I recently hosted a client dinner at Flair Taverna and was thoroughly impressed. The service was superb—truly the best I've experienced at any establishment in Odessa. From the moment we arrived, the staff was attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was perfect. The food was delicious, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The ambiance added to the experience, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that was perfect for our dinner. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend Flair Taverna for any occasion.

Chicken Alfredo has no seasoning. Nothing special about it. Taste like it came from a can honestly. Servixr at thr bad was good but the bar tender asked us every 5 minutes did we want to order. Felt rushed. Place us dark as if vampires were waiting to jump out. Had to cut my phone like on to see the menu. Im like 36 so no I don't need glasses yet lol. Over all 3/5. Nothing bad nothing septal. Basic West Texas Italian food.

Sunday March 15. The Carpaccio was perfect and the Rack of lamb, almost miraculous! The level of service and care shown by our garçon was superb. The passion and devotion "G" has for his Masterpiece is undeniable and greatly appreciated. lilium inter spinas. Thank you Flair! It is now July 31st and I am sitting at a quiet little table enjoying a beautiful chicken dish. Flair never fails...the service is at such a level that it almost startles me. If this taverna ever closes its doors, a part of me will most certainly wither away. Bravo Flair Taverna!

We recently visited Flair Taverna for a late birthday dinner and it was amazing! We have heard about Flair Taverna for a while and finally made the quick drive from Midland to Odessa to visit. It will definitely be a go-to restaurant for us moving forward. Service and food were 10/10!

I love this place! I always have a great experience! I’ve had most of the items on the menu and it’s all delicious. Tonight we used door dash, I had their spaghetti… It’s better than my moms! (Mom if you read this, I’m sorry… I love you 😅) The whole Flair family always gives great friendly service. The atmosphere is chill during the lunch/evening hours and it’s lit during their speak easy after hours.

I’d been wanting to try this place for a while and it was a very nice experience! The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was welcoming and modern, and although the food took a little while to come out, it was super tasty, and I must say like everyone else in these reviews, try the crab cakes!!

FINALLLLLLYYYY!!!! I have found a Tavern with a certain… flair!!!! Top notch world class food with a top notch first class staff!!! Have I found my new favorite place to eat in west Texas??? YOU BETCHA!

Stopped in today for the first time for an anniversary meal. Absolutely delightful! Food was delicious, and our waiter, Christian, provided excellent customer service!! We will definitely be back!!

I loved this restaurant! If you’re looking for something romantic and with great food, this is a great option. Ask for Ashley—she provides excellent service, very attentive, with great customer care.

Our recent visit to Flair Taverna didn’t go as planned. The restaurant was packed with large, loud tables, and it was clear the staff was overwhelmed. Service was slow, and the atmosphere felt chaotic. It wasn’t the best first impression, and we left feeling disappointed. However, what happened next truly set this restaurant apart. The owner personally reached out, genuinely concerned about our experience, and invited us to give them another try. We decided to return, and I’m so glad we did. This time, the atmosphere was much more relaxed—the large groups had cleared out, and the restaurant had a comfortable, welcoming vibe. Not only was the service fantastic, but the food was excellent as well. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it was clear they truly care about their customers. What could have been a one-star review turned into a five-star experience, thanks to the owner’s dedication and the team’s hard work. If you’re looking for a restaurant where the staff values their guests and is willing to make things right, Flair Taverna is worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing place. Great atmosphere. Food is outstanding. Had a live two man band on a Friday night. Love it!!

It was our first time eating here, Won't be our last! Food was so delicious, great portions! Very very good!

Food was amazing! We will definitely come back. Atmosphere was calm amd chill definitely date night.

This place is amazing! Great service! Fun hidden gem! The food was wonderful and did not disappoint. We will def be back.

Excellent food and service. Chilean sea bass was so good. Blueberry bread pudding was to die for… A dessert not meant to be shared, it was that good 😁

Every time I come to this place I never regret it. I always get the rack of lambs and a Guinness. The lamb is by far the best I’ve ever had anywhere. The owner does a very good job keeping this place in amazing shape and always finds time to greet his customers.

Always fantastic food! Excellent service! Great atmosphere! Perfect place for that little sexy dress and guys can spruce it up too.

I’ve eaten here multiple times now, and every visit has been nothing short of excellent. The food is absolutely delicious and well worth the price. The filet is always cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and consistently satisfying. It’s easily become my go-to dish. The appetizers are just as impressive. The bruschetta and the caprese are a priority here. What truly makes this place stand out, though, is the outstanding customer service. The staff is always welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. It didn’t take long before I became a regular, and it’s now one of my favorite spots to dine. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates great food and even better service.

