Stephens service was next level ⦠one of the best restaurants in the country
Wedding anniversary. Houston restaurant week. Some plates were not available but the rest of the experience was outstanding.
Lovely dinner with my mother
This was our first time at MAD and we were very pleased. The atmosphere seemed alive and energetic. The decor and even furniture was eclectic and exciting. Our server Cole was amazing. Super nice and attentive. He had some great recs as well. The food was outstanding. We sampled the Restaurant Weeks menu and all courses were enough for 2 people to share. Our favorites were the Tuna Tartare and the Calamari Bocadillos. We paired it all with a carafe of their version of Sangria which was very boozy and delicious. Overall we will definitely visit here again and Iâve already told 5 people about it.
Good food and good services ð
First time visit. Came for the Houston restaurant week. Awesome ambience, ended up being seated outside which actually ended up being a good choice as the live DJ was getting a little loud for dinner conversation. But perfect for drinks at the bar ! Food was phenomenal. Glad we were able to try so much of the menu through the HRW menu. Will definitely be back !
Went there for the restaurant week menu. We thought it was a great opportunity to give back and also have a nice dining experience in what we heard was amazing restaurant. When we got there, the hostess took us to our table and told us there was a maximum of 2hrs for dinning with them so they could honor other reservationsâ¦. And then we waited, and waited⦠and waited for almost 30 min. We complain and they recognized our server had way too many tables (10 to be exact) and apologized. New server was assigned to us and he did an amazing job. Food was ok, but not wow. Having traveled to Spain several times, I can say the place is not to compare with the real thing
Wait staff was personable and excellent Great evening!
First time trying this place out for HRW. This place says itâs known for its gastronomy but every dish that came out, the explanation was general. We were expecting a description of how the chefs came up with the idea, etc. Although the staff was attentive (removing finished plates out of our way), we only saw our waiter when he came by to pour our wine. There was a period between course 2 and 3 where we were waiting +30 min. We finally had to ask the FOH to see what was going on - only to be told that it was because the system was down which caused a bit of confusion in the back of the house. Wouldâve been nice to know instead of being left to ponder at our table. When the food finally arrived, one of the staff apologized for the delay and asked if we wanted a refill of our drinks that will be comped off. The music got extremely loud as time went by. We noticed the wait staff paying attention to us more at this point - which made me uncomfortable going from 0 attention to being asked if weâre doing okay every 5 minutes. Our bill ended up close to $300 - which the last time we spent around this amount was at Musaafar and had such a better experience. The drinks were also not comped - but we had no energy to bring it up at this point.
Not the best experience, I think waiters need to be more close to customers. Restaurant close at 3pm, weâre still eating and canât bring drinks due system is close and preparing to change for dinning.
