Simone on Sunset

I liked the quiet outdoor vibe! Loved the moon milk cocktail. Only thing I didn’t like was that the cake was still frozen when served. Overall, I would visit again.

The atmosphere was by far the highlight of our visit and easily deserves 5 stars. The space is beautiful, welcoming, and has a great overall vibe. Unfortunately, the food did not quite meet our expectations. We ordered the Margherita pizza, and the dough seemed dense and flat rather than light and airy, lacking the texture typically associated with a properly slow-fermented pizza. The tomato sauce tasted more like plain tomato paste and was slightly acidic, without the balanced flavors you would expect. We also struggled to identify the fresh basil and other classic Margherita notes. The cheese was another disappointment, as it did not have the distinct taste and texture of fresh mozzarella. The fries were very average and felt like standard frozen fries rather than something freshly prepared or hand-cut. As for the service, the staff were friendly and our food arrived without a long wait, but the table setup felt incomplete. Our pizza and fries were brought to the table without any utensils, and only serving plates were provided, which made the experience feel a bit unprepared. Overall, the atmosphere is excellent, but there is definitely room for improvement in both the food and service.

Charming Neighborhood Spot with Great Vibes and Flavor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5) We absolutely loved this hidden gem tucked away in the neighborhood. From the unique decor to the cozy atmosphere and carefully curated music, it was a memorable experience from the moment we walked in. Parking is a bit tricky—you’ll likely need to park along the street—but once you’re inside, that small inconvenience is quickly forgotten. Service was fantastic, and everyone we encountered was friendly and accommodating. We ordered the Margherita pizza, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. They had great drink specials, and the seasoned olives were a flavorful starter—just keep in mind they do contain pits. The cheese board was generous and well-balanced; we asked for a few extra crackers, and the staff provided them without hesitation. One of the highlights is the interior layout—it’s full of unique seating options, including a private room with its own bar that can be rented out for events. There’s also a lovely outdoor seating area, perfect during cooler weather. Make reservations! Final thoughts: Whether you’re looking for a romantic date night, a casual evening with friends, or a cozy solo outing, this place checks all the boxes. We had a wonderful time, and I would absolutely return.

What a fantastic spot in the middle of Rice village!! They have both indoor and outdoor seating available (outdoor have heaters! ) and inside you can find high top, bar and traditional seating. Since technically they are a wine bar, you can still find many other drink choices (their Rhubarb mule and cucumber martini is absolutely delicious). The service is outstanding with everyone warm, courteous and friendly! Our server was Jesse (sorry if I misspelled the name) and he was Amazing. His attention to detail was always on point! The food came out fast, warm and delicious with portions big enough to share. Best of all they have complimentary valet parking. We'll be back!