First time to go there since it became Flair Taverna. The food is amazing, and the service it top notch. The dessert was pretty yummy as well!

Helllo!! So I must say the experience at this restaurant was the best! My waitress was so kind and sweet! The food was delicious! And plated so beautifully! I only got one picture though! If you can try the Lamb dish! It’s amazing!! Thank you so much Flair Taverna for making my birthday dinner amazing! We had so much fun trying the different food! The Creme brûlée was amazing! And I do not like custards. I got the blueberry cinnamon roll desert thing. I honestly can not remember what it was called. But it was amazing! I got a cup of coffee with it (look how cute the creamer is!) and honestly I want that for breakfast now. I would definitely say this a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was delicious and waitresses was outstanding. A bit pricey but I knew that going in and that was why I was there. I wanted the best and they did just that. Wife loved the lobster ravioli and I loved the rack of lamb.

Everytime we've come here it's always excellent food, service and atmosphere is fantastic 👌🏿 10/10

Always good food, great drinks, awesome atmosphere! Great live music on weekends!

This place was a pleasant surprise. With all the failed places that have been at that location, it’s great to have a really good restaurant in place. The service was outstanding, we had Nadia as our waitress and she was absolutely fantastic. Very attentive and very polite. We had butternut squash ravioli as an appetizer and it was popping with flavor ! Also had the tomato basil soup and it was so great I’m still thinking about it ! I had the roasted chicken al limone as my entree and it was so delicious. Big portion as well. My wife is a vegetarian and she had the cheese ravioli and she was very pleased with her plate. Lots of vegetarian options. The way they dress the plates are outstanding as well. Can’t wait to come back and I’ll save room for dessert this time!

Popped in accidently not knowing what to expect. Turned out to be a group of good people working together. Welcomed as I arrived and seated quickly. Live music playing, good people behind the bar. I need to visit again as I know that "Brown Sneakers" plays there frequently. Food looks really good but this visit didn't try. Lots of space to move around even when tables are positioned before music starts and they get cleared out. Thanks for a great visit..see you soon

A very nice place to have a good time with friends and enjoy a really good meal. The atmosphere is very relaxed , the staff is very friendly and attentive. Music is not loud, you can hold a conversation with our yelling. The wait time was minimal for a weekday. We all ordered the Ribeye steak, it was cooked to perfection with great sides to compliment our steak. Look fwd to going back and try other meals on the menu.

We definitely recommend Flair Tavera! The food is really good! We had the mussels, crab cakes, lamb, chilean sea bass, steak and chicken. All of the food was beautifully prepared and delicious. Evian was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We will be back!

12-22-21: I ordered the chicken alfredo and it was extremely delicious and fresh. The food was hot and a generous portion of food. I ordered the calamari as a appetizer and it tasted fresh and was pretty good as well. The bread was hot and tasted fresh and tasty. The inside of the restaurant is extravagant and a fancy vibe for sure. I highly recommend trying out this local homemade restaurant in Odessa.

Exceptional food, great service, damn good old fashioned. This was thoroughly surprising. First time in the small town of Odessa, this is not the type of experience one expects. Had a double order of the lobster rav, which if we are being honest, should be the default, the bruschetta, a ceaser, and the bread pudding. It was all great. Don't miss out on this place if you are traveling through town. Great Italian joint that would hold up anywhere.

So forget it was "Scratch Kitchen " or "Sid's Place", there is a new owner and new game going on at now " Flair Taverna ". This is a real Italian restaurant. Very authentic food and very good. Had a great experience there. For all of you looking for something new in Odessa this is it.

I have to say this place exceeded our expectations!! The server Brittany….where did you guys find her?! Talk about exceptional very knowledgeable very professional she over did herself! The chef we thank you as well our pallets danced along with the awesome live band with amazing drinks We had A lemon drop martini and an old-fashioned. Thank you guys loved it

OMG!! Must get their rack of lamb. It was so divine! And everything leading up to it was fantastic. From appetizers to dessert, and service in between, this place will have you feeling special when you leave.

This place is over the top. Every dish is a unique experience. Try a smoked Old Fashioned and the crab cakes! *My server Kim deserves a raise! She is always attentive and very kind. **Christopher and Kim here again today. Great atmosphere. Completely relaxed! Love these guys! **Brittany is the best! Just had the Murphy. Fantastic!!!

So good! The crab cakes were really great. I tried the apple martinis.. yum. Our favorite part of the meal was the blueberry bread pudding. Our waitress was very attentive. Wonderful experience overall. Best place we've tried in Midland to date. We will be back!!

