Line & Lariat — Restaurant in Houston

Hands down just excellent! We had our very first date here and I picked the place because of a certain Malbec they had. I informed the host that it was a special evening and man did they go above and beyond! They took my card before so there was no question of who got to pay at the end, I didn't have time to pick up flowers so they offered me a few from their vase in the back, I had wrapped a present and like clock work the server tacitly brought it out at desert just as I had instructed!

As I mentioned I picked the place based on a wine, however when it came time to bring it out, they had just sold the last bottle! So the manager extended their apologies and offered another bottle and was kind enough to give a discount on the bottle to make up for the hiccup.

Our service was divine, our food was great, the atmosphere romantic and calm just like I had asked for. This place holds a special place in my heart because of how much attention to detail they paid to my wants and needs. With their help our first date was a knockout! I mean, afterall we are just about to celebrate another...

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! Wish I would have read the other reviews before I decided to have dinner here... my experience was very similar. The service was extremely slow (2 hours) and there were only 5 other tables. Then on a $98 check for two people the restaurant added on $14 for gratuity. No wonder the service is slow and no one cares. They get there money! Then, if all of that wasn't bad enough, the hotel manager said they "validate parking". She wrote on my ticket & stapled it to my receipt... Only to get out to the valet attendant and have him argue that we owed him $12. After another trip in to talk to the hotel manager and some trash talking from the valet, we ended up paying $6 for parking (which by the way is not listed as a price on the posted sign). It was an all around bad experience. To make matters even worse... right across the street is Hearsay Gastro which would NEVER do any of the things...

Disappointed, we really wanted to like it. Terrible food and subpar service. We had been here before when it was the voice restaurant. We liked it before and thought it was a good idea to make reservations to celebrate our anniversary here. Wrong choice. Upon arrival, we stood and waited for 10 minutes before the bartender told us to sit ourselves. The bartender didn’t ask us for our drink order and served water. It took twenty minutes before she took out order. I had the Chicken Rositto, and my husband had the steak and scallops. Both the chicken and beef (medium) was very dry. Getting the bill and paying was quick. We asked if parking was complimentary or validated and they said check with the hotel front desk. We asked the front desk and they told us the bar had to validate it. After the ten minute go around, the restaurant manager validated the parking. The restaurant has potential but, no where close to good...
