polite, welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menu. We shared the bacon wrapped figs stuffed with blue cheese as our appetizer. Followed that with sharing the beet salad. The figs could even serve as a dessert! I ordered the beef short ribs-they were fork tender and delicious. My husband enjoyed the rack of lamb. It was flavorful and cooked to perfection. Our cocktails and glasses of wine did not disappoint. Thanks again to Mark for making us feel so welcomed. Hope to see you again soon.

Will definitely come back.

Went here for a wedding this past weekend and enjoyed the vibe, decor, and atmosphere. The servers…read morewere also wonderful and so kind. However, the food and the drinks were just okay. To start many of the specialty cocktails were pre made and a cube of ice was added once ordered. I could understand this if it was a party of 200 or more, but there were about 60 or so of us and many were not ordering cocktails. It is Houston and the flies were out and buzzing, so this was a concern (especially since one landed in my wine). I ended up having my old fashioned remade due to the first one tasting super watered down. Unfortunately that ended up being thrown away after just a couple of sips as the staff did their job very well and it got thrown away--this just means I was not meant to have it. Now to the food. I was not super impressed by the main entrees, but the nacho bar was amazing! They had such a great variety of chips, proteins, salsas, vegetables, and other toppings. This could have been a meal just by itself. Dinner was just okay as the mixed vegetables and chicken were really only edible, the potatoes, kale salad, and rice fell very flat as they lacked seasoning and substance. So thankful that I got a good fill from the nacho bar. Overall I had a wonderful time, but the food and drinks could have been a little better especially based on its reputation and presentation.

We came to this restaurant on Sunday with a party of six after having a bad experience at another…read morerestaurant, and unfortunately, this experience was not much better. I stood in line for about 30 minutes waiting for someone to come to the counter. When the employee finally came up, I simply asked if she was ready, and she immediately responded with an attitude, stating that she was there by herself, had no help, and was running everything alone. While I understand that staffing issues can be stressful, that should not be taken out on paying customers. As customers, we have no control over who shows up to work or how the restaurant is staffed. We are there to eat, pay for our food, and receive basic customer service. The employee then became more upset and stated that if I did not want to be there, I could leave. This was very unprofessional. I did end up staying and eating, but the food was mediocre and hard. The rest of my party also felt the food was not good. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. I will not be returning to this establishment and would not recommend it based on the poor customer service and food quality.

I came back here this past weekend under direct orders to give it another try because of new ownership- same name. Came here around 11am for brunch.. was getting busy! And wow. Was i pleasantly surprised! Parking still alil sketch but i see that there is an invisible no homeless vagrant force field that seems to keep the questionables out of the parking area. Also a visible valet force to further deter people who identify as bad guys. Walked in- cooler ambiance and "vibe" than before. Fresh squeezed orange juice- quickly stolen and drank by my son. I ordered the arepas benedict- fantastic, eggs done perfect, tasty and hot. Also pigged out on the Bae Toast- bacon avocado and egg - easy simple clean deliciousness Kids enjoyed their meals - good ol chicken fingers and the other had pancakes. Yum!

The house was half full at night.. The bartender came right away to my seat and brings me some water and offered what I wanted to have. I started with their Prosecco cause I was just there for a drink but decided to try the food since it looks so good. I just wanted a "small bite" so I ordered the meatballs appetizer when I tell you this was a full serving with delicious bread in the side and yummy fresh mozzarella on top. The meat was so flavorful delicious and the sauce was just right not too sweet and with the right Italian seasoning. It was a whole vibe with the music and the place itself. It's really cute. I think it's great for our date or little one on one meeting with a friend. At the end, I wanted to try one of their wines so the bartender offer. The one I show in the picture. It was a great recommendation. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. The staff was super helpful kind and fun I really had a good time that night. ********CHECK OUT THEIR SCHEDULE SOME NIGHTS THWY HAVE LIVE MUSIC AND ITS DEFINITELY A MUST *********

My server Amanda provided excellent advice and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Even though it appears several events were happening at the same time, Amanda consistently made sure we were taken care of. An added bonus was talking with Michael the manager, who provided more information on dishes, the chef and was very personable. The ambiance feels lounge like to me. I could easily sit and chill, or work a bit if I wanted to. Music selections were nice when I could hear them, over the event energy. I wasn't bothered I had a great time. Now the food!!! Lord!!! Everything I tasted was really good!!! My margarita, my empanada appetizer, to my carnitas entree and dessert (I chose the bread pudding, but my sister tried the date cake dessert, Baby!

So plenty of time to enjoy a meal and friends. I will definitely be back.

Food: I placed an order of 12 different lunches for my…read morecolleagues and board members. I had the Pepito Steak Sandwich and Garlic Potato Wedges and OMG, it was beyond what I could've imagined. The steak was well seasoned, tender, cooked to perfection, and served with yummy garlic potato wedges. Everyone was impressed and beyond pleased with their food orders. I ate half of my meal at The Ion and saved the other half for dinner. It was so satisfying. Service: I walked in and was not immediately greeted by several of the people behind the front bar. I greeted them several times before I received a response. All of a sudden, out of nowhere this beautiful and jovial young lady came up to me and welcomed me with an amazing smile. I immediately forgot all about the others, lol. Alyssa quickly took control as I handed her my 'list' of everyone's order. She asked me a couple of questions before heading to the back. When Alyssa returned, she offered me a drink, water, etc. and I happily opted for a Topo-Chico. She walked around the kitchen staff checking on our orders and quickly began labeling each plate as I requested. Each interaction with Alyssa was exchanged with an authentic smile. Every business needs an ALYSSA THANK YOU!!! Additionally, a server (so sorry I forgot his name) who was professional and provided quality customer service checked on me continuously. Between him and Alyssa, my wait time seemed to have been reduced drastically. It was truly a pleasant experience. Atmosphere: The setting was classy, well manicured, and inviting. I will definitely be visiting again in the near future. My only advice is for management to coach the gentlemen and lady working in the section upon entry on the left-hand side. It's pretty important to greet patrons as soon as they step foot into an establishment. Although they didn't immediately speak to me, they were speaking amongst each other in Spanish. As a Afro-Latina, I was able to listen and understand their conversation (not eavesdropping lol).