I visited for my first time on Sunday. They had me at homemade pasta! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by kind, smiling faces. The decor of the restaurant was clearly planned with love. The ceiling tiles are spotless, and the air vents do not have a spec of dirt on them. I always look at the ceilings of restaurants to judge the cleanliness. The way they up-cycled the vintage glass insulators into lights was beautifully done. They also inserted shelves in the corners of the booths to place handbags, which is a thoughtful touch. We began our meal with the bruschetta. You can tell that their olive oil and balsamic are of high quality. For the main course, I had the cheese ravioli (off of the children’s menu), and it was cooked perfectly! Al dente all the way! It is difficult to find pasta in the basin that is not overcooked. We wrapped up the meal with the cream brûlée. The only criticism I have is the caramelized sugar on top was a bit too thick. But, nonetheless, delicious. I would highly recommend!

Everything was SOOOO tasty! We had the crab cakes for an appetizer. It was well presented and the taste was great. I got the flair Chicken and I love how creamy it was. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. GREAT SERVICE. We brought my mom here for Mother’s Day and we all loved it. We are definitely coming back.

Visiting from Waco. Wow, the salmon and ribye were incredible. Both were very delicious. Nice low light environment during the evening. Friday staff and fast service. It wasn't very busy.

Best restaurant we have found so far in West Texas! My husband and I went here for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary and everything was delicious! From the salads, to the drinks, to our meals it was all on point and worth the money. Our server was so nice and actually knowledgeable (this is getting harder and harder to find). He was able to answer any questions we had and in detail! We can't wait to go back and try some more items on their menu! Pictured is the Ribeye!

Worth the trip. Service was outstanding, especially Brittany who gave me a tour of their wine cellar. The food was so so good. The restaurant area is very nice and the bar area resembles a speakeasy. Such a great place!

The food here was absolutely amazing! We ordered the Ribeye steak and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly! Our server was Christopher and he was just as amazing! We definitely recommend this restaurant hands down! We were so happy we found this place in Odessa and will be eating here every time we are in town!

Absolutely wonderful experience. The food was absolutely perfectly prepared. Honestly, one of the best lamb dishes I’ve had in a restaurant. Ubique, cooked perfectly. The lobster ravioli was sublime. True homemade pasta, perfectly cooked seafood and the sauce was *chefs kiss* perfection. The service was outstanding. Attention to detail was beautiful and our waitress was wonderful. So sweet and friendly even with the attempt to pay at the end 🤣 thank you!!

Unbelievable, wow, ribeye was the best that the gf loved the stuffed shrimp. Back to the ribeye, honestly the best in West Texas for me so far, peppercorn sauce was off the rails! Great experience. Tell dumb kids to take their hats off though.

Best date night I’ve had in the Midland Odessa area in 10 years. Everyone’s food was amazing!! Service was great and I loved the lemon drop martinis! The band was fabulous!!!

I cannot say enough nice things about this place yall! The owners are phenomenal and deserve all the praise and success of this restaurant. The food was perfect. From the appetizer(can you really go wrong with Mediterranean mussels) right down to the dessert (get the blueberry bread pudding, it comes out on a sizzling cast iron and you won’t be disappointed). The service, management and food was incredible. I’m so thankful for this gem in my hometown! Edit: This is now my third time and decided to get the Pistachio rack of lamb! Statement still holds true, I truly cannot say enough about this place!

We enjoyed our dinner at this fine little restaurant! Higher priced meals but delicious! I had the Surd And Turf Special which I completely enjoyed! Cane with a Ribeye, Shrimp, Lobster, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. My husband had the Flair Chicken and stated he enjoyed it. Dessert was amazing!!!

+2

The food & drinks were fenomenal! The prices were a bit high, but so worth it. Live entertainment made it that much better. The charcuterie board (appetizers)was on point. I had the Lobster ravioli pescato, passion fruit martini & scones for dessert. (ate them before I took pics, sorry).

OMG! Lobster soup is delicious! We also got the shrimp skampi pasta and fetuccini Adriatica and they are the best!

Went with a big party from work, around 60 people. Food came out a little slow, and we did make reservation, so they knew a big party was coming. They were out of ribeye steaks, food came out look warm, but it tasted good. Our servers didn't know seat numbers, so, they were a little overwhelmed I think. But, given the situation, I'll try the place again The crab cakes were incredible!!!

Food was delicious. Very nice atmosphere and waitress provided great service. Highly recommended.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. I've lived here in Odessa for 16 years and had never been in a place where ALL the cristal glasses are perfectly clean. The food is delicious. Service is top notch. And the atmosphere is great. Would definitely keep coming back.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary and it was delicious! Our server "Kacey" was awesome! The environment was nice and romantic. The food was delicious and the drinks were also. We had a great experience and we will definitely be back! :)

Stephani Estrada

We celebrated my birthday, my brother’s, and my mom’s birthday here, and it was absolutely perfect! The service was excellent from start to finish. Our waitress was attentive, kind, and such a pleasure to interact with—she made the night so special. The atmosphere was elegant, and the live jazz music by Marcos’ band created the perfect ambiance. The combination of wonderful service, a beautiful setting, and outstanding music made this a truly memorable triple birthday celebration.

