“My wife and I dined here on a Thursday evening, and were sat somewhat awkwardly across from a group of three women dining together. We were the only people in the restaurant. The experience was --- interesting. As is common with tasting menu restaurants, there was a story to go with each dish presented. Also as common with this sort of thing, some dishes were better than others, and many were just okay. At $150 per person, it was on the expensive side, and I question whether it was worth that. Perhaps $100 would have been appropriate. A wine/cocktail option was offered for something like an additional $125, but everyone declined. We were filled to excess by the food, and found it difficult to imagine having space for drinks on top of that. An interesting experience, but we are unlikely to return at this price point. I think that I have decided that tasting menus just aren't my cup of tea, and I really prefer to go to a place where I can select exactly what I want.“

“Shelby makes a mean lemon drop shot. This bartender has RUINED me! Can’t order and enjoy them anywhere else! They are NEVER the same. She is the BEES KNEES! Bubble Jungle is my favorite nook to wind down and relax. Good drinks, good energy, GREAT space. Love the swings and hammocks.“

“I like Kipp Rose. Cornhole, big chess, 1 pool table. There is a nice fire pit with swings around it. It won't be cool enough to do that for a while, probably, but it was really nice a couple of weeks ago. Good prices, good drinks!! I didn't eat here. I think you can order food from their other concepts, check it out!“

“Had an amazing steak dinner at Kemah Steak Co. Got the full fine dining steakhouse experience from the bar. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Had the classic ribeye & filet with spinach & mac n cheese and a bottle of wine. All was perfectly cooked. The house the restaurant is in, is from the 1930's. The décor is all local treasures. I can not recommend this place enough.“

“We went downstairs to the burger bar, and while we didn't get any food this time around the drinks were great. The new bartender Luke even learned how to make two of my father-in-law's go to drinks and he had such a great attitude. Loved the atmosphere, we definitely will be going back!“
