“My family had a really wonderful experience tonight. Our waitress, Demi, was attentive, thoughtful, and accommodating. The portions were large, reasonably priced, and absolutely delicious. From the surprisingly large kids chicken nuggets (think - mini chicken strips) and whole delicious green beans (nothing from a can, here) My shrimp Alfredo with seasonal vegetables was more than perfect. My husband (not a fish lover) really enjoyed his pecan encrusted red snapper. They even brought us wet wipes at the end - I know it sounds minor, but truly with a family (and baby in tow) this was such an enjoyable dining experience. I will say - we came on a late Sunday evening. It wasn’t crowded, there was plenty of room for my kids to run and play, and the outdoor tables even ROCK like a boat!!“

“Where to start! This was a twenty course meal or so and very decadent. This restaurant is an experience like nothing else you’ve experienced. Every course was beautiful and carefully cultivated. We were served, for example, a course meant to resemble a picnic except in small bites. A BLT was served in a baby tomato, french onion soup in a bite the size of a round chocolate. In sum, the food was phenomenal but also it was art.The fruits and vegetables are from the chef’s own garden and were the best veggies, fruit you’ll ever have. The service was wonderful. The bread was the best I’ve had and the dessert was top 2, if not number 1, I have ever tasted (a dried pavlova that we used small wooden mallets to break open revealing a honey dessert that was to die for). Great experience, amazing food!“

“Our “Sunday Adventures” brought us to Athena’s Corner.We have been searching for authentic Mediterranean food since coming back from Israel that was a closer to home and without driving into Houston. Athena’s Corner is the best by far in this search.Edit2nd visit:We really liked our first selections from the 1st visit but wanted to try other selections from the menu.For appetizers, we tried the KeftedesMeatballs, Falafels & Dolmades Ladoregano.The meatballs were interesting but smaller portions than expected. The Falafels were small, slightly over cooked (maybe we are spoiled from our Israel trips) but had a good taste.For entrees we had Large Greek Salad with Gyro & Chick Pea Salad with Gyro.For dessert we had the Ravani which was amazing!First Visit:Everything from the appetizer to dessert was excellent.We ordered the Dolmades Ladoregano and Hummus for Appetizers.For main dishes, we ordered Chickpea Salad and the Gyro Plate.For dessert, we shared a Chocolate Mousse Cake.We will definitely be back soon!“

“I order the half a pound bison meat patty burger with a side of mac and cheese and thought it was very good. I also got to try what my brother ordered, he had the three cheese with fries and I liked it just as well. I thought the size was good for the price. I specially liked their toppings and condiment bar, it had plenty of options and was very clean and everything looked and tasted fresh. The mac and cheese was very creamy and savory, I would have it again. I loved their chipotle sauce and their coleslaw with mayo. Didn't like their iced tea though. Overall the restaurant was very clean, it's very family friendly. Loved that I saw a group of ladies playing mahjong. The cashier was very friendly and our food was ready pretty fast. Definitely going back if I am ever in the area.“

This is an A+ 5 star spot that I will continue to patronize.“

“I remember Cabo when it was still Club Classic. Cabo has the best lakeside patio in all of Clear Lake with some of the best food. I go at least once a week for the ahi bites. They are the best. It’s slices not bites of sushi grade ahi and it’s a huge portion for the price with tangy ponzu and a peppered crust.Clearly that’s my favorite. It’s always super fresh. I also like their taco night - I do an ahi and a fried shrimp and sometimes the special of the night on Taco Tuesdays. I don’t do steak but their most popular food night is Thursday steak night with $20ish filets with sides.Vegetarian options: Ahi Bites, Fried Shrimp Basket, Fried Fish Basket, Shrimp Scampi (Steak Night), several other things, those are my faves.Lots with the shrimp or fish - I think an Ahi Sandwich too, some more shrimp things, and I want to say a Teriyaki Salmon.Parking: Lots of parking right off of NASA Rd 1“