The atmosphere, service and food was so incredible! I enjoyed it so much. Came in last minute after a bad experience somewhere else & we will definitely be back! They have such a GREAT system going & it was truly the BEST experience we've had at a restaurant here in Odessa.

Incredible experience! The atmosphere was lovely, the servers were so professional and the food was incredible! What more can you ask for? The calamari was tender and tartare sauce was delicious. The ravioli were al dente! Highly recommended!

Daisy Heaberlin

The food was great but the reason for the review is because of the excellent experience! We went last night (Friday), and there was a live band playing. Thankfully, we had made a reservation because when we got there, it started filling up fast. Not long after we sat down, we were introduced to our waitress whose name is Ashley. She was magnificent! Our water glass never got empty, we never had plates sitting in front of us that were empty. The musical experience was wonderful by Eric Baker and his lovely wife. It was such a romantic experience. There were some “cowboys” getting really loud and yelling at the bar ruining the atmosphere, but they left soon after. I assume someone said something to them. this was such a romantic place, especially if you’re looking for a date night. Very classy, and upscale. My boyfriend got the lobster risotto (pictured) and he said it was amazing! He also got the Murphy (pictured) and said it was OK. I got the fettuccine and it was OK. The charcuterie board was pretty decent, and their wine list is not excellent, but I got the rosé that paired well with the fettuccine (pictured) and charcuterie board. My boyfriend got a cocktail called the Roxxi (pictured) and he absolutely loved it. Overall, it was one of the best experiences. We will be back. It is a little pricey, so be prepared for that. For everything we got however, it was not that bad. I should also mention that we went around 6 PM or so. The later crowd that started coming in as we were getting ready to leave started changing the atmosphere a little bit. Definitely recommend!

Went to Flair Taverna on Saturday. We started with the calamari. Awesome! Cooked perfectly. Maybe the best breaded calamari I've ever had. Dad had the rack of Lamb. Said it was absolutely wonderful. I took a bite and was wishing I had gotten that as well. Out of this world. My Dad's wife had the chicken parm which is a bit boring but she really enjoyed it. I had the Seafood Paella. The shrimp, clams, and mussels were great. It had a taste I was not thrilled with however, I had never had this dish and knew there was a chance I may not like it. It was cooked well, I had just never had it and wanted to try it. The shrimp were out of this world but the dish in its entirety was not my favorite. May have been the Spanish chorizo or saffron. Our waitress Ashley was absolutely wonderful. She recommended the calamari and I could have eaten a bucket of it. Give this place a shot. Really good food and the staff are the best.

Ashley Blase

We came to Flair Taverna for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. Loved that we could make a reservation on Open Table ahead of time so that we knew there wouldn’t be a long wait time. Our waiter, Raul, was fantastic. He was very attentive and took care of every need. I made the mistake of wearing a white shirt and he taught me that white wine will remove stains in an instant. Who knew?? We ordered drinks, appetizers, and entrees. Everything was so good and fresh. Only complaint was that the pepperoni pizza was very greasy so we had to use napkins to soak up some of the grease but it was delicious. I had the ribeye and it was fantastic. Husband had Lobster ravioli and he was in heaven. Crab cakes were delicious although a little small for the price. I ordered a spicy margarita and it was very spicy but delicious. We enjoyed our meal and will go back for special occasions. It is pricey so probably not somewhere we will visit on a regular night out but for special occasions it’s worth a visit.

This was our first time eating at this restaurant. Our servers name was Miguel and he did a phenomenal job representing the establishment. He was super knowledgeable about each dish and drink they had available. He was attentive without being over bearing. The food was amazing. My husband got the plate that Miguel suggested and was not disappointed. We will for sure have to make another trip here to try the dessert menu because it looked just as impressive as the dinner menu.

EL JURIAS

Great food & completely different than anything around West Texas. I found a plate here that I've only seen in Miami that is usually served as a platter called the Paella it was the 💣 The salmon plate & Lime chicken were also good. From the appetizers down to dessert were delicious 😋 it is pricey but you get what you pay for & this place is worth it.

Service was on point. Quick to seat us, take drink order. Appetizer came out quickly, and was good, but like my crab bites without the crab shell. Order came out very quickly. The ravioli bolognese was good, the bacon Brussel sprouts were very good. The bacon had a homemade flavor to it. The Smokey old fashioned was very good. Would have given five stars, but the crab shell in the crab bite was a let down.

Bar seating section had music nice for loud crowd .. Also has nice quiet place for a peaceful relaxed dinner..Server Christian from Houston area was nice and was always attentive with us and his other tables..Great Job..thank you. Food was good . WINE was chilled ..

I had a skinny margarita and the stuffed shrimp. The skinny margarita was good. The three shrimp were stuffed with crab. My food did not come out with everybody else’s. The dinner was nice, but I’m not sure if I would go back. The price just doesn’t seem to justify it.

This review is long overdue and it’s a positive one! This was my second visit to Flair Taverna. My waiter was Hannah and her service was absolutely flawless and magnificent! I loved having her as our server and she was phenomenal in her duties and performance. I will always remember her name, her face, and her smile in serving us today. She even drew a beautiful smiley face on our receipt, which was the icing on the cake for me. Thank you so much, Hannah! Management, please give Hannah a raise! I came in on a Saturday evening at around 8.35 PM, with no reservations booked beforehand. I was worried I might not be accommodated because I had a feeling others might have reserved a spot but people were walking in on a whim. I ordered the margherita pizza (specifically requesting for minimal cheese)and the gluten free penne arrabiata. Both were fresh and hot. While our pizza did have reduced cheese, as requested, the only problem was that it was overcooked. The center of the pizza was burnt black and, going outwards, the pizza crust was burnt and crispier than needed. The burnt flavor definitely came through in the taste - you could tell. We even checked the bottom and saw that the bread had been overdone. It was an honest mistake but it did indelibly disappoint me. The pasta, however, was still good. My only point for constructive criticism would be that there should be more pasta than sauce; there’s always way too much sauce than pasta. The pasta should be the base and substance of the dish, instead of the sauce. Still, all the flavors were coming through well. The shrimps were well-done and huge. The presentation was exquisite - the dishes were garnished with expert attention. I appreciated the effort given to appearance. Still, I would have appreciated a larger portion of pasta overall. This pasta dish alone costs $26 and it is, in all honesty, not worth that pricetag - the portions are simply too small for the price. Hannah, my brilliant server, checked in on me frequently to offer refills on my Diet Coke or anything else I needed. She was so friendly and such a help. Her smile was very warm and welcoming. I was so glad to have her as my server this evening! For our drinks, she forgot to ask if we wanted ice or not, but no worries._ Upon eating the savory, I then moved on to the sweet: the dessert menu. Flair Taverna has a separate dessert menu - isn’t that amazing? You have to ask for it! I requested it and perused through the options. I’m a dessert person, right to my core. I ordered the Tiramisu and the Chocolate Lava. I even ordered a special request for custom messaging on my desserts for a family member who came with me. Hannah happily obliged to my request and even admitted to me that she loved doing such things. Both dishes that arrived had the custom messaging that I requested; I was elated! I was so surprised that we were able to eat and even have dessert within one hour of their closing time. The ending was perfect. Hannah was the person who put me and my guest in such a good mood. She was attentive, caring, and kind. I hope her smile doesn’t lose its genuineness with time. To all those at this restaurant, I am thankful to you for working here. You mean so much more than you think you do, and I’m sorry more guests don’t express their gratitude to you outright. You are appreciated - at least by me. Thank you for all you do.

Was delicious, also had there Crab Cake Bites .. that are delicious & meal on there own. Pictured is the Cod Special with Mashed Potatoes served with a delicious Lobster Sauce. Desert of Blueberry Bread Pudding was fantastic. If prices were a bit lower I'd definitely be eating there regularly.

jorge martine

I stopped by Flair Taverna for lunch on my own and had a great overall experience. The atmosphere is excellent, relaxed, stylish, and the music really adds to the vibe. This place would be perfect for a date night. My waiter, Chris, was amazing. He was attentive and even offered me an off-menu option when I asked for a chicken lunch. I ended up trying the Al Limon Chicken, which isn’t listed on the menu. To be fair, since it’s not something they regularly make, the flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, the lime was overpowering, and there was a little too much garlic. Even though the dish wasn’t quite what I expected, everything else about the visit was great. I’ll definitely give Flair Taverna a second chance and stick to the menu next time. Will give another try soon.

Atmosphere is tasteful, food not as much. Very pricey for the quality and quantity! Wait staff friendly and attentive, not much so with front desk. Plus is live music, minus to many wait staff standing around, poor music acoustics If you want a good affordable steak go elsewhere.

The exceptional flavors were a true delight, aside from the watermarked glassware. Our dish was meticulously prepared and elegantly presented. Our server provided attentive and anticipatory service. The entire dining experience was exceptional from beginning to end. We highly recommend this establishment for a memorable meal.

Slow slow service and overpriced for the amount of food you don’t get. Order a soda so you don’t have to drink Odessa water. The bruschetta comes with 3 pieces of toast - can’t even finish eating the toppings. Lasagna was burnt on the bottom and couldn’t cut into it much less eat it. Expected a lot more for the price. Will not be returning. The food pictures are 9 months later returning for a second try. My first review, I gave 2 stars. Today, moved up to 3. Service is a lot better, the menu is a lot bigger but way overpriced. The food looks pretty but the flavors were sub par. There will not be a third time.

Lori DeLeon

We were a party of 5 on a Friday night. Although it was busy - the service was pure failure. Food and atmosphere was 5 stars hands down. Our waitress did not listen to us and lied multiple times after we had to inquire about our drinks which took a very long time to be served. Our witness did not come back and check in on us, didn’t offer if we needed any additional items - we had to flag her down and request our product. Service is everything in any experience -Casey puts liar in Flair Taverna. Only gave 1 star for service because I had too - otherwise it would be a 0!

Pablo Herrera

It may have been better before. My paella did not taste good. They said it had too much saffron. The rack of lamb was awesome, but the risotto with it was under cooked and overly oily. Desert was fine. If you know fine dining, you will be disappointed.

Amy O'Neal

The food was good, our steak was over done but they did replace it. The place is a little dark inside you almost need a flashlight to see the menu. Overall nice to try out on a date but a bit on the pricey side for normal visits.

Flex Von

Well, the food fell short. I was having High hopes from seeing reviews that's why I always have to go myself 😂! We ordered the cheese bread for an appetizer, it was like 10 dollars for 4 bites of the thinnest bread dish I've ever seen, nice presentation though. We ordered drinks that took a long time to get there. They have a lot of waitresses making sure your water is full, but speak a little English and can't help with checking on drinks or anything. I ordered a Lobster Risotto dish also for an appetizer 🥘 It came out pretty quick, as I was eating the dish I noticed you can barely see any Lobster 🦞meat at all, that'd were a few minces of meat. I would have been happy with a few small chunks, but almost non existent. I shine that off, then go on to Ordering the rack of lamb, cooked medium🐑. They did great on the cook! The flavor could have used a little more seasoning and some acid(a red wine reduction or balsamic vinegar blend would have brought the dish full circle), it came with risotto but needed something else on the side like Asparagus. My wife ordered the Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine pasta, the pasta itself was good, the flavors were lacking though and that could definitely throw in some more ingredients in there! It was pretty Basic, and the chicken was like like pieces, I'm a cook and wouldn't serve any pasta with chicken looking like that 🤯🤯! It was nice inside, nice setting, staff was nice, also had live music but the band wasn't great and I just wasn't sucked into the experience like I hoped I was. It was super expensive, for what you get really not worth it for me. I would probably go to the bar for a few drinks maybe but I wouldn't go for dinner again. Overall it fell short, I'd give it a 3.4 out of 5 stars and I could Not Reccomend!

The lobster bisque had absolutely ZERO lobster. It was just cream. Literally just cream. There were three caprese and only two small baguettes. There was no basil on it but rather some pesto in a cup. The Nina’s would have been ok had it had more tomatoes.

We ate here as a party of 11. My wife was served someone else meal. Every time he would order a beer, it was delivered to her. His salad, followed by his entree, was also served to her. My ribeye was overcooked and mediocre. I thought some steak sauce would help the situation, but I did not receive it till I literally ate my last piece. Like I said, the steak was not bad, but it wasn't worth the price I paid. The bread that was served was compared to hockey pucks and dog biscuits by many of our group. I was very hard, and the oil provided did not soften it up. Lastly, and probably my biggest complaint was that there was an automatic 20% tip added to every ticket. The service was not worth the AUTOMATIC tip. Several checks had to be altered. I would consider it a fiasco. I would eat here again, but only if someone was treating me! We will enjoy a steak house named after a Texas steer!

Not so great. Smoked old fashioned tasted like they've never made an old fashioned before. Olive oil dipping bowl tasted rancid and oxidized. I can't say I've ever had sweet beef stroganoff and they ruined a 2# lobster tail by cooking it in Odessa water and then over cooking it. Really not impressed. Save your money and your time.

I walked into this restaurant for lunch with high hopes after hearing about many people rave about this place. When I walked in we were seated right away. Our waitress soon after took our drink orders and then disappeared. The waitress seamed to be a cross between half high and angry. She seemed to be annoyed by our requests for water, and we didn't seem to eat fast enough to suit her as she came by 6 times during our main course to ask if we were done. She wouldn't refill our water and instead sent another server to come do that. I ordered the smoked old fashioned for my drink. I found this drink to be yet another poor attempt at a SMOKED Old Fashioned. They bring the drink to the table and light a dish with small wood shavings in it and then put a lid over the top and and trap the smoke in the glass for all of 10 seconds before letting it go. This is not a Smoked Old Fashioned, it is however a good attempt at a traditional Old Fashioned. We ordered the hummus for an appetizer. It had a very mild flavor, and was on the verge of almost tasteless. The saving grace for this appetizer was the pita bread which had a very strong and slightly sweet flavor on its own, which when mixed with the Hummus brought some flavor to the dish. My next course I ordered a soup, the Lobster Bisque. There was no meat whatsoever in this bisque and it was way too soupy. I would have to equate it to a very watered down bisque at best. There was also no Lobster taste to this Lobster Bisque. Instead this Lobster Biaque had a very buttery taste and that was about all I was able to taste in this Bisque. I ordered for my main course the Fruiti di Mari. The mussels and clams were well done, soft and flavorful. The Shrimp was also done well. The calamari and lobster were very chewy and rubbery and were way overcooked. My wife ordered the Chilean sea bass. This fush dish was very flaky, soft, and cooked to perfection with a slight crust full of flavor. The Lobster risotto was light, explosive in flavor with good sized Lobster chunks. All in all, this was a very disappointing experience and very lackluster food. Not at all worth the hype or the price. I will not be returning and recommend you go elsewhere for your dining experience.

I got the pasta with Chicken, Shrimp and Spinach in Alfredo sauce and my husband got the Ribeye. The Ribeye was $50 and had no seasoning, the cook on it was great though. My pasta was extremely bland and had an off smell I decided to ignore, unfortunately due to that I am now dealing with food poisoning from what I believe was the shrimp going bad. The Lobster Bisque used to be our favorite but was extremely salty.

Wow! My Lasagna is small for $22. It literally is 3.5 by 3 inch square. A sandwich is bigger. The kid’s spaghetti is bigger and $11 cheaper. There won’t be a next time.

Food is not good. I have never had a nasty pizza until I went here. The ham tasted expired. And the seafood bowl tasted like an unwashed aquarium , the steak had so much fat. Never again!

Went here for a date I ordered the flair chicken pasta I didn’t really like the flavor after taking my first bite I asked the waiter if she can take it back and take it off are check which she ended up stil charging us not only that my spouse had the ribeye and evertime we started talking and taking a break she would try to take the plate from us multiple times when we clearly told her over and over we’re still eating she didn’t even ask steak was excellent service was horrible.

How disappointing. This is a long review because I’m Pissed. TERRIBLE SERVICE and overpriced food I read all the great reviews. Maybe it was an off night idk I have been on a road trip with my 12 yr old and 2 yr old camping and hiking for days . We had on the road for 6 hrs and were so hungry . I wanted a nice dinner . Read reviews and made reservations. We checked in hotel and ran to eat. Now like I said I have a 2 yr old who has been in car all day. So I had a window of time to get dinner and out before there was a melt down. Let’s start with the waitress brought 2 waters. There were 3 of us I asked her if she could bring a drink for my 2 yr old daughter. She said we only have “to go cups” umhhhhh okay can you bring her one. SHE NEVER DID. Crab cakes are basically sweet hush puppies. And truffle fries taste like normal fries. I really wanted to try a few things on the menu after camping for a few days but After that I was nervous to order multiple $60 dishes Couldn’t decide between salad and chicken. The waitress was rushing me acting aggravated by my questions Asked me if I wanted to add meat to my salad I said yes, steak. Then she said it will be a whole steak . Okay , what cuts . You can get a filet it will be an extra $46. Umhhh I’m still asking about what kind , I didn’t ask the price yet. But I was getting irritated so I said don’t worry about it . I asked her for a drink menu . She NEVER brought it. But all the couples with men at the table she was helping all had drink menus and were getting drinks back to back. I had to ask someone else for a drink menu , a drink for my 2 year old and ordered a drink. Kids pasta was good. My spinach salad was decent . Dressing and pecans and goat cheese were good on it. My 12 year old is a vegetarian who eats Caesar salad everywhere we go. She never complains. She said the dressing was sour. I tasted it. It was sour . I had to ask someone else for a water refill and told them my daughter didn’t like the salad because the waitress never checked on us Waitress came and told me nobody had Ever complained about dressing Okay well just take it and we will get a kids meal. That was good . Bread pudding was decent. Had to wait forever for everything and ask other people When she brought check because now my 2 year old is ready to go I see the Caesar salad and a $3 sprite is on the bill . . I asked her if kids meals came with drinks. No . Okay annoying but whatever . How is it you can charge me for a sprite but didn’t even bring a drink. At this point I’m sooooooo annoyed because I just wanted a nice dinner and it’s not that she was busy. It was that she was busy catering to tables with couples . I don’t know if it was because I was a woman or because we were dressed like we were going to wal mart but she have everyone better service than us. As I was leaving she asked the gentleman next to me is he wanted a drink and gave him a drink menu as soon as she went to table . I told her to take Caesar salad off the check and run my card. She goes over there . Complains about me to the other ladies for a good 3 to 4 minutes while I’m waiting on my credit card and my 2 year old is now throwing her toy cat at the table next to me . I tipped her a dollar. And that makes me mad because I am big on tipping . The restaurant is cute and probably something special for a small town. I wish I would have went to a steak house here. I would have got my moneys worth. Do better and train your servers to treat everyone the same . This restaurant would not survive in a bigger city. Very SUBPAR

The service was horrible.. ribeye was just pure fat.. and we only had one water the whole time. The server did not come back to us after we ordered. She showed all her other tables great service, but we were left in the dust. I’m not sure if it’s because we look young, and she thought we weren’t worth it. But I don’t recommend this place

Went here for the first time ever with my husband and toddler for Valentine’s Day and I have to say, I wasn’t impressed at all. I made a reservation for us 3 and they didn’t have the table ready for all 3 of us, we were short on silverware for most of the time we were there, we had to share. The inside is very nice and clean and I loved the ambience, the drinks were good, too, but that’s it. We only saw our server only once or twice in the whole 3 hours we were there. I had to ask other servers to help us when we needed it. Our drinks came out at a somewhat decent time but got our Garlic Bread appetizer 45 minutes after we ordered it. We didn’t get our food til an hour and a half after we ordered it and our food came out cold! My husband ordered his steak Medium and it came out RARE. He only took 2 bites of his food and we just left because our experience was just that horrible and went for SO LONG. I had ordered the Lobster Ravioli and it was good but it was cold and waaaay too salty. I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to because the sauce had a lot of Lobster shell bits that I had to keep spitting out. I think the food is overpriced as well. The Lobster Ravioli only came with 3 raviolis. Yes it was busy but the only thing that was coming out of that kitchen for the most part were drinks and I give a huge round of applause for the bartenders that could actually keep up with their work. I absolutely will NOT be coming back here. I think this is my first actual bad review I’ve made. Save your money and time and go somewhere else….

This place was pretty good in the beginning but it is absolutely awful now. The pasta is so soft and soggy it's like eating mush. The beef and mushrooms in the beef stroganoff was fatty and tasted like it was really old. The only thing good was the drinks. It also often smells bad when you walk on the doors because they don't keep the bathrooms clean. They are also always out of paper towels in the restrooms. We gave it one more chance just because it had been so good in the beginning but I guess that was it. Sad to see so many restaurants get lazy and go down hill in this area.

We've been here before and had a great experience- tonight undid this. Appetizer was good, drink was wrong.. We then waited over an hour for our food, (2 pasta dishes). I ordered the Frutti de Mare and was picking at it (wondering if my taste buds were off), because it was so sour and fishy, when my husband leans over and ask what was rotting in my bowl! (The seafood had soured.) We informed the waitress, and they ultimately brought me another dish. When we got our check we were informed the meal was discounted due to the wait and food issues. Though we then noticed a salad charge had been added for $8 after the waitress told us it was included.. We decided to ignore it and move it on as everything had taken over 2 hours and we were trying to leave. The waitress gave us a check for $88 and took our card. When she returned with the receipt to sign, the amount has gone up to $112!? I grabbed the check and went to the front, (as we were tired of the dodgy waitress). We showed the man and woman the issue to which the man quickly told us the upcharge was due to us paying by card... ($24??? - no). I quickly showed him at the bottom that the card rate was $92, try again. He and the girl kept looking at it and seemed confused.. I asked him to simply refund it all and I would pay with cash. No response. I repeated it again and he snips at me saying they're working on it... He leaves and the girl is still working on it- after a few more minutes she concludes this is the correct amount because our ticket was discounted due to the food issues.... What!? I explain back, yes, our food was discounted to $88, so why are you charging us the original price.. !? I again ask her to refund the amount off my card and tell her I will pay cash. She finally figured this out and we leave. Two different people trying to placate me, lie to me and pull random nonsensical excuses over on me doesn't fly for me. This whole experience took close to 3 hours, and never received an apology. Bad food, bad service, trying to overcharge us, and Then playing games-- We will Not be back!
